Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[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?

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

Try to replace "dragonflight" in the URL with a random word and see if it changes the code to match it. Could just be some kind of automated thing (assuming this is even real and I'm not being Late April Fools'd).

Doesn't matter what word you use, Dragonflight always appears in the source code.

What site is that exactly?

I mean... we are pretty sure it is dragons based on totally real leaks. That sounds like a codename to me though.

Looking at the source right now. Where is this located?

[Makorus]

https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-us/dragonflight

Nothing for me???

[Leaker69]

Yeah, couldn't find it either

You need to follow instructions:

https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-us/dragonflight

Does not matter what you put after /en-us/ but just use the link. Hit F12 (or right click) go to source then ctrl+f to search cdn.optimiz that ends with .js then copy that url into a new tab and ctrl+f Dragonflight and you will find it.

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.

[Vakir]

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.

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.

[Deventh]

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

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.
