Came back to WoW a few days ago. Heol has returned as well. He says his video card died on him, why he wasn’t on for months.
The reason I came back was to get geared and hopefully do some raiding in the future. Unfortunately, nothing dropped that I needed of the runs I did.
Coming back to SW after discovering Mr. Robot has a thing that shows a recommended build for each race and class.
Getting that done, I flew around SW and then saw something different near the area with the Cata portals. It was some kind of small monument. Two Drakkins from Wyrmrest Temple are guarding something black and glowing red in places in the middle of it.
As I looked closer, it looked like… what was left of Deathwing. And I saw Chromie standing there, talkable.
I walk over, ask her what the hell is this thing, and she mentions about she can show me the aftermath of what happened to Deathwing at the Maelstrom.
Asking her to show it, comes up with a movie of Thrall, the orc you helped save him, and all the dragon aspects in their human forms. Thrall mentions that “the Cataclysm, is over”. Then Alexstrasza mentions that “it’s time to see from mortal eyes”, and how their time is coming soon. They look at Thrall’s wife and see she’s pregnant. And then mention that this is “the age of mortals”.
So…, does this mean the dragon aspects (maybe even all of dragonkind) can now die in peace, knowing mortals will take over? Are they saying they have fulfilled their destiny in ridding Azeroth of all evil?
Something I have found out after poking around in Wowhead, the Alexstrasza-like dragon mount (called “Life-Binder’s Handmaiden”) is only available if you complete the end of the Dragon Soul raid in Heroic. It’s unknown to me if this is a Dragon Form mount. Going by the description, there’s nothing about that it “transforms you into a (dragon name here)”. Which makes the Sandstone Drake the only Dragon Form mount.
You can also get this same mount (but it’s called “Reins of the Blazing Drake”) from the Dragon Soul raid in Normal, but it’s a rare drop. I haven’t seen anyone as of yet with this mount. When I do, I’ll be sure to edit this part of this blog post.
All that is known, isn’t affecting the rest of the game. It’s just Deathwing has been defeated, and Azeroth can finally heal (though I doubt it ever will. Only Blizzard can do that). Who the guild was that killed Deathwing for the first time on this server, is a mystery. But it seems anyone that participated is received a new title; “, Destroyer’s End”.
I just wish I could of been a part of it that first killed him. In a way, I was. I stopped the Maelstrom from collapsing into itself by repairing the World Pillar, and got the Dragon Soul to Wyrmrest. I contributed putting an end to Deathwing in my own way. I also brought Thrall back. So where’s my title? Heh.
I can still do the Dragon Soul raid once I’m geared enough, but it has no meaning now since he’s dead anyway.
Will this stop the rare Deathwing encounters? No idea. I say, possibly. That means, no more achievement for my future chars.

Moving on, I had a temporary idea of creating chars for just getting all skills up to 525. That way I won’t have to rely on asking others for what I need. I can rely on my chars. But that would take too long. Plus, what would I name them? Plus I would have to gear them up as well and get them to 85. That’s why I decided to scrub the idea.
There’s also this new mount on the Blizzard Store — the first purchasable dragon mount outside of the game. Costs $25. It’s called the Heart of the Aspects. It’s a golden dragon, but it doesn’t have the same flying/hovering animation as all dragon mounts do. Some say it’s a Chinese Dragon, since officially, this is the ‘Year of the Dragon’ in China.
Yet, it’s not a true Chinese Dragon, since Chinese Dragons have really short legs, or no legs at all. Also, Chinese Dragons don’t have wings. Plus, what’s with the helmet? It makes it look like a Proto Drake.
There’s been talks of course about the newest mount in the game. Most are saying it’s really cool and I agree. But some say that it should of been made as a rare drop for the Heroic version of Dragon Soul (I also agree to that. It’s too easy to get such a cool mount). Others are laughing at the people for paying $25. They’re just jealous.
As for me? I’m thinking of getting one. But Wowhead is giving away 10 of them, and 20 of these Blizzard Collector Cups. All you gotta do is comment in the post about it.
I doubt I’ll win one. Many will play, only ten will win.
I will buy one, but not now. By the end of the month if I’m lucky.
