Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

Do we know who did it? It was a good logo (except the name)

It was bagina from this very thread.

So I got the newsletter today from Blizzard regarding the next expansion.

It's in italian, but translates literally into "The future of warcraft is Light" ( or bright or enlightened).
Could it be an hint to the next exp?

In german it says "vielversprechend", which translates to "promising"

Not really, he's more arguing that bard is not viable and I'm defending that anything Blizz wants to do is. But, in Teriz' defense, it's all in good faith, we just have different opinions.

Also, EoD logo was debunked

I would have to agree with Teriz here. Why would we get Bards, who only has representation by two NPCs referencing devs, and a joke band, when we could instead get Tinkers, which is a staple in WoW, has several important lore figures as that class, and doesn't require stretching the a cepted definition of Bard as a support class to work?

Seems like a whole lot of effort to squeeze in bard just to say you have it.

I'm not saying we're getting them: I'm saying if Blizzard wants to push this idea, they don't need any justification to do so.
That being said, Tinkers are still to this day the likeliest candidate for a new class imho.

ROFL. If the band gets the joke moniker then I'm not sure what you would give gnomes and goblins and their meme leadership.

Edit: Those zones should be Pandaria and Zandalar?

[Fahrad Wagner]

Just got this mail from Blizzard, which zones are those? :O

Pandaria and Zandalar I believe.

don't get excited

[Hyrja]

Pandaria and Zandalar I believe.

Oh you're right lol

[Makorus]

Look, don't get me wrong, personally, I think the Empire of Dragons logo is fake, but why are we believing Bagina saying that they were the one who faked the logo without any proof whatsoever?

Did I miss something, lol?

I am probably one of the biggest opponents of EoD, but throwing it out the window just because someone said they faked it doesn't mean anything without any proof that they did do it.

They have provided a HD logo and a gif of the process of how they did it. Bagina did that logo, period.

:P

Here it is for reference.

Yes.

Okay, well that's okay then. I skimmed through some pages, but most of it was just the same old drivel about store mounts and what not.

Carry on!

[Fahrad Wagner]

So do we all agree the only plausible leak left is AoG? Or am I missing anything?

They could have easily faked the animated gif. Worked backwards erasing shit and whatnot.

That is some damn fine trolling he did there. I am not ashamed to say I was willing to believe it was real.
(Not that I necessarily believed it, because let's face it, the odds of finding the real leak is almost nonexistent.)

I still refuse to believe that Blizzard would allow such a cumbersome title through, or for that matter that they would just copy the name Galapagos in stark contrast to previous habits.

therewillbedragons has been debunked?

to me, it was the only one plausible, Galakaros is gone unfortunately

therewillbedragons confirmed he made it up. The crossfaction stuff lining up was just pure luck.

Stark contrast to previous habits? I mean, they're usually original-ish when it comes to places names (emphasis on the ISH), but they already straight out copied stuff from the scandinavian mythology so... Galakaros is not unthinkable. Especially if the inspiration for the place already was that exotic Galapagos vibes and someone noticed that Galakrond and Galapagos share a few letters... I don't know, for me the name doesn't sound that bad. Is it a model of originality and creativity? Clearly not. But I don't think it's terrible (although, I'm not a native English speaker, so maybe there is some aspect I don't perceive here, but for me it's rather catchy and easy to say).

AH! I missed that information! So back to square one
