Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Soulwind]

Honestly, housing doesn't matter to me that much.

You know what I'd like? A campsite. Think the Vulpera racial on steroids. You can customise and upgrade it. You have workstations for your professions. There are a few NPCs hanging around, like a Companion or two, a merchant, etc. Naturally you can set your Hearthstone there.

No bank or AH, so you still need to visit player hubs and cities.

So, housing. But out in the world (invisible to other players, I assume) and, well, ugly.

No can do. Basic Campfire still tries to run for the Warchief, cuz he doesn't care bout no Horde Council!

Housing would be great for me personally. I don’t have time to commit to raiding or M+ due to work. The odd wing of LFR possibly and some non rated PVP. Most of my content is world content, levelling or farming old raids for transmog and mounts.

Housing as I assume they would do it, would really blend well into my play style and I would like my own part of Azeroth to call my own. Plus as someone who occasionally RPs, it would be great to use my house to host something.

As much as I want it… in my heart of hearts I just don’t think Blizzard will do it. Which sucks. We’ll find out in a little over 24 hours.

[Rae888]

We need more fake leakers revealing themselves today. Take your final lap of fame!

TBH I want the Dragonflight exp code embedded was just a red Herring.

Neat. I only saw one of these, the Dragonflight Covenant one, but the choice of font + random building as a background kind of gave it away as a fake for me.

Still, fake leaks like these are (imo) an integral part of the season and they help create discussion and build up hype, which is overall a good thing—and so I salute you. Personally, I haven't bothered to make any fakes since the Tides of Vengeance leak of yore, but it's been great to watch others contribute in this fashion.

it could be, but the code and the logo leaked? that is too much for a red hearring

[plz delete account]

If you are talking about @Scaleface, he said the class is Evoker. Not Chronomancer.

I believe he was referring to Jericho.

[Vakir]

The logo and Alex leak was also BEFORE the site leak, even. Not happening. You're getting Dragonflight.

Thank you for this, i love seeing the design process of fanmade logos.

[AngerFork]

Yeah you are right. But you know with less subtlety, it is less werewolf fantasy. What I am suggesting for Worgen is closer to the original pack form. And yes this endgame power boosts should be managed carefully to make sure none is a definitive best. Sure there would be a meta, but that won't matter much outside of Mythic stuff.

Agree on the subtlety giving less of a werewolf fantasy. A beast barely holding onto control of itself doesn't lend itself well to subtlety.

[ercarp]

Anymore of them 4can leaks?? just a little drop of leak pls.

I just found this one:

- Expansion name not Dragorflight, this was April fool joke by Jeremy Feasel to build up unlegal hype in the community but they forgot it on the site and are now trying to brush it under the carpets
- Real expansion name Galarkond's Rise
- Expansions settings in Dragon Isles but called different: real name is Dracaria
- Wrathion dies in intro cinematic trying to block missile sent by Gazlowe into the mouth of Galakrond to choke him to death like the Aspects did in the back behind in the past
- Alexstrasza steps up as the new leader of both Black and Red dragonflight
- Khadgar returns but he is changed into different. Now has beard and staff is bigger
- Garrosh will not be talked about
- Anduin and Sylvanas will return later but also changed
- Turalyon new model
- Covenant system deleted from game replaced with something different and changed also
- Talents changed
- World changed
- Profession changed
- Level cap derailed to 65 in 10.1 but added to 70 in 10.2
- New system is involve several systems created by combination strength of Jon Height and Ion Hazzikostas in combination they make a system that will take your new power and place it through a system that designates a number between 1 and 171 and when it comes out it will be added to your stats and you can embed this item in inyour inventory or save it for later. And if you use it you will be able to use it again so thers no loss of time
- New Raids: Caverns of Time new raid, Dragorath's Lair (1boss raid)
- New Dungeons: Shrine of Aran, Gobblara (fun tavern dungeon), Mechazora, Stormwar, Halls of Avalance
- New Class is called Ascendant, turn into dragon and become strong

I just found this one:

Classic Muffinus. What a goofy guy.

[Greyfang]

Today is the day, leakers. It's your time to "leak" some pretty safe and obvious stuff that's surely to come up in the reveal, so that next year you can claim you totally called it and we take your word as gospel. At that moment you can come up with some serious bonkers stuff and we'll believe it cause you totally got this one right. Don't miss the chance!

[Scaleface]

I just found this one:

If that would be true then all people with access to press packs gets jebaited...

I'm getting Tides of Vengeance flashbacks here re: Dragonflight

[Wangming]

Yeah. It reminds me of something said about Superman. By the Joker, I think.
"Stonger than a locomotive, and just as subtle"

WoW doesn't need housing, it needs more character customization.



With the introduction of Adventure Plates in XIV (think business cards but for your character), I'm reminded of how lifeless characters are in WoW. My character is the vessel I use to do everything in the game, but it doesn't really feel like mine, the only distinguishing trait I can have is transmog.


WoW is a combat-centered game, I get that, but if we're pushing for them to spend time dedicating resources to non-combat content, especially vanity content, I'd rather them flesh out character customization a lot more. Blizzard has done a lot of great work on that front recently, but they are still below par. Every race needs 4x the amount of options and then other features too such as body-type options and different voices to choose from. A big undertaking no doubt, but I personally want them to take this route if they choose to make a big investment in non-combat content again like they did with Garrisons or Pet Battles.
