Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Deventh]

Also, it was @Axaron who leaked it. Let's give the man some credit because I think the pics are real.

[huth]

Scaleface confirmed the pics to be real, so that is irrelevant at this point.

"Confirmed". Nothing is confirmed at this point, beyond that Blizzard had Dragonflight on their website.

[Le Conceptuel]

It's just "dragonsworn" or whatever you want to call it, but with a different name.

I'd figure that to be likely, since classes always very explicitly tie into the main expansion theme (and usually the box character, too), but I am confused by the use of the name to begin with. I'm sure they could've just wanted something more general than Dragonsworn, but I do wonder where evocation of any kind connects to this.

[OnlyOrcsMatter]

Where's the Battle-Mage, tank/melee spec.

[Deventh]

That is fair and true. Poor choice of words on my part.

Pretty good fake if it isn't real though. So good job regardless.

[Teekey]

I still don't get why people have such a hard on for the old talent system. It was boring as fuck.

That said, the leaked one looks a bit more like Artifact Weapons meets Conduits than the old Talent system. Willing to see how it works before passing too much judgement.

My question is how he got this—he seems to have a whole lot of information (some of which contradicts @Scaleface), including on the Evoker class which it seems odd to believe he was able to procure. He's been on this site for some time, and I don't know how he'd suddenly get ahold of this.

And that Alexstraza is on the promotional art....

[Vladier]

So, can anyone summarize a hundred last pages or so? I can see there are some interesting pictures of an alleged new race, but it seems to be a more recent thing.

I'm assuming it has something to do with the class fantasy. Maybe it's because they don't want your character feeling like they have to beholden to dragons just because you use their power?

I don't know what he thinks he's leaked but those Saurok Argonian toy dragon looking lizard abominations are not real.

[Deventh]

Scaleface didnt leak the pics it was someone else.

It was @Axaron

B-but, it was so roleplaying Game-ish and you also had all these different options and build paths, and there werent any cookie cutter specs at all. They also played so vastly different with the overall 10% different stats gained there in the Frost tree and there in the Fire Tree.

[Merin]

That is literally the worst looking race I've ever seen in an MMO. It looks like it crawled off of some fetish page.

[DevilDare]

Wait there are people legitimately that upset about Pandas and Vulperas running around? I thought it was just a forum meme.

"Testatement of what Blizzard has become". Jesus fucking Christ get a grip.

That made me laugh lol.

[Bsirk]

New PTR build btw

[Le Conceptuel]

IMO

Looks like the paws of a Panda, Legs of a Worgen, Human arms, and Torso may be slightly altered and custom head. IF it is true, how come they can stand up straight and Worgen still can't .. (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

Could it not be a custom model in a private server somewhere? I don't believe Blizz would go in this direction.

The torso is also slightly comparable to that of uncorrupted Arakkoa.

A great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I fear something terrible has happened....

The supposed new talent system looks neat though.

Pandaren are way fucking cooler than Vulpera and these dragons, you get a grip and don't lump them together.

Also quote me fr if you're gonna quote me
