Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Ersula]

True, but Blizzard built up Pandaren culture to mirror the Chinese, even down to the names. The lore behind the Blademaster is decidedly not Japanese-based, and is far more shamanistic and tribal.

Shintoism literally comes from shamanistic tradition & tribal animism of ancient japan.

damn we get a bluepost about news and there is no real news in it.

Just a way to announce another play with the blues

New leak:

This is it boiz, my source at MS confirms

[bruxx]

Imagine if 10.0 isn't actually about dragons and Dragon Isles or world revamp, blizz must be shitting their pants hoping they get a good reception on their theme

It'd be so awkward if they mispoke and it's actually not taking place in Azeroth at all

New leak:

wow saved 10/10

I mean grounded doesn't have to mean grounded on Azeroth. Could be grounded on Draenor

[ChairmanKaga]

It was Dragon Isles, Death and Revamped Northrend .

Thank you. Just kept drawing a blank. The best swerve I remember of reality vs speculation was WoD. That seemed completely unanticipated.

[Teriz]

You said that SEF took from the shadow clone ability and that’s one reason along with mage mirror image that makes Blademaster something that would never happen

If that was the case, then I misspoke. SEF came from the Brewmaster ultimate.

This really puts into perspective just how good the Empire of Dragons logo is.

Almost forgot, the first link in my description is a spreadsheat of almost all the 9.0 leaks https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...gid=1758213767

That's what I get for ignoring signatures.

Calling it. War of the ancients, time traveling night elf expansion

That's the only time travel expansion I would be excited for. Even something that happens before the war of the ancients would be interesting. (Maybe even more)
Everything pre sundering would be cool

[Kiivar86]

Speaking of before SL was announced what was the "leak" people were talking about the most on here? Dragon-something is definitely the main vibe this go around but I can't remember during BfA what the focus of speculation was.

The big leaks that I remember people buying into were one Shadowlands one that had a supposed map (I forget all the names of the zones besides one, "Mobarra") and the "ghostly" Stormwind Harbor "cinematic" leak.

There was a fair amount of Shadowlands-centric stuff, leak wise. I link to it a lot but the google doc thing has a helpful column for core themes.

edit: Shadochi's got it in their sig I see.

Calling it. War of the ancients, time traveling night elf expansion

I saw that fake leak earlier saying we go back in time to pre sundering on Azeroth. I would actually be down for that as well.

[wackotaco]

Next expansion is Northern Lordaeron - rebuilt + new zones. Rebuilding undercity/Capital City as neutral hub. New building professions. Scarlet Crusade/Onslaught/Brotherhood and ultimately Galakrond, which leads to Dragon Isles. New class: Necromancer (with SL covenant themed abilities)

[ChairmanKaga]

"ghostly" Stormwind Harbor "cinematic" leak.

That was impressive all things considered.

[AngerFork]

Imagine if 10.0 isn't actually about dragons and Dragon Isles or world revamp, blizz must be shitting their pants hoping they get a good reception on their theme

This is more or less what I'm expecting to happen. I think there was a massive push for Light vs. Void before these dragon/revamp ideas swung into higher gear and/or before the cross-faction stuff became more important which may well be leading to some tension.

[Kiivar86]

That was impressive all things considered.

It was one of the better ones though I doubted it from the get-go, it had some mistakes if you looked closely enough and I doubt anything with such a filter on it since that helps cover up mistakes.

Still, that one I could have seen happening. That fake map of the Shadowlands, no.

[Slowpoke is a Gamer]

damn we get a bluepost about news and there is no real news in it.

I'll take my once a cycle infraction for this.

[TheramoreIsTheBomb]

Calling it. War of the ancients, time traveling night elf expansion

Bro... don't.. don't do that. Don't give me hope.

[Aeluron Lightsong]

Now I don't know whats actually coming or not(Dragons or something cosmic).
