Dragonflight - Music & Ambience | World of Warcraft Dragonflight

[@Meisio]

Hi. The promised Dragon Isle movie is here. The music has been out for some time. Some of you might have listened to it by now. This movie should have been released at least 48 hours before, but I have big issues with my computer. My graphics card (Nvidia 1080 Ti) seems to have problems lately (big fps drops while in WoW and now I can't render in Premiere Pro, I've rendered this movie 11 times). Apologies for the delay. Now to business: - This is not the entire music, just a selection / mix which I've made; More music in the related zone video (coming soon); - I still adapt to the music from Dragonflight. I am not saying it's bad, I was expecting less ambiental music sometimes; - Some music is just great, I loved it from the beginning, some tracks I've learned to love after few times I've listened to it; - There isn't enough Thaldraszus and Valdrakken music, we need more music there; - Jake Lefkowitz, David Arkenstone and Glenn Stafford composed most of the music, but I saw Derek Duke and C. Nguyen helping. Maybe 2 more main composers would have been great, to bring more variety. I was expecting for Derek Duke to compose the Tuskarr pieces (like he did in Wrath) and I did not see Neal Acree's name at all in this expansion. It's a great loss in my opinion. And yea... a wild thought... I wanted to see Russell Brower coming back one last time for the Azure Span tracks. This did not happen. - The zones videos are coming next, but it's wise to wait a bit to see if there is more music coming out. I'll work in the background if my main computer allows it. But I fear my video card will not hold much more. Did you enjoy this video? Give it a like, listen to more (playlist links below), subscribe. Do you want to further support my work? Details in the video description. *Related:* NEW Dragonflight playlist (to be updated): tiny.cc/df50xy All World of Warcraft music & ambience playlist: tiny.cc/zti5wy Livestream with Music & Ambience: kzbin.infolive With love, Meisio

[@preds43]

It being ambient is kinda the point tho, so I'm not mad at this :D

[@Meisio]

@@preds43 I was expecting a mix of it, but maybe it's just my expectation :) Ah maybe another thing actually bothered me: when the music sounds like Disney music.

[@preds43]

@@Meisio The vibe is that the expansion is also supposed to feel Magical, so I do not fault the Disney-esc Music. I am actually really happy for this type of theme. Gives me some Classic and Wrath vibes :D I totally get how you feel though

[@billymanziel5666]

No Neal?? Tragic

[@nicktacora]

I've been waitiing this video for too long my friend. Thanks a lot again! This give color to my morning and make me fly while I work. Thanks and Thanks again ❤ Greetings from Argentina 🇦🇷

[@ShamyTV5k]

a pity they discontinued archaeology, this was my most favorite thing to do while listening to the awesome music of WOW

[@Meisio]

Oh yea. This was the perfect time to re-launch it.

[@Goremael]

Totally agree!

[@preds43]

There seems to be archeology things for renown, but it's not part of the specialization, sadly. It's just for things like the Dragonscale guys etc.

[@MrBlueSleeves]

I have a feeling they'll bring it back at some point. Dragonflight is the start of refreshing systems and make them last in the game. Might be copium, but I trully hope they'll move away from borrowed power permanently

[@arcanerune9134]

They said they are going to bring it back however, they are looking into how they can change surveying.

[@billymanziel5666]

Meisio a certified WoW legend in my eyes

[@Meisio]

Thank you kindly :)

[@akiyamach]

This soundtrack has the good old Azeroth vibes and I love it.

[@Goremael]

I must admit that this expansion didn't excited me until now that I'm listening and watching this video. It's incredible how someone's work can change your feelings.

[@Meisio]

You made me smile. Thank you. You are too kind obviously :)

[@soklot]

Azure span music is beautiful. Grizzly Hills vibes.

[@Meisio]

Sounds like a cliché, but it comes naturally to love Azure Span music. I also like it a lot.

