Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Scaleface]

Don't turn information into self-promotion. That's kinda where it begins and ends.

It's mostly fine a few days out, but I'm not looking forward to "here's my bad fan fiction" to turn into "solve this problem using the Differentiation Equation to read my bad fan fiction" next go around for multiple months.

Fandom should never be about shameless self-wank.

That being said, those are ugly as sin, but they're low quality and still concepts. We'll see how it goes.

Talents look promising without detail.

yeah sorry for that, didnt wanted to look like this. All I wanted is to make ppl fun while waiting, and all other stuff I writed under my bigger post after solving the riddle with Dracthyr. Thats all, and I am happy for that ppl at least had fun, just this. We're full of toxicity here, which I wanted try to remove, just a bit...

[SniperCT]

Please be fake. Please be fake this is worse than Pandas.

Pandas at least look good and like they fit the franchise.

I want to reserve judgement for like, actual high res images and movement though.

But if real it feels like blizz has been trying to move WoW to a different kind of art style.

[John Hun]

I'm all for a Dragon race, but that looks really strange and out of place imo.

[Mightytasty]

:O

If this is real, the images are from extremely early in development. No way the new race doesn't have its own unique character selection screen.

I'm also skeptical of the QTE rumor and new talent trees. If true, it would be the largest class gameplay overhaul in the history of WoW.

[Hitei]

Doesn't fit with the wow aesthetic. If it's real its bad.

In what way? just out of curiosity.

The scales are almost exactly the type found on wow creatures,



The body shapes are 1:1 with existing races (hands, leg and arm shape, stance, etc.)

The wings are very similar to those found on Nathrezim, Demon Hunters, etc.

It's goofy, but it is 100% the wow aesthetic.

[Aradur]

Wow that looks like shit. Please be fake.

Not for playable races.

[bryroo]

Not if it's only a temporary form for combat.

You don't see Demon Hunter metamorphosis in login screen.

Unless the dragon form is a combat cooldown i don't see how that works here

[ercarp]

Races in character creation are supposed to wear clothes/armor, so its most likely FAKE

Good catch actually. Even the in-game screenshot at the bottom shows them without armor.

Are you telling me they would make a scaly race that can transform into a dragon humanoid but not be able to equip any armor as the actual new race? That's a downgrade from Worgens.

[Cheezits]

Has anyone checked if the human girl on the right is larger than normal? That might be what Scaleface meant by "Vrykul", their human forms are larger than regular races.

[Auburst]

If male Dracosomethings gonna end up hunched then I'll shit myself from disappointment.

[Teriz]

Because Metamorphosis is mainly restrained to a cooldown. If this is designed after Alexstraza, you're going to have multiple abilities in this form.

[Kohtra]

I don't really care about playing a dragon race no matter what they look like, but if those talent trees are real... holy shit I'm sold.

[Super Dickmann]

Do I need to bring up our DMs where you agreed you were wrong and said you were going to buy the shirt?

My views were stiff and firm that I was right. I've got the receipts. I've got designs prepared in case I'm ever wrong about this game's lore, which should be around the time apes have retaken the earth.

[Ersula]

How do you know the dragon form is male? Lizards don't have tits.

Because the one in the picture below it is a different, obviously feminine model. Bad fake is bad.

[Deventh]

Pre-alpha footage just to showcase how the race looks very quickly. Doubt this is very far into development.

[m4Zzo928]

Omg this is comedy gold.

[Hitei]

Not for playable races.

Yes for playable races? One of those two pictures is literally the Zandalari druid form. DH wings are extremely similar, and their scales are like a milder version of the same thing.

except it looks a bit rslurred in the face

Both of them are the same model. We have not seen the male model yet.
