Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Yunravel]

Cho’gal is an actual lore character but you aren’t arguing for a class to be based on him

Shaman and Warlock are playable. Cho'gall is nothing but an enhancement shaman on one head and a Warlock on the other.

That’s because he’s not in HotS
Oh wait he is

But his abilities aren’t unique like Alex and her blessing of sacrifice uh I mean flame heal that damages her

I have a feeling that the baby whelp backpacks are going to be a lot more elaborate than the Murloc ones. I'm picturing something more akin to Wrathion's backpack, with some adornments and effects that match the power of the dragonflight that the whelp belongs to.

While i could definitely see Blizzard reusing the murloc backpack idea, I have to imagine they know that players would prefer really cool wings instead. And while the Kyrian wings show that it might not look the greatest i cannot really imagine Blizzard would miss out on this easy option for a cool transmog.

Unless of course more elaborate dragon wings is a reward from something in the Dragonflight expansion of course. In that case it's easy to see the dragon nwhelo backpack being what we get.

I could see wings being a possibility as well. I'm very interested to see what this and the mount turns out to be.

I gotta say, I'm really interested in seeing how much Blizzard allows us to indulge in a dragon fantasy. The Visage Day short story was interesting because it gave us a glimpse into how dragons think and behave. They're also dumping tons of old dragon books back into the pipeline for us to consume. Honestly, I think all of that is really a sign that they're going to build a class that allows us to become dragons and fully indulge in that fantasy. I could totally see the hero class opening scenario be Visage day where you're in dragon form deciding on your race just like Chromie did in the story.

Pages could work well for that. They could also do like a tile layout on the character selection screen and then only show the character after being selected.

I suddenly want a tile layout like burning!

[ercarp]

That's a good question. Why are they balmed every time?

Yo Adolf, no one cares about your incel nazi shit.

Just report it and move on. Don't feed the troll.

What if that's our borrowed power.

We are given these whelps for our chosen dragonflight to empower and take care of and help grow.

eta: the more I think about it the more I like this idea LET ME RAISE A DRAGON BABY BLIZZARD

The worst part of any troll are the ones you want to engage with righteous fire but have to content yourself with the report button.

You bring up something interresting, it's one of the reason I would hate being a Drakonid or a Dragonsworn and I'd rather be a Dragon.

I hate borrowed power, and theses 2 are pretty much that. Dragon slaves.

But I'd love a kind of bond with a Dragon whelp, as long as we keep the stuff in the ongoing xpac

Yeah that's kind of what I want too. Developing a bond with this dragon whelp and raising it. Get us super attached and then later on be all 'go kick ass baby I'm so proud of you'

That's true. Especially with the cult ones who have drank the koolaid.

[Therougetitan]

I'd love a dragon whelp version of pocopoc that becomes a mount with customizeable armor

[Yunravel]

Holy shit indeed, they usually experiment with upcoming xpac in patches... Wasn't nzoth vision the future Torghast ? Could be the same with Pocopoc.

[Marlamin]

*loudly applauses* That's the stuff! That's the kind of speuclation we're here for! YEAH!

[Revamp Man]

Hear me out
Backpack is like a fancy dragon incubator with an egg
Pet is a drakonid but like Daisy if you do an emote it hops on your back

[Nightshade711]

Surely he can't be a class because he's a villain not at all like Arthas and the DKs

[Revamp Man]

Dailies help it mature like the cloud serpent and bosses/treasures/quests give the rewards

eta: the more I think about it the more I like this idea LET ME RAISE A DRAGON BABY BLIZZARD

Yeah that would be another example of allowing us in the fantasy of being a dragon. Man, the RP community would lose their minds.

He can't be a class because there's no multitude of races (or one playable race) with two heads.

[huth]

I think it's funny they can't manage to copy your avatar properly. Would think that's rather easy to do...

This would be great, I'd love to see it.
Though I wonder if they'd either tie flying to it, or let you fly using it without pathfinder (or whatever weird requirement for flying they've got) similar to the mechagon backpacks

Point being?
There's no class (or one playable race) where you can turn into a giant flying dragon, especially in content.
