Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Catastrophy349]

I had a feeling they were gonna do something today when he said not to break anything.

Hehehehehe

[Sondrelk]

I don't know that it's due to the intricacies of the armor. Other games with dyes have similarly intricate armor, they just limit what can be dyed. But you do bring up a good point with how unnecessarily complex it would be for a team that goes out of their way to ensure a lot of transmog options are blocked by default.


Oooo! Flying apartments!

Well it can be done, but as has been stated before, this requires specifically designing armor in such a way that dyes can be applied properly. And in the case of WoW this would most likely at best be a side grade, if not a downright downgrade given the many different contrasting colours armor sets have.

Though in thinking about it I guess it's possible to have a happy medium with the best if both worlds. The current recolours only applies to some elements like gems or glow effects, and dyes is applied to the "main" part of the armor.


Though that being said I still can't see it really working.

Zorbrix took a day off of work today, so I don't know.

It'll likely drop tonight, it was already shipped just isn't properly out yet. Seemingly small build.

Yeah, very small build.

And there it is.

[Fiercelord]

Can someone say is it bigger compared to the last one?

[Syegfryed]

seems like we will pass 2000 pages, thanks dragonflight logo for the boost.

[Lady Atia]

Anything new besides the renown catch-up change on tonights PTR?

[Revamp Man]

so i think an undocumented change today was they put in the pocopoc stuff that has been missing because i finally got a new color scheme after the first couple

[huth]

They will have to update the Cata-era backgrounds eventually.

That's art team, not UI, though.

[DiscipleofCazicThule]

I imagine the next couple PTR updates will be similar until the expansion announcement. Gotta keep your cards close to your chest and all that.

Probably so, no real reason to push to much out more to PTR & risk spoiling more at this point. Though on or after the 19th, I suspect we'll see the flood gates open a bit more.

Jack Nicholson meme...Yes. YEs. YES!

Yeah, maybe not my best meme, but that happens when you spend only a minute or two on imgflip.

The HYPE is real! Only 2 more weeks! Let's hope for a BIG announcement with LOTS to talk about and, of course, to speculate on.

You know what's frustrating? The amount of HYPE we all felt when the Bolvar/Lich King still photo leaked ONE WEEK from Blizzcon 2019. Instead, he had very little to no relevance in the expansion overall. I REALLY hope they don't ruin another character(s) in the Dragonflight cinematic. Please be good!

Bring me a reclaimed Gilneas and I'll stay subbed forever.

I mean, shouldn't you know?

If it's actually really promising, it's gonna be a painfully long wait to the expansion release sometime around Q1-Q2 of next year. There are already so many games and TV shows I'm waiting for right now and they're all mostly happening at the very end of 2022, so 10.0 would be the longest wait. Hopefully we get Wrath Classic before that to keep us busy.

Dragonsongflight is the name, there was a logo/key art leak that I'm still torn on, apparently someone "leaked" the "cinematic" but it's probably bogus, micro-class leak but that's guaranteed fake unless they're taking all "endgame systems" and making them account-wide.

Honestly I'm just waiting for leaks to catch up to Dragonflight enough that people start throwing in why we should care. Because we all know the Aspects aren't turning evil so why are we going to the Dragon Isles if not to kill them?

Because Xal'atath is going there to finish the job on Azeroth or something vague like that. Thats all the reason we need.

What reason did we have to go to Pandaria? We don't need a compelling reason if the content and story is good. MoP story was simple and basic but good. Shadowlands was convoluted and bad. We want more simple basic stories.

- - - Updated - - -

Maybe it's the years of speculation but Murozond and the Infinite feels... hollow to me.

I always assumed if we delt with them again it'd be through an Ancient Kalimdor expansion. Or, y'know, anything time-themed at all.

Could see them being involved but I don't think they're our next Jailer/Sylvanas/N'Zoth/Sargeras/Gul'dan/Garrosh...

Still, it is better than a lot of the "It's a world revamp and dragons are there because we needed a new location" leaks.

Whats wrong with a back to basics story?
