Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Kellorion]

I wonder if the following will show up or be touch upon:
-Wrath proto-drakes
-the dragonflayers
-the dragonmaw
-and outland drakes of black and netherflight
-Sabellian
-Thorignir

Well, there's definitely 63 talent points allocated in the picture. So unless they were in some sort of god mode where they could allocate as many as they want, there's at least 63.

I counted 31 class, 30 spec. There's 2 freebies for both resto and balance to start your class tree off. 61 points would equal 1 per level starting at 10.

That's what i meant. You get a few free depending on your spec. Watch the deep dive.

Why was stuff like this not in the presentation lol

I don't really care for PvP but WoD is the only expansion where I genuinely enjoyed it. If they manage to bring it closer to what it was like back then, then I might dabble in it a bit in 10.0.

[LordyLordy]

I have always the same problem after every expansion reveal... Logging into current WoW feels so "old" I just want to play the new expansion.

Ahh, no, I watched it. I just missed that part. I was confused where you were comin from on the first one

Out of curiosity, since an actual Dragon class is out of the picture and some people seem not to like the Evoker very much, would anybody want me to conceptualize a proper Dragon class just to see what could've been or if it would've been viable?

[maplesyrupgl]

Any speculation on the Allied Race we're getting for pre-order?

Most likely candidates imho, in order:

> Kyrians & Venthyr (neutral)
> Kyrians (Alliance) & Venthyr (Horde)
> Kyrians, Venthyr, Sylvar (neutral)
> Tuskarr (Neutral)
> Gnolls (Neutral)
> Tuskarr (Alliance) & Gnolls (Horde)
> Dracthyr "human" forms

Idk, I'm not sold on any of the ideas. Could be something totally unexpected.

-Wrath proto-drakes
-the dragonflayers
-the dragonmaw
-and outland drakes of black and netherflight
-Sabellian
-Thorignir

- The Primalists are closer to proto-drakes in appearance and I'm pretty sure at least one of the mount types for Dragon Riding was a proto-drake.

- No idea, they didn't mention anything about Vrykul in the preview. In fact, I feel like we didn't reslly get enough info on the denizens of the Dragon Isles. We heard about Tuskarr, centaurs, gnolls, and furbolgs... But surely there are other races native to the isles too, right?

- The Dragon Isles have been hidden for 10K years so I doubt it. The Dragonmaw came to Azeroth like 35 years ago in the canon so I doubt we'll see any on the isles. Might some of their remnants sail to the isles to try to recapture their glorious past of Red dragon enslavement? Maybe, but I doubt it.

- I don't think so but that would be cool.

- I hope so! That was actually one of the predictions I had on my bingo card. They mentioned that there might be some competition for Wrathion in terms of who leads the Black dragonflight, so we'll have to see who that is. Some said it was referring to Ebonhorn but I think Sabellian makes more sense.

- Don't think so. They felt like a fairly minor off-shoot that was native to the Broken Isles and therefore not super relevant to the overall lore of the dragons.

I doubt it. I highly doubt we'll get the Shadowlands races as Allied Races. It seems like they might be building up Darkfallen, but that means we'll have three new elf races this expansion on top of the numerous, numerous others.

Darkfallen imo, since that's most likely what the datamined Tirisfal Glades Dark Ranger stuff has been about now that we know Class Skins aren't an option anymore.

I personally prefer the Dragonsworn class that was on here, believe it was made in 2019.

[Shadochi]

The presentation today is kinda odd, looking at it.

- Most of the pictures of the dragon race human form come from the press kit
- The concept tier sets come from press kit
- The concept map for the entire dragon isles comes from the press kit
- Important info like MAIN CHARACTERS and VILLAINS revealed in interviews

And

- no release window
- no pre orders

It feels like they must have a part 2 planned soon, right? Kinda weird.

Any link for the concept map as I havent seen it?

yep, feeling darkfallen with a very small chance of out of the blue tuskarr

Ah yeah I saw that one, I was thinking more the map of the layout of zones which we usually get. Really weird that we havent gotten it now

[Chickat]

I mean, this is likely it for launch.

But whether it's it for the entire expansion is less certain, and for future content? Well, you'd be a very silly person to rule stuff out, because tons of stuff people said would "never happen" has, in fact, happened, especially with aesthetics/customization.

Yeah, I could see them modifying it slightly so you can use basic abilities and shift into and out of Drake form to use dragon abilities.

Mythic+
Currently, Dragonflight Mythic+ Season 1 is expected to feature 4 dungeons from the new expansion and 4 old dungeons. In Season 2, there will be a rotation with 4 other Dragonflight dungeons and 4 other old dungeons. Those of Shadowlands will undoubtedly be put aside because they are too recent.

https://worldofwarcraft.judgehype.co...de-wow-169303/

I really hope this doesn't mean DF is going to only add 4 new dungeons...they've been scaling back the amount of dungeons we get every expac. With M+, you would think they would be increasing these...

[Xilurm]

By the way, Steve Danuser revealed that the stone dude's name is Watcher Koranos (as well as that his face is apparently modeled after Brian Holinka).

Well I sure hope Holinka never goes and does something stupid and controversial in his future.
