Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Sharby]

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.

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.

[therumblings]

Also goodbye to any doubt we wouldn't hit 2000 pages before the 19th lol

[zeir]

I bet the actual expac only has the dragon isles as a new zone and they are a bunch of disjointed landmasses like in shadowlands (awful), the revamped lordaeron and quelthalas part of the leak is too good to be true.

[Izalla]

Lmao no I get it Im the same way I will spoil anything and everything I can and it's half the fun but there are just some spoilers I wont touch like The Batman I didn't watch anything past the first trailer cause I wanted the mystery so for me I want that fat leak but I totally understand why others wouldn't

My anxiety watching Stranger Things season 1 was THROUGH THE ROOF because if I was watching it by myself I would have paused it to google spoilers for the things giving me anxiety to relieve said anxiety but I was watching with my fiance and he would not let me haul out my phone let alone pause the show D=

[Izalla]

Seconded. Super seconded.

Slap them on that hypetrain haha

[Revamp Man]

ok so next expansion is dragonflight

the leak from months back got the name right but im gonna doubt the microclass garbage

[Catastrophy349]

I predict we will be closer to 2000 pages than to 1000 pages by the time a 10.0 announcement comes out (not an announcement for an announcement...THE announcement).

Pretty accurate if I do say so myself (from 1-25-2022)

[Local Ardenweald Faerie]

Okay, assuming the Dragonflight text leak (the one from Feb, not the website stuff) is fake, what's everyone's hopes?

I'd hope we get a dragon race or class sometime! Like Worgen, let them transform, and then give then let them run/fly in their dragon forms as their racial mount.

Maybe I'm just jaded by the sensitive ppl on the internet these days who have a weird persecution complex..




On topic,


Who do we think is going to narrate the cinematic?


I think it's 85% chance to be Alexstraza. No more Sylvanas monologues thank goodness.

[Three Faced Goddess]

I wish they would do more mail sets like the Nighthold Hunter set. That's like the only hunter Tier Ive liked since idk maybe ever? I love the class but god damn is their armor ass.

You're so right. That one's my favorite too. I also like the elven styled armor, but I'm biased.

I really hope they shake things up instead of rehashing the Legion ideas again. I just really don't want to join a dragon covenant.
