Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Revamp Man]

I wonder what the first tier sets will look like, and for that matter whether we will get the gear pieces with talent tree points added to them. Cannot remember if it was ever actually confirmed, or whether it was just an idea that was floated during an interview, but will be interesting regardless.

There's concept art for each class set

Nope, fuck playing alts.

Main character progression or no game.

Are you the dev who fucked up alt game for years in order to push their "borrowed power" crap? If so I'm glad that NewBlizzard! has changed and finally realized that alt play is the game. Or in your words. Nope, fuck main character "progression". Playing alts, or no game.

How about there being substantial all around gameplay that can satisfy single character players AND have the game be alt friendly?

[Cheezits]

It's honestly pretty crazy that they hid the Dracthyr updates until this summit. Maybe the updates are very substantial?

There will always be negative people, but I am pretty sure the reactions will be mostly positive for the initial wave of datamined stuff.

Sadly so but they'll always be extremely vocal aswell, I can't wait to see what DF has to offer.

DF is looking to be that as there are no conduits to grind for alts.

I feel really fucking bad for MrGM. He's getting very popular, not as corporate as T&E and a little more communicative/dataminer than Towellie, and he's rewarded by getting sick and missing his first big streamer event.

[Xilurm]

I wonder if the intro quest where you take the ship to the isles will be instanced. Like the Cata/Pandaria ones.

[Nyel]

I think it really would be sick if they will give us different Dracthyr models instead of just one. With almost three months of no news about them this would be a very cool "cat's out of the bag" moment.

some would say it's karma for how he acted a few years back but that's none of my business

If they introduce a couple more race options for the visage form along with some bulkier customisations, I think everyone will get a BIG hit of excitment for them as a race/class and for the expansion overall.

To put into motion such a strong area of feedback in the time they had since the announcement would make a lot of people happy imo.

I don't expect more visage forms except MAYBE male human and female elf.

The amount of work it would take to port those options to each race is insane, other races would feel left out if they didn't get chosen (they aren't doing every race) and the amount of loreheads who want to play a gnome visage form "cus Chromie"/tauren visage "cus Ebonhorn" are small compared to the general audience. Also APPARENTLY it doesn't fit their lore of being based off ancient human/elf DNA.

More options for dragon form/more use for visage form (combat) is what I expect.

that's not very nice

[Catastrophy349]

We are in for a HUGE week! Summit, blogs, Alpha, datamining.

I hope they have, at the very least, more "rough" facial features options. Like those in that "Dracthyr fixed" custom edit.

If people wanna make their dragonfolk scaley bait more power to them but I really don't

I don't think that audience is small in the slightest, also we don't really have any established lore so that argument is flimsey at best. Human male and BE female would be great though!

I like how the summit turned into hard fact only from Towelliee taking 2 days off and T&E mentioning he's under NDA. There is so much fuel in the hype train right now.

[Kiria]

that's not very nice

Feel better soon, hopefully when you're feeling better you can attend the next one.
