Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

That's false equivalence. How do you explain all these other inconsistencies and modeling errors?

Are you asking me how Blizzard could have errors in a pre-alpha thing? I dunno, man.

Why do we keep calling that model Scalie/Furry?


I promise you no furry or scalie was involved in the creation of that model, if they were, it would've turned out much MUCH better. That fandom doesn't play around when it comes to quality js.

Honestly, the high quality is what has me convinced. There's far too many obvious errors for this to be a real model, and using these preexisting animations is also awkward, but I think the high texture quality and the style of the model betrays it's absolutely a Scalie edit.

Alpha baby.

These are some pretty huge errors for a reveal-ready race. The mesh errors are pretty damning, and there's also all the design problems I pointed out, like the small heads.

I will delete my an account if it's real.

Much better thanks for fixing that.

[Deventh]

I have no idea who Scaleface is, on the life of my entire family. Alright now I'm going to go play HotS be good my dudes

It's the other guy in the thread who leaked Envoker and the dragon race in riddles and leaked an image from the supposed cinematic:

Alpha baby.

This.
Imagine looking at BFA and SL at launch and asking how Blizzard could have anything short of perfect before alpha even hits.

[Chickat]

I like them too

I like them with some very big model changes, but they have a lot of potential.

So are we back to Dragonflight expansion name and Alexstraza leaked art as the only confirmed leaks thus far?

You clearly don't remember what worgen looked like at Blizzcon.

Tinker confirmed

I wonder what the quest is for, since no WoW player does quests just for fun in 2022.

Hmm maybe the pre-patch? It is interesting shipments of something is coming to SW and Org...

Maybe we're doing that whelp-raising thing (referring to the stables bit).

A serious mesh error, the wings clipping (and also not being attached to the model properly from the get-go), and damning design inconsistencies that aren't just a result of the quality of the model are all just the result of alpha models? Plus, this expansion is almost certainly very far along in development given how late it's being revealed and Blizzard have never once had this many identifiable errors in a single model during a reveal presentation. For example, look at the Fat Kul Tirans in the BfA Beta, who were fully modeled and had no serious errors or design inconsistencies.

Stormwind feels like a weird place for that but could be.

In lore orcs once controlled the red dragons. Could this be a flashback?

[Shadochi]

A spec that heal with (life)fire partially by cautarizing? *thinking emoji*

[Beefhammer]

People love saying it's from a private server or another game but somehow they mysteriously can never provide proof of that.

And my brother's nurse's barber is a doctor (but not a medical one) and he says it looks legit.

Same goes for the leakers, yet many are too quick to believe them with no proof of authenticity.

Point out a single, objective error on par with the errors I pointed out on this model.
