Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Grimbold21]

I kinda wanna know where these are from but I have a feeling the answer might go against forum rules.

I already mentioned before that if people want tinkers they can go to the private server(s).

[Revamp Man]

Nope, just Legion, he is trying to be relevant since then with obvious guesses that everyone knew about already, tried to leak bfa and shadowlands but he was wrong.

He got a lot wrong with legion too
The only thing he got right was illidan being there and demon hunters

It's not completely moot since the main dragonflights represented by Aspects come up to just five. They're the most important ones as the Titans chose them to be empowered with all kinds of powers and charged them with safeguarding Azeroth.

The other dragonflights we know of are either alterations of the core five flights or minor/irrelevant and not gifted with any special powers:

- Infinites are an alteration of the Bronze dragonflight.
- Netherdrakes are an alteration of the Black dragonflight.
- Chromatic dragons were created by combining the blood of the 5 core flights.
- Twilight dragons were created from Netherdrakes (and some other stuff), which goes back to the Black dragonflight.
- Void dragons were created from Twilight dragons by N'Zoth, which also goes back to the Black dragonflight.
- Stormheim storm dragons are irrelevant/minor and nobody knows where the hell they came from.

Twilight drakes were created from red and black drake eggs empowered by netherdrake magic/power.

Storm dragons likely, are just like the elemental drakes we had before, you know, stone drake and old storm ones.




we had 4 stone and 4 stormdrakes, hope we can get 4 fire and 4 water drakes later.

something interesting from the PTR

The Winter Queen will give us as a gift the seed for the new Teldrassil.

My kudos for a cinematics that will show Ysera and the Winter Queen give to us the seed... with the emotional moment where for a while, through the Emerald Dream, mother and daughter will be able to see each other.

It remains to be clarified if the seed needs the Aspect's blessing, in which case there is a little problem to be solved first... unless Elune decides otherwise.

Could be cool if we can see Elune and all the Dragon Aspects blessing the new World Tree... as conclusion of Shadowlands.

[Grimbold21]

You guys know what would be fun - but ultimately impossible - with systems like Covenants or future Dragonflights?

You're given a screen with the choices you can make, but in the end you give the game the middle-finger and walk away. Imagine that: Neutrality.

Yet when you have player progression and power tied to such systems, it's nigh impossible to choose, well, nothing. Not to mention it could be implicitly seen as a "Screw you" to Blizzard

I suppose that's the link to the new expansion?

Seed look like an egg...

[Cherry123]

There is also an encrypted IGC 9.2.5 in the maw. This is about Sylvanas again, I thought her story was over.

A lot of seeds tend to be rather egg shaped.

[GR8GODZILLAGOD]

I could see that seed given by the winter queen to grow a new tree be a part of the NE heritage armor quest.

In the same way that all playable Death Knights are Scourge Death Knights, or Monks are Pandarian Monks, an Invoker could be a Dragon Invoker. They simply don't mention the specific source of their power. That being said, Scaleface is looking pretty shaky to me right now. I would love to see a couple undeniable hints that could be confirmed on Tuesday so we know who to look out for come 11.0.

Well we had Scourge DKs in Vanilla, DK class appeared in WotLK. We had a Pandaren Monk pet in WotLK. Pandaren-based Monks appeared in MoP.

We're 1 week from reveal, and I have yet to see any seeding for a Dragon Invoker. Also characters like Alexstraza are simply dragons.

[Izalla]

That is literally a rock.

This is amazing

I mean, if an independent team has the creativity to (re)imagine new classes, I don't see why the official company couldn't do the same.

Well because the official company has responsibilities to their subscriber base that independent teams don't have to worry about. Because of that, they have to create a more conservative game.

So first you are a man.
Then you are a dragon-man.
Then maybe you are just a dragon.

Quick everyone go reserve the name Trogdor !

If I can't burninate the countryside or all the peasants then I don't want it.

What are the responsbilities that impact their broadning of class choices?

[Civciv]

Thinking about dragons.

I am profoundly horny.

Especially Wrathion

Maybe we go search for like Deathwing’s soul or something? Lots of folks in the Maw; doesn’t have to be Sylvie. Could also be someone related to the Lordaeron/Quel’thalas stuff like Dar’Khan or Garithos.

[Berkilak]

What are the responsbilities that impact their broadning of class choices?

Equitable treatment and tolerable balance.

[Blayze]

I'd like it if our dragonsworn start out looking like normal playable races, then manifest more and more drakonid features as we level, slowly becoming bulkier. Would look horrifying on goblins and the like, though, if they got taller as a result.

That would mean they had to do, basically, 6 "covenants", the neutral one, in this expansion i think is a no, but another one, with less "covenants" so they can pull out the neutral one would work out
