Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Fahrad Wagner]

I think the problem isn't with the lack of establishment for Chromatus. The problem is that he is a kindergarten logic monster. You say dragons are cool? Well my monster is five dragons. Bet you can't top that.

They can easily build him up/make him more interesting by infusing the essence of Galakrond inside him. I kind of like the idea of five crazy dragonheads threatening us all at once

[Throren]

Ok so apparently Chromatus is dead. Why would he be a threat?

Chromatus is indestructible and the Aspects couldn't truly destroy his body. All they could do was lock it away in suspended animation hoping nobody wakes him up again.

I'm also unsure how micro classes would work, how would you level as a class with only a healing spec?

I have long yearned for a "return to basics" expansion of a fun fantasy adventure, so yes, a Five-Headed Dragon, classic staple of DnD, Yu-Gi-Oh, etc. would be great fun.

Everytime I visit this forum I'm so sad to not have this as a real emoji. It's so smug.

It's still my favourite after all these years!

What happened? Why is Dragonflight fake? Not that I wouldn't mind if it were

[Feali]

I mean if the tech wasn't there it wasn't there. You can't just say throw more money at something that the engine was incapable of doing at the time.

Blizzard and bad engines is a whole nother topic though

I'm also unsure how micro classes would work, how would you level as a class with only a healing spec?

Make a spell that doubles as either damage for ennemy targets or healing for friendly ones and voilà, allows the healing specs to level up. That, or you give them a few damage dealing spells in the bunch.

[Dragon Knight]

He still isn't dead. Just imprisoned.

He's dead and imprisoned.

It was later rendered inanimate by the united powers of the Dragon Aspects, and its body was stored in an arcane prison.

I mean, the other singular dragon threat is Galakrond but that one isn't any better.
"Your monster is a big dragon? Well, MY monster is a MEGA BIG DRAGON that eats OTHER dragons!"

It's not.

1. Name is not fake.
2. Art + logo is still being discussed, but evidence points to it being genuine.
3. Forum leak Dragonflight is being discussed, people over here are split on the question.

I'm also unsure how micro classes would work, how would you level as a class with only a healing spec?

Could just start them at level cap and require a level 60 char to create, or I think leveling is easy enough you could just use the few offensive spells they'd probably have.

[Feali]

Maybe it's something like a specialization you can choose at max level. In a way, it's end game progression. Since the leak mentions we don't get a new level cap, that might be a way.

God that sounds like awesome class design. Definitely beats making a proper class with several specs.

Inanimate doesn't mean you're dead. I could knock a void elf with a shovel, I'd make him inanimate with killing them. See?

Wait there was art and a logo?

[Dragon Knight]

"Concerned that some other dark power might try to revive Chromatus after its defeat, the dragons attempted to destroy the corpse. They failed. Some powerful spell, probably woven into the dark marriage of magic and technology that had animated him in the first place protected the body from all their efforts to obliterate it. Kalecgos stated that Malygos created a number of Arcane Prisons during the Nexus War, and Alexstrasza decided that representatives from all the flights would watch over the body of Chromatus, as he is not dead.[5]"

It also says that

Concerned that some other dark power might try to revive Chromatus

You can't revive something that isn't dead.

Once again - look at the bottom just before Description:

"as he is not dead.[5]"

[Revamp Man]

His body couldn’t be destroyed so it was sealed away
Azerite is something that could easily be used to revive him

[Fahrad Wagner]

I mean, it's not the way I'd go for it, but I understand the appeal and it would also allow them to introduce more concepts as classes without being "bound" to come up with 2+ specs for those.
