Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Ersula]

They appear to be holding it, though. An ally wouldn't do that. It's not framed as a positive at all.

You can't glean anything like that from this blurry-ass image.

[Wangming]

Thankfully tomorrow is the series finale.

Nah, just the mid season finalee. Beta will bring the second half. We still have thousands of pages ahead of us.

[Yus atath]

Maybe, maybe not. It looks like it blends in with the clouds in the background and her other part of the wing is much more detailed and not blurred as much.

That’s literally part of the wing. Is it crack?? My god…

[Dragon ANX]

The new UI comment is interesting, I haven't -really- seen it mentioned elsewhere other than that wowexdev Twitter account he mentioned at some point (of which I'm not sure if it's someone just squatting that username after it was deleted many years ago or if it is just also ScaleFace).

I say it is interesting because a while back in 2018 two of the people on the WoW UI team transferred to another project inside Blizz that they described as "old but new". I'm curious if that actually ends up being a new default UI for WoW. Granted it would also be a backwards/addon compatability nightmare, but it's still interesting to think about.

I can already feel the tears of every wow addon developer

[Auburst]

Cant wait too

Two questions:
1. Does new race reuse Worgen rig?
2. Does male option reuse male Worgen posture?

My favourite part of hype train is the eye of azshara login screen

So from the lates scaleface post with the image and considering all known leaks so far...

What if Dragonflight is "Warlords of Draenor 2"

We go back in time. But this time to Northern Azeroth.

Thats why we have a Lordaeron/Quel'Thalas zone leak. We see these zones as they were before WC3.
Thats why we have a orc holding Alextraza. It is during the time she was captured.
Thats why we have dragon isles, which are "missing" right now. Because something happend during that time which caused them to be missing in our time.
Thats why we have Dalaran again as a hub. It is the Dalaran still on the ground.
Thats why Silvermoon is a hostile Suramar style city. As it had a rather poor attitude towards the alliance after WC2.

[Buliwyf the Omen]

I hope Scaleface is wrong, solely because Evoker sounds too stupid of a class name.

Give me the D! WE want more D's!

Dragonsworn!

Dragon Knight!

Dragondragon.

Just something else than Evoker.

[puddypounce]

What is the troll dungeon/raid going to be in Dragonflight?

[Vakir]

You can't glean anything like that from this blurry-ass image.

The position of his hand sure seems suspect and the ominous framing (relative to the blocking, obviously the actual environment is very clear) is pretty classic for inferring dominance in cinematic language.

We'll see if it's even real in the first place.

As much as I love timetravel and stuff, I'm not sure I want this.

[Malorne the White Stag]

Zul'Aman. We're going back for round 2.

Probably Dragonsworn, just structured after the HotS dragons instead of the TTRPG.

And here is the answer to all the "why include a function we have an addon for?" questions. Every meaningful update to the UI will break AddOns

[Ersula]

Except the new Lordaeron datamined isn't pre-scourge, it's post-battle-of-lordaeron.

The position of his hand sure seems suspect and the ominous framing (relative to the blocking, obviously the actual environment is very clear) is pretty classic for inferring dominance in cinematic language.

Or he's offering Alexstrasza a cookie.

As much as I dislike timetravel stuff, I'm not sure I don't want this.

Zul'Aman. We're going back for round 2.

Or a round 1 as it happens

[KayRule]

What is the troll dungeon/raid going to be in Dragonflight?

Steppe trolls

[ercarp]

Steppe trolls

Help me steppe troll, I'm stuck.

[Imotbh]

Just something else than Evoker.

If real, Evoker could just be the name of the caster spec, not the one of the class itself.

[Vakir]

RedShirtGuy probably thought Scaleface or an imposter was trolling because he was spouting manic rambling that was barely fucking intelligible. So par for the course, really.
