Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[JDBlou]

has this been psoted here?found it n the reddit thread

This plus this datamined armor pieces: https://twitter.com/keyboardturn/sta...74500748734467, pretty much confirms the art as real.

Agreed, Hunter/Shaman armour is the worst Hunter has 1 real awesome set out of all tiers which was the Legion one, everything else looks garbage.

As a resto shaman, there is not a single shaman set that is themed around water and healing and if they ever did one I feel like they would probably overdo it and make it too gaudy with watery assets anyway. I did like the blue feathers set from Pandaria and used that for a while because the colours reminded me of resto.

OH WAIT JUST A GOD DANG MINUTE

That leak, combined with the armor textures....

Holy crap, everything's just falling into the puzzle just perfectly.

I'll take my Dragonflight expac to go, thank you

[Izalla]

I'm the same. I always find myself obsessively collecting random parts of certain sets just to make a decent looking transmog. I would like an armor set not made from the body parts of my enemies.

Yep, almost every mail transmog set I've put together is a mashup of individual pieces from various questing, dungeon, and least often, tier sets.

Indeed, the pieces discovered are falling into place.

Wow that's a good catch. So this is legit as fuck.

Would love to see this turn into a leak as big as Cata was.

I don't want that at all! There would be nothing to find out at the reveal during peak hype time!

[Hugnomo]

Okay I'm more convinced on the posters now. That texture indeed looks like Alexstrasza's appearance there.

All I'd want to know before the reveal is if there are playable dragons in someway. Drakonids, dragonkin (current races but with dragon stuff added on), I don't care.

I need that finality. I have been waiting for playable dragons for years.

[Izalla]

Yeah that's fair but I'm weird and like spoilers for most everything.

I LOVE spoilers and my fiance hates watching shows and movies with me because a lot of the time I've already looked up spoilers before deciding to watch them. But I have no self control for just not looking at the leaks and datamining and wouldn't be able to stop myself from looking even though in this case I would rather see the reveal.

Am I the only one not putting much stock into Alexstraza's midsection?



"It's such a Blizzard thing to do." Is such a weird take to me, maybe they just decided to give her new armor because her character model is old af and they want to give the aspects a fresh design.

[Revamp Man]

Of course, silly. No one can buy it, yet! Wait until April 19th for pre-purchase!

i mean the source code does have it
i know theres a leak with that name that i definitely dont believe

[Hitei]

Posters definitely look like Bayard Wu's style.

I absolutely love his art. His was my favourite in the chronicles books.

[Three Faced Goddess]

All my Mail characters wear basically quest greens because Mail armor is pretty trash at cap.

Sometimes I feel like they save all the ugly designs for mail classes. There's plenty of fantasy to draw on from both hunters and shaman. Use your imagination Blizzard artists! I know for a fact you have fantastic imaginations and are always carrying WoW, but give us mail wearers love.

Beach hunk Nozdormu and Femboy Kalec. Make it happen Blizz.

Seconded. Super seconded.

To be fair the discussion has been "Blizz would likely do this" and not actual complaints about it. In this thread at least I've only seen nonchalance or actual support for the change because it's just so... inconsequential.

He also did the newest patch key art, would make sense he did this stuff as well.

[Vakir]

Welp, the broader stuff is now down to just being a formality. The bigger question is what the details and features look like.

...if it's just 5 covenants with the 9.1.5 changes baked from the start and pretty zones Imma be sad.

[Therougetitan]

Can we talk about what looks like golden trees at the bottom? Love me some golden autumnal forests. Feel like we've been missing that since the Vale.
