Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Amstrup]

Ye, any type of 10.0 announcement would completely overshadow 9.2.

It could also create hype for wow, and maybe more would come for 9.2.

[Soulwind]

Not seeing as much quality fake logos as for one of the previous, dont remember if bfa or SL

Better?

The WoW Burning Crusade Classic Arena Tournament Day 1 starts in 10 minutes! Happy Friday!

There is no putting that genie back in the bottle. All adding a support focused class would do is make it so anyone that wants to play that cant find groups.

And like I explained: FFXIV uses the same tank/dps/heals trinity as WoW & Dancer is really useful & popular. You can't say "this can't work" when other people have already made it work.

This. This is how hype works & why they usually announce a new expansion before the last patch is released.

They could be waiting, but they *did* add those Pre-order encrypted rewards to 9.1.5, not 9.2, so they can announce it at any time.

Is this from your unborn daughter working at Blizzard? Thank her from me, this is definitely an expansion for me.

There is no lore behind this supposed class. You picked a bunch of Hots heroes and called them an established class.

There is no lore behind Wrathion, Alexstraza, Kalecgos, Chromie, Nefarian, Kairoz, etc. Dragons that can disguise themselves as mortals and have abilities based on their flights?

On the contrary, there is ample lore.

There's no such thing as a Dragonborn, therefore there is no Hero.

Wrathion says hello. He is literally Dragonborne.

[Sondrelk]

Okay but I didn't say Support class: I said Supportive DPS, which has basically vanished but was a thing in this game once upon a time. And Dancer was done extremely well in FFXIV: A DPS that's extremely valuable to their group even if they never top the damage meters.

I feel like the logs & parse obsession is really hurting wow & a new class designed to thwart that would improve the game immensely: That & Instrumental busking. WoW badly needs that too.

What you are describing is a support class.
Obviously it would need to do some damage or it would be impossible to level, but the question is in endgame where there is no such thing as a support class.

And your second point I'd exactly the point of why a bard won't happen. It would require a drastic rethink of how the game functions and is structured to allow it to be implemented painlessly.

[Makabreska]

Wrathion says hello. He is literally Dragonborne.

No, he is not. There is no such thing in WoW. You constantly try to transfer other games/systems classes to WoW, but it is not your place to do so. Unless Bliz officially implements them in to the game, there is no such thing.

And don't say FFXIV is too different from WoW. We all know FFXIV is a wow clone; through & through.

Even if "Dragonborn" was a thing in wow, that's not what how the -borne suffix is used in any fantasy.
Wrathion isn't related to Dragons, he IS a dragon.

The closest wow has to a 'Dragonborn' are the Drakonids and other Dragonspawn.

Nice, will Ulfric Stormcloak be in Stormwind or Ironforge next xpac?

[Zankai27]

Teriz stop making up terms and just use Dragonsworn; having two different ones that are basically the same in execution sounds terrible.

As for a way earlier comment “Dragonsworn are just dragon-flavored Paladins” come again? In what world? Dragons have a much more varied range of powers, and it’s incredibly reductive (as reductive as I’m used to on this site) to say that. It’s like saying DKs are undead-flavored Paladins.

I think? My concept is in my signature now, please check that out and tell me if it just feels like a Paladin.

Y’all need to get off the 4th spec copium and be more accepting of class ideas. Anything can work great if done properly; there’s a lot of uniqueness to explore still. Don’t shoehorn entire class ideas into 4th specs of existing classes. If you want 4th specs, have them be things that only work on that framework

Lol this was like watching an obviously sus gunpowder trail sizzle its way along the track I laid to bust it and Boom! There goes the keg.

Just felt like losing sleep and giving a certain Dragon Prince a makeover.
A little droplet of 'leak' to wet the appetite on this lovely Friday.



And yea that was exactly my inspiration.


Demon Hunter included.

I've got to say, you did a good job with Wrathion. The edit looks like at least a semi-realistic reskin, and I do appreciate your desire to contribute to our speculating. People seem to act offended by fake leaks, but I personally find it useful and amusing to keep the hype train rolling when we've lost our coal.

Agreed! Until we have an announcement of an announcement, better/more “leaks”, or the actual announcement, we need to keep this train rolling! Speculate! Speculate!

If I had known my poor Photoshop skills were going to make me this popular...
