Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

You clearly don't understand anything about how leaks work. Hint: A real leak doesn't require the poster come back and constantly defend it.

Gotta give it to the guy. 99% of leakers post their shit then fly away. Dude is actually sticking to this horrible crap.

you clearly don't understand anything about the process of designing a game

So process of designing the game contains having these horrible, low res pictures with Frankenstein monster type of characters and clearly and shoddily shopped art 18 days before official reveal?

[Local Ardenweald Faerie]

also (as much as I would kill for playable Vrykul) the Vrykul models in that leak are wearing bits and pieces of armor ripped from Sonya's HoTS model as well as the HOTS Leoric Vrykul skin. Clearly fak as all hell

Yeah, there's a ton of Heroes stuff in those photoshops.

Clearly they were used because HOTS died a while back...

I miss Heroes.

[KainneAbsolute]

Talking about Hots and leaks, there was a leak earlier about dragonsworn with dps and tank specs...why not healer? lol Alex in hots has nice healing powers

[Varodoc]

You have to be joking

More than you for sure, although I will concede that that's not saying much.

[Shadochi]

The story revolves around The Nailer, an ancient, immortal pirate forged by the Original Creators. The Nailer's original identity is lost to time, but his nickname was earned for his habit of nailing his victims to the sides of the ships under his command. The Nailer leads a faction of fearsome undead pirates known as The Shadowhands, which he was able to raise and control using the secret lost art of Flagon magic. The Nailer, after having been locked away in slumber deep beneath the sea for over 9,000 years, finally awakes as a result of the attack against Azeroth. The Alliance and Horde must put aside their differences to discover the mysteries of the Flagon Isles, and defeat The Nailer once and for all.

Better villain than the Jailer /thread

But tbh I do hope they come up with a new villain out of the blue, that isn't an existance threatening bad guys but actually wanted to do good. Like with many important figures in the leadership or culture of each faction being away for SL surely new villains would take that opportunity to arise, and pirates make sense since Jaina is the Admiral of one of the biggest Navies and she was MIA on Azeroth

It won't only use polearms, it's just the trademark, like Demon Hunters use warglaives.

And the abbreviation the community can use could be DRK for Dragon Knight and DK for Death Knight.

Some reasons people come up with for why something can't happen don't actually matter as much as people think.

Not saying it won't only use polearms. I'm saying that there's no reason for it to be the trademark, when even DK's "trademark" was watered down, and dragon knights aren't an established thing to have a trademark in the first place. They aren't going to forcibly build an animation kit suited to polearms for a brand new role that, shoehorning it into one weapon type to look decent in combat.

And they aren't going to sit around and go "what's a good name for this dragon class?" "Well we have a whole lot of options, how about the one that's nearly identical to an existing class"

Not a matter of "can't happen", it's a matter of "only an idiot would".

Yeah, I imagine a dragon class would 100% have a healer spec. One of the most important Dragon Aspects is the Aspect of Life itself.

I'm curious what it would look like though. Canonically the breath of the red dragons has healing properties, right? Would be kind of funny to scorch all your party members with happy healing fire.

As long as we unlock Bolvar customization options for getting healed by the fire

Could make it a HoT called [Bolvarized] that swaps their model with Bolvar's until their health hits 100%.

You are literally just copying the shittily shopped 'Living World' leak but just changed Tinkers to 'Dragon Knights'.

Imagine stealing a fake leak for extremely minor attention on the internet. This has to be done with malicious intent.

I've got to say that the original Living World leak, save for the horrendous logo, was pretty well-composed and I do spy a few original assets on the website itself (though they are still too aesthetically-reminiscent of Shadowlands for my tastes), so I've got to give credit for the effort, even if it's not as high-effort as Empire of Dragons was.

I'd say if I had the artistic talent, the first thing I'd try to do is change around the website formatting more. That would make it more convincing—we've never had two identical hype websites for an expansion.

I'd be down for a region inspired by Japan. As much as I hope for Dragon Isles, I'd get a kick out of a place with Japanese flair too.

Pandaren don't really need any redeeming, just love from the writers, but I would really like to see a more samurai, Sengoku-era inspired Pandaren that was hinted at with their first concepts waaaaaay back in the late 90s and early 2000s.

As long as Blizzard wants to work in China, using their favored animal together with anything Japanese is absolutely a no go. I do think however that if they revisited Pandaria, the Jinyu could easily work with a strong Japan theme; they have a lot of potential and imo were fairly underused compared to the Hozen.

The Jinyu would work very well with that, really. They have a look, and their lore is a blank slate as it is. Lots of room for adaptation.

I dunno, though. You're right about the China part, but a faerie can wish.



EDIT: WHY ARE MY IMAGES SO SMALLLLLL, did MMO-C image imbed rules change since the last time I was here?

[pacotaco]

I mean, all it took for Ysera was a stab from a magic stone. And Malygos didn't even need en external influence. Aspects have a terrible track record when it comes to resisting influence and just doing their job in general. And Murozond being a villain is so boring, since it was telegraphed ages ago.

Wasn't she stabbed by a corrupted Tear of Elune?

[Local Ardenweald Faerie]

So I might be completely late to this, but... did anyone here notice that the new Hillsbrad skybox was removed?
