Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Cheezits]

It would've been neat if the Dracthyr Dragon armor was upscaled versions of armor you can actually get in game, so your visage and dragon forms can match, but I think some of the armor would look strange on visage form in that case (for example, no shoes)

To be frank, the line "Wear your armor with pride." from their closer look deeply implied you can show your actual gear.
If thats not the case, it'd be akin to pretending their was any prestige from barbershop haircuts.

Druid forms is the equivalent, not haircuts. Both are changed at the barbershop, and there is definite prestige involved with some druid forms.

Yeah but druids are lame and dragons are awesome... Not biased in the slightest

See, that's what I thought.

It's just such a weird line to use if you cant actually... show your armour?

I rather have something that looks good than something that has "prestige".

This week is giving me the exact high I was looking for. Copium HIGH.

I don't think it was intended to be manipulative, but they should've said "show off decorative armor" to be specific.

Where's the player pride coming from then? Do you take pride in your orc's hair color?

I'd rather be able to make my own transmog pieces than have to pick like 30 odd selections from the barbershop.

[gcsmith]

I just can't wait to see more stuff, shame I'm in Bologna from thursday morning, so might miss some cool stuff.

It is technically customizable armor (two dracs have the same helmet, different shoulders, torso and leg pieces), so they could've said "30,000" unique armor choices or something.

I have enough weapons, pets, mounts and titles for that. Also in the end, looks > "prestige" for me, always. And I couldn't care less what someone else is wearing or riding lol.

Yeah the most important thing for me in a mog or mount is that it makes me want to create a look around it. A mount might be super rare but if I cannot make a cool look using it, it's not getting used.

Yeah. For example the new 6 month sub wyrm made me create a blood elf mage. She'll use the heritage gear and Felo'melorn, although I could use mage tower weapons and t3. But that just wouldn't fit the concept.

1500000% this. If the transmog doesn't flow, the mount is being left behind!

So... Dracthyr use Chi as a secondary resource?

[Nymrohd]

Why does that visage dude look like a bunny boi?

Maybe it's ..... ... aspect power?

Well, didn't the devs mention they play FFXIV to get new ideas?^^

[Foreign Exchange Ztudent]

Extra bag is a microtransaction would be very funny compared to the current theory that its just the return of a specialized Reagent bag.

Still want a way to empty out the Armor and Weapons in our bags in some capacity through the Equipment Manager System or a Void Storage Revamp. But we'll see at least they have an eye on the inventory issues which is a good start and this is a clear indication they do.

[Shelldor]

6? Pacific, eastern, central, mountain....what are the other 2? I live in the US and seriously haven't a clue what you mean.

People always forget about Alaska and Hawaii!

Looks like that nameplate is the only thing in the UI that is the "Old" version. So it's either a bug, or they haven't finished the design for the dracthyr UI.
