Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[TriHardBanEvader]

They couldn't make a badass looking dragon race, could they?

They just had to cater to the scalies / furry community?
Wtf is wrong with this company

[DarkAmbient]

Anyone wondering where /wowg/ is, go to 4chan's /vg section and search for warcraft, you'll see it.

[horizon nowhere]

So if those dragons ARE legit do we want them to be tied to the Dragonflights or to be their own side thing not part of the Flights? Because I'm leaning the latter myself. I worry if they're tied to the flights that really limits their potential.

I'm hoping they're just a race native to the new continent and the class will be more tied to the dragonflights/aspects. Copium overdose here I come..

[Slowpoke is a Gamer]

You know what the worst thing about the "leaked" race is? It looks like they will have a face similar to worgens so most helms will look weird. At least we can hide it.

On this note can we please get a transmog update so I don't have to go back to the vendor just ot hide my helm again?

14 doesn't make me do that. Classic doesn't make me do that.

[Nymrohd]

Yeah that looks like a humanoid winged gecko. Not like a dragon. I raise the spine of doubt. Go back to Argonia

To build hype I recommend everyone to watch this

Don't worry bro. Their lore, background and very existence will be ignored like every other new race/class after Cata.

[Rhlor]

Looks more like alextrazsa armor IMO

a red dragon wearing alex style armor is somewhat believable

[Ferlion]

As for the race, I rather like it. At least on first glance. Animations will make or break it, as will clothes.

I think that unless they paid major attention to clipping, it'll suck though.

[Ersula]

Then remove talents and gear all together.

Because Trinkets are the same thing. Can be a thousand DPS give or take.

Or, alternatively, balance is already loose enough, and will continue to be loose enough that it just won't matter.

I'm still not hearing how bringing back talents is improving anything. They don't redesign major systems on a whim.

[SunspotAnims]

If I didn't know any better I'd think I just woke up from a coma in 2011 at the MoP announcement by how much everyone is claiming to be the arbiter of what races do and don't "belong" in Warcraft.

When will you learn?

I went to go look to see if I found anything that leaked, saw an image of a female draenei doing sexual things, exited out instantly.

You are right. So they must have realized letting people customize their characters instead of going in with a basic loadout was much more in line with RPG thematics.

Because that is, essentially, what the current talents are. "Loadouts". Every Druid is the same. Every Warrior is the same. Every everything is the same.

Could be a local. Looks disappointing. Would not play.

[rhorle]

All of which does not matter to the average player.

It did back then and it will now. The average player will be at a disadvantage if they don't know what to pick and what not to pick. There is no guarantee it will be balanced close enough because Blizzard struggled back then and ultimately lowered choice to make balance easier. There were talent choices that gave less performance then others. That isn't a scaling issue but a choice actively working against the characters potential.

There were other issues then just talents in early games but with the knowledge you seem to have it is silly to ignore that not all talent choices were viable.

Us scalies/furries have a lot of disposable income and love shit like that, so....

There will "always" be better and worse options. If there weren't, they should jsut remove all talents. All gear. All everything.

Or, let people play how they want to play. And if it negatively impacts them to the point where they have to change, they can decide to change. Or not. Either way. Everyone wins.

The idea that everyone has to play "Like you", and ultimately that is exactly what this boils down to... That they are playing the game how they want to and not how you want them to (royal you, not you specificially) is just nonsense.

[Zanes]

It looks like they cut an Argonian head from Skyrim and pasted it onto a hairless worgen

I agree, they look like Argonians from ESO but with wings

[horizon nowhere]

I'm saying I think everyone who wants to be a dragon, would rather be a whole-ass dragon. It's a compromise that's worse when they didn't need to compromise at all. Give us huge ass dragon forms.

I mean yeah. I'd rather be a dragon not some derpy gecko with wings..
