Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Syegfryed]

See my previous post, and Marla's post.

god fucking dammit

[draugril]

I can't say I'm excited, intrigued definitely as I love my aura in ffxiv.

I'll never forgive FFXIV for showing us the concept art for the Au Ra... so different (and better) than what was actually made playable.

[therumblings]

This reveal will be wild. Either a tons of "told you so" or tons of "wait, what?"

Scaleface is going to get a shitload of apologies that's for sure

[Wangming]

He says, posting on page 1228

Hell are you talking about? You are on page 2456

[Hitei]

What classes would the dragon race have access to? Let’s talk about that.

Druid? Scaly feral forms would be cool, but doubt it.

Paladin? No.

Shaman? No.

Monk? No.

Priest? Maybe?

DH? No.

DK? No.

Warrior? Yes.

Hunter? Yes.

Rogue? Uhm…

Mage? Yes.

Warlock? Maybe?

Dunno why you'd make these assumptions.

Probably not paladins.

Shamans yes, the entire start of the aspects and flights was that they had the special innate ability to use elements, one of the flights is wholly devoted to an element, two others constantly use them.

Probably not monks because awkward animations.

Priest, yes plenty of twilight using drakes.

DK, yes. (no reason not to now that the DK intro, like Exile's Reach isn't time setting specific.

Warrior, hunter, rogue, yes.

Mage yes, warlock yes.

Druid potentially because the entire green flight is druidic.

So: Priest, Mage, Warlock, Rogue, Druid, Shaman, Hunter, Warrior, DK.

It's not debunked is what I'm saying

But neither is it proven. And for what it's worth, it looks a bit to much like rubber forehead elf to me, like what they do in Japanese animation, not Blizzard's style.

[ImTheMizAwesome]

See my previous post, and Marla's post.

Maybe not totally debunked, but less credible than it was before.

Gf of that some boyfriend that works at blizz just would send that to her friend and said "post it on mmo champion"? :P

Or someone is just being a bad friend here.

[Rathwell]

We're on page 2457

Only if you haven't set it to 40-comments-per-page yet

[ercarp]

We're on page 2457

They've probably changed the posts per page setting.

[KayRule]

Dunno if nobody has noticed cus it's so late/early, but all the images hosted on Imgur have been taken down by Blizzard, if you needed any confirmation the Dragon race, evoker class and talents were real.

[therumblings]

They've probably changed the posts per page setting.

Oh, I forgot you can even do that. Well I still consider default to be the canon number of pages

[LalaGamer]

For me its also 2457.

[TriHardBanEvader]

I suppose if the dragon race got druid as a class then we could potentially get some badass looking dragon-forms to tank, heal and dps in, so that could be dope even though I'd much rather have a class based around dragon gameplay

talent tree revamp hype

[ercarp]

The ones I've rehosted (also on imgur) on my spreadsheet haven't been taken down though.

Oh, I forgot you can even do that. Well I still consider default to be the canon number of pages

It is. I'll always use the forum default.

[Soulwind]

That’s why I said the new race makes only sense to be directly bound to the new class and both require each other.

Everything else would be so weird.

So a race with a single class? Considering we've seen a customization screen with a human on one side, and all pictures of the dragon form show them without gear or weapons, I'm leaning towards it being an "advanced" metamorphosis, which allows players to customize their dragon form, but only a bit. Those dragon forms would be shared between all races that could be this class, and maybe the humanoid character also has a few customization options (there was an image of a human with scales, fin-like ears and horns), but this would probably limit the number of races that have access to said class.

[KayRule]

Also this one


Uses the textures already found in-game by Martinums

[therumblings]

all the images hosted on Imgur have been taken down by Blizzard

For real? I was just on one of them, is it possible whoever uploaded it took it down themselves?

[Graden]

1229 for me. I love 40-comments-per-page, never going back.

[Teriz]

How do we know that Blizzard took them down?
