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...

For the first season, it'll only have 4 (of the 8) dungeons from DF.

Next season, it'll have the other (remaining) 4 from DF.

That's how I read it anyhow

[huth]

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

Anyway, from my understanding, it works like this: 2 fixed abilities for all members of a class (i.e. the 2 diamonds on the left), same for all members of a spec.

2 free class talents depending on your spec (which will always end up being spec fundamentals, like Starfire or Rejuvenation). Rest is open choice as long as you have a link or its a top row talent.

What strikes me as a bit silly is that you could then proceed to build something totally dysfunctional, like a Balance Druid that has no Moonkin, Starsurge but nearly the full Feral kit...

I wonder if its just gonna be legion and further dungeons or if they will do dragon dungeons, like the Nexus.

Because if it is legion and bfa dungeons then that would clash with the Timewalking events (BfA timewalking should be in 10.x)

[Das Thora]

Huh. I'm surprised. I thought they said they weren't doing a 9.3. Looks like a nice patch. When are they showing the expansion reveal?

Well, they're already doing WoD dungeons for 9.2.5. IMO, there should just be a regular week where everybody gets Occulus keys and nothing else.

[Chickat]

LMAO!!!! 10/char



I definitely feel the male models should be beefier.

Are we sure there even is a male model? Seems that's the model for both.

[Teriz]

Good point, and I can imagine some female players wanting female humans and beefy dragon forms.

I do believe that Blizzard will allow you to change your body type in the customization screen.

[Chickat]

So the first raid is against Galakronds followers

Thats pretty exciting.

[Atriel]

As of right now, this seems to be in. It's a unisex/androgynous body type. There seems to be a very subtle hint of more masculine/feminine facial feature options though.

[Ersula]

Weren't you and @LeConceptuel trying to dunk on everyone who believed last night's leaks were real this morning? Who are you to correct someone on something today smdh

Scaleface also said we were getting Microclasses

[Three Faced Goddess]

trust me, he knows a lot

Do you know anything about patch 9.2.5 and whether or not we'll be getting Dark Ranger customizations? That's basically the one thing I want the most in WoW.

[AOL Instant Messenger]

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

That's Teriz who made that, I think.

Snore.....

More Elves, you say? Why of course more Elves!

[Teriz]

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

Honestly, what we're getting is VERY close to that concept.

[Nightshade711]

Well, think about how many people are going to roll the dragon class when they see one fly past them doing barrel rolls and nosedives without a mount.....



Yep, exactly. People quickly forget all of those arguments between me and @Nightshade711 dealing with draconic size. Making them humanoid looking dragons sidesteps that problem.

I do think that the Dracthyr were a decent compromise between playing a dragon and a humanoid drakonid…

If they fixed the race up a bit and/or added more body types I’d like them a lot more.

[ercarp]

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

Nixxiom would lose his mind if they added Tuskarr as an AR. I'm pretty sure he's been asking for them to be added as a race since 2008.

[AOL Instant Messenger]

Thats pretty exciting.

That's odd. Wasn't Galakrond a non-sapient, non-speaking Proto-Dragon? I know that we're fighting against ancient elemental Proto-Dragons, but why is Galakrond suddenly capable of having "followers"? Or is it more of a cult around him?

It would give me a new race to play this expac

Well, he certainly has a cult. Not ingame, though, as far as i know.

“We wanted to try to spread back out again, get some of that classic Stranglethorn Vale feel,” Jeremy Feasal continues. “Huge expanses of trees in between spaces where we can have wildlife and really cool POIs. Characters that might be lost out there, little vignettes to discover.” With the desire to create huge expansive zones, this sat alongside the desire to create a new type of mount, as Dragonflight puts you in direct control of a dragon. Arcade-style controls, “do a barrel roll”, that sort of thing. With four distinct dragons, each with over 50 different customisations, it’s the most customisable and tactile mount in World of Warcraft history.

I think those two abilities on the left come in after allocating a certain amount of points. There is a screen of that first icon with an 8 over it. I assume at 8 points allocated you unlock it for free? There's not a photo of the second one locked with the first one learned to verify it though. Yeah, it is a bit silly to someone who looks at it from a raider's perspective... But to the millions of people who left who only played to level characters and do stuff in the world/dungeons, it was a nice thing for them to do.