[@rontheproton1783]

The music always tryna pull me back into playing this

[@ВикторТодоров-л8ы]

The new music is so good! The Azure Span sounds like Grizzly Hills but with a twist. The soundtrack is honestly so cozy, it saddens me so much that I won't be able to play it anytime soon...

[@Meisio]

Life first! But do come back to WoW when you have time or when you need to heal. Take care!

[@Robzeke]

I don't typically get into WoW's music outside classic and BC but Dragonflight had some nice tunes that already makes me think back fondly on going through the zones the first time. Its going to be really nostalgic years from now.

[@Kyoraku54]

After I departed from WoW universe there are only two things I was left with to enjoy from it - Lore and Music ....thank you for helping me with one of these.

[@Mowthelawn3]

The azure archives are so beautiful! Thank you so much for this upload, love listening to it during my commutes to and from work.❤

[@ArchonKain]

Such a pity that one of the best tracks is so saddeningly short, Tyrhold is an incredible track with that familiar Northrend Storm peaks/Ulduar melody that carries it gently into the next motif.

1:02:45 this part with the flute at the beginning is genius. It resembles Mozart to me in a way, no exaggeration. Just listen to Concerto for Flute and Harp, K. 299 II. Andantino. And of course, the Grizzly Hills-like part after it is just magical... Also listen to 1:03:50 - incredible.

[@Mowthelawn3]

The only video on KZbin I have downloaded so far with my premium subscription. That speaks volumes! Thank you for all you do!

[@knopflerfan001]

During the last expansion, I used to put my own music to play on the background. Guess I won't need to anymore, and I'm glad for it! Amazing soundtracks!

[@crystaladmin2632]

The zone is stunning, the Ost is a masterpiece altogether. Also helps the feels along reading some High-Fantasy. Thanks for the quality upload per usual, mate. ⚔

[@Mjs13u]

Looks and sounds great! Sorry to hear about the tech trouble but glad you’re keeping up the fight

It's not pleasant, but I have to tighten the belt and look for another card. I hope it will keep me long enough to finish these movies though.

[@jasonrouse2371]

[@Davids_Stalidzans]

It's like Zereth Mortis met Pandaria. Beautiful.

[@Meisio]

The Zereth Mortis part is actually true. But I am not sure why did you say Pandaria!?

[@MeekoBear808]

echoing some of the other comments, i wasn't too excited about this expansion but after listening to this wonderful compilation this morning it has really got me all pumped to play. might be time to resub! thanks meisio

[@jeanpaulazzopardi2780]

A cheeky homage to Storm Peaks at 1:46:50 - nothing will beat wotlk music

[@Meisio]

Yep yep :)

[@Algyr_]

Considering I'll never step into the game until Bobby's out and the game''s path dramatically changes (so.. most likely never), this content helps a lot with getting the vibe of the new expansions, thank you for that.

[@Meisio]

Fair enough Ciprian. The merger with Microsoft can't come soon enough.

[@hawkstrike18]

@@Meisio hmmm Soros, Gates, Kotick, Rothschild, Kissinger, Kardashians, Beckhams (? nowadays there are much worse than them in football and music business but ok, just a name that sprouted), or Arabs and Chinese billionaires... what difference does it make? None of the non "plebs" will ever right any wrong. They only wanna exploit. The case of Twitter has only made clearer how it's gonna go (and has been going for a while, maybe). If only plebs would focus on refusing to follow false figures/role models, and their goals/cynicism. But, many paradoxes involved there, I guess. Won't risk sounding too crazy by trying to make full sense of this atm, I finally got sleepy listening to this - at 2/3 atm, may stay up till it finishes, but not with eyes open. (I like quieter pieces but I'm not sure yet, except for the Azure part and the one before it iirc) p.s. Ciprian, kudos to you for the self control, standards, etc :p

[@gly1126]

Just stumbled over this and want to give thanks for creating and sharing it. As always, the music in this expansion is amazing, though can understand the challenge in getting to know the music in game in each zone when you're doing mach 3. /wink

Seeing how lovely these new areas are makes me wish more than ever that they'd remove the crippling view distance fog. These could be so much more.

