Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Jshadowhunter]

How can anyone get back to the old ways when the previous expansion destroyed and nullified everything in the established universe, pinning everything under the control of a single person that was never mentioned before?
How can there be any tension left when DEATH has become little more than an old people's retirement home, where you can go and visit them every now and then?
How can anyone look at developers in light of sincerity, when they've been shown to be worthless incompetent contemptuous frauds?
How can anyone think that Blizzard is promoting female characters, while at the same time stripping them of agency and taking away the feminine appeal with which they were originally introduced?

To me, after being a customer for almost 20 years, Blizzard is dead, and Guildwars 2 is the only thing that's keeping me in the MMO field (especially because it's free).

[Syegfryed]

Yes it is and yes it would.

Please, show us, how adding other races as option for visage, on top of the ones they already had, will take something away from those people

They only have finite development time. If they spend it on one thing, that necessarily means they don't spend it on something else.

Lame excuse, by that reasons they should not anything, they should not even add dracthyr at all, and do another thing.

Also, letting other races be picked as visage, will not require anything, only if they want to give then the draconic customizations, and, there is no need for it.

[Teriz]

Mechagnomes experience

Which is completely irrelevant to this situation.

Plus if you dont go full tits during the first presentation, there are low chance you are gonna later.

Except Blizzard literally said that their goal with this race is to make it as customizable as possible, so we've barely scratched the surface on the possible options of this race. Obviously they can't show hundreds of racial customizations during the reveal. That happens over time, and they're going to obviously be adding more stuff leading up to the release which is several months away.

[Raetary]

Yes it is and yes it would.

No, it wouldn't.

Expanding visage forms does not take away anything from the players that already like the base form, it would just give to those that don't like it an alternative cosmetic option.

Gonna believe that when they say i will be able to customize my visage form as a tauren.

[Teriz]

Well that's not going to happen, so you have unrealistic expectations.

This is more realistic;

[Syegfryed]

Well that's not going to happen, so you have unrealistic expectations.

So they are not as customizable as possible, so your point is wrong.

[Xilurm]

Why can’t they? We haven’t seen all of their customizations yet.

Well they are using the Human Female model, and they ain't exactly as fit as in that drawing. I mean look at those arms.

[Teriz]

True, but they can come very close to that.

[Nyel]

Do we know what kind of weapons Evokers are able to wield? Will they be visible in Dragon form / combat?

[Kiria]

This is more realistic;

I would absolutely adore this kind of visage customization <3

[Teriz]

Do we know what kind of weapons Evokers are able to wield? Will they be visible in Dragon form / combat?

Probably staves, 1h swords, daggers, and fist weapons.

You won't be able to see weapons in combat form, ala Guardian and Feral druids.

I'm confident that it will be available.

[Khaza-R]

How do humans look like stone bro?
How do dracthyr look like elves I mean obviously they can’t have basic humanoid features

Humans make sense. Vykrul were created by the Titans just like the Watchers.

However Dracthyr were likely created 10,000 years ago before the Dragon Isles got cut off. Only Night Elves would of existed at that point. So not sure why their visage looks like High Elves

[Kiria]

Do we know what kind of weapons Evokers are able to wield? Will they be visible in Dragon form / combat?

Probably staves/swords/daggers, the usual caster attire.

Probably staves, 1h swords, daggers, and fist weapons.

This would absolutely make my year to be quite honest.

[Syegfryed]

Do we know what kind of weapons Evokers are able to wield?

My guess, same as other spellcasters, staff, dagger, wands

Will they be visible in Dragon form / combat?

Nope, its a druid form.

[ImTheMizAwesome]

About the 9.2.5, what if these cutscenes and maps changed of tirisfal, tyrande with the seed will be used for heritage armors questlines for NE and Undead?

[Nyel]

Nope, its a druid form.

And maces. Every healer can wear 1h maces, it's the quintessential healer weapon.

Is the dragon form in combat always active or do I switch? I don't get it. I'd rather play as a scaly human than as an ugly malformed dragon.

idk how you can bitch about Blizzard and their power creep and then praise GW2 in the same post lmao.

The asspull of everything actually being Void, and Void being the BIGGER bad is the exact same thing Shadowlands did. Hell, Void being the fabric of reality and the source of every kind of energy on Tyria actually mirrors Zereth Mortis really well.

Sure, the highs of GW2 are way better, but the lows are so much worse, and they have become more and more common.

It's essentially like Worgen.

In combat, you are the dragon form, outside, you can choose.

Like i said, is a glorified druid form, you can't do anything if you are not your cat/bear/boomkin form, you need to be the dragon form

And the dragon form does not use your gear like worgens do, they use some set pieces like demon hunter do, that you change in the barber shop

Thanks for the clarification, such a bummer for me then.
