Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Shadochi]

Damn this is getting interesting. Even if fake this is what we needed xD

[Ferlion]

Also guys



The url name match the number

That looks kind of like a Sethrek.

Maybe the entire dragon thing is a ruse :P

It's breed name might also indicate Naga.

I think the “end” of the riddle is that the race is called Dracthyr.

The whole point of Drekthar was an early hint that it was called Dracthyr, and the link to the dragon confirmed it.

There are no ends. Only beginnings.

I never thought I'd see this random obscure webgame a half dozen people I knew who used to be obsessed with show up in a wow forum as a puzzle about an upcoming expansion.

I think the “end” of the riddle is that the race is called Dracthyr.

this seems weird tho, since as someone pointed out, there's already a race called Venthyr, it would sound very uninspired.

So Dracthyr and Evoker ?

Why point us on all this flight rising stuff?

based on the dracthyr image, Im guessing golden dragonkin

Chromatic Dragon ?

Since the new model (Heart of the Aspect) is called Chromatic Drake



(and I KNOW the degenerates/evil chromatic are usually pink)

[Ferlion]

So maybe all of Dragonflight is just about a new Dragonflight becoming prominent.

The page for Dracthyr mentions Coatl a number of times. These exist in Warcraft lore (most commonly as pets trained by Naga) but have yet to appear in-game.

Despite their appearances in Warcraft III, the Warcraft RPG, and The Comic, couatl have yet to appear in World of Warcraft.

While the snap dragons and tidal guardians—two other naga creatures originally confined to Warcraft III—make appearances in Nazjatar in patch 8.2, the couatl remain absent.

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.

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

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.