The frames drop a lot if you gaze too much into the distance. They actually allowed us to look farther than usual. My computer doesn't seem to keep up with this though.

I haven't played since WOD. Do you think I've missed out on too much story to come back for Dragonflight?

[@peonoreeves3852]

music team carrying blizzard as always what's new

[@hawkstrike18]

Well, what's new, you say... certainly not the type of comment you left here :p 99% of ppl say/parrot this exact statement the last 6+ years...🤷 Not sure I fully agree as it's not just the music that keeps me returning occasionally, but it sure is consistently one of the top 3 reasons to bother with this game, no matter the differences between xpacks. For many ppl anyway. Then again, it's both good and bad that you can just rely on KZbin to listen to the OST; I for one would prefer getting the full experience for a year straight, but sadly it has never happened, and like I've said several times in the past it's probably too late to be able to enjoy it as much as before. Anyhow, point was, music alone can't "carry" a game. It has its flaws but it's still not simply popular, but inciting strong feelings for sure. Love/hate relationship mostly, but with emphasis on love, for many, still, even if they aren't returning frequently. Tbh music won't be what will have carried it this time, especially, if it proves to be a successful expansion in the long run. Ppl seem to be as greedy as the company itself, just asking and asking for more and better content. If they don't get it they won't stop whining and roasting everything (sometimes justly ofc). In fact, most whine regardless, usually. World needs to chill in general tho, but.... complaining about entertainment may be better than...other things. Who wants to criticize themselves, for example? (without overdoing it, preferably)

[@Meisio]

@@hawkstrike18 Let's wait and see who carries what... :) The music will be listened more if the expansion was successful.

[@peonoreeves3852]

@@hawkstrike18 I just mean the music is usually better than the game I didn’t literally mean the music would carry the game.

[@hawkstrike18]

@@peonoreeves3852 :p That's obvious too ...that the music has been better I mean (dunno about lately but still) - the whole direction of gaming/entertainment _industry_ is based on the formula of a good package (be it sharper graphics+/good OSTs, and just popular chars/franchises) but mediocre features/depth tho, I think... Ppl being hyped shouldn't be a thing since at least 5 years ago, every game has been rushed etc even before that mark. I'd argue bread n circus will be over soon anyway, but that's for another topic n time. That said, it's not 100% bad to be playing your fav game(s) as long as you're able to. But knowing they'll never be the same (generally speaking) should help you not be addicted to them, and appreciating them (and everything else while you're at it) for what they are - or better yet, play them as you want to, if that's still an option... Also, let's not even write off the new expansion without seeing it released first, lolz. You never know, we could be wrong. Well, some weren't satisfied with Legion which was pretty good, and such ppl will always whine as if a game getting everything right (whatever that means, past a certain point, for different ppl with different preferences) is something easy, but hey. There sure seems to be more depth this time tho, just with the new talents and potential story. Gearing has always been a prob for me and it gets worse now that I want to use more chars, but I can't dismiss that they've taken some steps to find *some* balance... the parts with the excessive grind, they can keep em for other types of players tho, I'm not bothering like I used to.

[@hawkstrike18]

@@Meisio yh, that's a factor as well, indeed. But I'm always trying to do justice to everything separately :p Too early for that. I can risk being seen as a failed prophet tho, as most ppl seem to think I'm one, by default. And yet, I'm almost always vindicated, mwahaha. It just takes ppl time to admit I was right (those who are capable of that behavior). Oh well. To be honest tho, I shouldn't talk much about WoW, as I've barely played/seen enough content after WotLK, or even before it, in reality xD Maybe except for WoD and Legion, but I never do endgame, so..... Just the talents add something old&new tho, and I could just be content with them, depending on how many pts twinks get at each bracket.
