Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Sharby]

Well this is a pretty huge deal, we thinking new class or no?

New class seems more popular.



Class Skins seems more practical.





All depends on whether or not Blizzard wants the short-term or long-term.

[Makorus]

I don't think the actual text leak is real, because Dragonflight is generic enough of a name where it could just be a lucky guess

[Hugnomo]

Just tried the link and yeah, I'm seeing it too.

If we go by this forum, class skins were more popular than 4th specs or new classes, if I recall correctly. But yeah, I assume for the average player, something brand new is more attractive.

This is probably true, the fact that the name got leaked is pretty amazing this far out from the announcement.

One has to wonder how long has that code been there.

Dropping the link again in case people missed it: https://cdn.optimizely.com/js/8520856750.js

It's real, folks.

One has to wonder how it was found to begin with

That is the odd thing about this. I'm not quite sure how someone had come across this at all.

I'm not surprised it was found, leak hunters have been scouring files and text everywhere for years.

The way BFA was found was brute forcing popular leak names in the URL.

I'm not surprised one would look at the Dragonflight leak and try that.

[Marlamin]

Solid oops moment right there

Pretty much monkeys and typewriters. Thousands of people spamming commands eventually hit the requirements to finish a Pokemon game. Some monkey at the right time with the right typewriter found it and happened to frequent this thread.

I mean, there are Discord servers dedicated to finding secret mounts and pets in the game. This doesn't seem that extreme in comparison to some of the stuff they've dug out.

A solid talent revamp could allow the existing specs to have multiple playstyles and also better accommodate class skins.

[Imotbh]

I don't think they will ever do 4 single-spec classes just like I don't think they would ever add a 4th spec to existing classes. Blizzard is a creature of habits and this kind of thing goes too far away from what they'd usually do. Most of the time, fans/players have good imagination and they often go beyond what we end up having. At the end of the day, Blizzard always take the easiest, simplest and most straightforward route.

For anyone still unable to see the leak, I made a short guide that should get you there if you're like me and couldn't see the .js in the sidebar:



EDIT: Missed one important bit, you obviously have to press F12 on the site before Step 2 to open the Page inspector lol.

Didn't realize leak-finders were thorough and numerous enough to accomplish that.

[Hugnomo]

Yeah it seems like the most plausible is just that every "leak" name was tried until someone found this one. I don't believe the leak is real, but based on possible themes and story of the next expansion, it's not that impossible to guess the name among the dozens of fake leaks.

We're all so fucking bored.
