Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Cheezits]

I haven't played WoW since right before 9.1, and I'm really hoping the pre-order bonus gives me a reason to come back now.

According to Redshirtguy on twitter, a 4chan leak 3 days ago got everything right, *and* included a "allied race pre order bonus" that isn't Dracthyr.

A new allied race would definitely be reason enough to subscribe and level up.

The AR is very very likely going to be undead NE and Belves to wrap up their story post-Sylvanas.

I am curious what the race would be. My brain says "Darkfallen" (ugh, more elves) but my heart wants to say tuskarr

I think he was just riding off the coattails of Scaleface - this got posted AFTER his leaks. That said, could be real. The date is probably bogus, but I could see darkfallen customization for sure. - Mostly because of the quest updates, the Lordaeron stuff, and the fact that the Sylvanas novel updated the lore on them. The covenant is another thing he got wrong, though. Interviews mentioned renown replacing rep, but nothing about covenants.

[Alanar]

That's a better way of putting it!

If the girl from frozen had a dragonform that would be it.

[Ersula]

You know who should've been the new race of this xpac?

The keepers.

Do you mean Watchers?

[Darkarath]

Well after watching all the information available ATM, Dragonflight is definitively a step in the right way.

I really like everything that we have seen, although I am worried about class balance with so many talents, it has to be a nightmare for them; also, Dragon riding, it could be very fun or very annoying.

Sadly, no console version, so I am afraid that I will not be able to play it

[cocomen2]

the dragon form having 5 fingers also rubs me the wrong way, the feet look just to gigantic, drakes and dragons are supposed to have less than 5 digits

This is uncany valley level of shit to me

Its to compensate for Worgen lack of fingers, now they are even. Worgen has dragon feet, Drakythir instead goes with wolf legs.

redshirtguy, he latches onto stuff other people post and then uses it, they likely would have announced it if it was coming as it would give people a concrete feature to invest in and fot them to build some hype around with the pre-order.

I don't want to come here just to spoil the mood, but I feel a bit obligated to at least share my opinion since I disappeared last week and said I'd come back after the announcement.

Well, I was unfortunately vindicated that I would enjoy discussing dragon expansion leaks far more than actually getting one. I've felt more offended by an expansion announcement before (Battle for Azeroth's felt upsettingly hypocritical, pushing pro-faction war marketing immediately after celebrating unity in the community), but I can say with no hesitation that I've never felt more apathetic about an expansion. I might even have actually have preferred therewillbedragon's fake to this.

Unlike Shadowlands, I don't even have the new customization and new leveling to look forward to. I recently finished up a goal I had in game that was hanging over me, and after I did so I found myself uninterested in doing anything else. I hoped the expansion would change that, but it didn't. I legitimately feel no drive to come back for this at all. It would be liberating if it wasn't so disappointing.

For anyone who might be thinking "everyone says that, but we know you can't stay away", know that I've stayed away for long stretches before. One of my longest was probably from the beginning of Legion to the lead-up to Shadowlands (between the time-gating of Legion burning me out, and my vehement disinterest in Battle for Azeroth's marketing), and I was still excited about a lot of things then, I just didn't feel they were worth the stress.

I will note, however, that I am saying this based on the information we have right now and understand that things can change. Every expansion has its surprises. If I recall, even the Shadowlands customization was something they were weirdly coy about until beta really showed the true extent of it. If we get a ton more customization again, or more Allied Races mid-expansion, or news about Heritage Armor, or class skins, or long-requested race-class combinations, or any of the things that grab my attention and keep me playing, then I'll gladly change my opinion.

Watch sygfried burn in rage when it ends up being either of them, but darkfallen would be ultimate.

They want to keep addons, so console is out.

[Deventh]

It all began with those cutesy Pandas introduces the tumblr furry aesthetic into the game, 10 years ago...

Freshly made meme just for you:

[Alanar]

Make him Prime Designate. Odyn doesn't deserve it.

Oo shit, I think you got some story here!

Based stone guy steps up, claims hes baseness and goes after Odyn. Based stone guy will hear of Odyns cruel dick past and finds new purpose For Azeroth!

Tuskarr are most likely coming either way. There's no reason they'd get updated models and female models if they weren't planning to use them imo. They even gave them small baby Tuskarrs:

Cannot resist urge...

So you are basically saying that playable Tuskarr are coming and the child Tuskarr put the seal on it. barump bum

Lol yeah.


And I feel like some people will be more excited for them than the new Dracthyr race.

[Jodmos]

I can't get over how underwhelmed I am for the Dracthyr and Evoker. Tying them together is just a big huh? from me. maybe they thought nobody would want to play them with that model so had to tie Evoker to them only. And raid teams will definitely want evokers as they will probably be busted until 10.3

Crazy proposition but hear me out... what if they are getting updated model because they are going to be used in the new expansion...

The model update isnt random, they are just the creature chosen this expac to be in the story

They would fit as a pandaren allied race atleast on a skeleton aspect which I assume are using the same skeleton

[draugril]

Uh.....

I'm not sure I'm equipped to handle scaley private parts my man. LoL!

I mean, I’m not sure either, but I’d give it a shot. I doubt you’d get a second chance!
