We either get a 10.3 with Iridikron or he's the a raid boss of 11. Either way leads to a Void expansion.
Both my predictions and hopes are like this:10.0 - First half year10.1 - Second half year10.2 - Third half year, (release date probably right after Blizzcon in the week of 7th november)10.3 - Fourth half yearThis would obviously make two full years and fit in with the, so far, two-year cadance of expansion-releases.Given the extraordinary patch-cadance in DF, (especially compared to SL), this is not that unreasonable.Finishing up the DF story with killing off Iridikron in 10.3 would be a perfect end to this expansion.On the matter of a "Fated" season, this is in my opinion very unlikely, since the Fated season in SLwas an emergency solution to the immense amount of, obviuosly, cut content in SL, in advantage ofputting more dev time into DF, so wouldn't really expect a similar season in DF.This would probably mean a 11.0 release around the same time as the last expansions, around late november 2024.Highly doubt they would release the new expansion in 2025.
I've discussed this with my guild mates plenty of times before but I believe season 4 will be a full raid tier. Frankly speaking if you look at the overall layout of this expansion, they've done major story for all the dragonflights except one, The Red dragonflight, which belongs to the queen of the dragons. Would be kind of stupid to not do a BIG story event with the Queen of the dragon flights in the dragon expansion. In recent story (Tyrs fall quest) we do play as Tyr in the past who sees a future of all the aspects turning evil including Alexstrasza which is too big of a story point to just do in a minor patch. Mind you I get the blues storyline was kind of minor compared to the others but there isn't really much more to be told about them because they're still rebuilding but they did enough. The Bronze got the recent mega dungeon story line including preventing Nozdormu from turning into Moruzond, embers of nelth covered the black flight, and this new story with 10.2 covers the greens.All in all we have the reds to cover still and Iridikron is still out there with the void energy he consumed from Galakronds fresh corpse. Its my opinion that theres going to be some tipping point where we have to stop Alexstrasza and whatever Iridikron does brings us into the next expansion, possibly the void.
How come pvp players get a normal flying mount version of the drigonriding mounts but the raid dragonriding mounts have no normal flying version?
How the f. did this whole “s4 will be fated” started?The story is far from over with this raid. We will get a proper S4 with new Raid and Zone, there is no indication at all we wont.
I'm gonna be very pissed if they pull a shadowlands again and won't do a 10.3, such a waste to have only 3 raids in an expansion...
I loved Fated season in SL, hopefully they do the same with DF
Getting a real story and new dungeon season 4 and then the bronze themed season 5 being a fated raids / greatest hits dungeon set would make sense. Time walking on ultra mode!
Violet gladiator… lol wouldn’t azure be more fitting?
