Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Cheezits]

That's hardly the first time somebody fell off something and was caught at the last moment. There's also quite a difference in the significance of Dragons between the two.

Not to mention the XIV one is sped up.

From what I have seen on social media, Drakthyr is popular with a lot of people who don’t care much for the lore aspect of it.

[ChronoSul]

Have they said outright that Dracthyr can only be a Blood Elf Male and Human Female? It could just be what has been previewed so far.

I hope they do end up expanding the customization race to all possible races, Ebonhorn being a Highmountain Tauren, Chromie being a Gnome, so many Night Elf Dragons, it only makes sense.

That way, technically every race could be an Evoker. Even if they all reverted to the Dragon form in combat.

I know he isnt currently cannon to WoW but it would also be cool to see Zandalari Trolls due to Kazakus aka Kazakusan

[Kellorion]

'Dragons as our current classes dont make sense'

except green dragon as ya know, druids, or red and blue dragons as mages

or red dragons as shamans, or bronze arcane mages



and why cant they be gnome or nightborne based but mixed with dragons





its just a poor idea

[Luxanna]

FF invented gravity?

Doomers be desperate.

But those dragons have been stuck on that island for 10 000 years. How would they have learned our current classes abilities?
Lorewise it doesn't make sense for them to be other classes than Evoker. Not in 10.0 at least.

[Zharikov]

Afrasiabi was in charge of Sylvanas and where her story went. Denuser is literally in charge from now (Dragonflight) and Sylvanas is nowhere to be seen. So, you are wrong.

Strictly speaking, I think he took over in 9.2, and had to clean up the mess Afrasiabi left behind

FFXIV players are a special breed of delusional. Play the game for an extended period of time and it becomes immediately apparent.

It's yet another example of them letting lore that they write dictate gameplay in a very limiting way.

Lore is the same excuse we got for no easy covenant switching, no expanded race/class combos, no new class or race in Shadowlands, etc etc.

They should learn by now not to create limiting lore like that. I dunno.

[Varx]

Idk if anyone is buying this and if they are, they're pretty naïve. It would have been better to just not say anything at all or make a new profile. Never seen/heard of you and I've already seen several people with quotes from you as their signature along with this very post in a completely different topic with others piling on. Sometimes we're just super wrong about something and we need to accept it.

Or maybe my little brother is a demon spawn with a fetish for tinkers.

Didn't you grow up with siblings?

Skyrim? Lord of the Rings? Harry Potter? Game of Thrones? Ring of the Nibelungs? Dragon Age?
(maybe my memory bad, but i don't remember how Dragons saved someone from falling there)

Probably not EK/Kalimdor, but if it comes close to Northrend in scale then it's a win in my books.

At this point if it comes close to Pandaria in scale it's a win to me. My bar may as well be in the floor. I just don't want another BFA/Shadowlands.

Why do I feel like their conversation went the other way around? It wasn't "Dragons don't fit our other Classes" it was "Our other races don't fit Dragons" thus they invented Dracthyr and didn't think them through because it was just a vehicle to deliver Dragon Class.

But those pandaren have been stuck on that island for 10 000 years. How would they have learned our current classes abilities? Lorewise it doesn't make sense for them to be other classes than Monk. Not in 6.0 at least.

I honstly think Dracthyr has been floating around Blizzard for awhile.

This is a picture of Wrathion from Hearthstone. He resembles a Drachtyr;

tbh I think you can find something in like How To Train Your Dragon (whatever the number is)
but yeah, lots of wow devs do play FFXIV and I wouldn't be surprised if it was inspired by it, but the context is something else entirely
and that's it, people are claiming that there are a lot of things like Dragonflight is a copy of Heavensward, the use of "sundering" and "watchers" but those ones we know are bull****

Made me spit my drink...thanks! omg that's hilarious!

Playable Pandaren are from the Wandering Isle, not Pandaria.

Kul Tiras + Zandalar was actually one of the biggest continents added to date.

So weird thing. Apparently that Watcher from the trailer is important because in, of all things, the alt code of the gif of him they posted on Twitter he's named.
