Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Keyalios]

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?

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?

[maplesyrupgl]

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.

Snore.....

[Malorne the White Stag]

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.

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.

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.

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.
