Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Nyel]

Like this?


Idk, it kinda robs the logo the charm.

While it looks kinda elegant, it’s pretty boring (although gold and red always works). The orange expansion name is an abomination though next to the bordeaux background.

[Teriz]

Do I need to remind everyone the Dragonflight were created as a worst-case-scenario safeguard against the Void?

You should also remind everyone who created the Dragonflights.

[Nyel]

I don't find it difficult to guess at all. Something metallic and constructed that lines up with dragons and old gods = Titan technology.

Uhm… did people forget about Deathwing? By the end he was basically a cyborg dragon coated with metal plates and whatsoever.

Plus… don’t we have this mechanic dragon mount that’s fairly new? (Edit: okay, fairly new in this case is 2020, so it’s not new at all).

Tinker Dragons are not real, they can’t hurt you.

WAIT Sir

are you saying 10.0 is the Galactic Empire of Space Dragons, seeded on countless worlds by the Titans?!

SPACE DRAGONS?! it's not even NOT canon maybe now i'm scared

And yet you are literally the only person so far to see the logo and decide that swoopy pointy metal bits = titan technology.

not even gonna try to 'leak' but pretend it was, how would you pick it apart?

Pretty good attempt. Looks just like the real shadowlands leak. My tips would be:

• The Tagline wouldn't just be "Journey to EXPANSION NAME" right under the expansion name.
• The blurb is at a 10 when it needs to be more like a 7 with its three exclamation points.
• The picture is some nice vague concept art, but it's too vague: That's literally a picture of nothing. Put the shadow of a dragon in there or something, at the very least.

Is that a trick question? Now we know the the creatures that would eventually become dragons were made by the First Ones, but the Dragons were turned into Dragon Aspects by the Titans, thus "creating" the Dragonflights.

[Teriz]

Uhm… did people forget about Deathwing? By the end he was basically a cyborg dragon coated with metal plates and whatsoever.

Those plates were built by Goblins, as was the Dragon Soul.

Plus… don’t we have this mechanic dragon mount that’s fairly new? (Edit: okay, fairly new in this case is 2020, so it’s not new at all).

We also had its companion pet the Timeless Mechanical Dragonling come out in June of 2021. I would implore people to read the lore behind both of these items. They are….. interesting.

Nothing about titan tech, or titans empowering dragons involves space. It’s all based on Azeroth. Titan technology to imprison the old gods, and them empowering the dragons was all an effort to prevent the old gods from corrupting Azeroth, the sleeping Titan.

I mean Deathwing just incorporated all of the elements: a dragon, corrupted by an Old Gold (aka Void) and enhanced by metallic plates or whatever.

So something related to dragons, void and Titan / engineer stuff isn’t too far off.

Maybe there’s an entire mechanical Dragonflight created by the titans hiding somewhere? Possibilities.

So Dragons + Metal != Titans, then?

Blizzard is a big studio and we have talented and growing teams supporting live games as well. Over the coming weeks, you'll be hearing more on that from Warcraft and Overwatch. Diablo will follow. Stay tuned!

[Valysar]

Let's go to bed then.

[Revamp Man]

Welp

10.0

Can’t say I’m entirely surprised

[Nyel]

Over the coming weeks. Okay, guess that means sometime around mid February. It’s quite fitting though, Guild Wars 2 will get its next expansion by the end of February.

[Foreign Exchange Ztudent]

Well I guess we're waiting for a while then.

[Fahrad Wagner]

Plenty of time to keep the train rolling. Choochoo!

[Catastrophy349]

I predict we will be closer to 2000 pages than to 1000 pages by the time a 10.0 announcement comes out (not an announcement for an announcement...THE announcement).

[Varodoc]

Can he stop playing games and just say the exact day when he is going to announce the new expansion (since only 10 people care about 9.2's release date)? That would be appreciated

[*]The blurb is at a 10 when it needs to be more like a 7 with its three exclamation points.

I agree actually. I tried it with calmer versions and liked it way better, but it didn't match the pattern of following the SL layout mostly. You'll see I did omit one exclamation mark from the "Journey to Dragonmire!" that has it in "Enter The Shadowlands!"

There's some people who'd perhaps then compare them the opposite way, saying "Oh look it's missing some exclamation points, pretty inaccurate. :P " lol, but ty for the tips
