Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Teriz]

I think at this point Dark Ranger/Necro/Tinker are all dead in the water.

Tinker isn’t. There’s enough clues from BFA and Shadowlands and connected lore that keeps them in contention.

An Alexstraza-based dragon class has the higher chance though.

[Gurahk]

Can somebody post the supposed cinematic shot again?

[ercarp]

I'm pretty sure you did a fake leak in the past and this sounds pretty absurd, I don't believe it. Also your forgot a comma, so it's obviously wrong.

No no, I swear this time it's 100% correct and real!

You. I like you.

I'm totally fine with a neutral scalie race, but personally I was hoping for more humanoid dragonkin with visage day and stuff. As for the envoker/evoker or whatever and it's arcane theme, maybe this means more titan/titan keeper stuff?

[Cheezits]

Do we think the dragon customizations will be for envokers or is it locked to the race?

[JDBlou]

Their choice with Monks and the unlocking of DKs make it clear that won't happen. DH are elf-specific because their lore is entirely built around being Night Elves and the group of Kael's forces who went into training under Illidan in Outland (Yes, yes, there's demon hunter 'like' other groups, and groups that could have learned).

It's unlikely some essentially brand new class would be given racial restrictions. They want lots of people to be able to play it.

I'm certainly hopeful, and I think Draenei and Orcs would've made wonderful Demon Hunters. I remember seeing fan art here years back and thought it a missed opportunity now; but I understand where they were coming from when they made it elves only.

I'm sad this thread doesn't have a hypetrain image, or a funky subway image.

There has been a leaked pic of human woman that looks like she has Alex-type customizations.

[Nyel]

Something that just struck me. Dragonflight seems to be a spiritual successor to MoP. New continent we don't know much about, new neutral race, new class tied to that race and continent. It would be fitting if the new class is Evoker. There are Scarlet Evokers in the Scarlet dungeons, just like there were Scarlet Monks in the Scarlet dungeons in classic. Mop revamped the Scarlet dungeons, so if DF is a spiritual successor to MoP, then it makes sense to have revamped scarlet dungeons again.

Wasn’t BfA the spiritual successor to MoP?

I'd hope it's for the class and it's like DH with additional customisations for the races able to play the class.

[Hitei]

Almost certainly race.

They are probably called Evokers because they are evoking the power of the dragonflights, not actually becoming dragons or anything.

It was 100% fake

You're totally gonna die on that hill arnt you? I seriously cannot see Blizz adding more than 1 class.

There is a hypetrain actually! @Arafal made it.

[Wangming]

Why tho? They don't use racial starting zones anymore.

There is a choice between whatever island and the old ones. And whatever island sucks balls.

[delphiskye]

Literally cannot hold a candle to them, lmao.

you no take candle!

There has been a cinematic image leak!? Where where where!?

[therumblings]

The Scaleface cinematic leak is the only one that hasn't been proven fake yet

[Blayze]

All this "envoker" mockery reminds me of one of my old guildies (English wasn't his first language), who once announced his presence on TeamSpeak with the phrase "Good evnonk" instead of "Good evening."
