Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Nightshade711]

Not necessarily, they could have a specific name as it is the name of their stranded group / culture that detached from other drakonids. Just like how Draenei call themselves Draenei, when the actual name of the race is eredar, and Draenei means Exiled Ones.

Definitely can't see a four legged race as a playable race, but eh, could be cool

Could also be a group of Drakonids that leave the direct service of the dragons to aid the mortals. Since you know, they’ve been doing a better job protecting the world for the past decade than dragons. (Especially since the dragons lost a good bit of their power)
Could explain why they could be playable early too if they learn about us stopping the jailer.

But that might be a stretch…

This is where blizzard creative re-writing comes in play. They will probably rework so they now can just look like the current races. We dont have 100% proof in writing where they come from or if Dragonspawn even can reproduce. So maybe its just a blessing from the dragonflight.

They're probably gonna be bipedal.

Hold up read this trivia:
Blizzard have considered making drakonid a playable race, with Tom Chilton stating in 2009 that "We always looked at those and said, oh that would be a pretty cool player race - it would be cool to play as one of those guys. There's not a lot there as far as, where did they come from and what are they? But they are in the world and it wouldn't be completely inconceivable that a player would end up being able to play that, and we could continue to expand on the depth of that race and that sort of race."

So a dragon race is 100% not out of the picture if they probably even tested in back in 09

Unsure why they would give Drakonids a new name unless the name refers to a certain faction of them.

Drakonid Race + Dragonsworn Class (that can turn into a full blown Dragon in Combat or atleast as a Flight Form) would be hella dope and even make me re-sub & pre-order Tuesday in hype.

[Blayze]

Y'know, I'd like to see our dragon allies be the threat, like they're war hawks trying to push the faction war so they can weaken both the Alliance and Horde to the point where the dragons can swoop in and re-establish our dominance. Meanwhile, the faction leaders know what the dragons are up to, but they can't afford to say no to the assistance, because there's no way they can stand up to the other side otherwise.

The prisoner's dilemma, essentially.

They're probably gonna be a more slim and prettier version of those.

That would be depressing if they neuter Drakonids into being Dragon Elves for a new race.

[micwini]

Don't both of his wolves have names? Maybe we missed that.

[enak101]

Sorry Scaleface, people gave up on your puzzle already, too abstract I guess.

[Hitei]

Sort of a given that they'd be a specific faction rather than just random individuals. That's how all races/allied races are treated.

Not that pretty.

I think they solved it.

Who said you need all letters of the names?

[flan1337]

I believe the dragonsworn class will act like Demon Hunter class where you technically select the 'blood elf' and 'night elf' race ,but in-game you are consider Illidari. Same thing can be done with Dragonsworn where it would be a lesser dragon race for evey race with new customizations ,but if you want to be more 'dragon' I guess you can select the Drakonid race.

[Hypester]

Sorry Scaleface, people gave up on your puzzle already, too abstract I guess.

Hitei literally solved it. The race is Draakyk or something similar.

[Raetary]

Given what Scaleface has given us with Draakyk (or whatever the actual letter arrangement is), i find it likely we are getting a brand new draconic race and the evoker class will essentially be thtis expansions DHs that can turn into a Drakonid as a cd.

Yes. It *is* possible we are not supposed to use all letters. Maybe that's what "the code isn't everything" was meant to signify.

[Ferlion]

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:



PS. code is not everything.

Iron Dwarves.

The letters aren't anything. They are just runes repeating in a simple fashion. The orc is there to represent the storm, I.E Stormborn and as a reference to Alterac Valley, something involving dwarves.

Iron Dwarves were the ones who primarily used Runic magic, and would have a connection to both dragons and Titans.

[Hypester]

I believe the dragonsworn class will act like Demon Hunter class where you technically select the 'blood elf' and 'night elf' race ,but in-game you are consider Illidari. Same thing can be done with Dragonsworn where it would be a lesser dragon race for evey race with new customizations ,but if you want to be more 'dragon' I guess you can select the Drakonid race.

This is likely, but the idea of them making DH-style customizations for literally EVERY race seems a bit bonkers.

[Nightshade711]

I hope not. Attempting to make lizards “pretty” wouldn’t end well lmao
