Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Shinrael]

That wow logo looks terrible.

Isn't that kinda the Classic WoW logo ??

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

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.

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?

[Catastrophy349]

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.

[Shadochi]

Didn't do us much harm when we canonically died during Legion (Argus fight)

[Aeluron Lightsong]

Preferably something like Legion or Wod where it leads into the next expansion.

Jailer winning would have nobody intervening on our behalf and reality rules are rewritten. So no.

Elune could pop in to save us tbh. Or even a reverse stream of Azeroth backfiring through the beam as a last effort to help her heal in the future

RIP leak, that was fast kkkk

[Chickat]

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.

WoW its another bare minimum expansion. Hope its not this.

Shadowlands is on sale for 50% until march 9th. Whenever they announce an expac its purchasable right away and the previous one merges into the subscription game. Could this mean that there will be no announcement until atleast march 9th?

It was predictable that it would be at the earliest, the week after the last boss of the raid unlocks. So yeah, probably March 15th.

If Azeroth dies then the lore is unsalvageable. It's already pretty unsalvageable but this would seal it.

I wouldn’t be surprised if they had both a new race and class for 10.0.
I don’t think we’re getting dragons, but instead we’re probably getting Drakonids. (I can’t post images but they’re the big humanoid dragon people we’ve seen since Vanilla)

I mainly believe this because blizzard has wanted this race in since Vanilla (there’s even concept art from Vanilla showing what they’d look like as a playable race), and nearly added them in Cata but didn’t have answers regarding their backstory at the time so they did not. But with a dragon centered xpac again they would have the chance.
There is art from Hearthstone (released during SL) showing what a female drakonid looks like.

Customization could easily be: what thefins look like on the sides of their head, scars, tattoos/war paint, faces, scale colors to match the dragon flights, tail length, jewelry, etc.

Could even technically have another humanoid form you could customize which people want for a dragon race, and here’s evidence of that happening in lore already:
There also have been two times that I have seen where Drakonids have had other humanoid forms. (Shadow moon Valley, Outland, and Creed from the rogue legendary quest in cata)


Onto the class I can only see either of the two:
1. A tinker class. It’s the only class from WC3 that hasn’t been added yet, and they’re already set up enough in-game and have specs fleshed out via island teams. They could be tied into the game via some Titan technology being discovered on the Dragon Isles that’ll empower the dragonflights once again. (With the main storyline being us trying to stop some big bad dragons from getting access to it)

2. Dragonsworn class to go with the Drakonids. (Might even be restricted solely to drakonids.) I doubt this one would come in only because all the dragonflights already have representation in the current classes we have, unless we took abilities away from classes to give to dragonsworn. (Dragon roar from Warrior, Alter Time/Time Warp & dragon’s breath from mage, etc)

[Aeluron Lightsong]

Well thats melodramatic and..well not correct.(Not about the leak)
