Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

Well reading he does seem to have a lot of mutations so they could use those and thigns like tentacle bosses you have to fight en route.

Or maybe we this just weakens him, so we hurt his heart inside, then we cut our way out of him to fight him on the outside on our dragons in flight. To finish him off. Then we fly down to his corpse to get our loot.

[JDBlou]

Would certainly be a change and anything would be better than Spine.

Spine remains one of the worst bosses to solo, to this day. It's just so tedious.

I had an idea for a split raid type encounter. Galakrod is about 100 feet tall. We can see up to his knees, if we look up form right under him we cant see his head very well, but the rdps could. Half the raid most likely the casters will stay below and deal with adds and fight his toes. The other half mostly the melee and a few healers will need to grapple up onto his head and fight him there. He will fly off at 80, 60, 40 % and we will have to deal with him scorching half the battlefield at a time as well as more adds. If the top group doesn't get out in time he will kill them all when he flies up in the air. Finally once we get him to 20% he will get pissed that we are so small and he keeps missing us, he will turn into his humanoid form to fight us. Last 20% is a dps check. His body cant control all the power and will explode if we don't kill him before his energy reaches 100%. He will be casting huge Void spells and summoning Undead Dragons in the last phase.

You know I'd kinda like to see them do the "fighting on the back of a dragon" concept again from Spine of Deathwing, just without the seemingly constant insta-death mechanics.

Could be cool to be fighting Galakrond as he's flying around the Dragon Isles, or toward something (Silithus? Tyr Hold?).

[Ersula]

I mean Dragon riding would just be the first bullet point on that note.

GW2 is the 4th biggest MMO behind WoW at this point. At that point you might as well rip off Fortnite

[Merryck]

Gimmicky bosses are never fun, so if they do incorporate dragon riding into a raid I hope it's just for traversal. Like you dive bomb down a cavern with the boys to get to the next boss.

Since he is the result of an experiment the raid could just be us fighting "normal size" creatures as we slowly undo the experiment. The entire time we have to avoid being squished by his size that slowly shrinks over the course of the fight until he is just a normal proto-drake.

[Bsirk]

I hope Murozond appears as a last boss in the final raid and transports us back to pre-sundering Azeroth. Once there we can stop the Sundering from ever happening for the expansion after Dragonflight. I would like that. I know....totally out of no where but that was going through my mind since the Dragonflight announcement happened.

The main thing that made Spine of Deathwing annoying was having to rotate to avoid flying off. If we don't have to deal with something like that, I'm fine with it.

I forgot where I heard it in all the interviews, or articles, but somebody did mention infinite dragonflight will have a part in the expansion.

Yeah tat's what I mean by constant insta-death mechanics. That and the very strict timers for the plates or you'll lose to enrage.

Just give us a boss fight on a dragon's back. Hell Galakrond is so big you could have an entire LFR wing on his back, fighting our way up to his head for the final boss.

[Nyel]

They are themed after the primal proto drakes that we fight in raid 1:

ROFL, he is that big that they could make entire raid just his body. That would be actually a really cool idea. You move in and out of his massive bod, fight mutations/servants just to get to his head/heart in the end. Bone wing, blood wing, mutations wing, outside wing etc.

Just what I was saying earlier. Journey to the centre of the Galakrond.

[Futhark]

Ever seen a Dragon turn into a Troll, Orc or Dwarf? Me neither. The question is: why?

Is this why?

[Slowpoke is a Gamer]

Is this why?

Why does that Dwarf feel like a JRPG final boss?

What about a Wing wing?

So you fight tentacles and oozes. Where have I seen that before . . .

Or just a traditional raid with rooms, outdoors and corridors. Where did we have seen it before? :v

[Valysar]

Let's hope that with all the new wings everywhere, they give DH new wings skins...

I just think there is a specific fantasy in fighting a huge creature. Question is how to do it justice. Imagine if for instance we fight Galakrond while using Dragonriding. Not as vehicle combat; we'd still be using our abilities. Just instead of our movement skills we use the dragons.

[micwini]

Weve been saying that for 6-8 years. At this point it feels like copium, but I want it so badly.

I can see it like this:
- 10.0 Intro raid, finishing up Dragon Isle zone story
- 10.1 Furthering general Dragonflight story. End boss of the raid is whatever caused the blue shit in the water. It causes nozdormu to become murozond
- 10.2 Caverns of time raid. We try to prevent Nozdormu from becoming infinite. At the end boss (whoever that could be) Murozond pops up and transports us back in time pre sundering 'permanently' 10.000 years ago.
- 10.3 Few zones, like argus in the pre-sundering world. The raid has us trying to get back to the present. Last boss is Murozond. After his defeat we will be victorious. We will return to the present, only to find out we overshot and are actually 5-10 years in the future..... World revamp.
