Taliesin & Evitel published a video about their experience during the creator summit in London. During it, they comment on their interviews and talks with Ion Hazzikostas, Holly Longdale, and Maria Hamilton about Dalaran, parallels, and lessons learned with Teldrassil.
Main video topics:
- Blizzard won't be testing the intro scenario — Gotta wait for pre-patch/launch to learn what happens!
- Nerubians attacked Dalaran
- But was where Dalaran? Still over the Broken Isles? Moving?
- Unsure of what happens with Khadgar, but it isn't good. Is he dead? or captured?
- The idea behind having Dalaran happen at the start is similar to Legion, to show players the risks of the expansion.
- There was a lot of internal discussion about Dalaran, but devs agree that it is important to have steaks for storytelling, and if nothing changes, nothing changes.
- Teldrassil was often brought up when discussing Dalaran. Devs believe it won't be the same because this time, players are losing together and not in aggressor/victim roles
