Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Archmage Xaxxas]

Isn't it kind of oversimplifying Azeroth to say that OUR heroes are the only ones apparently capable of defending the planet/people?

Thousands of years existed before our characters, and it's reasonable to say that after we "disappear" or "die", that a new wave of heroes will rise and become just as capable for thousands of years later.

We only became powerful by surviving hardships. So I wonder if even Blizz views the Scourge as a big deal in the modern game-setting? Would new heroes not be made?

Sure we see places like Lakeshire being assaulted by Scourge, but are we really to assume Redridge is about to get the Plaguelands treatment? probably not.

This is the colour of the Ren'dorei. You can expect this expansion to be Ren'dorei-focused.

Purple is the colour associated with the Ren'dorei AKA The Children of the Void.

They aren't the "children of the void". They literally just started using the void.

[Revamp Man]

Not really an empire.



Not really an empire of dragons.



Maybe, but then we should have known something about it. Even with it being "on other side of Azeroth" or "a secret flying continent", we've interacted extensively with the most powerful dragons, and protected the whole world with them. Either the Aspects don't know about them, which is silly, or they've kept it a secret from people they trusted their lives and planet with.

It's not impossible that Blizzard would stretch the lore like that, and it certainly wouldn't be the first time, but it'd be weird to have the brand new massive retcon as the expansion subtitle.

According to in game information the dragon isles is a hidden area that dragons don’t like to give up information about. I’m thinking it will be like zandalar

Their name, Ren'dorei, literally means "Children of the void" in Thalassian. Bit of a big claim I admit but it is what they call themselves.

You do realize this is fake right

Oh boy...

THIS argument...

This is a prime example of people who only seek out things were they can make a winning statement... even if the thing in particular is not accurate and/or completely fabricated.

[TheFirstOnes]

We've hit the pure realm of desperation folks, where we ignore CANON LORE in-universe to fit with the fantasy's of speculators and "fan theorization".

[Polybius]

How was Ashes debunked? There’s been other leaks where the announcement was delayed a week. Worth keeping an eye on the features and 9.2’s ending.

I mean, he is just baiting at this point. Has been for some time.

The next expansion being announced isnt a small thing that players might not necessarily care that much about. It's a massive multimedia event that is given primetime billing in Blizzcon's personal convention.
Something that important would likely be given at least a good week of buildup with a proper announcement just for the stream itself. The announcement as well being a longer format blue post stickied on the launcher, if not a video itself. Even the announcement itself would probably be given some buildup by a developer on twitter as well for that matter.

The Ashes leak is suppsed to be announced on Friday, and even giving it the most leeway imaginable there is no way that is going to happen, at best it might be the pre-announcement.

Yeah I know. Just drawing attention to their logical failing as often as I can.

Woah, you're saying that no one is actually so context-blind as to continuously ignore every statement, both implicit and explicit on the claim that no one is interested in speaking about this incredibly narrow topic 24/7 in relation to everything? You're implying that someone may have to be trying to get a response if they only post complete nonsense contradictory to all reason whilst maintaining as smug as possible of an aura while doing it? You're saying trying to endlessly harangue people with their specific interest to the detriment of all other conversation in such a way that even people such as myself who are on the spectrum can recognize the obvious disregard for all social expectations suggests that someone may be acting in bad faith?

Drawing attention to a logical failing of someone who is trying to broadcast the logical failing deliberately is precisely what they want to happen.

B-but... that means... they are willfully engaging in that dreaded action that begins with the letter "t" ...and that's against the rules here!

[Raetary]

Tbh, i'm confident that the expansion will be primarily themed around Life.
I don't buy anything else.

[Slowpoke is a Gamer]

Please stop posting stuff without sauce.

Get used to it. "I found this on Discord" is the new "Hey did you see this post on 4chan?"

[Nyel]

Thing is, it's awful telling that you're outright assuming we're not, that I'm not. Not very kind actually, rather patronizing behavior. I never doubted the SL logo, and without knowing the name of "Domination" magic, I could recognize it's look from Icecrown.

I'm not speaking from my current perspective.

Patronizing? I‘m just reasoning and aiming to apply the same rules for both the Shadowlands and the Empire of Dragons logo because some clearly don’t. I don’t know what it has to do with kindness, I’m not trying to be rude anyway.

I don’t even know how you can project domination magic from Icecrown onto the Shadowlands logo. That’s just stuff you can assume now because it makes sense. Before Shadowlands official announcement it was just guessing, the same what we try with the Empire of Dragons logo now. If you want to debunk EoD as a fake leak, then do it with strong arguments that make sense. That’s my entire point. This is neither patronizing nor condescending.

Edit: And Wrathion titles himself the Black Prince, after all...

This is so simple yet makes so much sense.

[Slowpoke is a Gamer]

You know what Empire of Dragons is? It's the new Awakenings.

It changes what it is every time it leaks because it's just a name people have latched onto and then they just mad libs the leak below it.

[fazaim]

Vantage point seems off. Like its still floating just above Hillsbrad instead.

This is better idea of what Dalaran would look like from surface level.

Looks great. Where is this from?

What? All Empire of Dragons has is the logo which is floating around for weeks now. The written leak for EoD came just a few days ago and this new announcement thing or whatever for EoD is barely two hours old. That’s just people hopping onto the train and trying to make use of the logo.
