Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

Can someone TLDR me on the puzzle progress since I've been gone?

[Hypester]

Not sure what this tells us though as it's not like the new race would be this random wind serpent looking thing, lol. Unless Scaleface is trying to tell us that the new Neutral race is in fact Naga?

A Naga Evoker would definitely make more sense than a Dragon Evoker, but it's kind of a strange choice for the expansion theme.

It could just be a hint that Azshara is involved, and how she and the naga could attack flying islands (with flying creatures)

Neopets like dragon breeding website and Dracthyr

We didn't get anywhere until page 2168 so you can basically just read from there and you'll know everything we know.

The long and short of it is that the Drek'thar anagram code/riddle/whatever contained metadata in the image that led us to a dragon named Dracthyr in a browser game called Flight Rising.

worth saying the .png is called flightrising

and there's a meta sentance : The flight is rising, evoker is real.

2171 pages...wow! And here I was, back in January, predicting that we would be closer to 2000 pages by the time 10.0 was officially announced. Instead, we are OVER 2000!! Less than 4 days to go (in terms of physical hours and minutes). Really hoping for a HUGE event on Tuesday. Blizzard and employees alike really seem to be pumping up the reveal quite a bit online.

[justMaku]

The file was also apparently created on 1st November 2022, but I believe they already said that's the planned release date.

I didn't do anything except become profoundly stunlocked by the CAKEYA code and try to decipher it fruitlessly. But it looks like it might have been a red herring.

[Ferlion]

This is a fairly elaborate thing.

[Yunravel]

now this doesn't help us since don't even know what a Dracthyr is

Dracthyr hatchday on the flightrising game is 2014

Hatchday
HatchdayNov 28, 2014

I guess it was all a joke

Apparently it was meant to be used to get Dracthyr without the other deciphering.

The puzzle was introduced with the OP saying it had to do with the new race, so that is probably what they are saying the name is.

[Three Faced Goddess]

How come everybody is entertaining this Scaleface guy?

I swear I'm not trying to be a stick in the mud, the thread has just grown incredibly fast recently, and I'm genuinely curious if we have reason to believe him.

We're bored as fuck. Now, I'm only speaking for myself, but I think he's full of shit and could be screwing with us like he once implied a while back.

I like puzzles so I'm just going to try and solve it.

I'm pretty sure it's not the race tho, since that Dracthyr hatched in 2014 ! He's just playing with us lol.

[ercarp]

Btw correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the "Dracthyr" on that site just a custom name someone by the name of EmbridFreign gave to their own dragon pet?

And according to the site it was hatched (and therefore presumably also named) on Nov 28, 2014.

Ah, looks like you beat me to it.

I mean, someone mentioned earlier that he's seen these icons on a devs twitter. It's more than possible some dev liked the name from an old pet and decided to use it..

It seems odd one would go through all this trouble, point to an obscure website, and not take into account the hatching date. I mean, if you were gonna try and mess with people

Yes it is but the URL number of the Dracthyr pet was /8171365/

which is indeed the page, and dracthyr is the layer name.

Files is called Flightrising so everything was leading us here

on a 2014 hatched dragon prank.

[Hypester]

I assume the idea is that the name is Dracthyr and seeing as there are a million OC dragons out there, one of them just happened to fit the name and Scalebound linked to it.

That would mean the Coautl stuff is BS though.

[Leowyld]

I'm thinking that Scales found something named Dracthyr because it is close to Drakthyr, to point us towards that name from a different direction. The intended race name we are supposed to get from this puzzle is Drakthyr. That is not saying it will actually be the next race on WoW, but I believe it is what Scales is saying it will be.

[Fartlas]

Wait you all got baited by fucking Flight Rising of all things? That's kind of nostalgic because I do vaguely remember visiting that site ages ago.
