Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

That dragon race better be fake because it looks like absolute shit.

[rhorle]

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.

Because balance exists. Few options exist. Even then groups still fail at normal raids which means subtracting 10 to 15% dps would mean those groups fail by even more.

Again looks more like Spore than like WoW. Art style just doesn’t match IMO.

Because WoW's art style has changed. Shadowlands was the first major expansion using the new style, and it's just not quite as jarring because all of the zones are so heavily stylized that it's easy to overlook the differences between Schlands and older zones.

/wowg/ and the post got deleted just now. If mine gets deleted just know I have no plans on removing it

where did you get this

[thilicen]

If that is real I'm actually pretty sold despite the horrendous dragon race.

[Mferna]

I think it’s the legs. They’re too long and disproportionate, if they were shorter and stalkier I think it would look great

Then they fail. And will fail until more gear is obtained and nerfs go through.

All of which is a moot point. Comparing modern day raids to a new talent set up is pointless. The tuning may be different going forward. Less damage and more mechanics focused, ect.

Man at this point if the Ugly Dragon and Talent Trees leak is fake it's officially the best gotcha since Awakening (the original one).

Even if it’s changed all the races in Shadowlands still look… Cartoony I guess you would say? Bulbous even. This creation is a stick figure with dragon features and randomly chosen armor to be worn.

What's wowg

Look awesome

I mean it's already been debunked but

Why would they give us this furry mess when the canon interpretation of dragons in wow are non-scalie player races who occasionally turn into full sized dragons? These are like the worst worst worst of both worlds.

So then the talents won't even help with the raids? It is a simple thing that the more options you have the more you will have traps for less skilled players to fall into by picking "wrong" choices. The does impact balance and if you have been a long time players, as in from TBC onward, you would understand this. Because it did exist. It is why "cookie cutter" builds were a thing as it gave everyone the right choices for their class.

Even when you could freely spend points between all trees you wouldn't be very viable for end-game content. Which just caused frustration for the players that just followed options the game allowed but got punished for it because they had not contribution to the group. In a 40-man setting that might work but not in the smaller group sizes of modern wow.

[Yunravel]

Wowsisters is there at chance they might redo the race from scratch if we tell them its uncanny af ?

And that sexualized outfit on top of a non sexualized race. I mean, whats the point ?

Body inclusivity or something like that ?

[Slowpoke is a Gamer]

Where was it debunked?

Someone posted a 12 point thing on why they think it's fake and stitched together from mob textures.

And something about Scalies and Furries.

In short, it's not.

[Chickat]

There are so many crediblish leaks that I have no idea what to think anymore. It's kind of scary and exciting.

[Hitei]

It looks so fucking Divinity 1/2/Dragon Age. Dont get Warcraft vibes at all. Mogu/Arakkoa/Sethrakk died for this.............................

Again looks more like Spore than like WoW. Art style just doesn’t match IMO.

It's fine to not like it, but provide actual reasons, not this totally dishonest "iT dOeSn'T lOoK lIkE wArCraFT" crap. That thing is just an HD Saurok/dragonman model. It's completely in line with other reptiles/dinosaurs/dragons we've gotten over the years, structurally similar to Eredar/Draenei/Worgen/Satyr, and stylistically the same as any other model.

I mean it's already been debunked but

One would assume because they aren't meant to be dragons, they're meant to be a less bestial looking new form of dragonkin.

I don’t know what you mean dude. It looks like it’ll fit alongside everything else just fine. Everyone saying the dragon model doesn’t match the rest of the models in the game need to head to LensCrafters.
