Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Lady Atia]

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

This is more realistic;

I love that picture! Can't wait to create my Dracthyr alts - I'm wondering what the restrictions will be? One per server like with DK's initially?

[draugril]

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

The dragon form actually uses your shoulders, chest, and belt.

[Malorne the White Stag]

I think they meant there are some pieces you can pick at the barber

Hopefully we'll get some really awesome Armour designs in Dragonflight, I'm still holding out for beautiful dresses as robes like in FFXIV.

Example I adore this dress;

[Khaza-R]

Might be both. We clearly saw a headpiece one of them was wearing that I assume was a barber shop option. They're probably have to mix both of them together to get their desired effect.

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

Deathwing by the sundering had already encountered a humana and an orc.

The people in the interview said they don't, they use some set pieces that you can swap

[ImTheMizAwesome]

You change armor pieces when you go to the barber based on the last interview.

i guess you pick for chest piece either different colors of tabards or the dress thingy or no armor at all.

Humans existed since 15000 years ago, according to the quest that revealed their origin as Vrykul descendants.

Also, they don't look like High Elves, only their stance, the same as Wrathion. Their facial structure is human, and their ears are pointy, but not that much larger than those of humans and their eyes also don't glow. Also, Neltharion's Visage was human and he created them.

[draugril]

The people in the interview said they don't, they use some set pieces that you can swap

They didn’t say that.

They said there are armour choices to be made at the barber. Then they said they also use shoulder, chest, and belt armour.

[Syegfryed]

You change armor pieces when you go to the barber based on the last interview.

They didn't said it was your armor, they said you can trade pieces, its prob like another pair of panties you can pick and all, not your real armor.

The video show they used something totally different from any mail armor i ever saw, close to a demon hunter cloth piece

- - - Updated - - -

They said there are armour choices to be made at the barber. Then they said they also use shoulder, chest, and belt armour.

And yet, they never said it was your armor.

If it was yours, i don't see why you need to swap on a barber shop and not on a transmogrifier

If its a barber shop option, is a set piece like hair/skin color, from the options they gave.

Okay, I haven’t seen this video before, I found it on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/wow/comment...tm_name=iossmf

Man does Dracthyr and Evoker look rough. They look like they came straight out of a cheap Asian F2P MMORPG. The art style and direction is outright terrible.

I know they are working on it and both the visuals and animations need a ton of work. I‘m just surprised in what an early state the supposed main feature of the expansion is.

It looks like very standard quality wow animations to me.

Yeah if you play on the lowest settings maybe.

For someone who supposedly hates everything about the damn things, Syegfryed sure does spend a lot of time correcting everyone in here.

[draugril]

You can even slightly change your torso to be like slightly more slender or slightly bulkier; and the armor that you wear is a type of armor that you will be able to customize at the Barbershop, too. So Dracthyr, I think they’ll also be able to wear shoulders, tabards, belts across their visage and Dracthyr form. While the visage form is able to wear all-armor.

They’re talking about two separate things here. You can choose barbershop armour, like you would Blood Elf jewelry. And also, they display armour slots like anything else would - that isn’t connected to the barber.

[Bindanda]

So according to Ion in the hazle interview, he hopes to get some of the talent calculators out before Alpha even stats so that they can start getting feedback really early on them. I think that's a great idea. More of this blizzard. Bring back Dev Watercoolers and Artcraft posts.

What I'd like to see is maybe a weekly or biweekly blog post, in the style of the Diablo one plus maybe also H.S. where they show off the new mechanic. Theres so many they could do. They could alternate, maybe week 1 it's a zone then week 2 a class, then a dungeon. For me they wouldnt have to line up all the zones in a row or the classes, spread it out for a variety

1 for each zone
1 for each dungeon
The raid
Each class, tell us what their thoughts are for the class this exp
The talent system overhaul
Professions
The xpac itself/dragonriding/"how to train your dragon"
Pvp
U.I.
Pet battles

Let's get these community managers to work!

If that's the case they need to status update with some wording very soon, because everyone I've talked to and myself is under the impression that's how it works - Dracthyr show little if no armor, but have a lot of cosmetic armor baked into the character to make up for it

[boyzma]

I, personally don't like or play either humans or any kind of elves....can't stand them. I also only have played female characters since Vanilla, never a male. However, I think these guys don't look bad at all. Yes, they are human/elves...a mutt if you will. BUT I will gladly play a male one of these. Yes, they need tweeked but Blizzard has the ball in their court...they have time.

[Futhark]

Great, let me mimicry other races as well, everyone wins

I want this to! Hopefully we get more visages in the future, like this photoshop I whipped together:
