Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[ercarp]

Sorry if I'm late, but did anyone catch this in the recent blog post?

Save the date! The future is coming for World of Warcraft on April 19. The WoW dev team is excited to show off what they’ve been working on and where your next adventures in Azeroth will take you!

The future is coming, huh? Sounds like Infinite dragonflight shenanigans to me.

I'm only being semi-serious because there isn't anything else to do besides overanalyze the wording in a blog post.

[Wangming]

I rather think Dragonflight is gonna be their mobile game. That would be funny.

As unlikely as it is, with CE versions, if Dragonflight turned out to be the mobile game, I would laugh my ass off.

I am sure it would spark a good 20 pages of back and forth over a certain t-word. So probably best if it goes unnoticed.

Mobile game with a Collector's Edition... Yeah, that would be a sight to see.

Well the infinite are a possible villain group. Like there aren't many who thematically fit as antagnoists. Chromatus, Murozond, Galakrond. And we are pretty much done. Or yet another villain who wasn't established before.

Because it said our next adventures are in Azeroth? As in, inside it?! Undermine, anyone? Azjol-Nerub? No?

Oh for sure me replacing Danuser has a bigger chance than this. But that's what would make it so funny.

The mobile game wll be warcraft related, WORLD of warcraft is just the MMO

Taiwan? Or Tibet?

The Infinite dragonflight actually makes a shit ton of sense as a big, main story villain. They're meddling with time—which is a pretty big deal. If they can travel through time and fuck everything up, they basically have Azeroth and everyone else clutched firmly in the palm of their hand.

You have to admit that the timing in this case is a bit suspicious given the rapidly falling subscriber numbers, the whole controversy, and the rising popularity and marketing of 14.

"This expansion that is is all about finality and death ending... is an ending."

Ah yes, what a suspicious statement to make. Clearly it's some elaborate reference to another game triggered by corporate strife and fear of falling subscriber numbers, and not a basic comment on what is right there used, not even for the first time, to drum up excitement.

I'm sure most things come across as "suspicious" when you're looking for conspiracies to reinforce some dumb narrative.

I'm not much into mobile gaming but it would be nice if it was actually a good game that wasn't LITTERED with MTX. Just the other day I watched Bellular talk about the lack of Warcraft-related titles outside of WoW, WC3, and Hearthstone.

People love the Warcraft universe and there should be more avenues for exploring it.

snipsnap!

Dragon Isles being a scrapped location/raid from Classic isn't exactly a secret. That's why we're all speculating on it!

Hopefully they do it justice.

I just meant that it was near Quel'Thalas and Lordaeron, which makes sense why we're seeing story play out there and that one leak said the revamps are.... QT and Lordaeron.

Oooh, should've picked up on that context. Durr.

New quests in old zones aren't really a indication of a revamp, but the encrypted Tirisfal stuff, new Hillsbrad skybox, and also the Quel'thalas thing at the same time kinda point at something happening.

I don't really want to put stock on leaks that don't come from Blizzard but that Dragonflight leak (not the name, but the one on here) seems more legit by the day.

Yeah I agree! Things keep mounting up on it's side.

This is all I'm going to reveal. You'll have to wait until the 19th for the rest.

Dragon Isles are not in or around the Eastern Kingdoms. That's a long since scrapped idea from before the game launched. The Dragon Isles will be implemented north of Azshara, and east of Winterspring.

Parts of the world are being revamped, but not in the way you might think. Night Elves will gain a new capitol city in a preexisting zone. Tirisfal is being overhauled. The Undercity is being reconstructed, featuring a new layout and motif. Azuremyst, Bloodmyst, Eversong, Ghostlands, Gilneas, Kezan, and the Lost Isles will all be updated and rolled into their respective continents.

There are no plans to add any new classes to the game going forward at this point in time. New specializations are being experimented with, though. For now, class cosmetics are the focus. New customization options are coming for existing races, particularly the allied races. New potential allied races are also being evaluated, but nothing is concrete and there will be none at launch.

There will not be a level cap increase. This expansion is a trial run for the new "parallel content" model.

Turalyon and Calia were set up to become the stand-in faction leaders for the Humans and Forsaken, respectively. Their stories will be expanded upon in the future, but they are not the focus of 10.0. Anduin AND Sylvanas are currently planned to return in the future.

If someone works at blizzard and gives information like these before a reveal, they are a real piece of sh.. who has no respect for its colleagues
