Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Lorca]

So they put on some perfume and then can fly?

That would be funny. But I meant "channel" x'D mb

[rhorle]

Again, it would've been better to present the Pokemon GO game first than the obvious game that will be referenced as the "Ultimate Death of the Warcraft franchise" by the media/Warcraft community/larger gaming community. We all know its' going to happen either way even if it isn't logical.

If it would happen either way why does the order matter? Those that are looking to hate will do so no matter what.

Because you are incapable of logic, it seems.

[Sondrelk]

It isn't. You are saying that Blizzard slaps anyone in the face when they develop an "adjacent" game to a genre. You are also using the false assumption that Starcraft 3 or Warcraft 4 won't happen because of these games. All you are doing is inventing ways to hate on Blizzard and the mobile games.

Blizzard has not made a proper RTS since SC2: Legacy of the Void, and that was 7 years ago (or 6 if you count the Nova DLC). If you just count the base Starcraft 2 meanwhile they have not made a mainline RTS in over a decade.
Again, this isnt like Diablo where the game is still ongoing, and the mobile game is just a poorly planned out announcement. The RTS genre as a whole is in dire need of a big title, and Blizzard has not made any motions towards continuing this once thriving branch of gaming that they themselves made mainstream.

Unless Blizzard somehow announce their intentions to ever make a SC3, or WC4 then I suspect the mobile announcement might just pour more fuel on the fire they seemed to have gotten under control by making Diablo Immortal available on PC, especially since optimizing an RTS for mobile and PC are on the opposite ends of the spectrum.

Which they can while also making a good mobile game, right?

They absolutely could, but in lieu of any actual announcements or even voiced intentions of actually doing so this mobile game might just make it seem like they ahve completely abandoned it.

What kind of logic are we talking about here? The one that tells us that smaller Northrend is bigger than bigger Dragon Isles cuz number of zones?

[Khaza-R]

Mike Ybarra did say something about Reforged getting updates in the future. But yeah, now would be a good time to announce those along aside the mobile title so people know its not 100% abandoned

Uh, I think everyone wrote off Reforged months ago. Best think would be reverting changes that made original W3 worse.

Right. It is just people who are looking for any excuse to hate and rage at Blizzard. If they are on the opposite ends of the spectrum as you say then it isn't an insult to RTS PC players if a strategy game for mobile comes out. You keep pointing out how different they are while still trying to connect the dots to justify hate/rage over Blizzard releasing a game that isn't the one "RTS players" want.

The "If I can't have it no one can" approach.

As a WC3R player, it was written off years ago. The moment it hit Beta, actually.

Though the recent rumors about a new WC3R patch have me pretty excited.

Same, and I never even played it.

I find it interesting that WC3R never went on sale, even diablo was on sale already.

Maybe they're doing something with it and then add it to gamepass, who knows.

[Foreign Exchange Ztudent]

Nevermind the Pokemon GO game doesn't exist.



Even worse, I guess?

The other Mobile Game is something completely different then since they did announce two during the last Conference Call.

[Raetary]

Wonderful, now we can pressure them into creating a proper warcraft pet collector adventure game!

[Foreign Exchange Ztudent]

I mean it is still possible that Jason Schreier has more solid sources and more recent info than Jez Corden. But, yeah. Its all a matter of who you trust.

[Gigantique]

I so sure that Alexstrasza will be positively thrilled to see Dragnomaw as Horde representatives. So many fond memories of them being together in the past!

Amazing reasoning, just to fit some more precious orcs in the setting.

And elves sucking magic? You member that they dropped the addiction ages ago? Sure you don't, they are not orcs so fuck the, and their lore.

Tbf that's a bit disingenous of you, his point was to have the orc that befriended a cloud serpent in pandaria be part of a plotline to let the Dragonmaw redeem themselves to Alexstrasza and her kin, which I for one would welcome, especially since the entire clan has been in limbo afaik since the WoD prepatch.

God forbid we explore a topic with a little bit of unforced dramatic potency. The fact that this obvious narrative conflict is offputting is the whole reason they should do it. Instead of the forced, illogical, confused stories we get these days…

It was established in Legion that Gorfax is the new post-Zaela leader.

With the pvp artifact prestige ceremony thing? That's not a lot for a clan that up until then seemingly went all in for Garryboi :P

Which was a complete betrayal of their Twilight Highlands characterization, Zaela included.

But regardless, it’s something. They’re still a faction allied the the Horde proper. They weren’t wiped out.

Also, there’s an implicit follow up with the Vulpera helping to settle the. Mag’har in Twilight Highlands as well.

I mean, yes. Sending Dragonmaw to a wild and uncharted land to work with Alex and the drakes is much more logical move than sending an org that has experience in explorations and finding knowledge in hostile territories. And that also did not torture and enslave the last OG aspect and her offspring.

[bruxx]

I don't see how it could be anything else really. Having them running super fast on their legs would be weird. Maybe they fly low to the ground, then when they gain the appropriate riding skill they can fully fly in old content?

I think flying is an integral part of the Dracthyr given their wings.

Fully agreed though with the developpers sending mixed signals, this guy may as well have been thinking of "Dh glide ++" as the "racial mount" which would be dumb, but you never know.
