Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[thesilentmajority]

Are people expecting another cinematic from the Mythic Jailer kill? Mythic-only phase?

has he been downed on mythic yet ?

[Ersula]

Are people expecting another cinematic from the Mythic Jailer kill? Mythic-only phase?

Have they ever done that? The last encrypted cinematic is 25 seconds & probably has to do with Pelegos ascending or Sylvanas' trial.

[Varodoc]

Let’s go off tangent and tell you why Void Elves are God’s gift to mankind

I never said this.

I simply said that they are the most valuable addition to the Alliance in the last 18 or so years. The Alliance literally would have fallen disastrously at Lordaeron if it wasn't for the clutch teleport abilities of Alleria and her followers \_(ツ)_/

[Raetary]

No, we would have datamined another encrypted cinematic if that was the case.

And why even would there be one when we already know what happens in the available ending cinematic?

[Sondrelk]

has he been downed on mythic yet ?

Noone has gotten past Anduin, and only two guilds have defeated Halondrus.

Looks like this raid will take a while, which doesn't bode well for the average raiding guild.

[Revamp Man]

You also forgot Vexiona and the Dragon Cult of the Void.

In fact it will be revealed that, much like Wrathion the Black Emperor, the Vexiona we fought in Ny'alotha was actually a Faceless one disguising itself as the Void matriarch. A diversion distracting the heroes from the REAL Vexiona, who is MIA and is leading the Cult of the Void and the Void Dragonflight.

Vexiona is in a prime position to usher in the supremacy of the Void and the whispers in the Dragon Isles. What better way to strike, than when the champions are busy fighting in another dimension entirely?

Pretty sure we looted a dragon though

[KOUNTERPARTS]

you've just given the definition of varodoc

Anything but "cordial" and "polite" that one is

[AOL Instant Messenger]

Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm not a dragonposter myself. I find WoW dragons boring as fuck and I'm glad I was right to immediately say it's fake, but a nu-Cataclysm with dragons as a backdrop like the first one would be appreciated. As would be one that doesn't bother with the Dragons but I doubt we'll have that luck.

Out of curiosity, what expansion would you like? Implicitly, you seem to be suggesting a world revamp.

Are you implying that a successive sequence of for every statement made in complete ignorance is moderately frustrating? That being as smug as realistically possible over the most objectively incorrect comments might exhaust our patience?

Lore confirmed after the race it gets nerfed

The point is the German version cannot be read that way at all. So unless they bungled the translation, you're likely just taking a metaphor to mean more than it does.

What is the exact translation?

[Varodoc]

For now we can remain confident that, if Blizzard wants to bring Vexiona and her Void Dragons back, they'll just use the excuse that it was an illusion/faceless one masquerading all along.

Maybe the player didn't actually loot a dragon, maybe it's what N'Zoth made the player think. Reminder that the raid took place inside N'Zoth's dimension, N'Zoth being a master of illusions and deceit.

These are the same writers who gave no explanation for why the Pillar of Creation was left unguarded in the Tomb of Sargeras and gave no explanation for how Azshara got it btw.

[DiscipleofCazicThule]

The future is bright is hint that the 80's group Timbuk 3 will be the end bosses of the expansion. And because of this, I think it's a hint that the new class will be Bards.

[AOL Instant Messenger]

They have the perfect opportunity to bring back the chromatic dragonflight and invoke Cromatus

If it is a Dragon expansion, likelihood is that Chromatus will be a loot pinata somewhere down the line.

True but for now I’m going with Vex being dead

Void flight is definitely a threat because we know she recruited others

Damn dude the hints for shadowlands on Twitter were essentially that

[Raetary]

I guess theoretically there could be one that shows happens to Azeroth, not just the Jailer.

What happens to Azeroth is part of the fight.

He transports the soul to the Sepulcher, he weakens her further and then tries to dominate her, he fails and then tries to kill her.
Of course we defeat him before that actually happens -> ending cinematic plays.

[AOL Instant Messenger]

This is the best pro-tinker argument. Other arguments need not apply. Half-measures got us void elves instead of high elves, only to basically turn them into high elves anyway. Don't make the same mistake.

What are you talking about? Everybody loves uncomfortable compromises!

- - - Updated - - -

Pandaria and Zandalar I believe.

I'm guessing this is where our next Island Chain continent will be.

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.

Given that they were the one who posted it in the first place and provided a timelapse of drawing it, yes.

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

Unfortunate. That would've been a legitimate implication if it were "bright".

[Syegfryed]

Nah, i doubt that, they prob don't even remember him.

Unless they make the obvious boring "he is now corrupted by the void" bs.

[Triceron]

Uh, I mean that if the next expansion IS related to the steamscale I doubt you would admit that you're wrong.

Just like you didn't admit you were wrong about the Heart of Aspects mount.

The thing is, whether I'm right or wrong, we'd still all lose, because Blizzard would just as likely take a cool theme and run it into the ground with shitty story telling.

There's no winning here. I don't vouch for a Dragon Isles expansion because I want one, because I know it's gonna be in the wrong hands either way. I vouch for it because it's the likeliest scenario right now with the information we have available to us.

We have a datamined drake mount, and we have a potential leaker who correctly revealed Cross Factions and how it would work merely days before Blizzard had. Anything and everything else is either debunked as fake, or is too vague to consider potentially legitimate. These are the only two real tangible pieces of information we have right now that is beyond mere speculation. It doesn't mean Blizzard couldn't pull a total 180 and announce Tinkers of Tinkeria and render your theory true, but I personally don't bet money on baseless speculations like that, just like I never would have bet on your '5 reasons Demon Hunters won't be playable' patterns.

There's nothing special about the Steamscale Incinerator. It was not released at the right moment, right time to be considered a hint at any future expansion. And if a future expansion happens to have tech in it, then the connection would mostly be coincidental more than anything. The theme of technology is pervasive in WoW anyways, and even made its way into a generally non-Tech themed expansion like BFA. It makes sense if you said Steamscale potentially hinted at Mechagon, but to extend it to Expansion 10 or 11 is just stretching it.

Why would they need to corrupt him? He's already fairly villainous.
