Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

Yeah it’s giving Aura ripoff. Final Fantasy XIV did the scaly Boys and girls way better.

And the dragon form is still pretty hideous, but let’s wait and see…

I hope Envoker is not Dracathyr or whatever their name is exclusive. I want to play one, but I guess 50% of players will be a dragon next expansion and I’d totally avoid that.

Drakkin from EQ way predate Au'ra.

Any leaks regarding male Dracathing? Will it too use female rig or male Worgen and look shitty as fuck?

[Nymrohd]

Personally I think the main problem with Teldrassil/Undercity was that they happened right after the other. Teldrassil should have been the only big event in the pre-patch, then Undercity should have been the 8.1 raid instead of Dazar'alor.

I still don't understand what the point of Dazar'alor is. Alliance achieves their actual goal within the introductory cinematic. WHy is the rest happening?
While I enjoyed the raid, I think it'd have been more interesting as part of the Zandalar Forever scenario on Horde side and as the climax of the Alliance storyline on Alliance. Have Rastakhan die at a different point.

Jesus, more than one nerve was touched. Take a break from the internet if you're so upset. Too many upset mentally ill people here on a 10.0 hype thread. This isn't a counseling session.

Says the person saying others are troll

ay lmao

Okay so what i wish the Devs will announce is at least:
- a new class (i really dont care about a new race tbh, its gonna be ugly anyway if it happens)
- another HUGE feature like Player Housing.

If both don’t happen or no new class only, then i want TONS of AMAZING new character costumization options.

The rid is from the Dreadlord models.

The male model will therefore look akin to this:

Hmm.. all these leaks about the new race but nothing on the class?

Honestly, I’m not buying it. Blizzard has never made a playable race that wasn’t heavily exposed to the player base before hand. Even Vulpera were held back until an avalanche of players demanded they be playable. However, they were just an allied race.

I simply don’t see Blizzard doing something as dramatic as putting out bipedal dragons that we’ve never seen before. They would put out Drakonoids before they did that.

Same goes with classes where Blizzard tends to release class concepts heavily tied to lore characters, and things the player has been exposed to, and demanded.

Perhaps Blizzard has decided to take bigger risks in these departments, but I doubt it.

Teldrassil shouldn't have been in the pre-patch. Now it is cut out and you don't even see why you are fighting the bloody war. I'm not even sure the Battle for Lordaeron is in or not.

I just did the Lordaeron scenario yesterday on an old horde alt (because i'm planning on unlocking Horde AR from BfA), so it's definitely still in.

Damn you, you made me look. It doesn't work at all.

Void Elves literally didn't exist before they were announced, in fact them being included in the leak that got the most things right was the major reason most folks discredited said leak out of hand.

Draenei were retconed to be playable and worgen wer ejust some random mobs in wrath

[therumblings]

There's no flipping way that ugly dragon race is real. People create custom models like that all the time, it's nothing new.

The existence of such a race would achieve nothing. The "human" form overlaps too much with regular "pretty" races and would just diminish the customization options for Humans, Blood Elves etc. The dragon form looks shit and doesn't even use armour, so it would be a temporary form (it would also look dumb in cities and hubs if a bunch of skinny dragons were everywhere). Which brings us back to the first problem, of "hotter" Elves and humans running around among normal ones.

It's 100% real at this point, multiple people confirmed it.

Dragon-races and people with dragon features in general are a standard JRPG/J-fantasy trope. some people just have a weird fixation on thinking everything is from FFXIV.

It's because most WoW players have only played WoW or XIV.

Void Elves are just recolored Blood Elves. Allied Races are not the same thing as bringing out an entirely new, never before seen racial concept.

But unironically BfA reveal was awesome. A great cinematic, a great feature trailer and so many good stuff.
If only Island Expeditions worked. If only we had more than two warfronts. if only the story weren't complete dogshit.
Just imagine if the Battle of Lordaeron were first and Teldrassil second.

I hated the bfa cinematic, for sure the worst of all of them. Would have preferred the Alliance and Horde fighting across different Azeroth locations similar to the cata trailer.

And we had encountered both long before their release as playable races. Some people actually wanted Draenei and Worgen to be playable.

Didn't worgen get an entire manga? Was that released after Cata? I get my timelines mixed up

Not debating that, but seeing how Blizzard is copying so much stuff from FFXIV recently, it’s just the first comparison that came to my mind.
