Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[deviantcultist]

I also think the title Dragonflight could allude to flight being a central feature of the expansion, with flying available very early on, and zones designed around flying mounts.

My gut feeling was that this might be the case with the next expansion, for a few reasons (including the CE mount possibly being a drake) but the title kinda clinches it IMO. I think we’ll be flying around on dragons early and often in 10.0.

What if they give a borrowed power that allows players to transform into Dragons for the whole of the expansion? The reverse of what Dragons do all along.

[draugril]

No he throws up

I believe the technical term is "yarp."

That'd lead to some very cluttered raid encounters.

Thank you. A lot of people ignore this and say Void Lords or some shit. But the Void, Death and Fel are all parts of the cosmos and whatever scared Zovaal is external to the cosmos. Something else.

The Void Lords got misunderstood as the biggest bad because initially they were before Chronicle got relegated to being Watsonian.

That being said, in the very long run it might work out better. Saying there's six primal forces but that only one is the worst and most dangerous robs it of nuance and this way the narrative becomes more about coexisting of differing ideologies against something more explicitly existential. Now you can explain it that SARGERAS just feared the Void most the same way that the Void feared seemingly Death most from the Windrunner comic and the whispers.

Hmm... everyones' feeling pretty confident about the whole Dragonflight Covenants thing...

Are you sure it's not going to be the old Dalaran order halls amidst a Dragon War?

Alexstrasza has been hiding her corrupted whelps from being destroyed. And I'm fairly certain she gave her sister Ysera a corrupted flower that she planted in the Emerald Dream, which gave us the Emerald Nightmare. (Exhibit A1 and A2)

We know of Nozdormu's fate as Murozond. We also know someone tried to kill Chromie during Legion. (Exhibit B)


Sources:

Exhibit A1

Sinestra was underground when we fought her. Stands to reason that her eggs are, too. Not sure where you're getting this nonsense idea from that it was Alex.

Same goes for the Nightmare: We know it's the Old Gods doing. There's no reason to assume it involved Alex or Ysera in any way.

We know about Nozdormu, but it appears the Infinite are acting entirely seperate from the Void, with unclear goals.

How about

Battle for Outland
Battle for Northrend
Battle for Azeroth
Battle for Pandaria
Battle for Draenor
Battle for Argus (but mostly for Azeroth)
Battle for Sylvanas
Battle for the Shadowlands
Battle for the Dragon Isles

I'll do you one better

Legion

Leg---wait

That'd lead to some very cluttered raid encounters.

You'd just have to Katamari the camera far enough that you can barely tell you are a dragon in the first place. And bosses would have to be bigger, of course.

Only way i can see that happen is if they completely redesign the flying mechanics.

[draugril]

They will all fuse together into white dragons, mark my words. Ivory Dragonflight.

Everything else aside, I would legitimately love it if whatever the resolution of this expansion is results in the creation of the metallic dragonflights in WoW. They've been conspicuously absent.

[Blayze]

They've been conspicuously absent.

Aside from, y'know, bronze.

Probably because WotC would sue the shit out of Blizzard.

[Alanar]

I hate to keep reposting this but here it is:

I would say alliance rangers: night elves and humans. Void elves dont have anything to do with it.

We already have mounts that make you a dragon.. such a sandstone and leggy mount.

[draugril]

Aside from, y'know, bronze.

Are they bronze, though? I always thought they went with that term because "Yellow Dragonflight" or "Orange Dragonflight" don't roll off of the tongue all that well. They certainly don't look metallic.

Probably because WotC would sue the shit out of Blizzard.

They're practically a trope at this point.

Yeah I think you're right.

So long as they are legally distinct enough it should be fine.

I mean, we have beholders in the game which is another creature WotC tend to be very sue-happy about.
