Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

I feel like there has been a lot of misdirection this year from previously accurate leakers, idk man, I don't trust anyone at this point, not even the scale dude.
He has been vague all this time, he has not provided any in-depth * details whatsoever.

Man, I've always wanted to tank as a dragon though, we've been fighting them since the game released, it's about time we can play as them and tank as well, and I don't mean a dragon race wearing a sword and a shield, I want a druid-like dragon form

They've said the class has a dragon form of some kind and the healing spec is based on Alexstrasza/has lots of breath stuff; IMO there's still plenty of potential for one of the DPS specs to be melee heavy at least.

I really do feel you though *stares deeply at the concept in my sig*

[Amaterasu65]

Any mage related leaks? Talents etc

Yeah, your Dragonsworn class concept is what I've had in mind as well, also similar to what Teriz has been wanting.
But while fans always create the coolest concepts, we end up getting something half-baked instead, I really hope Blizzard proves me wrong though

WOW, IS THAT A VAGUE CRYPTIC LEAK, DAMN THAT'S SO UNIQUE AND COOL, ABSOLUTELY MYSTERIOUS

God damn these dudes are so cringe

[Zanes]

This isn't exactly how I feel.

The Dragon models look EXACTLY like WoW.... at least their new art style. The problem is the new art style is out right jarring against the old art style of Stormwind.

The neew Druid travel form has a very similar problem. It doesn't "fit". And I think the Dragon thing is exactly that. It's not that it doesn't fit WoW. It's that it doesn't fit WoW's old artstyle, which has taken a pretty drastic art style shift in the last few expansions.

Dunno man, I think the eyes are very concerning, they don't look like other dragonkin we have in WoW, they should at least have a lizard eye.
Also I don't think they would make them so uninteresting, so few details at the chest, for a player character

[Nyel]

So… has there been anything deemed true or most likely real that has been leaked in the last 7 days? I didn’t make it to the forums since last week.

I’ve read about Envoker, that ugly ass dragon race ect., but I can’t make up my mind. I know it’ll get revealed in 10 hours anyway, but still.

Can someone give me a short update?

I think that small details like that are pretty often the last to be put in. Tattoos, scarring, eye glow, scale pattern, anything similar to that. We aren't likely to see that until alpha or beta proper starts. Maybe some "Here's the customization options" panels.

One screenshot does not the concept make.

Possibly the talent tree revamp, just because we have 3 different screenshots of that

Some pretty convincing talent tree leaks, that seem to be getting more high res and detailed by the hour. The first person to share those was also the one to share the Dracthyr images, and maintains that Evoker is a 3-spec class with DPS/DPS/Healer and the healer is based on Alexstrasza/has several breath abilities and fire+some kind of dragon form.

I will judge the dragon race when I see it with animations.

Thanks.

Love, love, love the talent trees.

I dig the idea of an Envoker class.

Absolutely hate what I saw of that supposed new playable race, lol.

Who posted the HQ Logo initially?

[Ilir]

I want evoker to be real.

I want the dragon to be real.

Also, I hope blizzard does a MOP 1 year sub like they did back when they announced MOP + diablo 3 was to be released.

1 year sub : you get access to DF beta, d4 for free and a mount

also hi, it's been awhile

A burner named something like "Hello MMO Champion"

For the most part, 10 or 15% DPS isn't going to make or break a raid at the level most people play at. And if it is, the skilled people who just enjoy playing in a relaxed setting will step it up for that fight and make up the difference.

So people can just create extra dps? If a skilled person isn't already playing at their potential then they aren't that skilled. 10 to 15% dps can certainly mean the difference between killing a boss or not even on normal. You can swap specs now because Blizzard does a good job of keeping things balanced or at least competitive.

I also doubt everyone would be having fun if the reason they are not killing a boss is a specific person who picked specific talents that don't provide that are actually hurting the group. I think you are massively under estimating the impacts of balance and detrimental options for the sake of philosophy. This isn't even a new thing because back in the day with the old talents there were still choices that even Blizzard acknowledged as "traps".

I managed to sleep an entire 3 hours. The hopium for dragon race is too real even though I keep telling myself it won't happen

[Rhlor]

so cool!!!

None of that is a problem in normal raids to the degree where any of that matters. Any class, at the moment, with any talent configuration right now can do well enough in normal raids.

And, frankly, yes. "Skilled" people slack off. That has nothing to do with skill as much as just drive.

Go to sleep, time will fast forward for everyone and you'll be a savior
