Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[TheramoreIsTheBomb]

I hope they ban all of the trans and homophobes in the Twitch and YouTube chat. So childish, immature, and just downright trolling behavior

[Cheezits]

Anyone else surprised that there's no new gameplay system?

This feels a bit like filler again. But I guess they need 900000000 years for the revamp.

[Varodoc]

Guys don't worry, Lordaeron/Quel'Thalas revamp will come later in the expansion.

They haven't added any system at all. No, colouring a stupid dragon isn't a system. This means they'll have more resources for meatier patches. Don't worry, the time of Quel'Thalas and Lordaeron will come and with it will come the time of the Void and the Light.

The speculation and theories from 9.2.5 will pay off in Dragonflight, you'll see.

[Blayze]

Craft orders, glad to see that.

They can finally delete trade chat.

[JDBlou]

Surely the Dracthyr race-class limitation speaks to the people who feel monks should have been Pandaren only?

[Shammyrock]

Who greenlit a UI discussion in this

[Magenugget]

Don't give a shit about dragons but thank god they do a talent revamp.

[Yossarian]

Am I DRUNK or is that Holinka? I didnt pay attention.

yes he was

[Sondrelk]

I more mean extraneous additional systems, like Island Expeditions/Warfronts. I like the expansion as it is! I'm excited.

Same here!
So long as the dungeons, raids and other endgame activities are solid i am good.

[Arafal]

Ha, they took the quality system from FF14.

[Mauderkin]

I do not envy the people who have to deal with the moderation of chats on the internet where gamers are. It's always fucking awful.

[Alanar]

The way they show us, new centaur, tuskar and appearntly VRYKUL are also a thing again! but not making any of them fucking playable, is just a slap in the face.

No, I am stuck with some reskinned demon hunter model, which I never liked anyway, being stuck with THE new class. This is really terrible for me honestly.

Here is hoping Dk, shadowpriest or paladins get some really cool new talent options..

Damn, I was hoping to be little bit more excited after another expansion reveal.. but hey I am getting older.

[Makabreska]

I meant race combo. Even the DH can have 2 races.

Realistically one race, since it is tied to faction. You wont change it willy-nilly because it means faction swap.

[ClassicPeon]

You don't want to play the single new class/race which can't be anything else? Or perhaps you don't like the Pandaria 2.0 hidden continent that just shows up now which we need to help the dragons with?

Who is forcing you to play the new class/race?

[Khaza-R]

You have to fight against the pull of gravity so it implies that flying, as we know it now, will be unlocked after leveling up the Dragon riding skill tree. Until then you get short flights or gliding. So not really different but probably just locked to the expansion system mount until X time when you could fly with any mount with out the skills/abilities.

Which is at least better than just taking flying away completely and then creating some arbitrary barrier why you can't use it. There's actual progression with this new system and that's fine. My original point still stands though, I doubt you will be able to use any other flying mount in the Dragon Isles. I am sure they will turn into an inevitable shitshow at some point.

[Nymrohd]

So I am not particularly excited about this xpac because it does not bring any feature that blows me away. But the theme is OK, there are some much needed revamps so if they actually deliver content on time it will likely be a fun ride.
I'll always be hoping for more cause I am greedy but at the end of the day the expansions that promised more than just the usually content cycle were Cataclysm (World Revamp, xpac did not end up that good, the revamp had great highs but also serious lows), WoD (almost everything shown in the announcement was delivered in a much worse form or scrapped) and Legion (which delivered everything it promised, though could definitely have used more work and had poor content in the middle only saved by MT)

I don't think childish and immature even covers it, could you imagine if they were posting these kind of comments over a black person? It's so weird to be in 2022 and there's so many apes out there with brains wired like it's the stone age.

[Makabreska]

Guys don't worry, Lordaeron/Quel'Thalas revamp will come later in the expansion.

They haven't added any system at all. No, colouring a stupid dragon isn't a system. This means they'll have more resources for meatier patches. Don't worry, the time of Quel'Thalas and Lordaeron will come and with it will come the time of the Void and the Light.

Oh, we are no worried at all. You on the other hand, with your increasingly desperate posting...

[rhorle]

They haven't added any system at all.

Dragon Riding is a system. It is essentially a Legion Artifact but as a mount. It has its own skill tree so unless you are just looking for irrational hatred you can't dismiss it as a system.

[Draedarr]

Yep I turned it off, I can't with those people judging on appearances rather than on the quality of someone's work.

OK, so I'm overall a bit underwhelmed... but some things seem very nice. I guess there is room for fun in that expansion! I'm still really intrigued at all the revamp hints we got which lead nowhere (hi human buildings)? Or those are linked to "time excursions" in the Bronze zone perhaps?

I'm excited for the ideas and areas.
could be for time excursions, as there are a zone for the Bronze Dragons.
