Nick, Rei, Eric, and Kurabara are back this week to say goodbye to one of the better expansions in WoW’s history, Dragonflight. But first, Rei talks about how with cross-realm guilds have lead to an increase in the number of guild applications over the last few weeks. She also brings up the Radiant Echoes events which, after an initial problematic period, were fixed by Blizzard to be quite rewarding. She comments that daily quests should auto-accept. She also talks about how in Throne of Thunder there is a way to skip the cutscene before Tortos.

Eric discusses playing Remix and enjoying it as a latecomer. They talk about how it is still possible to get plenty of stuff from it even with the event winding down. He also discusses how they are running through all three heroic raids over two raid nights each week.

Kura talks about how he has his characters ready for The War Within.

Nick leads a discussion about Dragonflight. They talk about how impactful Dragon Riding was. They also consider the strength of the raids. They discuss whether the story was enjoyable even with the threat scaled back from the reality-ending nature of the Jailer in Shadowlands. They talk about the rapid cadence of patches in Dragonflight as well as the other events that surrounded the expansion like Plunderstorm and Mists of Pandaria Remix. They also look at Dragon Riding as an expansion defining feature, and give their rankings for where Dragonflight comes in over all expansions.

In the news, quests will reward all appearances in 11.0.5. Blizzard also released an animated short called Threads of Destiny featuring Xal’atath. More Twitch drops are coming. Blizzard also detailed how character conversion for MoP Remix characters will work. And Microsoft and Activision have formed a new team within Blizzard to make AA games.

Finally, we look back 100 episodes to WoW! Talk! 171 when we were disappointed by the Shadowlands launch delay, yet that was not the most ominous news that week.
