Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Vakir]

I mean, not believing the name at this point is just insane. I can understand some doubt surrounding the Alex art.

The full post is just way out there. Micro-classes are so damn weird.

dont buy into the leak posted
same thing happened with shadowlands

we had a shadowlands leak that talked about ghostbuster tinkers and everyone dying and all that but in the end we got nothing

Can't wait to see the dragon tinkers!
Surely the mechanical dragon store mount and pet are both hints to dragon tinkers

[TheramoreIsTheBomb]

will we be getting an earlier announcement since the expansion has been severely leaked? the box art is out too.

[Vakir]

I want them to bring back artifact weapons. I honest to god wish that was the permanent weapon system. An improved version yes but still the same concept. You have your weapon you get to build up but you have plenty of skins to choose from.

The sheer variety, too, if they just built off that. It's not as if you ALWAYS had it reflect the precise weapon type. You had a bow variant for the BM gun. You had Reinhardt's hammer rather than a standard, traditional paladin one for The Silver Hand, etc.

[Izalla]

same, actually. there's no external factors for me, SL just doesn't feel like wow - and BfA did.

I actually feel so bad for Blizz with how much hatred BfA got because to me it felt like their biggest expac effort ever (barring the disappointing element of the wasted N'zoth and Ny'alotha in the last patch). The expac spanning campaign, the extra races, the cinematics, there was so much going on in that expac and if they hadn't squandered N'zoth (yes Varodoc, I know, I feel the same way about it being a misdirect... or I hope for that rather), pissed people off with the Azerite armour stuff that I personally didn't care about, and piss so many people off with the Sylvanas actions/motivations stuff then the rest of the expansion could have had a better chance to shine.

But they found Alex’s new armor textures in the data. The art and the name are pretty much confirmed at this point.

But yeah the “leak” is doubtful due to its alleged content.

Short answer is no.

[Local Ardenweald Faerie]

Caught you before the edit!

Cough 'em up.

Holy fucking crap. That's legendary.

Forgot about that!

I mean, the armor isn't PERFECTLY 1:1 but I was not among the doubters of the art in the first place. But yeah, that makes it even less able to be ignored.

Also @Catastrophy349 assuming you're not kidding around, I was totally just messing. I hope if you're really with Blizzard or whatever that nothing negative comes to you. You haven't said anything out of line here or disclosed anything.

Do you have a link to the new in game armor for Alex?

They still need to provide specific details regarding the announcement: time and place

What do you mean? The art is on Amazon?

stop it right there
we must not summon them

[TheramoreIsTheBomb]

Well Blizzard fucked it up again. And probably on purpose but I feel like I say that every time they do this.

And oh hey every leak thus far was fake, what a surprise.



Honestly Dragonflight fills me with a certain sense of dread. Maybe it's because it feels so much like Shadowlands as a name. Maybe it's the fact putting the spotlight on the Dragonflights reminds me of an idea I had ages ago that "the next covenants will be picking a dragonflight to join." And that makes me fear that Blizz in fact learned nothing from SL and is going to just release "SL but with Dragons."

while it is exciting, i'm still not pre-ordering. there is no point, especially when you cant play the game and also considering how bad SL turned out to be

"Pre-order doesn't mean shit. When you pre-order a game, you're just committing to paying for something that some assholes in California haven't even finished working on yet. You know what you get for pre-ordering a game? A big dick in your mouth."

You'll get your Dragonsworn class/dragon races/whatever a couple of months later but it'll still be fine if everything goes tits up in terms of quality on launch.

agreed, again. even if some of it was purely on paper (war table missions), it did feel like a world war; and we did visit half the world during our usual gameplay. devs once used the word 'adventure' in regards to BfA - it's somehow both laughable and correct at the same time. a strange feeling.
although i didn't play seriously until 8.1.5, so by the time i decided to commit, most prominent issues have been solved.
and yeah, i don't think we'll ever get another 20+ minutes of CGI.

IMO it's a little different with an MMO. If you know you're going to play the game at least 3 or 4 months after an expansion drops, why not pre-order it? It's 100% necessary to continue to progress.

I definitely didn't regret my endwalker preorder lol

Proorder a lot of games, haven't really regretted most of them. Probably because I'm picky about what games I pre-order. If I feel at all iffy (cyberpunk, new world being recent ones), I don't.

i just didnt like the devs telling players they were wrong about stuff and then making a halfass change months later claiming they listened
they abandoned systems after a patch
they did barebones content rewards
the classes were gimped
