Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Three Faced Goddess]

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

Thank the gods.

Idk maybe its just artistic differences but EK looks changed in the logo

Could also be that the map is wrapped around a 3D globe, distorting it from the 2D version. However I do expect some revamps either way.

Looks a lot similar to BFA but wings

I was wondering if they would stay true to it and have it be built on the corpse of an old god. Like the dragon isles hold Ysharrjs body in stasis or something when Aman'thul ripped him out of Azeroth.

Might be Xalatath’s body if the theory of her once being an old god that was defeated by the others

Given that the old gods fought each other (unless im mistaken)
And they could’ve trapped her essence in the blade so she couldn’t “go where the old gods go when they die”

[Khaza-R]

I think just artistic differences.

Its really nothing drastic. But the area around Stormwind is definitely different.

Even worse; People believed Evoker (pretty much Mage 2.0) was the next class.

Im so glad that's probably not the class. To be fair I don't think its very cool to be a dragon for every spec either, even if its a cooldown. Maybe 1 spec, but I think it would feel too samey?

Maybe if the cooldowns did something different?

Blue melee spec would be a blue dragon with blue frame breath?
Healer would be red with a healing breath etc?

Still how do you make the specs feel unique if they all turn into a dragon on CD?

Logo has a hint of irridescence to it; maybe they could "recolor" or "Shimmer" it for each dragonflight color for various media.

Thanks! You managed to describe all of the issues I saw with the model, but in a more coherent, less ADHD rambling way than I could. I'm an extremely amateur modeler (just started) and these are some of the mistakes I have made during the learning process. I certainly wouldn't want my models of the quality I make in game.

Indeed, I think this is actually a very excellent model in some ways, it's just that the mistakes are too obvious, too extensive, and the style and method is incongruous.

[Vakir]

I would love this, but sad no new class and no housing. Still probably fake though.

The Invincible wings bit kills it entirely. There's simply no way.

[Chickat]

You guys say dalaran i say grim batol


Honestly, anything but dalaran again, god please no

What if its there, but not as capital city? Just a big zone question hub? Like the main base for the blue flight zone?

[Marlamin]

I'm off to bed. Be good, hype thread! Don't leak literally everything else while I'm gone.

[Chickat]

The cinematic is Alexa flying around for 3 minutes. Scenic route only.

Amazon Alexa? Tinker Dragons confirmed.

Could also be that the map is wrapped around a 3D globe, distorting it from the 2D version. However I do expect some revamps either way.

The shape of Gilneas is markedly different.

[ro9ue]

Is the microclasses one still in the running? Kinda liked that one to be honest.

[Chickat]

We travel back in time. From that previous cinematic leak it looked like Alexstrasza was captured/enslaved. This is Dalaran before KirinTor?

That was on the ground, unless they retcon what Hillsbrad/Alterac looked like.

[AwkwardSquirtle]

OOH, Blues actually taking Dalaran and having that come full circle. That'd be interesting. Would make for a good cinematic.

[Hitei]

There's still literally nothing to substantiate it other than potentially guessing the name right. Still seems wildly impractical.

[Slowpoke is a Gamer]

The shape of Gilneas is markedly different.

Looks like Stormwind loses that giant mountain mass too.

Assuming this means anything and isn't just world map fuckery like that one time I thought Grizzly Hills flooded and it was proof of an Azshara expansion.
