Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Revamp Man]

I wonder if the mobile game will have enough to do with the WoW IP to relate… the promo thumbnail was quite techy… maybe we’ll get news on the pre-order package on Tuesday too.

One can hope!

its a tinker type game similar to clash of clans

the second game is like pokemon go but only in the way that you spot random characters in the world and "gyms" are strongholds helld by you and your allies where you place your characters in to hold

[draugril]

I doubt Dragonflight will have such a massive, significant, groundbreaking ending... it genuinely looks like a slice of life fun filler expansion. I can't see it having any major ramifications for the overarching storyline.

They also said that they want to go back to a high fantasy and grounded story with this expansion, such an ending would not fit the general thematic.

They said the same about BfA and we Kamehameha’d an Old God at the end.

So even in a grounded expac epic moments are not allowed...understood. Let's get back to beating with sticks on each other's heads.

[Black Rider]

I wonder if Uldaman is complete rework

[Therougetitan]

I wonder if Uldaman is complete rework

It was described as a different wing so it will probably be separate although they could rework the old one anyways

[Makabreska]

Uldaman is cool and shit, but I keep hoping they hard rework Dire Maul already.

[Sondrelk]

I am going to guess it will be half old, half new stuff.
Might have to check Uldaman again to see where this new dungeon will end up.

[Nymrohd]

That would be interesting. Honestly in a Revamp it'd be a cool idea to make it an actual Night Elf city now that the Highborne joined with the rest of the Night Elves.

They already told us.. its slowly building up like mop.

Wise words, but an obvious no... Anything could happen, even that stupid sword could play a role. Ofc you cant see it as we dont know anything lmao.

Which compared to what happened in previous expansions, wasn't really that out there. We killed our first Old God back in Vanilla.

And we did not even have any help, we literally just stabbed him in the eye and gut till he died.

[Varodoc]

Huh? When was BfA ever advertised in the same way as Dragonflight is?

Literally just compare their reveal trailers. BfA starts with actual genocide narrated by a heartbroken Jaina, who is quoting her father's words about peace being ephemeral. DF starts with the dragons playing with the fucking water while happy music plays in the background.

And besides, no one liked N'Zoth's ending cinematic, so they shouldn't repeat it. It is quite possibly the least liked and most disliked cutscene they've ever posted on their YT.

[Luck4]

Calling it now! The Azeroth Titan/Avatar form will take inspiration from Athena.



Though I don't think we're gonna see her anytime soon.

[Varodoc]

I have pondered it for quite some time, I have observed the evidence, and I have concluded that Azeroth will look like a Void elf. She will have the form of the Void elf.

She will have the form of an Elf, for her wound turned primitive savages into the first elves. That is her power and her influence derived from her wound.

She will have the influence of the Void, for during the encounter in 8.3, N'Zoth began merging Ny'alotha with the very Heart of Azeroth, the Chamber of her Heart, which would have left her twisted, at least in some ways. And as Il'gynoth says, the Old Gods have been drawing the strength from the "earth" for aeons. Strength from the Titan. There will be consequences to this fact.

It is now clear that the Void elf is the form most fitting to depict the Titan of Azeroth.

I have said that many times before myself.

Her getting a Pallas Athena look is inevitable.

[Syegfryed]

Don't they still use a fragment of the demon chain to subjugate twilight dragons though? I know by the time of MOP they've moved on to less-intelligent protodrakes because all the twilights have died/gone into hiding, but they still show a willingness to use the artifact that bound Alexstrasza, I'd imagine that wouldn't earn them any brownie points on the isles.

There is no lore about then using anymore and they don't use twilight drakes(i pretty sure it was bacl drakes before), but they are not taming proto-drakes. They are not suing the artifact, just the chain of it, i doubt this is any more problem that anyone using a sword, that is a weapon that killed many

Also even on proto-drakes there's still some dodgy implications on "taming" something that can self-determine

In wow ever animal can "self determine" if thats what you are saying, wolves, horses, griffons, wyverns, they are no different from then.

He's probably still grumpy about it to.

"Why didn't I get special attention? Not fair *Old God sniffle*"

We have had C'thin who is all eyes, and Yogg'saron who is all mouths.
Maybe Xal'atath was once an old god that was all noses...

So, a giant eldritch Voluminas?
