Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

You need to follow instructions:

Oh shit...

This is legit. I tried it with another URL (https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-us/yeet) and the cdn thing isn't there, but it is for Dragonflight.

Well, it's highly unlikely to be this one: https://www.mmo-champion.com/threads...t-Dragonflight

[ercarp]

It's not showing for me either. Tried both Firefox and Chrome.

I think we're being pranked, guys.

Yeah that sounds pretty bad, lol. And the announcement date is wrong.

LOL that's the one. GG

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.

I'm pretty sure Rift (ded game) had a healer themed around cauterizing wounds. I could see a Red Dragon healing spec being virtually identicial in gameplay. Not to mention we have abilities like Shadow Mend in the game too.

One of their end-game abilities I could see working:




Even though it would be terrible design in WoW, I think the idea of a high-risk/high-reward healer that damages their allies in order to reap big defensive rewards sounds fun and unique. It just wouldn't play very nice in a game where a bad player has the potential to literally kill their entire group via trolling or ignorance.

You need to follow instructions:

Oh damn, it's actually there.

[ercarp]

Is that not just editing the html on the client and then screenshotting it?

I think so. The weird part is that multiple people seem to be in on the joke, kek. But well played, I guess.

It nails the lordaeron revamp, class skins including dark ranger, dragon isles etc. and most importantly the exact expansion name. I think it's legit.

[Soulwind]

Is that not just editing the html on the client and then screenshotting it? Cause you can mess with whatever code on your end doesn't mean it's on their webserver.

This is a genuine question I dont know the answer.

Nope, the .js is a JavaScript file stored on their server, and that shit appears on that file. It also has this URL: https://dragonflight.blizzard.com/ which doesn't go anywhere yet.

And not to toot my own horn or anything, but...

[Constellation]

Oh damn, it's actually there.

It's not there for me on any browsers I've tried so far.

[FatCheeseMan]

I was able to find it on firefox. I just followed those instructions. It was under console. then I found the source under a failed to load error, clicked it, the searched text for dragonflight. I don't know much about that sort of thing, but I was able to find the name. Just like they said.

It's batshit insane enough to at least be kinda interesting.

4 pseudo-classes and housing, woof

[Leaker69]

Still not getting it. But then again, I am computer illiterate. Regardless - this gives you guys nothing you already don't know.

It's actually there though?

I don't know if this link will work given I pulled it from the F12 menu on the WoW site, but, control F for Dragonflight. https://cdn.optimizely.com/js/8520856750.js

Three single-specialization classes? I'm suspicious. Plus, I really doubt we'll get actual Class Skins. Those seem like a far-fetched idea.

[Deventh]

Probably doing it wrong. Multiple people already confirmed it to be true.

[AOL Instant Messenger]

And not to toot my own horn or anything, but...

I suppose "Dragonflight" doesn't sound that hard to swallow as an expansion name. Good guess.

[Makorus]

It's not there for me on any browsers I've tried so far.

Go to https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-us/anything , F11 -> Go Sources -> ctrl+f and search for "cdn.optimiz"

The first result will be a link to a .js link, and that's the one that contains the Dragonflight stuff.

[Deventh]

Why? Class skins is million times easier than a brand new class. All it needs is new animations/theme. Nothing to balance as it's already part of an existing class.

[therumblings]

Wow, that Dragonflight thing is actually real.
