Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Dragons Are Bad Mkay]

Speaking of, are we 100% sure this is new? Does anyone remember what the heritage quests were tagged as in 8.1?



Continent-sized means being comprised of multiple zones and not being a singular zone.

These are the first quests labeled Quel'thalas, and they came after the leak.

[Revamp Man]

Technically you are right. It would be odd to do a story about the Dragonflights and not include their home. But the Isles aren't 100% confirmed. Helll it isn't even confirmed that more than one dragonflight will be present.

That’s the point of it

Just like all races are a part of Azeroth all dragons are…Dragonflight

[ercarp]

My guess of how the map will look given the leak and the datamined info that supports it;

I love concept maps like these, they really get the imagination going (and now I wanna make my own, lol).

I am a bit confused about why Uldaz is in the middle of the ocean though. I always imagined it would be in the center of the Dragon Isles, but that's just my personal headcanon.

And as far as the "leak" goes, I think it actually mentioned that the Dragon Isles would be between Northrend and the Broken Isles. Although where you have placed them would be the canon location I suppose.

He gets a bit too much hate these days - he has toned it down considerably recently. I would love to hear his take on a "micro" Tinker class.

I hope he's unbanned before the reveal, it would suck hard to not be able to shitpost here with the rest of us when April 19 comes about.

Interesting, TY. Definitely seems they are planning on migrating the BE zones to Eastern Kingdoms at the very least. Que'thalas zone has technically always existed in the live version of the game just regulated to the uninstanced areas where Eversong and Ghostlands should be.

At this point, he's a mascot of sorts. Which isn't a knock against him - he personifies the spirit of speculation and overanalysis that fuels the hype thread.

the 2 X are Wyrmrest Temple and the probable Uldaz location because is straight forward the giant path/bridge that connected Wyrmrest with something back then, which was called PATH OF THE TITANS

And connected Ulduar to Wyrmrest Temple and probably Uldaz? and maybe Uldir too


Also that rectangle is the °between Northrend and Broken Isle° unless are flying continent, which is more plausible

I'd still hope that a revamp would also integrate the Maisara Hills

Definitely.

Always bothered me it was in the game manual but never added to the game. I guess they could be lame and just slap an uninstanced version of Zul'Aman there, but lets hope not.

If they ever do Shadow Hunters in any form, that would be a great place to introduce them in.

[Dioporco]

Ok maybe orignally was something like this, all the Ul-compund were connected via the Path of The Titans.


Now Uldaz, if the leak is true, should be in the northen emisphere



edit : forgot uldaman

If the dragon isles aren’t floating in the sky, Blizzadd really missed an fun opportunity.

People are really setting themselves up for disappointment with that text leak if they're basing it off a few easy guesses.

[Syegfryed]

If this book is the one im thinking about, no wonder why it got so much hate, why the fuck children of the horde would hear myths of night elves riding green dragons? who the hell write those kind of shit, children of the horde would hear tales of the dragonmaw

[Dioporco]

Tales od the Dragonmaw would be basically "How to tame your dragon" + "goblin slayer episode 1" so i guess they decide to use a family friendly disney fairy tale.

I truly hope we are all just speculating and not actually expecting them to do any of this. Expectations are premeditated resentments.

[Syegfryed]

read the book

lmao,they will not "address it", the responsibles are all dead, get over it.

It is quite false, jesus the ignorance is truly a bliss

Also to people teasing teriz regarding the tinker in the april fools


Just remember when pandas and happy reaper were jokes plus they put a dragon image too and yet we found out the next expansion name (allegedly)


I mean, wouldnt be strange if blizzard decided to pull a joke on us putting some 10.0 details in the april list

Yeah, I think some folks are really building up expectations off stuff like that and what we will get will be quite different.

[Nyel]

Sorry, but Tinker is way more likely than something like Dragon Knight, Minstrel or Chronomancer. No idea why people find the idea of a Tinker class so strange.

Yep. Partial revamp? Several new classes? Cosmetic class skins? Uhm people who believe that are in for a huge disappointment.

[Raetary]

Those children are growing up on a continent that was for ages dominated by night elves and are thereby basically surrounded by night elven ruins.
They are bound to learn about those stories and legends.
