Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

30 pages in a few hours? something new came up?

*looks to the left*

*looks to the right*

Absolutely nothing.

I wonder whether we might get more allied races. Probably not for the covenant ones since they would be difficult to implement outside being faction neutral, but generally those races who players wanted from BfA like Ankoan or Rexxar ogre (whatever they were called).
Blizzard seemed adamant they were a BfA only feature, but it was also one of their most beloved features in that expac, and was definitely one of those amazing returns on investment given how much time a givne player would spend simply levelling a new alt.

Stormwind and Orgrimmar definitely need more visual updates. Really the entire old world needs a fresh coat of paint to hide the older attempts at pseudo-cartoony artstyle in favor of the version that really solidified in the last patch of MoP.

I feel like there's definitely an upper limit before allied races become ridiculous in number and we're already pretty close to that number.

That's true, but for that matter there is a similar upper limit on regular races, and we should still get more when appropriate.

Really I just want to play a murloc samurai. I absolutely hated having to see my screen filled with trashgnomes instead of the glorious Ankoan.

I'd prefer they do the Charr routes, honestly.

Nah we have enough furry races

I-I think you completely missed the point of their post.

[SniperCT]

I meant as an example of male and female differences being more than 'titties lol'

Note the female on the right is relatively similar to the male on the left, and they use some size differences and other more subtle things to differentiate the genders.

I'd want that for a dragon race. And we SHOULD have gotten something like this with the Worgen.

[DiscipleofCazicThule]

If we get a dragon adjacent race, I imagine it will depend on their origin to see what they will look like. If they're born or hatched as dragonkin the dimorphism should be like the Sethrak, the Iksar from EQ, or the Dragonborn from DnD. If they're Drakonid, then that means they were originally humanoids and it would make sense that they're more...erm...mammalian in features.

I saw like 3 system designers from WoW team hyping tweet reveal, so I guess we can expect some new system-type-thing in new expansion. But i guess that's expected either way. I hope they improve and iterate over group finder feature more.

You know I just had a thought.

Heavy systems design.
Massive profession related project.
Alliance housing and building related assets being updated for no reason.

Housing confirmed?

Could be any number of things really.

Archaeology revamp.
New Open World questing system.
Improvements to Timewalking.
Torghast 2.0

[ercarp]

I have all sigs turned off myself, lol I can't see anyone's!

Didn't know that was also a possibility.

[therumblings]

2100 soon. I wonder how much farther we can go with 5 and a half days left.

[ChairmanKaga]

If there is a dragonkin race of some type I'd want it even less dimorphic than that Charr image considering their reptilianish origins. Coloring and maybe body size difference.

[Chickat]

Season 4 would be the short one

Again I’m not saying it’s not possible but I don’t see a November release even with prepatch because just looking at what that means for testing that’s barely 7 months

- - - Updated - - -



That would be awesome
Like every tier has the mega dungeons added to the regular pool

I feel like December prepatch is possible with a Jan release date. I still think its going to be Feb and March but we shall see.

[Merryck]

2222 before the big reveal.

[SniperCT]

Yep, you can disable avatars and images too if you wanted

[Hitei]

What can even be done about the sword though? It's been conclusively stated to not be a problem as of this moment.
At most I can see it becoming a sort of landmark source of power, rather than a constant problem we need to keep worrying about in the background.

Doesn't need to be a problem (temporary or otherwise) to be an active piece of the region. It could be as simple as the Cenarian forces (or whoever decides to take over Silithus) using it as a support structure to build a new tower in the middle of the zone, wrapped around the blade as a pillar.

I'm surprised it isn't composed of some prized metal/material since it was manifested by Sarg to slice through planets. One would think they would be trying to cut it into pieces.

They might be, we don't really know for sure since there haven't been any zone updates or new stories about the/in the area

[Teriz]

Off topic but I need to know more. Link please?

Sorry, just saw this. Here you go;

[Catastrophy349]

The next 5 days will certainly be interesting. This is my FIRST "leak" season. I have enjoyed the ride, thus far.
