And given what we know from the Alpha... All I'll say is, the story being told was set up perfectly by 11.2 and Locus-Walker, and I'm really glad Alleria is getting to be so flawed and complicated in this main character role. I can't wait to test Voidstorm.

Because ultimately Alleria *was* right about her, and now instead of being driven on a basic path of vengeance for her sister's city, she's driven by the personal loss of a loved one, and the belief that *only* she has the power to stop Xal'atath. That's SO much more compelling.

It's why I was kind of happy to see her regress a bit in 11.1, because yeah, choosing the cold logic over vengeance worked in that moment in Hallowfall, but Xal'atath herself is still ultimately the threat to solve. And it led into her hyper-focus on Xal'atath in 11.2 perfectly.

I can admit fully, 11.0 really didn't really sell me on Alleria's new arc. Dalaran as her motivation for vengeance on Xal'atath felt like cheap shock value, and a rip-off of her sisters (especially Vereesa). And as a whole, it felt like her inner turmoil resolved *way* too fast.

The article in question! One of 11.2's biggest strengths for me was finally focusing the intent of Alleria's story, after a *lot* of meandering since her introduction in Legion. The way they used Locus-Walker was *so* good for Alleria's character. https://t.co/9M3FfPHuin

Currently, Devourer doesn't use their glaives as their ranged idle animation, but they don't have a unique caster pose either, so they unfortunately just... do their fist weapon post like Visage form Evokers haha Hopefully they get a unique pose animation like the other casters.

On request, a random assortment of Devourer DH ability visuals to showcase their full Void skillset. Currently only Throw Glaive still uses fel visuals, but that's likely just outdated.

It then does a quick intro to specializations, mounts, inns, and then he's off! Certainly streamlined towards the DF story experience, but it definitely loses a bit of the "early introduction to WoW" charm that the capitol city exploration had.

No more flight out of the zone or Metzen outro, sadly, just goes into a flashback cutscene from DF prepatch and then you're suddenly on the Dragon Isles.

Dungeon is all the same mechanically, only difference is the final boss is a mind-controlled Kalecgos who frees himself at 50% health.

Doing this as Anduin was such a good choice

Shocked to see them create a new IGC just for this, but it's nice to ease players into that budget instead of scuffed ones This definitely... leans closer to DF Wrathion's characterization than I'd like though

Wrathion is now the one captured instead of Garrick's son, and the plot of the zone seems to be turning *Kalec* into an undead dragon instead of just a random one

Jaina has basically totally replaced Captain Garrick as the main NPC

The first voice you hear as a new player now is not Terenas, nor is it Metzen... it's now Nozdormu. And technically, the first character you're ever told about is Wrathion lol

Doing some very quality testing for the new Exile's Reach on the alpha

And sadly there's the roadblock towards me doing any more, Eversong is currently entirely inaccessible (even with Far Sight) outside of Silvermoon. I'll continue this in about... three weeks! Might not have time to do Zul'aman this week so next up will probably be Harandar.

I can't wait to see the visuals on this cinematic, and I actually really like this status-quo difference compared to an xpac like Legion. Instead of an active, world-wide invasion we're trying to fight against, it's a fight to *prevent* the invasion from starting.

This guy could probably use a better fight, for the finale of this questchain and the guy who is *at* the Sunwell, he's a bit of a wimp lol

The Kil'jaeden wallpapers have been replaced with big glorious phoenixes, though sadly the rest of the old interior of Sunwell Plateau seems inaccessible at a glance. Maybe it'll be there with flying though.
