Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Lahis]

Thalyssra and Lor'themar also got married in that time.

Where is that said?

[Jaggler]

It's also much more refreshing to see a cross-race relationship (even though both are still elves).

Baine x Mekkatorque when?

[Makabreska]

Where is that said?

Scroll up to the first Tweet you see.

Oh that is just so beautiful. I love them.

[Super Dickmann]

I like how the usual suspects immediately tried to show Turalyon being crazy against the dragons and here we see a reasonable man tempering his opinion through facts and just being cautious.

Given Blizzard's writing proclivities this not being a hint to Turalyon going full Jihad would be more surprising. Not that I'd be opposed, dude's been a wet blanket at all times except Tides of Darkness.

I do wonder why they abandoned the Liadrin ship for Theron. Probably cause Thalyssra is just far more charismatic.

Bob has some taste and Liadrin's the most boring woman alive. Sooner to have a giant purple wizard step on him and on top of that it has diplomatic merit.

[Raetary]

Am I blind? I don't see that being mentioned in the screenshots...

Sorry, i thought it was the same thread.

Players seemed very eager to assume that Turalyon actually meant to start construction of a dragon gulag in which to throw the undesirables, as compared to considering that a warrior race of hybrid dragons created by Deathwing has returned, and has the ability to turn into humans and elves.
Honestly, you would have to be an idiot not to consider whether this is actually another long term scheme of Deathwing at that point.


Also I had to read the second part there several times. All I could see was "Bob wants the purple wizard to top him"

As much as I enjoy a bit of worldbuilding I have to say this is some clunky ass dialogue. It's not far off having them use the "as you know".

[BaumanKing]

I hope there is no Turalyon again in the new book. Since his return, he appears in almost every new book. Even in the book about Sylvanas, she notes his popularity and handsomeness in comparison to Nathanos. Someone really likes this Mighty Whitey at Blizzard.

He's one of the most popular war heroes. He also isn't a corpse like Nathanos. But considering your last sentence we know what the real problem is here right?

I was personally very disappointed when the follow-up quest wasn't Turalyon opening up the camps and deporting the dracthyr population as the Holy Light intended. But no, it was just a fairly sensible reaction on the part of a kingdom that has very bad experiences with Deathwing's progeny.

Bob doesn't give me strap-on vibes honestly.

Are these the only things you will be talking about here?

Just report and move on. That user nonstop virtue signals and false concern posts and doesn’t actually engage.

[BaumanKing]

Problems need to be discussed, don't they? Also, Turalyon is hated by most players, so I don't understand your resentment. If I offended you somehow, then I apologize for it.

What is a problem for you, is not for others. Also, proof please of "Turalyon is hated by most players". What would they hate him for? Being white?

[Nebron]

Established?
Her visage was a recolor of Alex but with druid shoulderpads.

They gave her a unique outfit to set her apart, as they did with everyone else.
Besides, all of her core design features are all still present:
- bright horns
- markings
- moon earings
- moon tiara thing
- bob hairdo with tail
- dark blue eyes (as of SL)

Again, the art does not tell us anything that didn't already knew.
All it tells us that 1) she'll be involved, which we already knew she would and 2) she'll get a new model which we knew she would.

- - - Updated - - -



A model that just looks identical to Yseras model design, down to the tiniest detail?
Including details that shouldn't be there, like her dark blue eyes?

1) Yes. Established.

In game model.
Hearthstone card --> yes, usually artworks/ concepts are shared between different IPs within the same franchise, in this case Warcraft. Don't need to look far - N'zoth's WoW appearance is a copy-paste from the HS card. Also, her Heartstone appearance is nothing but upgraded version of WoW's model, that existed prior to Heartstone.

So yes, Ysera's appearance has been established long time ago, whether you like it or not. It doesn't mean it can't be changed. On contrary, that's precisely what Blizz just did with Alexstrasza in Dragonflight - updated her model. But you can't just randomly question the idea that some NPC's appearance has not been established, while it's a unique model, lol.

2) The second part is just... nonsense, sorry? You said: the art only tells us that she will be involved. Well, but that's the whole point of this discussion. We have no idea whether it's Ysera. Not that it matters if either of us is right really. It's just that you make assumption and then jump straight to conclusion, while rephrasing this assumption as a fact. It doesn't work that way

- - - Updated - - -

Do none of you remember what these characters look like. The person on the loading screen looks exactly like Merithra and looks nothing like Ysera.

That's why my money is still invariably on Merithra

Doing the timeskip BEFORE a world revamp makes me worried about it actually happening, TBH. It feels bizarre to do it now.

The "several years" is the interesting thing to me. What are we talking about here, 5 years? 7 years?

Maybe this is done to age up certain characters. Like for instance, depending how long it ends up being Moira and Thaurissan's child should be a young adult at this point, I think? Otherwise I agree, its weird to do this specifically for DF.

You and others assume a world revamp is happening.

It'd be better to just assume it won't, and then you'll be pleasantly surprised if/when it does. Because people have been going "___ indicates a world revamp is coming" for the past like, four expansions.

Yeah, not sure why..
The biggest thing I can see coming is them fixing small things like they did with Stormwind when that part actually needs to be updated.
