Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

People had a hard time seeing that the amor set with a freaking dragon head was the evoker set? Lol....

The one with the dragon head is the hunter set actually. The Evoker det is the red one with the giant horns, and shoulder reminiscent of the ones used by Deathwing on his human form (or DS warrior shoulders).

The Hunter set also has a dragon head. The Death Knight set has two dragon heads.

I'm just pointing out all their talk about "Class identity" & "Wanting to decrease class/race restrictions" over the years was a lie. I've accepted that & you all will have to do that too.

Hunters really do have a thing for sticking their heads in magically taxidermid animal heads.

[Syegfryed]

It costs dev resources, mostly time. And it is literally a matter of who gets what first. That's the entire question you pose..

Stop saying nonsense, allowing other races as options would not cost any dev resource or time

Only if they ever want give the customizations to then

And they are a multi-dollar company who milk the playerbase with a paid game and a subscriptions, who did cut this expansion to focus on this one, they ahve money and time.

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

I like how the community have more vision than blizzard

TbH, i would be completely fine by just having the default normal races, but would be fine too

Is there somewhere they are actually labeled?

I'll admit, other than Rogue (#1?) / Warrior (#6?) I have a hard time telling some of the other ones apart.

On wowhead at least there is a confirmed list where all the armor sets have the name of the class over them.

Even without immediately obvious classes for some of them, i will absolutely take having more than a single set from a raid.

Shaman - Earth and heavy lightning theme in that set, easy to guess.
Druid - A bear pelt robe, easy to guess
Rogues - Dark ston-y hood with lots of edge, easy to guess

Monk - Run of the mill monk set, easy to guess
Warrior - Run of the mill warrior set, easy to guess
Paladin - Run of the mill paladin set, easy to guess

Hunter - Another animal head and scale chest piece, easy to guess
Mage - Light armor frost theme, medium guess, can be confusing
Death Knight - Another frost juggernaut set, medium guess, mostly because i'd guess it to be the warrior set if didn't that one beforehand.

Priest - Religious cloth robe, easy to guess
Warlock - Edgy cloth robe, easy to guess
Demon hunter/Evoker - Look almost identitcal, hard guess.

Yes, I also prefer this. But don't pretend it's obvious. Most of the time people are just guessing wrong, we have examples of that on this very page.

Uh thanks for labeling them after they've already been labeled I guess

Mage, Evoker and DK threw me off.

Its certainly better than Sepulcher sets but I can't say I am a huge fan of the shared themes and colors in the new set designs.

Blizzard shouldn't just chase what would be super popular, otherwise we will lose out on anything new and unique to a sea of elves

Well there's a difference between something that's less popular, and something that would be in the basement in terms of popularity. Kul'tirans, HM Tauren, and LF Draenei are simply not popular in any sense. Drakonoids would have the same issue on top of being "ugly". WoW players have made it pretty clear that they by in-large don't like large, bulky races.

[Raetary]

I didn't label them, i gave my guesses from before they were revealed and gave a bit of an explanation why i made those guesses.

[Teriz]

Gonna need a source for that, anything I can find has Hunter at the top spot around 10.5-11.5% depending on region with Druid being 2nd sitting at 9.7%.

A question - With the new talent system will i be for example able to have ghoul on frost dk all the time or army of the dead spell?

How would anyone know? We don't know what the dk tree looks like.

No idea. We'll have to wait until we actually see the trees to know what options we have.

Do we know if the new "Press & Hold" type of spells will only go to Evoker?

I was so hyped when they revealed it, they absolutely need to put this new gameplay to other classes. So many possibilities!

Honestly that sounds really annoying on a keyboard. But are we finally getting controller support? FFXIV has had it a long time.

I would be surprised if it went to anyone else. It seems like the defining mechanism for the class.

[Wonderment2]

- The Dragon Isles have been hidden for 10K years so I doubt it. The Dragonmaw came to Azeroth like 35 years ago in the canon so I doubt we'll see any on the isles. Might some of their remnants sail to the isles to try to recapture their glorious past of Red dragon enslavement? Maybe, but I doubt it.

There was the one short story of the redeemed Dragonmaw would usea a Cloud Serpent. It would be cool for a Horde faction of Dragonmaw looking to redeem themselves. That's what I'd do atleast.
