Greetings, players!

After some time, keeping information for us and slightly teasing you occasionally, it's time to go all-in with Dragonflight! Because we all know that most of you want to see if we will release Dragonflight or even how the development of the expansion is. We assure you that months of work have already been poured into the expansion, and lots of content has been successfully added. Although the development is still a bit early, we can confidently show you how everything is developing and our expectations about each part.

Soon enough, we will prepare a Closed Beta realm of Dragonflight. The realm will be exclusive for particular players, who will get invited based on activity, loyalty, and also by getting invited through events, giveaways and other means! We will also look for Influencers (streamers, Youtubers, etc.) to help us promote the expansion using our Closed Beta realm to review our content and showcase it for other players. If you want to work with us, please get in touch with us on Discord!

We hope you enjoy it!

RAID - VAULT OF THE INCARNATES

The first raid of the expansion is one of the most important features to add for PvE players, and so it has been in development for the longest time.

The entire raid will be available for players to test during the Closed Beta phase. Here's the development status:

Vault of the Incarnates:

DRAGONFLIGHT DUNGEONS

The Dungeons of Dragonflight is content we have been developing almost since the beginning. Providing adventures, challenges, and ways to get gear has also been one of our main priorities, and we are sure you will be satisfied.

Here's the current status of developments of the eight Dragonflight dungeons:

Algeth'ar Academy: The development was finished some time ago, and many tests and fixes have been performed. The dungeon should be in an advanced status of stability and playability. Some more fixes will be applied during the Closed Beta phase of the realm.
Brackenhide Hollow: The development was finished some time ago, and many tests and fixes have been performed. The dungeon should be in an advanced status of stability and playability. Some more fixes will be applied during the Closed Beta phase of the realm.
Halls of Infusion: The development was finished some time ago, and many tests and fixes have been performed. The dungeon should be in an advanced status of stability and playability. Some more fixes will be applied during the Closed Beta phase of the realm.
Neltharus: The development was finished some time ago, and many tests and fixes have been performed. The dungeon should be in an advanced status of stability and playability. Some more fixes will be applied during the Closed Beta phase of the realm.
Ruby Life Pools: The development was finished some time ago, and many tests and fixes have been performed. The dungeon should be in an advanced status of stability and playability. Some more fixes will be applied during the Closed Beta phase of the realm.
The Azure Vault: The development was finished some time ago, and many tests and fixes have been performed. The dungeon should be in an advanced status of stability and playability. Some more fixes will be applied during the Closed Beta phase of the realm.
The Nokhud Offensive: The development was finished recently, and some tests have been performed. Fixes are undergoing, so you may expect some instabilities and issues with enemies inside. Expect the dungeon to change a lot during the Closed Beta.

DRAGONFLIGHT MYTHIC+ DUNGEONS

Compared with the normal Dragonflight dungeons, these took longer to start developing and have ready. As a difference, 4 of these Mythic+ dungeons are Dragonflight dungeons, meaning we could not begin developing the Mythic+ version until the regular version was ready. On top of that, the other 4 Mythic+ dungeons come from old expansions' dungeons, which means that in some cases, a complete rewrite was necessary for the dungeon to be implemented on its Mythic+ version. In any case, here's the development status of the Mythic+ dungeons of Dragonflight!

Algeth'ar Academy (Dragonflight): The development is finished, and tests are being performed.
Ruby Life Pools (Dragonflight): The development is finished, and tests are being performed.
The Azure Vault (Dragonflight): The development is finished, and tests are being performed.
The Nokhud Offensive (Dragonflight): The development is finished, and tests are being performed.
Temple of the Jade Serpent (Mists of Pandaria): The development is finished, and tests are being performed.
Halls of Valor (Legion): The development is finished, and tests started being performed recently.
Court of Stars (Legion): The development is finished, and tests started being performed recently.
Shadowmoon Burial Grounds (Warlords of Draenor): Only the last boss is left to be finished, and then global tests will be performed on the dungeon.

DRAGONFLIGHT ZONES

New expansion means new zones! The Dragon Isles bring us new places to explore and have adventures on, and of course, this also includes the starting zone of the new race: The Dracthyr!

We will list the new zones and the current development status on them. Of course, being as massive as they are means they have lots of work to do.

The Forbidden Reach (levels 58 - 60): The starting zone of the Dracthyr! Of course, the entire area has been scripted already, with all the primary quests implemented.
The Waking Shores (levels 60 - 62): The first zone players see when arriving on the Isles! All the main questlines have been developed and implemented. 5 out of 6 side questlines have been implemented as well, and sadly, no World Quests have been done yet (but will be worked on and implemented during the Closed Beta).
Ohn'ahran Plains (level 62 - 65): This is the second zone, home of the Green Dragonflight! The primary and side quests are fully implemented, and the World Quests are being worked on! They should be done before the release of the live realm!
The Azure Span (level 65 - 68): A frigid zone, home of the Blue Dragonflight! Both the main and side quests are fully implemented. Almost all the World Quests have been implemented already, leaving just a few that will be done during the Closed Beta. The entire zone should be fully available when the live realm gets released!
Thaldraszus (level 68 - 70): The seat of power of the Dragon Aspects and their flights! Also, where the main city is located: Valdrakken! For this zone, we know that all main questlines are done, one side questline is implemented for now, and some rares and treasures are finished. Everything else is currently under development, and most of them should be implemented during the Closed Beta stage.

