Following Blizzard’s most recent expansion announcement, Asmongold, a popular Twitch streamer and World of Warcraft veteran, offered his thoughts on the upcoming expansion and its new features.
The Worlf of Warcraft team has finally announced its next project after nearly two years in Shadowlands, one of Blizzard’s most widely panned expansions. Dragonflight will be the next installment in the long-running franchise, with draconic themes running through many of the expansion’s planned features.
Asmongold, a veteran of the infamous MMORPG, has only recently returned to World of Warcraft after spending several months scouting other games such as Lost Ark, New World, and Final Fantasy XIV.
Many of the leaks and rumors leading up to Dragonflight’s announcement were heavily covered by the streamer, who greeted the official reveal with rapturous applause.
Asmongold was looking over the various new and updated features on the game’s website, the newest class and race addition, the Dracthyr Evoker, piqued his interest.
The popular Twitch streamer praised the design of the Dracthyr before going on to praise the new dragon riding mechanics. Unlike other mounts, dragon riding is said to allow players to customize their dragon’s appearance as well as its movement patterns. Asmongold appeared ecstatic to see the new mounts in the game, claiming that he had suggested highly customizable mounts numerous times before.
Many details about the upcoming expansion have yet to be revealed, so initial reactions have been mixed. For the time being, this new take on the dragonflight, one of World of Warcraft’s most iconic factions, appears to have re-captured Asmongold’s interest.
