Nick, Rei, Harv, and Eric are here on an off-week to talk about the Dragonflight announcement! Nick begins by talking a little about the cinematic, but then Rei brings up the return of talent trees. They talk about how they will have the feature of letting you save loadouts so you can customize your tree based on your activity.

Harv talks about how Ion commented that they have enough melee specs, and takes umbrage as he thinks survival hunter should go back to being ranged.

Eric talks about the new Dragon Riding skill and customizable dragon. They speculate on how the Dragon riding system might work, but Nick comments that he’s glad that flying will be available at launch, since the Dragon Isle should be designed with that in mind, because they are inhabited by dragons. They also talk about how they might have progression through customizing your dragon, with locking various appearance features behind achievements and the like.

Next, they talk about the UI changes, and everyone admits to using the base UI or something similar. They also talk about the Dracthyr race and Evoker class. Nick mentions how evoker combat will have quicktime influences. Nick asks if the Dracthyr appearance is satisfactory. They also mention the Obsidian raid that will be the first tier.

They also talk about Wrath of the Lich King Classic being announced. The gang agrees that not including Group Finder is a wise choice. Harv is excited to play it and Nick mentions looking forward to the level 70 boost so he can check out Wrathgate.

Hosts

Nick Zielenkievicz

Host of WoW! Talk! and The Tauren & The Goblin. Sometimes known as the Video Games Public Defender. Wants to play more Destiny and Marvel Heroes but WoW is all-consuming. Decent F2P Hearthstone player. Sad that he lost the Wii that had Wrecking Crew on it. Would be happy if the only game ever made was M.U.L.E. Gragtharr on Skywall-US. Garresque on Ravencrest-US.

Rei Liou

Rei is the 1 of the 5 SEELE members and the Ops Director at MTB. She enjoys anime, baking, cooking, gaming ( fighting, puzzle, rhythm, RPGs ), and spending WAY too much time working on spreadsheets. Current Games: Tales of Crestoria, WoW

Eric Knutson

Auto mechanic, car enthusiast, gamer, runner and almost never serious, Eric has been ditching responsibilities and gaming since age 7. His favorite genres are FPS and racing, although most of his game time is currently spent on WoW

Christopher Greer

Chris has been playing World of Warcraft since 2007. When he's not playing his hunter in Azeroth, he's probably playing one of his many alt hunters. If not doing that, he's probably playing a different hunter.
