Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Cheezits]

And even that, deep in our hearts know will likely not happen either. Lets be fair, this is it.

Again, them being more classes is not that difficult to do. Either lock them into the human forms which already have combat animations for other classes (all classes besides hero classes) or give the dragons animations for weapons (all classes besides hero class and monks).

Way less effort than adding scales and horns to every single race.

[Teriz]

Fair enough. I probably still won't play it tho, but not everyone is going to like the same thing so. Happy for those furry serpent folk I guess.

I'm not a furry serpent folk.

[Santandame]

Still feel absolutely cheated that I can't play as a Dracthyr if I'm say a warrior or a hunter. It really makes no sense.

PTR build tonight?

Did anything change with the preorder encryptions?

We got one last night, and no, they haven't.

Yeah imo alpha should start in less than a month for me

It's interesting. Some stuff seems very early on (pretty much anything UI related), but world wise things are looking pretty good outside of the few untextured doodads we saw. Dragonflight looks pretty good already too and the new race already has a bunch of customizations in.

If they truly want to show they care about feedback, an alpha soon (e.g. next month), before most of the major work on implementation gets done, would be amazing. Lets just say I'll be happily surprised if that happens.

I agree, the crafting XIV was more fun during ARR when macros didn't really work, and you had to cross-level multiple professions to actually create HQ material.

Now, however, every crafting profession has been homgenized to all share the exact same skills, there is no cross-classing of professions anymore, and everything is done through macros, which basically amounts to the same thing as WoW's crafting system, just with the extra level of having to find a macro and copy-pasting it into the game.

Well that sounds lame, and isnt what I was referring to.

Those guards look vastly superior to the Dracthyr

Here's hoping we get them as an AR.

This should've been the race. Leave the drakthyr as a shapeshfit form for evokers.

Oh...well, my apologies. I just figured with your avatar and all. Oh nvm you're the tinker dude right, wires got crossed. I know there's a few of them floating around here dreaming about caressing scales.

But way more effort than not doing it.

Which is the problem

[Raetary]

After 18y we still have to prove our self to our own faction? :v

The explorer's league and reliquary just know how to milk us for their personal gain.

[huth]

Which this expansion absolutely needs.

Throw us Tuskarr, Furlbolgs, Gnolls and Centaurs as Allied Races at this point for patch content. Fuck it.

Snolls. I kinda want their leader to be named Snogger.

While I agree, its technically its a new faction that's a combination of the Explorer's League and the Reliquary. The actual name they gave it evades me at this point. Dragonscale Expedition or something.

[Santandame]

I never knew I needed this until you enlightened me.

I think people are looking at this the wrong way. You're not really a humanoid, you're really this;



But because of gameplay reasons and system limitations, you are a smaller, humanoid form.

Just like Wrathion, Alexstraza, and Chromie aren't classes, they're just dragons, and so are the Dracthyr, they're just dragons.

[AOL Instant Messenger]

Indeed. These new Drakonids look far cooler.

[huth]

The dragon-flying? It's a lot higher-speed than the current flying according to the Ausgamers interview, so the current Druid forms wouldn't be equipped for it. If there was a semi-dragon Druid form for it that might make sense/be cool though. Demon Hunters can't even fly under their own power right now can they? Or did a miss a change?

I don't quite follow your thought about Druids. They just flew the same speed as any other mount so far. There's no reason they couldn't go faster if the system actually supported it.

[Khaza-R]

Technically she fucks only his hideous half-elf self.

So not much of a scalie.

Well they did re-use Denathrius's model on his update so I guess I can't blame the girl 100%

you aren't that though and if blizz couldn't accomplish that, they should've changed the race and class to something else. There is no shortage of requests in either of thsoe departments.

[Zankai27]

Is the class called Drakthyr Evoker, or just Evoker?

Dracthyr is the race, Evoker is the class. "Dracthyr Evoker" is just the whole package put together, since it can only be one race.

Evoker is basically just a functional requirement so they have something to put in for various class prompts(e.g. if some NPC adresses you by class). Dracthyr and Evoker are the same thing.

Dracthyr is the race, Evoker is the class. "Dracthyr Evoker" is just the whole package put together, since it can only be one race.

Basically, if an NPC adresses you by race, they say Dracthyr, if they adress you by class, they say Evoker. But it's all the same thing either way.
