    I’m so so happy. This expansion just feels RIGHT. The announcement hasn’t left me with any concerns. I’m excited for the future of WOW

    Like they aren't going to back-update the last 8 expansions with stuff like stats and gear and masteries and "hidden guys in caves and dusty books in a library to teach you how to be a better smith" are they.
    I hope they do this. I would prefer to see the RPG elements restored.

    Was Demon Hunter not the main feature of Legion that made the crowds go wild? Oh? Then what was the main feature of Legion and the main feature of Dragonflight?

    This goes in line with Blizzards latest stance though.

    Its essentially a unisex Dragon Form.

    Neither male nor female.

    MoP with better flying mechanics, much better reputations, and also all the additions from Legion like M+ and World Quests. Sounds like the best of all worlds.

    Couple that with the Raids+ from 9.2.5, and whatever else fun is getting added that we don't really know about and I think this expansion could be a blast.
    The world revamp dream will never die!

    You know even with the scales and horns I can see the potential for something good there. Blizzard just got way too drunk on their own hype I feel like and gave them too much... stuff.

    Hopefully we can turn some of it off and go with a more minimalistic look.

    Can't say I like the new, more lighthearted direction. With the new interest of most gaming media being far darker and grim than this, this feels a little barebones by comparison.

    Generally agreed. They look too anime-esque.

    Reptiles don't have conchocos, buuuttt, they are humanoid too, so I guess they decided not to go with it. Boobs would help the model out though, maybe we can give them some of our much heard taken to heart feedback.

    This shows literally anything can happen, good to remember when next thread comes along with new class ideas.

    I mean the dumbest thing they could come up with happened. New race and class in one, no choice.

    Sometimes, the light of the moon is a key to other spaces. I've found a place where, for a night or two, the streets curve in unfamiliar ways. If I walk here, I might find insight, or I might be touched by madness.

    Which I said was a contender, but will likely lose out due to the theme of this expansion.

    Class having to come from WC3
    I said months ago that Blizzard would likely source HotS for future classes after the Demon Hunter. This is yet another example.

    Demon hunter had illidan and was something expected, and we had the artifacts, that is what made crowds go wild, as you know, people wanted to play other classes

    This is a lazy attempt to mimic the aspects, its ltierally demon hunter 2.0 sold as a "new race", is garbage and lazy

    I am, without any sarcasm, going to say that if this had been a world revamp expansion, then this would have been close to my ideal expansion. The Dragon Isles are cool though, and have a lot of verticality, so I am willing to let that small bit slide.

    Well all that and also a removal of transmog restrictions on armor. But who knows, this expansion has had so many things I thought would never happen, so maybe I will get my wish on that too.

    I mean, kind of. It's surprising, at least.

    I have to say though, when that was first revealed, a lot of people were puking all over the Panderan. There was a lot of pushback.

During their starter experience, you get introduced to the new mechanics with tutorials and all that stuff. ”

    If I understood well...if Dracthyr can dive flying...that's awesome...

    In the press release site there is a gif of a Dracthyr flying.

    I would almost certainly have played a Dracthyr Evoker as I already have every other class and race covered, but it's the lack of choice in the matter. Also if Deathwing created them to be warriors they won't do a good job with no tank spec. Kill the healer first.

    it definitely confirms that the budget is far lower, and that SL was just the quality and quantity we're going for receive from now on, and wasn't a mere filler xpac before something huge. no way we're getting anything as ambitious (and expensive) as cataclysm ever again
