What is World of Warcraft: Dragonflight?
Contrary to the norm,Dragonflightdoesnt pick up directly whereShadowlandsleft off.
Instead, its story takes place three years after the ending ofShadowlands.
What is World of Warcraft: The War Within?
On the other hand,World of Warcraft:The War Withinis the upcoming WoW expansion pack.
Itll be the tenth expansion pack in the long-running franchise.
Itll also be the opening chapter of the multi-yearWorldsoul Sagastory arc.
Story
Throughout WoWs history, the core structure of the story has remained the same.
You know, defend a primary locale using elemental magic.
Explore the world to your fill and uncover long-forgotten secrets.
But what doDragonflightandThe War Withindo differently?
Well,Dragonflightintroduces a new location called the Dragon Isles, an eponymous long-hidden archipelago.
We also meet a new playable race class, the Dracthyr Evoker, an ancient winged humanoid dragonkin.
For a long time, the Dragon Isles have remained uninhabited.
Now, the Dracthyr Evoke has suddenly awakened on the Isles, kicking off an epic storyline.
It packs plenty of open-world content and lots of treasures to uncover across five brand-new subzones.
Overall, the expansion pack delivers improvements overShadowlands, with plenty more content updates released across four seasons post-launch.
We dont have much story detail as of now.
However, we can confirm Nzoth the Corruptor as the root villain.
Also, players will be defending Khaz Algar from enemy forces.
We also anticipate the usual system overhauls, continuously ushering WoW into the modern age.
Perhaps well also get a new playable race from N’zoth’s origins and an increase in the level cap.
But only time will tell.
Gameplay
Dragonflightmade big waves when it introduced dragon riding for the first time in WoW history.
The good news is thatThe War Withinplans to carry forward dynamic flying as well.
Every skill and trait tied to riding dragons inDragonflightwill feature in the new pack as well.
So, all the dragon-riding traits and skills will be available for free immediately after you unlock Dynamic Flying.
This makes it easier for players who missed out onDragonflightto explore the complete dragon-riding system.
BeforeShadowlands, WoW would draw staggering hype and excitement.
Still,Dragonflights efforts to make subtle improvements remain enough to raise anticipation forThe War Within.
On the storyline front,Dragonflightis better thanShadowlands.
However, we still expect to see more disruption in the norm.
Weve even had a faster content drip than ever before withDragonflight, keeping fans busy beforeThe War Withins arrival.
All in all,Dragonflightis a decent expansion with plenty of non-filler side quests and world content.
A quick reminder that pre-orderingThe War Withincomes withDragonflightincluded.
So, you dont need to buyDragonflightseparately (if you havent already).
