Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[cone of cold]

Or they had decided ahead of time what races would get the AR treatment. Otherwise Trashgnomes would have stayed in the junkyard where they belong, and Alliance would have gotten Ankoan instead.

Mechagnomes had to be thrown in there to balance it out for the Alliance and Ankoan were probably less popular than Mechagnomes.

Enhancement pre-Legion played like that

No.

[Nymrohd]

Don't be silly: That would annihilate the loot table balance.

How about removing armor mog restrictions then removing mail, turning existing mail to leather and changing monks and demon hunters to cloth. Make cloth gear be Agi/Int

New Races
What I Want: Darkfallen Allied Race
What I'll Get: Darkfallen Allied Race

I like your optimism. Darkfallen would be cool.

Oh yeah, I remember now. The extremely short-lived Dark Ranger renaissance where we all dared to hope before Dragonflight came in and steamrolled everything in its wake.

For the record, I still want Darkfallen to be realized in-game in some shape or form, be it a customization option at the barber, a class skin, or an Allied Race. They look visually really cool so I don't see why they shouldn't add them in.

Hell, let's make them a Darkfallen faction for all the red eyed undead from the two elves to humans and maybe trolls. Or Vrykul since there is precedent for that. Gimme an evil vampire faction and leave the Horde alone. They always end up being the bad guys in faction war.

Me still waiting for Naga.
Maybe in 11.0

Don't get me wrong Naga is my number one choice, but Tyrande would destroy Stormwind in a Tidal Wave if they joined the Alliance. My guess is Jinyu/Ankoan for Alliance, Naga for the Horde.

I guarantee you the next time we see Azshara, she will join us as an ally (this is Warcraft after all; bad guys turn into good guys and vice versa) and that's how they'll lead us into getting Naga as an Allied Race.

Don't you dare tempt me with false hope.

I have an idea for a new dragon class
It’s a agility leather wearing melee class with a big focus on mobility that can dual wield.
Melee DPS and a tank spec at a minimum. Maybe a healer spec in there.

It should also be able to wield a polearm and have cool tier sets but you can never see them in their 4th spec because they are in one form all the time.

Wings and breaths green fire out of its eyes too!

I still want Snake Bois dammit!

I always wondered, how could Naga join one of the factions? I guess it would have to be the faction among them that opposes Azshara and has allied with Neptulon against the Old Gods? In my dream version of WoW, Illidari would have been a faction and I always wondered how the Naga lore could develop to make them turn on Azshara (especially Vashj)

No.

Yes. /10char

I've always been a mail main and would welcome leather armor for mog purposes. Would be annoying to have what, 6 classes fight for the same bracer drop though.

Honestly maybe they could remove mail, move Shaman up to Plate, Hunter to Leather and either Monk or DH to Cloth and we'd have four of each of the three armor types

[Syegfryed]

Let's be honest. No class should wear mail. Shamans should wear leather or cloth, and hunters should wear leather.
The insistence on 4 armor types doesnt actually do much for the game beyond ensure Hunters and Shamans have less variety in appearances.

Me an intelectual: Shamans should wear plate

[Therougetitan]

Can't wait for Evoker even if it looks like a deviantart OC if they do a new class & race that will be cool. Reminds me of when MoP came out I was hype for a class heavily themed after a race.

[Lady Atia]

Me an intelectual: Shamans should wear plate

Well, Thrall always used to wear plate (besides his dark Cata days *shudders*).

[Khaza-R]

Have I missed anything juicy the past couple of days?

[Revamp Man]

We have two more skeletons not used in allied races
Undead & human

You could argue kyrian and NecroLord because they both have stronger ties to Azeroth via the heroes we interact with

I’m just hoping we get a hero class in 10.0 because we have gone so deep in storytelling recently that adding them earlier is almost impossible because it isn’t as simple as adding a new class call out to bwl

Troll impersonating other posters, some guy claiming to have insight info and posting riddles with clues about it, tons of speculating.

[Edlarel]

and worgen and pandaren.

What about worgen?

and worgen and pandaren.

Oh yeah, forgot about pandaren

[Shadochi]

I hope we get more tortollan hubs in 10.0 on dragon isles.

Also IMO covenants shouldn't be AR, I would much rather get Azeorthian (or othar worlds on the mortal plane as AR) but would much rather get a new race (or 2 if not neutral) with new skeleton than AR, alongside or just heritage stuff for remaining races

For Pandared there is potential to get Tortollan, since they use the same skeleton I think?

Less popular? I barely ever see a Mechagnome, nobody cares about them. Besides, they're pretty much just Gnomes anyway.

I personally think they only didn’t use akoan because they had already used the nelf skeleton for nightborne.

And it would mean the horde would’ve gotten gilgoblins instead of Vulpera to balance out the “nazjatar allied races”

But Mechagnomes could’ve been done so much better.
At minimum give them the two other tints that’re already in the files to their heritage armor to match customization.
But only hordies are allowed extra things for their heritage.
