Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

Is that a Neopets ripoff?

Seems closer to a Dragonfable/Adventure Quest thing to me.

[Yunravel]

HOLY SHIT

Now that I remember, I saw a wow dev posting stuff about this game, I recognize the two headed one

[Leowyld]

Hmm. If you remove "cake" (because the cake is a lie, of course) from the letters, it leaves a & y. If you replace the vowels in Drek'thar with A & Y, you get Drakthyr - that's kinda close to dracthyr.

[Hypester]

So what’s with the c and k swap on drakthyr?

[Ferlion]

Their world map is interesting

Haha. Don't know, but Drakthyr is actually a pretty believable name for a dragon-based race. I could totally see it.

[Raetary]

Dracthyr certainly sounds like a wow name.

[Hypester]

It’s a little too close to Venthyr IMO unless there’s a connection or Thyr is used somewhere else in WoW that I can’t remember.

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.

What do you mean the layer was called? Can you explain it in non-IT way?

This was an epic level troll then lmao

Knew some people obsessed with that thing. Very old school adventurequest/neopets type thing.

[ercarp]

Drakthyr/dracthyr is so hard to pronounce though. I would just call them dragon bois.

Drakyr sounds cooler imo. That's what I'd call them.

[Zankai27]

Drakkay

Drakkya

Drakkya doesn’t sound awful

If this is real they must be doing something interesting to not just do Drakonids/Dragonkin

*Flight Rising is a social web-based activity site featuring dragon breeding, adventuring, combat, and collecting. It puts you in control of your own clan of dragons, allowing you to control their mating habits, specialize their abilities and traits, and adorn them thousands of different ways with a variety of apparel.*

I have nver heard of it before now.

[Amstrup]

Their world map is interesting

The 4 middle zones are very wowish, netherstorm/draenei, old god, ashenvale/elune and azshara vibes.

Also this is some next level thinking. I don't even care if it's correct, I'm still impressed. Bravo.

Yeah it's pretty nich.

I wonder if less trolling and more a huge hint as to some of the content we can get.

Going back to that idea of the dragon backpacks being whelps we raise!

[Jodmos]

Drakthyr/dracthyr is so hard to pronounce though. I would just call them dragon bois.

Drakyr sounds cooler imo. That's what I'd call them.

Plus the problems with those first ones given the game shown earlier. Doubt Blizzard could use something that close name wise.

[Slowpoke is a Gamer]

Are you all seriously giving this credit? It was an elaborate rouse to drive WoW traffic to the site of a probably struggling web game. Sheesh.

[justMaku]

What do you mean the layer was called? Can you explain it in non-IT way?

When creating images in photoshops you can add "layers" to compose your image. i.e background, foreground, etc. Layers can be named to allow easier navigation, here it looks like the background layer with the Drek'thar image was called dracthyr.

[Leowyld]

Also this is some next level thinking. I don't even care if it's correct, I'm still impressed. Bravo.

Thanks! And I think it is Drakthyr instead of the dracthyr found in the code. Why K instead? Because Drek'thar is blind, he can't... C.
