Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

i miss clones and chi explosion

MoP Classic will be the shit. Especially before the Veil is ruined update goes live.

[Futhark]

Now it's playing like everything else (maybe except Brewmaster).

The idea of a Brewmaster is so cool, but WoW's BM leans too hard on the Monk and too far from the Brew. At least when BM were new I could attack with my staff and never have to do kung-fu moves, but now that the Kick is part of the rotation, the whole vision is ruined for me.

A keg slung underarm is definitely missing.

I think we are just so used to the old polygons and pixels that we don't perceive them as outdated, but with each expansion improving the games graphical quality even that starts to go away.

You don't? I fly around the old world all the time and I absolutely feel things are outdated. Forest zones in WoW absolutely were not created with flight in mind. We were never supposed to come close to the canopy.

I didn't, now i do.
Hence why i'm pointing it out.

Legion brewmaster was amazing
"hey guard is too OP so here are some brews"
*playerbase proceeds to solo tank KJ*
"hey brews are too OP"

10.0 Leak?

Seems believable enough.

You forgot the Ear-rings i mean isnt that a little too much offensive allowing her to wear it?

I don't know what society thinks of horn-rings, to be honest.

[Deventh]

@Soulwind do a prediction about what you think the next expansion will be about.

you were the only one to first guess the name so I have faith in your nostradamus abilities.

lol this is excellent.

Your avatar makes me uneasy. Feels like two faces merged together. Also looks like Lagertha from Vikings. (Not that that's a bad thing).

For those hoping for a world revamp, plus new zones, plus a new class, plus new races, plus more customization, plus housing... I predict... disappointment.

I think a combination of "we heard you" and "we totally don't have the manpower to do much else" will result in a fairly basic expansion without big overarching systems.
They might keep some form of Torghast, with very similar powers and mechanics, just with a different theme (maybe a return to Island Expeditions, in name only), but mostly or entirely for cosmetics.
Similarly, there may be cosmetic covenants with the flights, but sharing stuff like the mission table and any borrowed power they may have, if any.
Races seem more likely than a new class, if only because that skips having to deal with old content. Maybe Allied Races, which require less work and can be introduced in bulk. Class skins would be nice, and relatively low effort, but I don't think they see them as a popular enough feature at the moment.

As for story, probably something a bit more light-hearted, going for a "return to adventure" feeling (that's totally not parroting FF14), about joining forces, healing the world and all that. Xal'atath, Azshara, Galakrond, Chromatus... they all sound as decent single-tier villains for a rather unfocused expansion.

The wonders of technology and an absolute lack of artistic skill.

[Nyel]

You know what really would showcase Blizzard's ambition for the next expansion?

A class with 5 specs. Yes, 5. Each spec representing one of the major Dragonflights.

Oh, and the Dragon Isles as a floating continent in the sky.

Why would somebody merge two faces?

Why would somebody merge two faces?

Why wouldn't someone merge two faces?

Not sure if this is a trick question. Scared to enquire.

Pfhahah never fails to crack me up. It's just perfect.

We are going to get so many interviews in the coming days so I hope some content creator asks Ion if he has seen this image
