Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[AOL Instant Messenger]

I pointed this out and someone said...I mean I guess they're kinda translucent on the webbing? You can kinda squint see the SW flag. It's hard to tell with how LQ it is.

...I reiterate, if we get this monstrosity and still can't get full time wings on DHs and Meta flight form, that's a travesty.

Ah, that's fair. Scaleface seems to be often a little confused by what he sees (understandably, given he's probably only getting secondhand information) so it may just be an honest mistake on his part assuming he's really telling the truth to begin with. I am still a little suspicious since it seems to be far less believable than his Legion leak, where he really did act like he only had secondhand information. He gets a little too cocky in this one and acts far too overt about it. Then, the cinematic still is also very hard to disbelieve.

About the UI thing. One of the leakers who posted the images earlier said the ingame interface & UI is getting complete overhaul.

Vulpera taking over Orgrimmar was bad enough. I just don't even want to see these things, and I was genuinely looking forward to a new race in general.

If it's these, I miss out on the new race because I have moral standards. If it's these, I have to tolerate the canon reality that they're running around Org and SW too, looking fucking ridiculous.


And why? Because they're testament to Blizzard's Fall, and that's not something I was hoping to see.

LMFAO, imagine these goddamn lizards dancing around in Orgrimmar in a line infront of a Vulpera Squad.

My god, to think what this Game was back in the day.

Pandaren dragon people.

Please. Please, I beg you, Blizzard.

oh MY GOD that would be amazing!

[Niwes]

I'd kill to see the like/dislike ratio on the Video on YouTube if those pictures are not fake.

if this is real, this will create the biggest shitstorm in wow history.

[Cheezits]

That's precisely what it reminds me of! It looks too defanged. It especially would be awkward after all the scandals to go back to making cartoon-tier "delicate" female races when now would be a good time to start making them look more interesting.

I'm pretty sure this has less to do with artists sexy tendencies and more to do with basic market desires with men wanting to play big buff boys and girls wanting to be slender and pretty.

Yes, there are exceptions. But this is lowest common denominator marketing.

[Shadochi]

I feel like I'm the only person that likes these dragons.

I like them too

[SniperCT]

The sexual dimorphism is seriously pathetic at this point. If they're actually that bad I truly hope people call Blizz on how fucked that is.

I could almost deal with it if the females actually LOOKED GOOD.

I never got over the Worgen lol I only finally changed my warrior over with the changes in shadowlands and even that isn't...quite what I'd wanted. Still doesn't look feral and angry enough.

[Local Ardenweald Faerie]

oh MY GOD that would be amazing!

There is precedent; look at Lorewalker Cho's family tree in that one Horde quest.

Actually, there's precedent for every race: dragons don't really care who they disguise themselves as.

If they're limited, I will eat a piece of my pants. On stream.

Also, now that I look at it, the bottoms of the wings are a little suspect, too. I don't know what it is, but it looks like the texture might have been copied or the model based off something we already have. It does seem fairly consistent with WoW dragons, though, since they do have the same tips on the wings.



It reminds me a bit of this, too.

[ercarp]

lol, mine was the Final Titan, I’m not even sorry hehe

I actually really liked that one. I think I had it rated a 2/5 on my sheet (which is really good considering almost all of them are 0). I only dropped it down to 1 today as I was revising the sheet and lowering the ranks of the non-Dragonflight leaks a bit.

I made one fake leak this year too but it's kind of yikes lol. But a lot of people thought it was real. Even Bellular covered it.

[Nere]

Do we have any clue how long the event tomorrow will last?

[AOL Instant Messenger]

About the UI thing. One of the leakers who posted the images earlier said the ingame interface & UI is getting complete overhaul.

That lends more credibility, then. That could take several months and would very much be worth teasing.

[Archmage Xaxxas]

Honestly fuck whoever dropped these pictures, just because you killed my hype. I can't even trust these aren't real and have peace of mind. I'm going to wake up fucking mad tomorrow, instead of feeling like it's Christmas.

"LETS GET THIS OVER WITH Blizz..." vs "OOoooo baby what are we gonna see!!"

Pandaren dragon people.

Please. Please, I beg you, Blizzard.

Just add some wings to this picture, and its DONE.

[Teriz]

I feel like I'm the only person that likes these dragons.

Considering some people wanted the Dragon Race to look like this;



I think we dodged a bullet.

I mean there may still be a world revamp, timeskip, housing, dungeon creation, etc etc.

The best part about this leak is not the dragon, it's the talent tree and UI overhaul, which shows that Blizz has some big things incoming.

[Villager720]

The race/class just reusing normal player models + metamorphosis animations/models feels super low effort.

Say what you will about allied races (kul’tiran/vulpera/Zandalar) or demon hunters (only 2 specs), but they took more effort than what I’m seeing here.
They could have at least made a new rig for that dragon form.

I also find it dubious that these would be the images Blizzard would opt to include in a press/teaser pack. Not staged in the dragon isles new environments but just bland Stormwind.

[Mightytasty]

The sexual dimorphism is seriously pathetic at this point. If they're actually that bad I truly hope people call Blizz on how fucked that is.

Agreed. Male and female dragons should look identical.

Maybe take a break from the forums if this gets you so riled up, damn. Going blind to the event might be the best option for you going forward.
