Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Buliwyf the Omen]

I'm not looking forward to the male dragon race being epic and bamf looking and the female looking like an afterthought. The dragon version of the femworgen's deranged chihuahua

Please just let it be this.

Looking at Worgens and Tauren it wouldnt surprise me. They all look ten times better, and for Worgen even thirty times.

Lets just hope the male dracthyr... is one mean lizard.

[Cheezits]

I don't think it's that goofy honestly. Though I do think it should have no wings and a larger head.

Wait I'm just describing the, again, Drakenoid-type silhouette. Just with a less silly head.

I think they can work on the head size. However, you know 100% that casual players would bitch HARD about a dragon class without wings.

"thats not a dragon wtf where are the wings"

So they had to make a new race.

[Lazarel]

My god, this is incredible. You were behind all of these?!

But you should have used the earlier Awakenings logo for the map fake imo. Although I do love the custom border you made for the newer one.

Also, that's probably more or less exactly what the Wrath Classic logo will look like.

Bravo.

thank you <3

[Archmage Xaxxas]

Not to be rude but if the other features are good, why would that kill your hype? You dont need to play a new race if it isnt your taste. I mean probably 90% of all FFXIV players think Hrothgars look like trash.

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.

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.

[Teriz]

If the class and race leaks are real...I'm actually losing all hype.

I think the race leaks are real. I'll be honest, as bad as they are, they're top tier among dragon-races in MMOs.

[Luxanna]

I personally love it.

Exactly the concept i wanted (mortal+dragon form, can be any core race) and i really like the design.

This is what i wanted too. Hope we can pick a race and have dragon features similiar to Alexstrasza and Ysera.

Pandaren dragon people.

Please. Please, I beg you, Blizzard.

[Prenderghast]

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

I'm gonna go ahead and say that I like them, too. I'm not actively hyped about it, but I do like it. *If* these screenshots are legitimate, I have a hunch that this is the female model and the male model would be a bit bulkier. Either way though, I don't hate the model, and I think given enough time I could get excited about it.

Hopefully they lift some transmog restrictions, though, because just like Worgen, I think these dragonbois will look best with minimal armor.

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.

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.

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.

[AOL Instant Messenger]

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.
