Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

Wouldn't be the first time But there is no Old God under the sword, no? Cthun is dead and is sort of next door, not exactly underneath XD
Anyway, I think either Sargeras will return or something else will pull that sword out eventually, so bad idea anyway.

Y'Shaarj was super dead and his torn out heart could still talk and corrupt. For good or ill, death for Old Gods is not the same as death for mortals.

[Nymrohd]

Yeah Lothlorien and your idea make sense. Teldrassil does not. Like, what the fuck happened? Did the leaves grow so thick they just became solid ground somehow? Nah. To make it work with one tree, Teldrassil should have been much larger and us walking on the tree branches to explore and Darnassus either built on a particularly thick branch or grown into the shape of a city by Druids.

I mean it's not my idea it's how hundreds of artists and fantasy fiction writers (and even some architects IRL) have figured treetop cities would work
And not even just solid ground. There are caves up there

[Raetary]

I'd say the burning itself is the least realistic . . . something that large would not burn this fast. Sylvanas did not drop a couple of planes on it after all.

Let alone something that large, that's fortified with magic and sitting on an island in the middle of the ocean.

[Wangming]

Always felt that all the silithid hives ARE C'thun's body.

Yeah caves dug into a bunch of leaves. Teldrassil is a beautiful zone and has very cool vibes, but even magic can't explain why it works.

[Sondrelk]

Wel with Flying in Cata it shows that Teldrassil wasnt a fully grown tree. Just a tree stump with ground on it somehow. I mean it was probably a real tree in lore, but they couldn't depict it as such. They wanted to outdo Lorien, but didn't really think about how it would go.

But something something...Elune helping her sister get some souls.

I think the intent for Teldrassil was to make use of the low render distance to make it look like you just couldn't see the actual tree canopy.
Why they added obvious rocks and such inside the actual zone is hard to say for sure though. I can only assume they didn't have many textures to work with.

Anyone have a good bingo card thats not filled with meme stuff?

[Buliwyf the Omen]

Hopefully it will be consistent with other expansion reveals (I know most happened at Blizzcon but the Legion one at Gamescom also did the same) where there will be the reveal video, then some deep dive videos in place of the usual panels.

That said, without it being at an actual event they might drip feed deep dives over several weeks...

I think they will stretch it as long as they possibly can with the aid of Diablo Immortal aswell as WotLK Classic.

But Shadowlands was also delayed, so maybe they're for the future expansion for some reason already more ahead.

Maybe they'll grow a new World Tree in EK, like how in the original pre-dev days they intended to have one in Quel'thalas

As I said, blizzard loves ignoring, or rather forgetting facts

Okay, well let's do better than Blizzard and not present ideas that rely on them continuing to do this.

Wait what? In Quel'Thalas? The very much non-nelf zone? Dang they had some weird ideas back then.

... NPC dating?

Really?

[Lady Atia]

... NPC dating?

Well to be fair that kind of stuff worked quite well in KOTOR - I doubt it would work in WoW though. Also why date an npc if you can date .... some real rp person?

[Wangming]

Damg that's a very detailed bingo card. If we get NPC dating in WoW before in FFXIV that would shake things up nicely. Also Tess Greymane is still single, right?

[KayRule]

Yeah, maybe they might surprise us an add some actual good features for once.

[Wangming]

Maybe cause that would just give more tools to the degenerates ERP-ing in Goldshire.

[Fartlas]

NPC dating in WoW, lmao

[Chickat]

Really i think what Blizzard needs to do is reuse the covenant framework, trim it down, and then tie it more to the reputation.

You don't get any player power that is useable in raids or other instanced content, but you do get a storyline, zone upgrades, and a few unique cosmetics.

Then, instead of choosing one covenant or rep and sticking with it, you instead have all of them available, but limit how much progress you can do with them.
You can still opt for one reputation and go fast with that one, but that would mean everything else going slower, or you can try and spread it out, but being slower overall.

This way you have most of the upsides of covenants, but tied more to reps instead of being a weird not-quite rep. If you like one zone more than others you can still focus on that one and get full rewards. Or if you want everything you can try and spread it out and still get everything.

Yeah that does sound pretty cool.

Tell that to Ameliance.

Not gonna happen, it would change waay too much the "power balance" between continents, we have forsaken and belfs in EK and night elves and Draenei in kalindor

Personally a huge fan of Lorna Crowley myself.