CLASSES

As always, every time there's a big update, like a whole new patch or, in this case, a new expansion, there are significant changes in the classes. Of course, this means that a lot of work will have to be done to ensure balance between classes, and since there's a new class called Evoker, extra work has to be done.

Of course, our developers have been working on this since the beginning, having constant tests and fixes every day based on the reports. This is where the Closed Beta realm will shine the most: players will be able to join us to test the content of the realm and help us spot the issues with classes as quickly as possible. We know how hard it is to keep a perfect balance between classes, but we will keep working until we achieve this.

On a side note, the class tier sets have been implemented and work! More tests will be done, but they should work almost as intended.

Additionally, the third spec of the Evokers is disabled since it was added later in Patch 10.1.5.

DRAGONRIDING

This is a whole new mechanic, bringing new challenges and many rewards! Dragonriding brings races across every zone of The Dragon Isles and overhauls how flying with dragons works from now on, making them more dynamic and fun to use!

We are going to specify the status of development of the entire feature:

Renown - Valdrakken Accord: Leveling up and progressing on the Valdrakken Accord renown tree, you can unlock many different types of rewards, such as additional quest chains, scenarios, collectables, cosmetics, techniques and more! All the rewards are working for now, but sadly, all the rewards that unlock new content, such as quest chains and more, have not been implemented yet (they are being worked on).
Glyphs: Collectible items across the map that award you points to spend in the Dragonriding Talent system! All of the ones from patch 10.0.2 have been implemented!
Talents: What good is it to get talent points if talents don't work? Although not all talents work, most do, and the rest will be implemented during the Closed Beta phase.
Dragon Customization: This is one of the fun parts of the feature, where you can fully customize your Dragonriding experience! Many customization options will be unlocked by default, while many more will be unlocked using manuscripts. There are many different ways and sources to unlock the additional ones, and of course, since some of them depend on other quests and scenarios unlocked by the Valdrakken Accord renown system, not all of them will be available immediately. The feature works, of course!

Races: This is one of the most critical aspects of the whole feature! Sadly, due to its complexity, the development has not been started yet, but it's planned! The race development will begin as soon as everything else is done, and we should see some progress during the Closed Beta!

👈 Back 👈 - ☝️ Index ☝️ - 👉 Next 👉

PROFESSIONS

In Dragonflight, professions are going through a massive overhaul that changes the system forever, adding new mechanics and ways to craft and send gear to people! Most of these mechanics have been under development for a long time, and we are pretty happy to share the progress here!

Profession System Overhaul: Excellent progress has been made! The main crafting professions are done, but the development still hasn't started for the gathering ones. The new interface overhaul has been successfully implemented!
Profession Talents: The development is quite advanced. Despite having all of the generic talents working, the specific ones have not been developed yet. However, work is underway, and they should all be done during the Closed Beta!
Crafting Orders: A powerful new aspect of professions! The system works, but sadly, the six weekly quests related to it have not been performed yet.
Introductory Questlines to the Professions: They have been implemented!
Traders and Trainers Weekly Quests: 76 working quests (32 from the traders and 44 from the trainers) have been added to the Profession system!
Hidden Profession Masters: 11 creatures that have been implemented to the server!
Dragon Shards of Knowledge: Used to unlock specialized draconic knowledge about your chosen profession and can be earned from 11 quests, which are working and have been successfully developed!
Profession Items that reward specialization items: Books, NPCs and many other sources that give you specialization points! They have also been implemented, as well as the whole system, which is making a comeback!
Hidden Profession Treasures: There are 57 of them, and sadly, they have not been implemented yet. We may see some progress during the Closed Beta!

👈 Back 👈 - ☝️ Index ☝️ - 👉 Next 👉

PvP

The PvP is always a significant part of the game. Although this expansion doesn't bring any significant PvP changes or new features, it brings a whole new class, spicing up things to find new top PvP combinations and arena partners to dominate your opponents!

The PvP gear and vendors for Season 1 of Dragonflight have been scripted and are working as intended!
Of course, the airdrops have also been implemented.
The new currency of the expansion, the Bloody Tokens, the different ways of obtaining them, the related items to them and the vendors related to this currency have also been scripted. Similarly, the Trophy of Strife also works and can upgrade the corresponding gear successfully.
The awards from battlegrounds and arenas are not fully implemented yet, but they are currently being worked on!
The new Solo Shuffle feature has not started yet but will be implemented.
The new arena of Dragonflight, the Nokhudon Proving Grounds, has not been implemented yet.

👈 Back 👈 - ☝️ Index ☝️ - 👉 ~~Next~~ 👉

EVENTS AND SCENARIOS

Alongside the usual content, this expansion brings many open-world events and scenarios players can unlock and play!
Fighting scenarios, Profession events, questing locations, you name it!

Community Feasts (cooking event): It has been fully scripted!
Fishing Holes (fishing event): It has been fully scripted!
Grand Hunt (fighting event): It is currently being developed in the Ohn'aras Plains.
Siege on Dragonbane Keep (fighting event): The development will start after Grand Hunt's development is finished.
Obsidian Citadel (questing place): The development will start very soon, and we should see some progress during the Closed Beta. It contains one weekly world quest, four rare events; nine rares and over 15 daily quests.
Aylaag Camp (questing event): The development will start very soon. This event brings three camps to phase, six daily quests per camp, which means 18 total quests.
Trial of Flood (fighting event): The development for this feature has not started yet.
Trial of Elements (fighting event): The development for this feature has not started yet.
