Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Schwert]

thing is we dont need a subrace for them to be added. just add the textures as a barbershop option and have the race change to Darkfallen Hunter/Rogue for NE/HU and Undead Hunter/Rogue for BE/FS using the options

People keep saying human, but that feels like more of a stretch than void elves getting it. They're at least already connected to potential Darkfallen (Dar'khan), while undead humans feel like they'd belong more with the Forsaken unless they make some new lore for them. Being able to play a Nathanos knockoff on Alliance would be weird.

Not against it, I'd play one and plan on making a NE one if we get them, but BE/Forsaken and NE/Velf feels more in line with how the playerbase on RP realms are approaching it.

I still think that while this is a lovely idea that I liked at first, growing a world tree over an Old God corpse is a terrible idea and Grizzly Hills isn't even right over top of Yogg's main bulk the way this would be over C'thun. Still think it matters that the sword is as placed where it was because of what it means for any future Old God plots but I don't want to summon the person

See I like Gilneas but the point about ceding ancestral lands is a good one.

So either regrow/restore Teldrassil, or perhaps buff Nordrassil some how?

I can't think of very many other locations on Kalimdor that would be appropriate.

Also from the day BC launched. He's back now.

Technically we haven't seen him since Deathwing died. He's been conspicuously absent since that moment.

Don't we have jaina's brother on the alliance side now? So there's precedent.

[Chickat]

It's the story of why she decides to become a Girlboss tm and destroy Azeroth. Look how they abused her, and how irresponsible we are! Everything she did to help Azeroth we ruined by not killing Sylvanas when we had the chance! /s

She has just as much reason to go bad as Sylvanas did NGL.

[Ersula]

Alleria will go girlboss next so Sylvanas can make a dramatic return & talk her down.

Establishing two Alliance characters as leaders of a Horde Faction was..... a choice.

I was looking at the post by Frankystein and that dragon looks a lot like Rathalos.

I haven't been able to find a cinematic with Rathalos flying like that, but it does look a lot like him. Wings, head horns, horns on the spine.

[Gloriandus]

Cinematic: Wrathion narrates, he flies around Azeroth like Deathwing did in the Cataclysm trailer. However, instead of wreaking destruction, we see the restoration happening in the world as he flies, ultimately ending up with the big reveal of the Dragon Isles.

My nightmare scenario for tomorrow is it turns out to be Alexstraza Turned Evil and we just do the Sylvanas thing again for a fourth expansion in a row.

[Chickat]

At the rate this thread is going we will reach 3k pages before the reveal.

Im only 2 pages behind you guys now, but I'm logging into retail to do my Legion M+ and 5 timewalking dungeons, so by the time I get back there will probably be 30 pages again.

You know this is the second time today someone's pointed at a cinematic leak and said "I think that's a Rathalos."

yeah but the writers must have forgotten Azeroth dying and the Azerite destroying the land

[Keyalios]

Counterpoint: Legion, BC, and MOP. MOP had Throne of Thunder, BC introduced Belfs, and Legion had the wonderful Suramar.

[Syegfryed]

the forgot that after the pre-patch

Blizzard continuing taking traumatized women and making them go batshit insane and/or evil would continue, so that tracks.

[Vakir]

People can rest of the Scaleface stuff when there's clearly more Season 4 stuff and it has very evidently not been scrapped.

[Ferlion]

Alien: Covenant was a movie

It doesn't matter how many times the funny man with the couch tells me this, I refuse to believe that.

[MyWholeLifeIsThunder]

I still think we won't get any real answers on the sword stuck in Azeroth until she's born and takes it as her own weapon.

[Slowpoke is a Gamer]

They forgot about that the moment we blasted N'Zoth.

I remember Magni basically saying "Ah, we healed Azeroth" right next to the giant sword that almost killed Azeroth.
