Patch 10.1 Developer Interview with MrGM
MrGM interviewed World of Warcraft Production Director Patrick Dawson and Lead Quest Designer Maria Hamilton, talking about the upcoming Dragonflight Patch 10.1: Embers of Neltharion. Major topics include seamlessly transitioning between above and below ground zones, making new friends inside the Zaralek Cavern, and several characters exploring the legacy of Deathwing.
Patch 10.1 Campaign Patch 10.0.7 serves as a prologue to the Patch 10.1 campaign, which will primarily take place within Zaralek Cavern. Patch 10.1 will also feature new quest-story content for the Blue Dragonflight which will occur elsewhere.Players will also continue exploring the story of Tyr. One of the advantages of doing more and more frequent content patches in Dragonflight means the developers can put increased focus on side stories and content adjacent to the main expansion storyline.

We'll also see the impact of Deathwing's presence on the Cavern itself. Wrathion, Sabellian, and Ebyssian will all be involved in the Patch 10.1 story campaign, as well as Scalecommander Emberthal of the Adamant Vigil. The Zaralek Cavern There are multiple entrances to the Zaralek Cavern throughout the Dragon Isles, some burrowed straight into the earth that you can dragonride directly into without transitioning through any kind of loading screen.
