Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[ro9ue]

That would mean we killed Azeroth. Doesn't work.

Maybe Azeroth is supremely wounded so the heart is weakened now.

I hope they announce the time of the announcement soon it is a bit over a week away.

I also hope they stream it on twitch or youtube instead of dropping it on youtube and having to spam refresh at the hour if you were eager to see it. (referring to 9.2 announcement)

What everyone thinks Dragonflight will be:
Dragons, and void, and light, and world revamp and allied races and no factions and-


What it will actually be

The Azshara log in screen joke was done a few pages ago. No need to repeat.

legend says that millenia from now the Azshara login screen will be worshipped, but nobody will know why...

That is what im saying. Light is not good or bad, is just "lawful", a lawful force can be good, neutral or evil depending on many factors(people using it, quantity, how is used...).

And even as lawful good, it can still do evil things/commit atrocities, if they think, in their conception, is good. Thats why i think an expansion with Light as villain is totally ok.

I see wow cosmology like this

Law: Light, Death, Order
Chaos: Void, Fel, Life
Neutral: Reality

Same. The live streams are much more exciting & feel proper for an announcement like this. The 9.2 ZM reveal comparatively felt weak & like they were trying to hide it rather than really talk about it. I would've loved to have a real Q&A where they talked about why the water was actually unique rather than just watching every youtuber mock their quote as something Shamans do already.

I'm also hoping for a decently long presentation, I'd love to see it go for an hour & really go in some sort of depth for everything rather than just a 10 minute brush over without more context.

[Chickat]

I bet both my nuts that Covenant ARs will be announced as a pre-order bonus for 10.0

Can you honey roast them first?

[enak101]

There could be a quest about us using it to undo some of the damage that was done by the Forge of Souls, similar to how we drained Artifact Weapons in Silithus.

Yeah, I'd imagine it would be something like that. Involving either the forge of souls set up and repairing it or something or just the general damage the Jailer did to azeroth in the encounter causing enough issues with the heart, like he severed the connection to our amulets lol, dunno but does still technically need to be dealt with.

[Three Faced Goddess]

Here is to hoping we get some Darkfallen customization for blood elves and night elves.

Hear! Hear!

[Civciv]

I'm tired of "Azeroth is wounded" plot. Let her do something

What it will actually be

That screen remembers me of this video:



I miss these old complaints.

Nowadays complaints are a lot more serious, heavier, and concerning. Like... lore/writing sucks, Alliance is dead, borrowed power is awful, (insert an MMO name here) is better.

[Revamp Man]

Just use the heart to finish healing

[Sharby]

The Heart can still be present without having to be relevant to the plot.

Just make it consistently used out of game but never in game, just like our legendary ring and garrison. Or the Wrathion cape.

Sorry, what? None of those are used in any fashion outside the game.

Also, the question was whether there will be a lore explanation for why it isn't relevant to current content back on Azeroth, where previously, it still worked.

Neutral: Reality

i see deth and arcane as neutral.

See, Arcane is order, order is balance, the true order or balance should be something neutral, not too lawful neither too chaotic. Death is the ultimate neutral thing, you die, you are not lawful neither chaotic, its the only path of action, true neutrality.

Void also is more a lawful force than chaos being opposed to light with their own agenda.

I don't think any of the cosmic forces could be that myopic: For example, Illidan was part of grand masterplan of X'era that started thousands of years ago: But there were still Naaru trying to kill him in TBC. So even these cosmic beings have internal discourse.

[Villager720]

Can't we just say the Jailer's assault on Azeroth's soul weakened her enough that she can no longer spare the strength to power the Heart?

[Alanar]

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?

Her voice is annoying and it makes it less serious, more bubbly like ardenweald. Nothing against it, just that other characters are cooler and less annoying.

Chromie was never interesting or cool looking. What else can we go on with her? And sorry ye gnomes still suck m8.

The jailer weakened all of our hearts not just Azeroth’s, that’s a totally credible explanation lol.

I think he means something more along the lines of death, light, and order being very demanding forces and there’s not much room to shift among them- they follow a strict purpose. Like the light being so fanatical and demanding of its worshipers, and the titans (order) being so helbent on shaping worlds thru their image.

And the other forces pose a lot of room for overlap like void offering you multiple truths and paths, life consuming itself and everything around it if left unchecked. Etc.

Idk, it makes sense in my head I’ve always thought of the forces thru those lenses.
