Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[KainneAbsolute]

Evoker looks cool, but I'm wondering if you HAVE to remain in the scaley form in combat. The human forms look really cool, but I get kind of uncomfortable with the scaley look.

Same feeling. I would prefer the human form, but many animations are breath powers...so I guess they are in dragon form...

[Chickat]

Is there no budget this time round????

Zones don’t look new

New race is mega ugly

Nothing in the old world

Yeah, I did notice some of the textures and models seemed low detail, but wasn't sure if it was just me.

[Jodmos]

No, it's one of each

I got 1 of each but then one of them said something that made me thing there were 2 DPS specs but it was probably just badly worded.

[rogueMatthias]

There's really not a lot going on in this expansion.

NGL, Pretty sure they could have summarised everything and shown all the shotss in a 3 minute "Features" video like they normally do rather than dragging it out over a load of panels. It's almost like they were putting more emphasis into showing off their new team than they were the game..

The Furries will defile this thing until there's nothing left of it.

Honestly, as much as I love Gnoll, those new models really do look like generic furry costumes. They don't have half the same personality.

[Kiivar86]

Its not a two spec clas though?

They clearly said at least 2 healing specs and a dps spec.

Its a two spec class. From the Dragonflight website for specilaizations for Evokers:

Dracthyr Evokers can fight from mid-range with claws and fiery breath attacks (Devastation) or draw upon the life-giving magic of renewal to bolster their allies (Preservation).

[Redroniksre]

Yup. I get being disappointed with some things, I'm not fully on for Dracthyr and the evoker class...I'll need to see more.

But I saw some people bringing up Torghast and the like a few pages back and I just...I just can't. And I actually like Torghast, but even I won't miss it.

And honestly they did hint at a few things, I feel there's a lot more there than they showed. We'll see in coming months.

But yeah, I actually guffawed when someone listed off warfronts and Torghast and island expeditions. We're actually bringing that shit up as good now? After years of bitching? People really want to complain.

I mean they could of introduced some systems that are not related to player power. I mean expeditions had potential if they were so linked with Azerite. Problem is there doesn't seem to be any kind of cool system, not even for fun ones, just...bare bones.

[Pheraz]

I think the website looks much more promising than this (kinda weird?) dev round-tables situation
https://dragonflight.blizzard.com/en-gb#features

Why do they stick to those round-tables in the last announcements? I think sexual assaulting rock-star-designers are bad, but those announcements had more bite and shut up the instant-booers more quickly. In the long run its neither the hype nor the booers who make the call anyways.

[Khaza-R]

I wouldn't say 100%, they could accommodate it through different animations.

I think best case you might just temporarily shift while using those spells and then shift back immediately after. Hopefully that's and option at least. I agree I am not a fan of the dragon form.

[Mauderkin]

It's made for the woke crowd really.

there is nothing in that makes me want to buy or play it - I think the only thing thatreally caught my interest was the new class talent trees.

"made for the woke crowd", what an incredible criticism lmfao

I guarantee you that there would still be bitching about it, it being useless, etc.

And hell, did they not introduce that dragon riding system?

[Skayth]

So, I am not excited for this.

The new race woulda been cool if it coulda been most classes, and a different base than just another elf/blood elf even.

Disappointed in most of the features that were talked about (really, the ui?). And now, alexstraza is a queen. Hell there were no class combos announced. Hell, they didnt even talk about the systems that more than likely are coming in the flight we choose to follow (they clearly alluded to it)

What I am looking forward too? The talents, the professions, and the world. As much as I am ragging on it, my favorite thing to do in the expansion is level and read the story, and it does seem interesting enough to do that.

Am I gonna buy the digital deluxe version like I did for all the previous? Probably. But I ain't gonna preorder. I'll play it for like a month or 2, then toss it to the side until the last patch. Play through the rest of game.

Unless something changes, I think that this xp is gonna be a misfire.

The Dragonriding system

[Hugnomo]

[JDBlou]

"made for the woke crowd", what an incredible criticism lmfao

What does that even mean? What is SJW about it? Does the existence of transgender and other minority developers terrify them?

[Chickat]

Tuskarr are back, no they aren't playable. Blizz is just rubbing it in.

Maybe a future allied race?

[Draedarr]

Think it was obvious a dragon would swoop in an save him.

On the other hand 10000 years stuck at the edge of the sea, there is no way he wasn't going to be eroded like the other one.

Now, is right to continue calling him Ugly Dude though?

And it was on one of the leaks from yesterday, that people were saying it was Garrosh

[Hugnomo]

[Cheezits]

I find it funny that they reused Belf instead of simply making a slimmer male human, which is what everyone has wanted.

[Redroniksre]

I guarantee you that there would still be bitching about it, it being useless, etc.

And hell, did they not introduce that dragon riding system?

Dragonriding does look good, and i even suggested something like that to replace flying so that it wasn't so boring. Thing is, if it is only related to that dragon mount, and it won't carry over to other mounts, then it will end up being pretty useless when it just goes away at the end of the expansion. (I hope this isn't the case, but you never know)

[Buliwyf the Omen]

Do we have some (new) more pictures of male Dracthyr? Anyone?
