Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Ferlion]

Have you considered the possibility that Scaleface could be Ian/Redshirtguy and that he would just be toying with us tho ?

I can say with a strong amount of certainty that RSG is not the type. It would be so wildly out of character

I was wondering since he's the one who gave Scaleface some credits to begin with, with the tweet he made ? Idk why we are believing Scaleface tho

As someone pointed it out Venthyr => Dracthyr/Drakthyr just sounds bad.

[ChronoSul]

Can someone attempt to explain why anyone would give any credence to Evoker as a class? Seriously that idea should've died like 50 pages ago.

Realistically we're getting either:

A) Class based on the theme: Dragonsworn / Dragon Knight
B) A highly requested class or system that would introduce highly requested themes: Tinker, Bard, etc, 4th specs / skins / 1 spec mini classes

Evoker as a standalone new class is just not happening. No one will give a fuck.

I think people are thinking Evoker is the name of the dragon related class. Personally I do think we wouldnt see a class named Dragon Knight because Death Knights already exist and could get confusing with 2 classes that would probably be shorten down to DK. The main issue is we dont really have a good idea with what the class could be called. If it was invoker instead of evoker then I think that would has a higher chance but again who knows

RSG has been a member of Scrolls of Lore for well over a decade, though he comes and goes on the discord due to it's negativity.

He is not the type.

[Blayze]

Evoker sounds like a spec to me.

I'm not buying into it either. Even if it was a dragon-themed class (as it should be), I think Evoker sounds far too vague. Classes should have a name that makes it immediately clear what the class is all about. Dragonsworn, Dragon Knight, Dragon Tamer... Anything with the word "Dragon" in it basically.

Every single class we've ever had makes it very clear what it is from just reading the name. Imagine trying to explain Evoker to your friend.

A: What's Evoker? Is that like a mage?

B: No no, it's actually this really cool dragon class. They can breathe fire and transform into—

A: Then why is it called Evoker?

B: Well, they uhh... They evoke the flames. And dragon stuff... Yeah... Evoking all that.

the real problem for me is the vague nature of the evoker as a class: all the classes Blizzard added you know instantly what they do, be it a Monk (even if you only saw the one from Diablo 3) or DKs; this evoker/invoker class, on the other hand, what is its shtick, does it invokes the aspects? the elements? some other power?
Not saying it can't be true, only voicing some doubts I got

Been a while since we had a good ARG styled hunt tbh, im liking it.

Off topic does this guy seriously not know how to save images? Sailor Twyft is so low res

losing in translation for me, I immediately associated the Evoker to a summoner type of caster, one that can conjure or call creatures to aid him in battle

Why are you believing some guy on mmo champion who predicted 1 thing way back in Legion by pure luck?

same as the others, bored, and ppl seemed to give him credits so

[Hypester]

I think maybe they mixed up Evoker with Invoker? You invoke the power of the Aspects, that makes sense and is essentially a Dragonsworn with more magic powers.

I couldn’t ten you what an Evoker is though.

If he legit had inside information Blizzard would be on his ass since Legion. There's a reason why most legit leaks are by throwaway accounts so they can't be traced to the source.

Just for fun, what do you think the new class's color would be? On raid frames and meters, etc.

I always imagined that a Tinker would be gray if they ever added them, but I can see that going to Dragonsworn instead.

Alternatively, I'm thinking of an orangered color that's kind of like a midway point between Druid and DK. Or maybe even a brighter yellow? Since Rogues have kind of a light yellow color.

EDIT: Now that I think of it, gray is the color for disconnected players in raid frames so that might not work...

A light-red to contrast against dark red of Dks

not just summoning creatures but objects and even different type of magics as well.

Evoker could easily be someone taught to evoke dragon magic using dragon spells, its not totally impossible.

It's really weird, too. Apparently they grasp computers well enough to constantly create new accounts, but somehow can't manage something so simple and basic as saving a file.

Oh, that would actually look nice.

Why would tinkers be grey? They'd be gold/brownish like their gadgets. Thankfully we will never know because they are never happening.
