Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[ImTheMizAwesome]

I think not having undead heritage armor as a reward for completing new questline is a huge miss.


There was probably one guy with idea in dev team saying "hey, it would fit for some forsaken heritage armor questline" and the other guy was like "Undead? Forsaken Heritage armor? Not now, elves need new options too!"

Blizzard loves elves... too much.

[Schwert]

People getting mad about a single skin/eye colour combo for 3 elf races.

Lol.

Wait until we get Tinker customization for Gnomes and Goblins (and maybe Vulpera) instead of a new class, lol.

Dracthyr will be "blood" elves too; remember

Funny that now you can be an undead druid Night Elf or an undead paladin Blood Elf... shouldn't they have blocked the Darkfallen customization for some classes?

Now I don't see any other reason for not opening Paladins for the Forsaken.

No they shouldn't - they already said they wanna open up all classes to all races, so this is a great start for that.

Loved the Lordaeron questline, it was truly worth the wait. They even included the BfA pre-event bat as I wanted them to! <3

Just wish they would make the red eyes and undead skin tone seperatly in order to make blue eyes like Sylvanas together with a undead skin tone (or yellow eyes for undead paladins) but that's a minor issue. I'm super happy with the patch so far.

I do hope Anduin comes back in Dragonflight, mainly so he can interact with Wrathion. And no, not because I am shipping them. I just think they have great chemistry and also that Wrathion will need advice during Dragonflight and Anduin is one of the people he could trust to give him honest advice.
I think that we may see the Dragonflights making a decision to not create any new Aspects (democratize their power) but rather disperse the gift of the Titans among the entire flights. We have two flights with no proper Aspect and let's face it, I think Nozdormu is not likely to survive this xpac.
From what I've seen (haven't had a chance to do it yet) the Lordaeron questline is solid. As most fans here seemed to agree, we are getting the Desolate Council back and we are getting Belmont and Faranell on it. Calia is just one among them, Voss had a satisfying arc in BfA so that her getting a place there makes sense (even though how that arc started still makes little sense). Velonara is there to give the Dark Ranger concept a continuation (and her split with Sylvanas helps).

IMO, having undead Night Elves druids or undead Blood Elves paladins doesn't make much sense, but well. Also, it feels that adding the red eyes for the Void Elves "cheapens" it... but what is clear is that now they don't have excuses (from a lore pop at least) for not opening every class to every race.

Funny enough, I hated the pre-BfA Desolate Council because it's members were some random no-name Forsaken with no backstory that never appeared in the game before. The new iteration is awesome though as it fixes my complain!

Why? We know druids can draw their power from life and death thanks to Shadowlands. Kul Tiran/Drust druids are doing that too. And for Paladins - we already have lightforged DK's aswell as Zeliek.

[Varodoc]

Who cares about racials?!

This is the reason why Blizzard is now scrambling to remove faction restrictions, as they realize that no one plays Alliance with their dogshit racials.

Oh and I hate it to break it to you

I hate to break it to you, but turning into a fair-skinned elf was always part of the Void elf identity, as evidenced by Alleria Windrunner.

I thought we might get Hercular but Belmont will have to do.

Now we are missing upright Forsaken so we can have Nathanos' model.

[Cheezits]

I think we will be getting Dark Ranger themed mounts as the preorder bonus. There is an encrypted cat mount and an encrypted horse mount (or things with their footprints) and I THINK the cat is different from the Slimesaber.

I agree, its stupid druids and pala can use this.

Nah, it was the long cries for eons that made blizz do this. Pure fanservice, Alleria only enhanced it on the forums, by the likes of you. They ended giving it to both, only fair.

They forgot about the void aspect, which was a random theme anyway to give to elves as we all know. They shouldve given them n zoth third eyes and more dangeling pieces or what ever and double down on what was already there on the blood elf side. But old warcraft 2 player would never stopp anyway, so ye they gave it to void elves as well.

[Varodoc]

It seems like the Darkfallen options are available to the Void elves too, as per usual with the Void elves, the implications of this are massive.

The Alliance now has amongst their ranks some of those original defenders who died protecting Lordaeron and Quel'Thalas, and thus have useful claims to those lands (the playable human DK came from Stormwind btw). Simultaneously, the numbers of the Ren'dorei keep growing.

I must say, I appreciate this present coming out of nowhere.

That doesn't really make a lot of sense. Dark rangers have nothing to do with Dragonflight.
The mounts are likely either from something we have not yet seen on Live, like for instance the Lordaeron questline also giving mounts not currently viewable in the mount collection.

Why is it stupid? As I already pointed out, we have lore examples of both druids using powers of death and light using undead already.

Btw, the writing of the 9.2.5 questlines is top notch and I can't wait to see what they are doing with Dragonflight now.

Yeah, but that's it, that's the Kul'Tirans theme, not the Night Elves theme... until now, of course. But then again, I don't see why they didn't take the chance to enable paladins for the Forsaken then. And then to the Kul'Tirans, and so on. Oh, and what about monks for the LF Draenei? Heck, and let Dwarves and Orcs be able to play as druids also, that would be nice.

Because any new paladin race would need a new charger mount? They could do a new generic HD charger and say more unique variants for every race (including blood elves and humans) will come later though.

The monk thing is weird, but I think we will get them with the second wave of race/class unlocks during Dragonflight. Maybe together with Warlocks and idk, shamans since they only need new totems?

I think Monks have several unique animations? So maybe the races need to have those animations added first?
