Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Kiria]

I am an elf nerd myself and I agree! Enough elf races. Just give all races more customization including for example red eyes for blood elf/void elf/nightborne/night elf dark rangers.

Tuskars would be a furry race I would abs. love and play!

If I could like your post I would! There's more than just Elves in the game and everyone deserves their chance at their dream race.

Well, the aspects are already here ... Why would the sky be red/blue/green ?



And why does the see suddenly turn to blue ?

The audio description version says it's bioluminescence in the waves.

I would definitely play a Tuskar, especially if they can be shamans, which I expect they would be.

Still not pre-ordering the xpac though, even if it grants them as an AR.

Tuskarr Shaman are a very high possibility;

I prob missed, but did they said where the dragon isles is located?

please, tell me isn't around easter kingdoms again.

It is.

It sounded like it would be off the coast of what would have been the old Kalimdor though. Northeast of Quel'thalas.

"The Dragon Isles are located in northeastern Azeroth."

[Sondrelk]

They probably should have placed the Dragon Isles Northwest of Kalimdor, instead of Northeast of EK. Would have lined up better with the whole Dragonriders of Loreth'aran thing we learned about.

Actually, it would make more sense to have Loreth'aran as a distant outpost. Their charge was safeguarding the entire planet, after all, so they'd have wanted to have bases all over.

If I had to bet, Loreth'aran (an island fits the things they've said about exploring islands as patch content in the expac from the Warcraft Radio interview) will be a patch zone and will introduce Tyrande to some Night Elves who have been living there completely separated from the Kalimdor main land Night Elves, with Tyrande trying to connect with them; their sensibilities closer to the savage NEs from WC3. It'd probably feature some lore discussing the origin of the Emerald Dream and would culminate in an Emerald Dream raid/megadungeon.

Loreth'aran is already ingame - you can find it's ruins on the Bloodmyst Isle.

Well that is disappointing. Although a retcon establishing a larger island could still happen (copium). I just want some variety of Night Elf personalities.

Actually develop them then just revert them to just being Orcish elves. Factions can have their own story without trying to turn them into something they are not or without fighting each other is what I'm saying.

Not exactly what I'm saying, I just think some variety makes for better story telling. If you introduce a hypothetical different population you can have your cake and eat it too. You get to appeal to two types of Night Elf fans. But it's not a hill I'm willing to die on, ie making it my entire personality. I just think it'd be neat.

Oooooh Question!

Will I be able to Fly in my Drake form in older content like Worgens can use their form as a ground mount?

I'm quite sure Ion said we will be able to use the base version of dragonflight with our Dracthyr.

Exciting but a lil disappointing as well, I'd love to be able to fly at full speed.

I think a soloq would work well, especially if the challenge was more about personal accountability instead of choreography. And that is easily possible in dungeons. Stand in the puddle of ooze and die, and you get no reward. Works like a charm in other MMORPGs.

It's inherently a group activity. If you keep dying in the puddles, the others won't be able to get ahead either because without you, they don't have enough throughput.

It works in LFR because there's still 24 other people, so they only lose maybe 4%. In M+, that's 20%.

[huth]

Also, i do not ask to change mythic+ for premade groups, but for solo queues to have adequate gameplay.

Then you're not asking for M+ to begin with, though. You want a different activity with solo queues. One that isn't actually a group activity, but just masquerades as one.
