Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Sondrelk]

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?

In all seriousness, if they do push such a thing the next creepy thing to have too many of after eyes and mouths is probably hands. Just like, a thousand creepy humanoid hands.




There's something terrifying about too many fully shaped hands. Hell, to make it creepier each hand could imitate a known species, like elves and trolls and dwarf hands emerging and you're left wondering if it's mocking you or if it's an amalgamation of dead humanoids that have been assimilated over millennia and that it has no true form of its own

[Nymrohd]

I think it would be cool to have one that is all wings. Both on Azeroth and on Draenor, wing serpents are connected to some extent with the Old Gods (Sethe, Arikara, Hakkar). What if one of the Void Lords is a creature of feathers/wings. Something that looks like Miata's awakened form from Claymore:


or like a D&D chichimec

[Raetary]

So, an Old God or Void Lord based on biblically accurate angels?

[Nymrohd]

So, an Old God or Void Lord based on biblically accurate angels?

Yeah, an Old God seraph.

If you consider the relation between Old God and Void Lord given that each Void Lord hurled pieces of themselves across the universe then e.g C'thun is not just the Old God of Madness on Azeroth but he is an Old God that may have appeared on multiple planets and that it is just an aspect of the Void Lord that created it. So there may have been a C'thun in Draenor. I mean we assume that what the Skethlon were trying to summon in Shadowmoon was just using the model because that's the mode they had built but what if that is just the form the Void Lord of Madness takes? That could even help explain other things like Yogg'saron being a Void Lord that has tried to assault the Shadowlands and thus Void Necromancy originating from them and having Yogg actually be an Old God of Death.

Tentacleesque wings.

[huth]

Tentacleesque wings.

Eye think the wings they have by the book would do just fine.

[Ersula]

Who wants to bet they designed unique hairstyles for the Venthyr because they intended to reuse them for Darkfallen?



The Venthyr women even use a few blood elf hairstyles so they must have compatible phrenology.

[Luck4]

I have said that many times before myself.

Her getting a Pallas Athena look is inevitable.

Yeah, it makes sense in so many ways that's hard to imagine something else.

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.

I can see her taking a form of an elf, but surely not of a void one since titans are Order beings, not Void ones. But I think it's unlikely because an elf form would trigger some people while something based on Greek/Norse mythology, which also happens to be the general rule for titans/watchers/stone ppl, wouldn't.

Btw, does anybody knows if Argus was based on Egyptian mythology?

I think Varodoc meant the many periodic attempts at corrupting Azeroth is what would make Azeroth a Void Elf. I personally thought of Azeroth being a Troll, but the Well of Eternity theory makes sense. Maybe an elf with tusks.

As in Argus had horns & pointed ears, a bit like Draenei. So it makes sense they would look similar to the sapient races who originated there.

[rhorle]

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

Nah. Elemental based form. The elementals predate Old gods and the Titans couldn't kill them as they would always manifest back on Azeroth. So they had to be imprisoned. It seems pretty clear the elementals are tied to the world soul. In Dragon Flight we even have dragons empowered by the elements that rivals the power of the Titan empowered Dragons.

[Nightshade711]

We all know Azeroth’s form will be a Dracthyr obviously

Was Argus shown without his helm on?

Edit: No, he was never shown without his helm on. So horns are not known but the ears are and they do not look like a Dreanei.

Poor Azeroth, she doesn't deserve that...

I give Dragonflight one month before 50% of the players leave again. Simply because there is no instanced gameplay like Torghast, Islands or Warfronts for casual gamers anymore. And i doubt world content alone will give enough gameplay.

How did the game survive before Legion then?

[therumblings]

I am sure it will "survive" in Dragonflilght as well. With a few hundred thousand players after some months. Depends entirely on how much gamplay most players get.

Dragonflight's amount of systems was the norm before Legion, which was the height of the game, which many many players are begging to go back to it.

It is strange how in the past you said those things weren't enough to keep people subscribed or challenged but now you are using them as a reason why people stayed subscribed.

[therumblings]

No, players never asked to remove gameplay. Players asked to remove pure borrowed power systems and time gates.

Surely you aren't pretending that people actually liked those systems, right? I enjoy Torghast, but I know a ton of people hated having to do it.

[ChairmanKaga]

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.

Hey now thats a great suggestion for the Night Elves after the charcoaling of their old place.
