Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Vakir]

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...

I owe you an apology then, genuinely. It maybe wasn't the intent but I really am just not thrilled about the possibility of it being warped into something problematic later even when it's not intended as such.

Some asshole will do it later and hopefully it will go ignored unless they have something concrete to offer later like this, fake or otherwise.

The wings are 100% translucent to some degree. You can literally see the stormwind flag through them.

Tough to tell with the bad artifacting. Guess we'll see tomorrow.

Why is it "Druid Talent Points" and "Restoriation Talent Points". Was that explained previously? Are there going to be class specific talent points and then you also get to choose 1 spec tree?

There is actually in game precedent for this; they changed the skill tabs so now we have a "class" skill set , and then the various specs and their skills. So having a base talent tree for the class and then one for the spec makes sense. And as I referred to earlier, it solves the problem I was wondering about, how do you add in all the good stuff from soulbinds and covenant abilities into the new expansion.

I don't get why anyone thinks a dragon form would wear armor... Do any of the lore dragons wear their humanoid armor in dragon form?

No and I also dont understand why people would think that a dragon would run around in a robe or some leather armor? This also takes months of work off their shoulders, otherwise they'd have to make every piece of armor fit on that body.

That though is a good question. Where is the armor? I don't think they'd exclude it from the model ala druid, but also other stranger things have happened.

The winged dracthyr is clearly a female. What if the bulky one in the image with Alex in the background is the male? Sexual dimorphism and all that.

It doesn't even have wings there... that's an orc of some sort.

That would make a lot more sense.

But he has no wings.

It's 100% a reskinned metamorphosis skeleton.
I would be genuinely surprised if they used it instead of giving them a new skeleton.

Probably on a private server. Given what we've seen on private servers, like the landed/upgraded Dalaran images, it wouldn't be too far fetched.

But I see nobody rolling female if that's actually how they look.

[DevilDare]

As i said it looks like u have talents for class, and then on right side for spec. Looks like by screens, no details yet.

That could actually be pretty awesome

[Raetary]

It looks so poor and unpolished unless its from prototyping or something.

Leak of pre-alpha footage looks unfinished and unpolished.

Next thing you'll point out is that the sky is blue.

[Deventh]

Why are people really think that's real? It looks so poor and unpolished unless its from prototyping or something. Someone explain to me please the reasons why it is not fake?

Scale leaked cinematic image and the fakes are too high quality for someone to be wasting their time a few hours before the reveal. I think it's real, unfortunately this is the Blizzard quality of 2022.

Why is the race a HUMANOID dragon then???

[Teriz]

Plenty of Dragonkin do though, and wield spears and the like.

Clearly we're dealing with a different type of Dragonkin.

[Polybius]

It looks similar to the spraycan tool in photoshop with high diameter setting

Hoping this is it because it looks underwhelming.

[flan1337]

still no marketing graphics leaks this year. I am surprised

[ro9ue]

Makes sense now doesn't it?

[Yus atath]

Oh and why not showing the female variant?? Very convenient

[Northelim]

Can you send me the post where the leaks the cinematic? And who is this scale guy the one with riddles?

[Stricks]

:O

Not an expert, but in the last pic the shadow for the model does not seem to be cast in the same direction as the trees...

[Ersula]

Makes sense now doesn't it?

It would make sense if those dragon humanoids used the existing Dreadlord rigging - but they don't.

[Rae888]

I'm trying to figure out if the in-game locations of the red dragon and talent tree screenshots are zones that already exist in the game. Because if these were real promotional images they'd be taken in new zones.
