Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Fahrad Wagner]

Whilst there are aspects(pun not intended) of the alleged Dragonflight leak that I really like; for the most part I would prefer it isn't true.

Purely because I want a full and entire World Revamp, and micro classes feel like a waste to me.

Don't get me wrong, I would love the Dragon Isles, Chromatus, Murozond etc but I would also like a full World Revamp with it.

Cataclysm 2 please, World Revamp AND new zones.

A full world revamp would be the dream, not gonna lie! But I'll settle for a partial one, if I know the rest is coming later on!

None of this makes sense. If they imprisoned him, then he was already put down. If he's unconscious, why can't they kill him? How can you fail at that? Is his skin made out of a material that is uncuttable?

Blizzard makes big and small changes to the lore all the time to fit whatever story they have envisioned in their minds. In 2007, it was also thought that Deathwing was a prisoner of Alexstrasza, but things happened, and a few years later he was trying to barbecue Azeroth.

Also even if Chromatus was dead, it doesn't matter because "dead" characters are brought back all the time in WoW. Illidan and Kael'thas are probably two of the most famous examples. They can do anything they want with Chromatus and at that point whatever is written in Wowpedia won't matter anymore because they'll just come up with some new retcon to fit the bill.

Man, you got really riled up. You can latch onto semantics all you want, but official sources simply state that he is not dead.

Doesn't change that it makes no sense, but you are a literal child incapable of simple thoughts.

You are the guy rolling on the floor and screeching "IT MAKES NO SENSE!!!!" against everyone else.

What do you mean body is magical can't destroy it? It's made up of flesh. Cut it up. Even if the body was made of steel you could destroy it.

Please, read the damn wiki:

It was in this moment that all four Aspects unleashed the a pure white hue which brought Chromatus to fall. [4]

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]

I don't know why people are continuing to engage this guy when it is very clearly a troll attempt. Just move on and don't derail the thread because then people have to trawl through post upon post of people trying to discuss semantics with a guy who is very clearly trolling them.

Micro Classes is a disaster waiting to happen and I don't get why more people aren't pointing it out.

So this is a class with no flexibility, if you want to not DPS with it you have to reroll. That means leveling again, doing the inevitable campaign again, doing the inevitable rep grinds again, doing the inevitable artifact power grind again, and having to re-gear again because none of that is account-wide.

It screams someone who took one look at FF14 and said "their answer is to have a lot of smaller classes" without taking 5 minutes to consider why having lots of smaller classes works, and it works solely because changing from one class to another costs you nothing except time to level and time to gear (and they have numerous ways of making both those costs substantially less too). WoW if you want to change, it's going to cost you so much a lot of people don't even bother anymore.

I've been pointing it out since i heard it.

I'm 99% sure it wont happen though.

[ercarp]

Yeah, I think it's just another interpretation of Alex looks pretty cool imo

Same! She looks much more ferocious. I think earlier Alexstrasza is a bit too Disney/Pixar in comparison. This one on the other hand looks like a dragon that shouldn't be messed with. I just hope her in-game model in 10.0 will match this interpretation.

lol literal shit tier writing

it's not dead, it's just unconscious, but you can't kill it cause magic, so wait til we pull it out of our asses in 10 years so you can put it back to sleep again

I got hit with a 4 day ban or commenting on the Tinker April Fools patch notes, yet this guy will get to keep posting.

16 days can't come soon enough

[Wangming]

@Wangming don't bite back my friend, it's clearly done out of bad faith to irritate the posters of this thread. Let us move on from the sterile debate of whether words actually mean exactly what they mean hehe

Yeah, trolls aren't worth our time. Let's abandon that condom advert and move on to more productive discussions.

When you take gaming lore too serious...

[therumblings]

Something's not quite right, a lot of alt accounts have been made and banned this leak season it makes me question the validity of all of them.

Imagine still using queer as an insult. That reminds me of that one time someone told George Takei that he sucks. And he responded with "And quite well, I am told."

Well, there will be plenty of flaming with....*puts on sunglasses* a dragon expansion.

A full world revamp would be the dream, not gonna lie! But I'll settle for a partial one, if I know the rest is coming later on!

I'll take what I can get at this point with a revamp. I just feel like Blizz absolutely have the capabilities to give us a full world revamp, especially if they have been working on it for years.

People tend to point back at Cataclysm and say a full world revamp can only hinder the rest of the game, but that isn't true because Cataclysm was received pretty favourably up until Dragon Soul, which tarnished its reputation.

I want new zones and revamped old zones. I want a reason to level fresh new characters again. I want those zones to have relevant max level content in them, in both the form of max level campaigns and to interact well with the fresh batch of new zones.

Whilst I would definitely be content with a Dragon Isles expansion complete with a revamped Northern Eastern Kingdoms, I won't be able to help but feel disappointed at the same time because it is definitely in Blizzards capabilities to pull off a full revamp.

I genuinely don't think it's expecting too much.

However, if Dragonflight is a combination of Legion and MoP with SOME small iterations of content from BfA and SL, then I'll be happy. Just not as happy as I could be, ya know?
