Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

That seems super unlikely though. I don't think the community would like that... It feels cheap to add a new race as a main attraction and give it animations from a warlock's pet...

I don't think anyone except us hyper nerd forum posters will ever even notice.

That's being disingenuous. A lot of pets reuse real-race rigs, a warlock pet is no different.

If anything it makes the warlock pet weaker for reusing a player rig instead of being truly unique. But the Incubus was an afterthought.

@Hipnos14 hey everyone knows you're secretly a freak when it comes to editing your models.

please tell us you're pranking us with this dragon? is it you? I need to see the light again but this whole thing just became so dark.

I wouldn't be too overdramatic. It really looks like Scalie stuff to me and I am doubting its reality for a huge number of reasons—the clipping, awkwardly-meshed model, the weird horns, the incongruity between the human model and the dragon model in terms of clothing, the soft face, the weird chest shape, the familiar, Worgen-like feet etc.

I always like how every image leak is a grainy ass picture and not once has said grainy ass picture been a real thing yet people always eat them up.

One time we got a real image leak it was crystal clear.

[Biruteka]

That’s just the race friend. If the class comes out looking like shit, then I will join you in your rage.

Just looks your profile picture and see what we get, its so bad bro

The second pic actually looked liked it could have been. The new leak stuff doesn't.

I think this also compounds my issue with the Worgen-derived feet. The Sethrak, another reptilian race, don't have the lifted big toe like the Dragon race does, whereas Worgen do.

Wasn't TBC's from a magazine? I don't recall anything about WotLK.

I remember wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy back when, there was a screenshot of the Stair of Destiny framed exactly like a modern day fake leak. Picture of a monitor, dark background, grainy quality.

Same thing with WoTLK but with that burning forest in Howling Fjord. You could see the really ugly alpha Vrykul models in it.

[Teekey]

Do y'all think this this red mist is a racial, or do you think this dragon thing is going to be its own class?

Yeah, it's their racial ability that burns all our hopes and desires of this being good expansion.

[therumblings]

So many pages have gone by I wonder wha- Oh...

lol I appreciate you just being cool with your advice.
admittedly I'm getting out the fury now as to rather not let it sit inside until 9am tomorrow.

Again, just praying this isn't real. Like you said earlier to someone quoting me, not mad about the leak as much as I am the leak being very second-hand embarassing.

WoW finally got normalized enough to be okay to admit casually playing, but not when they add shit like this. No fun being a Closeted-WoW-Fan.

[AOL Instant Messenger]

Not sure. It's very awkward-looking, though, and has no real origin in the Red Dragonflight, which further compounds my suspicions.

[Shadochi]

Do we know from what zone the mists screenshot is?

[Sharby]

I really hope its not legit but if its a redo of the sethrakk rigging with wings and a dragon head i wouldn't be surprised.

I'm pretty sure even Sethrak used Fem Worgen animations no?


Even still, to my knowledge, Blizzard has yet to use anything but original assets for a standalone race (note, allied races are different.) I don't see why they would change it this time around, it would just lend to the idea of the new race being cheap or discount. Not to mention it takes away from the "new" feeling if you're looking at animations that have existed before.

A scalie race is not going to get you made fun of for playing WoW. Relax.

That's 100% why it could be real. Them adding a unique breath for every color of flight doesn't fit with how Blizzard rolls.

They aren't going to add a fire breath, arcane breath, etc. Just a recolor for each one.

[Teriz]

Hang in there, there’s still hope with the class. I really think we’re going to go the Alexstraza HotS route.

[Merryck]

Do we know from what zone the mists screenshot is?

It looks like Azsuna

[boyzma]

So, how many people at Blizzard are sitting back laughing their asses off right now? Think they'd get a kick out of seeing so many posters having coranaries over something that most likely isn't even real.

[Cheezits]

Do we know from what zone the mists screenshot is?

It looks a lot like Azsuna to me but I can't confirm.
