Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Knight of the Astral Star]

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

HAH! Okay, this got me

Were I not afraid of being shooed off, I've actually gotten art of draconic pandaren that I'd like to show. It can work, dammit!

[ercarp]

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

I'm like 94% confident that Scaleface and that other guy are working together to coordinate their fake leaks.

[Archmage Xaxxas]

Why are you on a speculation/ leak thread then? Lol that’s like going thru your parents bank statements tryna figure out where they purchased Xmas gifts and then being mad your not surprised when opening your present….

The person who leaked these (if real) must also think they're bad. They basically tried to ruin the hype for us. I've been following leak/speculation season bi-yearly/per patch and NEVER felt like "oh.. fuck that's BAD" from a leak until now. Because before, Blizz actually at least had something neat instead of offensive.

I've been robbed of 15 hrs more mystery and excitement, filled with DREAD.

The red prince is being slandered !

What a world

Unworthies left and right, the most delicate velvet tongued, unforgetable Red Lizard Majesty himself is getting downplayed here far too much.

I am glad this was shown because it made me realize to drastically reduce my hype levels. I forgot it is Blizzard we are talking about whenever there is something new coming up and this is definitely their current alley.

If I would've seen this tomorrow without seeing it before, I'd probably erase WoW from my mind entirely.

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

"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.

[Le Conceptuel]

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

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.

[Teriz]

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

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.
