Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Chickat]

Yeah, I think its a combo of mods doing a great job (kudos to them as you said) and the regulars here being annoyed by it and reporting as soon as we see it!

On another topic I leave for a 1.5h evening walk and come back to like 5+ new pages xD I love this thread in the EU evening hours.

Yeah I think this forum is bigger in the eu. It's active but way quieter when I'm awake. We get 6 pages while I'm active, I go to sleep and wake up to 20.

Not only that—the entire text layer is hiding in the file as well. I'm sorry you had to go through typing it out by hand!

I didn't type it by hand, hehe. That would be insane. I used Google Translate's built-in text recognizer thing and just copy-pasted it.

Now look what you’ve done
Now people are gonna use that to say “See they added Tinkers after an April fools joke before surely they’ll do it again”

Though it would be hilarious if they DID announce tinkers for next xpac despite the xpac being dragon themed.

Teriz is actually really good and presenting a full picture for his ideas. I used to be anti tinker but I've come around. I'd still rather have a dragon class but I'd for sure be happy with tinker too.

Do we know the name of the titan facility in the Eternal Palace referred to as The Last Prison (Nzoths prison)?

Sooo.. This is a bit of a head canon thing..

It's something that gets overlooked, but Kalimdor is Titanic for "Land of Eternal Starlight."
Kaldorei is translated into Night Elf, but from what we know of Kal, they should technically be called "Star Elves".

With the Prison being called "Circle of Stars", the facility should be something akin to "Kaldir".

Which of course, is awfully close to Kvaldir. Who I bet we are going to see end up being retconned away from just Vykrul ghosts and they come from the same facility that the Eternal Palace was built on.

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

Backpack is different colors of a tinker backpack. Mount up and the backpack transforms you into a small hellicopter transformer style. @Teriz

Anyone else expecting absolutely nothing cool. (not even a new race/class) but hoping for some of the stuff being speculated about?

Gotta temper those expectations

I'm expecting shadowlands. It with dragons. No class or race. Anything more will make me content. Anything less might make me quit. If we get a world revamp with races and a class I'll do backflips.

is this a fake pre-order? or real

The logo is certainly fake. The top half is just the BfA logo unchanged.

Actually it's

Doubt it. That company isn't seen that reputable. They resell keys and are a bit scammy.

The background image isn't new, either; it's been used since at least 2016.

There's also a second (hidden) layer with 522 entries, which is a bit odd.

This is actually fairly significant evidence that the entire code is probably BS if they didn't even bother including all of the entries in the image.

could use another 4chan leak right now.

You know I almost considered faking one last night but at this point figured it would just be swept aside as "more of the same."

It's why I'm saying we need Blizz to throw us a bone here. Unencrypt a model or forget to remove a link from the site or something.

So the Drek'thar layer was called: dracthyr

If we look for that string, we find this website: flightrising. com/index.php/dragon/8171365

Domain matches the filename.

I mean ngl, I would love Darkfallen customizations

Same! I hope we get Darkfallen as an AR, but I'm going to air on the side of caution and probability and say customizations or class skin.

[FossilFree]

They did say "code is not everything," so maybe the code is a red herring?

Drek'Thar is the commander in Alterac Valley. Maybe the race is neutral Alteraci humans? It would fit with a Lordaeron revamp.

Imagine trying to impersonate someone when this forum clearly shows post count.

[Frood]

Well, it's just the 261 original combinations repeated for a total of 522. I think the real clues are in the metadata, and the code/cipher itself is simply a distraction.

That's.. an interesting website?
