Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Chickat]

Not going to lie, tastiest crow I've ever eaten. I'm not mad at all.

You added garlic didn't you? Garlic makes everything better.

I really don't see this take. They look like Humans/BElves with Demon Hunter horns pasted on and then a bunch of multi-colored scaley bits painted on.

If anything it's the scaley bits that clash way too hard. But none of it looks "anime."

Unless you think blue hair = anime in which case 2008 called and they want their hot takes back.

I think it's the general sense of elegance and the unnaturally-colored eyes that really sells it as anime to me.

[Merryck]

It would be cool if some more humanoid appearances were added to the Drak'Thyr, like Gnomes, Night Elves, Human Males. I think that's likely to happen in the future.

[Raetary]

It's weird we didn't see any Nozdormu model.

[Buliwyf the Omen]

Hopefully they can turn into the tamed dragon options so not to feel left out or in the weird ass position of riding another dragon...

My guess is that they'll be able to do both.

You can use the new dragonriding dragons and you can also use your own wings.

Which sounds really fucking fantastic if you ask me.

[Chickat]

Sure, but it doesn't seem to be any big, world-threatening danger. Just a bunch of old enemies that happen to be there. That's a lot more in line with Vanilla than anything else.

Thank God for that. I can finally breath

[Yus atath]

Lol can't tell if sarcasm or not.

Wtf do you mean? If you dont like the game, leave. Go play something else. Yall are so cringy with this constant hate and negativity for WoW.

YES, i’m f*cking H-A-P-P-Y with Dragonflight. Suffer.

Not a wise idea given my pallor. I don't know anything for sure, but I'm starting to think that something's wrong with me after I sparkled when I stepped into the sunlight yesterday.

[Deventh]

I agree with this. Definitely something like that.

[Varodoc]

Since the Alliance and Horde are only sending scientists and researchers in the Dragon Isles, we can expect the two factions to be ignored yet again. They will not send their military to the Dragon Isles.

This means that, unless the revamp of Lordaeron and Quel'Thalas comes in a later patch (not unlikely, since this expansion barely has any system, so they can add more later), then this will be the second expansion in a row where the Alliance and Horde are not featured in any significant way.

I'm sure that will change whenever they develop the storylines in Lordaeron and Quel'Thalas though, with major spotlight for characters like Alleria Windrunner, Calia Menethil, and Turalyon.

[Syegfryed]

Idk about you but I am pretty happy. I can become a Deathwing mini 2.0 just as I wanted to become a Illidan 2.0.

I really dig that black dragonflight look with the fiery beard. If they bulk up the (male) lizard form then its settled.

If you like another shit elf or a human, good for you, i expected to be like the other dragons, who can, you know, CHOOSE your humanoid form, like chromie could turn into a gnome or ebonrhorn into a tauren

If people were ok witht he Lazyness of Demon hunter being exclusive to elves, they can go even further and do this shit and people will be ok with it too

Why have the work to give customizations for other races to look draconic if they can make elf/human, one each and call a day?

[Sondrelk]

Why, when we asked for class sets again, for the sake of class identity, they took that to mean "make all the class sets look exactly the same"?

[IMG]https://wow.zamimg.com/uploads/blog/images/27301.jpg?maxHeight=525&maxWidth=848[IMG]

So it would seem. Though this is also literally what class sets were meant to look like. Armor that convincingly looks like it came from the raid, and which looks like it fits the individual class.
Legion was kinda the odd one out given the first tier set was based on the artifacts, and the last one clearly threw its hands up and didnt even bother making it Legion themed.

"They had to leave it behind when the sundering happened and the elemental energies were seeping from the land. But now that Azeroth is coming back, revitalizing...." (IGN Interview)

Hey that sounds like it could be a good world revamp hook if we let that keep happening.

All the five players left will enjoy the revamp

[Teriz]

After processing this a bit more, i gotta say that the lack of a third spec really sucks. However, I suppose Blizzard was trying to make a anti-DH hero class that did the opposite of what they do.

That said, I like the fact that it’s RDPS/Heal and wears mail.

I also love everything I saw here. Just want more indepth infos on systems. But I got talent trees, so my Nr 1 wish was fulfilled.

[m4Zzo928]

This is the horny class tier set.

Oh cool, right up my alley. Getting some monster hunter vibes coming off that jpeg.

[Matticus777]

Have we addressed how Alexstrasza was able to get to the Dragon Isles, locate the falling Watcher and save it within the span of a few seconds?

Quick! smell my dragon breath to heal!

It really does.
Not really sold on the appearance at all. But I will definitely make an alt for it, and maybe it will even have a gameplay loop I really enjoy.

If it does have a fun gameplay loop I do hope it has a tank spec though. Cannot stand healing, but I also always disliked how I couldnt effectively help my guild much when we were missing a tank with my hunter.

[[Apok]]

Usually we'd get a bunch of panels but there's no Blizzcon.

Also doesn't it feel like the expansion isn't coming anytime soon? Other times they talk about a release period no? They wouldn't even mention the alpha this time.

thats because it will be at least a year wait, they pre-warned us about that with shadowlands s4 and that seasons being 6-8 months are a good length

that leaves us with 10-14 months of shadowlands. i wont be playing s4.
