Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Chickat]

As far as I can remember, there has still never, in the history of expansions and leaks, been a single slanted-low-quality-phone-picture that has ever actually been real. Will try and find the source image though.

I guess if one was gonna happen, China would be the place it happened.

Good luck. I couldn't find anything, but I only tried for a few mins.

[Vakir]

I've gotten to the point where I'm pretty convinced you work for Blizzard in some capacity.

Seriously. Bizarrely chipper astroturfing.

[Dragon ANX]

Can anyone translate this? It seems to be circulating Chinese social media, as the source of the leak is a student intern at NetEase who has since been fired.

The logo kinda looks similar to this one, but with "chinese" adaptation if that makes sense

"Freedom is free from the Void Dream Collect new items and fight new creatures, complete new dungeons and Tueras Sleeping Hero is called to protect WANRAFT World of Warcraft new cloth 2022-02-22"

Meh, thanks Google trad

Art style looks familiar to Blizzard, but I'm suspicious. Can anyone try to find the background image? Usually, it's not too difficult to find these things.

[Aeluron Lightsong]

Might look like Blizzard art style for concept art but I doubt it.

World of Warcraft: Scales of Time.
Level cap raised to 70.
New continent: The Dragon Isles.
New system: Accords. Pick your Dragonflight, earn cosmetic rewards and spell effects.
New system: Trial of the Aspects. Torghast lite, vechicle combat and 'fun' trials like the Legion Keg world quest along with boss floors.
New system: Dragon Taming. Tame a whelpling, watch it grow as you progress. Make your own dragon mount.
Covenant abilities turned into a new talent row for your class.

No time skip. No new class. No new races. No world revamp.

Very low effort attempt.

I assume you took that picture from a Chinese social media? If so, can you provide the link?

-snip image-

Running it through a random translate image site gave me this, so nothing.

[Teriz]

Utterly unacceptable.

[Shinrael]

That wow logo looks terrible.

Isn't that kinda the Classic WoW logo ??

Looks boring af then.

Anyone else WANT the Jailer to win (succeed with his plan), even if he loses through defeat/death after? I, for one, would prefer if we don't swoop in and save the day. Furthermore, I always refer back to this line from our Adventure Journal, "Once Azeroth's life force reaches 10% the Jailer will execute Azeroth and unmake all of existence."

I'm curious to know how everyone interprets this line? Personally, I do NOT want this to be a "only if we reach the enrage/fail the dps check" mechanic. I really want this to be how the fight unfolds through to the end of the encounter. Additionally, I don't want some kind of "time-lapse" where the Jailer "executes Azeroth" only for us to restore her immediately.

[KOUNTERPARTS]

At this point we'd better just get Godzilla on Monster Island expansion.

I'll tell you if I want the Jailer to win or not, when you tell me that you work for Blizzard.

I don't want to be dead so no?

So, then, what would you like to happen?

[pacotaco]

Eh, the problem i have with Empire of Dragons is that it is absolutely horrible at being a logo. It feels like every part had a different designer and they never talked with each other about what they're going to do, so it's just a total messed up jumble of things with little rhyme or reason.

It could very well be a proof of concept, but yeah, most likely a fake.
