Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Wangming]

Interesting that they added women to them on there. How would you deal with the legs though?

Or would it be like Wheelchair Ragnaros and they would get legs out of nowhere?

Maybe they wouldn't have legs. Leg and feet items don't get animated. A small sacrifice.

Drek'this, Drek'that... it's always Drek'something.


Also, Scaleface is right about being bad at puzzles. My eyes.

I'm glad you capture that before my edit haha

Normal instinct with random letters is anagram, but that's clearly not the case here. Ya Cake or Ace Yak are not good indicators of anything. Either the letters are offset with a cipher or they are used in a different format/context I'm not familiar with (it mentions code at the bottom, so maybe it's some programming thing).

That's, of course, assuming it really is a hint for something valid... still around 50/50 on you, Scaley.

This Drek'thar Evoker stuff is so out of left field that he's either 100% trolling and laughing at everyone taking his nonsensical puzzles at face value and trying to "crack" them, or he got leaked info about a mobile game or Diablo IV and he thinks it's somehow related to 10.0.

The problem is if it doesn't get "solved" quickly, any solution after the expac reveal can be reverse-engineered into a told-you-so.

It would be nice if the race(s) that are added in DF are a little more wacky than just a Dragon race. Cataclysm races were unexpected fanfavorites being added in that, on paper, didn't seem related to the expansion theme of elementals and dragons and destruction. So hopefully Cata 2 could do something similar.

This code leak weakens my faith in the leaks a tiny bit, but knowing this community if there is any truth to it it'll be cracked before the day is over.

You discovered to being neutral as pandas, You discovered a class that evoke..

I am glad how much the topic has come to life after our tips - great ideas. Today, however, I am giving you perhaps the last tip. You had a clue to your class, today maybe let's think about the race?
I didn't want it to be too easy, and I liked the "theredshirtguy" reaction so we'll pull the topic a little differently. The Warcraft community loves puzzles, hidden mounts, etc.
I'm not very good at puzzles, but I came up with something like this:

*same six letters over and over again in different versions to the backdrop of a blind green orc.*

PS. code is not everything.

Interesting. Ace, Cake...

If I didn't fudge the math there are 9 variations in every line and there are 29 lines.

So 261 variations in total, yes? Maybe that is also a clue.

How so? Any particular reason why?

Yaungol playable race confirmed

[JDBlou]

So if "evokers" aren't revealed as warcraft's next class, any of these "leaks" are can be regarded as utter nonsense for future reference, correct?

[therumblings]

As someone mentioned posting super cryptic stuff can be interpreted any way after the announcement. Don't get me wrong, I still think this is our most credible leaker here, but that didn't exactly inspire more hope for me.

Another puzzle:

If you squint you can see High Elf Tinkers!

Another puzzle:

All hail our kākāpō overlords.

Yaungol playable race confirmed

Not gonna lie, I actually thought that for a moment. Heh.

Depends if he wants to confirm it as the class name or not, he was just vague and said it "Evokes".

[ercarp]

It just looks like he scrambled the word "cakey" with a site like this one and then pasted the results on top of an image of Drek'thar.

Drek'thar + Cakey = ???

[Sondrelk]

Another puzzle:

Wait a minute...

Undermine confirmed?

[therumblings]

Drek'thicc?

[JDBlou]

If evoke as a word is never used in the reveal with regards to a class and, I'd call it bunk.
