Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Teriz]

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.

It doesn't need to be full sized. It's never needed to be full size. Just make it slightly smaller than a mount.

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.

Druids are the most popular class in WoW, so you might be.

Could be a flashback from when Alextrasza was enslaved by orcs using the Dragon Soul?

This here. That person looks like it's captured that dragon.

[Nightshade711]

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

If they could fake the dragon race I wouldn't be surprised if they could fake armor too. But it does look a bit familiar.

For the sake of argument, assume that talent UI is real.

That means there would be 528 class-specific talents and 1260 spec specific talents, if all the classes/specs had the same amount. You really trust them to balance that? Lmao.

[Sondrelk]

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

Honestly, I think that if they wanted to have players turn into dragons during combat, they should either make it a spell effect, like materializing a dragon head or tail. Or just turn the player into a whelp, or other smaller dragon.

Then outside combat you can have a racial/utility that turns you into a full dragon.

If that talent tree is not fake you'll end up unlocking all of it anyway, maybe leaving out one of the last spells on the bottom.

I also imagine 80% of that stuff is 2% or 5% here or there so yeah.

But then the race would be a reskinned all-races AR with horns. Unless you mean letting this creature turn into a full dragon, which I think may still be possible.

:O

As a fan of POE i like this talent system leak a lot, pls be true.

:O

Looks cool.

It's just a Tier 19 hunter recolor. if not, I know I've seen it somewhere.

[m4Zzo928]

Are those nipples on the unarmored model? Why would anyone think that is real? I would seriously, seriously doubt that is real.

I'm not seeing any pepperoni's. More like dents or scales.

Presumably a lot of those would be "Increase critical strike by X%". Or "Decrease cooldown on Y ability". For all you know it could be that you have an ability that increases the strength of Recklessness for instance, and then at the end an ability that replaces Recklessness with a new ability.

What? Where did you see nipples lol.

[Teriz]

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

I bet more people want that than what we're seeing in those images.

[Raetary]

???
It's a flat, scaly, lizard chest.
What images are looking at to see nipples?

[cocomen2]

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;

Nah, this is dragon form that people want, if we going to speak for other people, then why not.

[Nightshade711]

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

To be fair they've wanted to add Drakonid before.
And they've added Kul Tirans, Mechagnomes... etc.

But I do agree with you playing an actual dragon doesn't seem appealing at all. If I wanted to play a four legged beast I would roll druid.

I'm not entirely sure, i might have seen it before.

Bigger problem is the fact that she's not weilding any weapons or in combat stance. That's not what the current character creation looks like. So yeah, the whole thing is fake.

[fcwar]

It's just a Tier 19 hunter recolor.

That is incorrect - looks nothing like Eagletalon.

I agree. If they want to keep it distinct from druid then having them transform in dragons for certain spells abilities only would be the way to go. Plus you wouldn't have to worry about the distracting size.

I am not sure if what we are supposed to be looking at is new class or a new race. Or possibly both.

[Deventh]

Its all the same everytime is allways low res

Bolvar got leaked in full HD so not always.
