Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Throren]

Honestly the dragon I end up liking the most are almost all the flights except the main ones. Basic *X primary colour* dragons tend to be kinda...boring/simple

The Nether dragons and the more norse inspired Storm Dragons of the Broken Isles I find are much cooler than the basic dragons. Maybe thats also cause they dont spend every minute with you disguised as an elf.

I think Nozdormu is the coolest aspect. I love bronze dragonflight

Also when he got his model back in Cataclysm, people mostly photoshoped him as Mark Wahlberg as an underwear model.

So I guess we can expect desert zone, winter zone, lush forest zone, green plains zone, vulcanic zone + maybe something connected to villain. And hopefully they'll find spot for some 'city' area like Suramar, Zuldazar and Revendreth.

Also Seven is much cooler than Five.

I'd really love a Titan facility city. Like Ulduar only a city.

I am not sure they would do that with their more modern design. Typically they seem to like to design zones that easily transition into one another rather than those abrupt transitions like in Outland. I guess they could get around that with making each zone a different island but yeesh. I hope not.

Shadowlands has literally most diverse zones in any WoW expansion. I can't see what's the difference if zones would be connected or not. Especially since it will be some unknown magical land of dragons, not something really down to earth (using Azeroth standards) like Kul Tiras.

[Deventh]

Thinking about the Dragonflight "leak", which mentions 2 revamped zones. Honestly, there are dozens of zones in EK and KA. Their strategy can't possibly be to do two of them every 2 or 4 years. It would take decades to even approach an Azeroth which is somewhat coherent in its environment design. I doubt Blizzard wants a reality where neighbouring zones look crap compared to the new ones, new features like World Quests don't fit in all the zones, etc.

It makes me think the leak is fake.

Lol. Considering today's Blizzard and how much content they release 2 zones sums it up.

One can only hope that Chromie won't be a prominent character in Dragonflight.

[SniperCT]

He's also wrong on Murozond. Yes, we killed him... so Nozdormu now has to fall or we'll have a paradox. He actually needs to appear, storywise.

Unless it's split timelines. My favorite style of time travel is how the x-men did it in the comics.

You prevent event A. But in your timeline event A still happens. But by preventing event A, you've now created a timeline where event A never happened. There's not a paradox because your timeline still exists. It's like going back to kill your grandfather, all you did was make a timeline where he dies but the one he lives in still exists.

Aka in the comics, we eventually discover the Days of Future Past timeline that Rachel Grey came from still exists, despite kitty preventing it for the 'main' timeline.

I never understand where this "but Murozond HAS to come back!" thing is coming from.

We killed him, and even then, the event that made Nozdormu turn into him never occurred in our universe.

Which would also track with the way I look at it above lol but if they are going with the fixed point in time thing, then it's inevitable and the question is now 'when' not 'if' and also 'how'

Do people hate Chromie now?

Because they'd never add a temporal paradox as an allied race, right?

[Fartlas]

Oh god the fanart for this expansion is gonna get weird isn't it?

Alexstrasza art is already weird you just have to know where to look.

Nothing in particular against the character itself, they're pretty one note with nothing extraordinary or noteworthy about them. They're pretty neutral in terms of impact, and characterisation.

My issue is with the fascination with the character that a portion of the player base seem to have with Chromie. It comes across as borderline simping at times, and I find that pretty unsettling when the character has both the appearance and the personality of a child.

I'd rather have Nozdormu and his son as the main prominent Bronze Dragonflight characters next expansion. Soridormi too, give some of the more neglected characters the spotlight.

She's the ambassador of the Bronze Dragonflight.
If the bronze are involved, she will show up.

Besides, what's the issue?
Chromie is fun and likable.

Is it because she's a gnome? Are people really still stuck on the hating gnomes thing?

Nothing wrong with Chromie being a Gnome. Some Gnome's are fun characters, like Mekkatorque etc. Kelsey is pretty cool too.

I just think there's a fascination with Chromie as a character, that comes across on the forums, reddit, in game etc as a bit dodgy is all.

Also, being the ambassador for that flight doesn't mean they must make an appearance. We never saw Ignatius(Green Dragonflight ambassador) and some of the other amabassadors for the their respective flights since they were present at Wyrmrest in Wrath.

Chromie is like the one gnome I *don't* want to punt on sight.

[Santandame]

While I share your disdain for Chromie as a character, you can bet on her showing up in a prominent role in a dragon related expansion. And I'm not convinced she is a pure, benevolent character.

Sadly, I too see her showing up. I wouldn't say I'm particularly disdainful of the character, just moreso find a certain portion of the fanbases fascination with the character as a bit suspect.

Hard disagree on her not being a benevolent character though. She's sort of rammed down our throat compared to other Dragon characters, and she's tied to the revamped levelling - so I don't see her being hit with the villain bat.

Chromie will 100% be relevant if the story Deaths of Chromie scenario is at all relevant. Ion said in an interview with Jesse Cox/Wowcrendor way back when it came out that it was a hint for a future expac.

I personally dislike gnomes (or uh, characters that have a gnome as their preferred humanoid form) and haven't seen any of this weird Chromie fanbase but maybe I don't go to the right corners of the internet

It's because she is not a gnome!

Just recently there was a post on the WoW subreddit about simping for Alextrasza and Tyrande's delts. One of the top voted comments was preferring to simp for Chromie instead. Unfortunately, they exist.

I love how we try to pretend that we don't know why people hate Chromie
