Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Malorne the White Stag]

no its not, that model is old as shit and outdated, also you cant really fight with weapons as that.

You don't need weapons to fight in a non humanoid form (see druids)

[elbleuet]

Guys do you think we'll get a cinematic by tomorrow ?

[FossilFree]

Yup.

With so many great dragon models, I really hope that Blizzard wouldn't go this route.

Blizzard, this is the dragon form people want;

Cool, but unrealistic for players to play a full-sized, quadrupedal dragon with giant wings. Could you imagine if there were 5 or 6 in a raid? You wouldn't be able to see anything.

Yep, 100%.

[huth]

Yeah

Old Talent Tress + Artifact Weapon Structure + POE similarities

Dragons

Clearly the most hated things that the playerbase never asked these years.

I definitely don't want PoE style skill tree. It's a horrible abomination. Old Talent trees died for a reason, too.

Artifact was cool, but that was in part because it was on top of the base systems.

And yeah, Dragons are cool. Those weird winged humanoids are not.

[Sondrelk]

It looks new to me. I don't recognize it.

It's a reskinned female Metamorphosis form. Also used for female Dreadlords and other winged demons.

Whether it's real is another matter. But as was pointed out, this just so happened to be leaked a couple of hours into debating whether a dragonman concept would be coming to WoW.

[Buliwyf the Omen]

Yup.

We've heard you like cool dragons.

Here's your completly horrible metamorphosis into NPC dreadlord re-skinned race that looks neither human nor dragon.

Instead we could've made Drakonids or straight up full fledged out dragon forms but... nah. That would be too cool.



For real though if thats what we see tomorrow in the Trailer I can atleast finally safely delete Battle.net off of my PC.

No... The armor on the human figure.

He was talking about the armor the human is wearing. the armor looks familiar, but I can't place it.

[Cheezits]

Snouted races don't look that accurate turned to front.



It's like Smiling Friends when facing forward.

[Teriz]

You don't need weapons when you're a dragon.

[Smokinya]

Why are people seething so hard?

No clue. Honestly the talent tree looks slick and the dragon models look pretty good texture and design wise. I don't really understand the hate. Better than Void Elves, Vulperra and Nightbourne IMO. Nightbourne legit are one of the worst new models in-game IMO.

[flan1337]

that dragon model has to be fake. That does not have the 'Warcraft' feeling at all.... unless they contracted the art for the next expansion I high doubt we would get such a bad model.

[Khaza-R]

I think the wings were a toggle feature and the models were wearing armor they would look 110% better.

[Nightshade711]

Yup.

There's a lot of people that don't want that.
Seems like druid 2.0 tbh.

[Sondrelk]

No... The armor on the human figure.

Hmm. Good question. Looks like some kind of generic blue armor with a yellow shirt under.
Not too used to seeing armor on that specific model.

They're questioning the armor on the female model in the background. It looks to be new armor and not in game.

[huth]

As it happens, I would be doing said conversion for my Patreon backers if it ends up being real. It's what I do (conversions to PF1/PF2/5e) for going on my 4th year now. Feel free to PM if that's something which interests you.

I guess that involves a lot of coming up with critical successes/failures and migrating between the different class building approaches.

Oh, and figuring out proper action costs.

[Hyrja]

Yea its photoshopped, look at the "horns" on the human model, looks like its painted on.

[Cheezits]

Yup.

I personally don't want to play something that crawls around on 4 legs and swats at things like a kitty cat. I don't think I'm alone.

I would've preferred the true drakonids but Blizzard probably deemed them "too ugly" for players.
