Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Makorus]

I mean why would someone post a leaked screenshot and point out just the bags? Feels like something Blizzard would do.

Someone sent the image to a friend and pointed out that "Hey look, there's an extra bag slot"? And then said friend leaked the image to the rest of the internet.

Seeing we had no public build push, that confirms they're either doing previews remotely, through an encrypted client or in-person somewhere. Exciting.

I knew it!

Perhaps the extra bag slot is part of a racial for the Dracthyr race?

Anyone willing to re-host that image elsewhere? I can't access facebook at work.

edit: Nevermind, here's for people like me:

Is this kind of thing unprecedented? Can't recall a previous instance of this happening... what exactly is the reason for things like this? So creators can make content early or?

Are you implying they have a kangaroo pouch of sorts haha?

It's actually really normal to do embargoed things like that. And yeah, exactly that, giving people (usually specifically press) to write stuff up and then release it all in one go, which is probably the Thursday date we've seen being thrown around.

shaman + war

I'm betting shaman will be last tree and it will come with a blog that says something like "We found this intern in the server room sweeping the floor. Since no one we know plays a shaman, we had them do the trees. Good luck!"

How interesting - in that case I'm even more excited for what they come out with (personally hoping for a LOT of Evoker coverage! woo!)

wow that looks clean

[MightyWarrior]

I found this on reddit. https://www.reddit.com/r/wow/comment...o_over_in_the/
In the article, its apparently from Blizzard, and one of their points are: "We are definitely aware that inventory space is an issue and are currently looking into what we can do here!" so thats why theres an extra bag slot

Those dragon-based icons are quite encouraging.

All those points are summed up from posts on the public Community Council forums, so not an official article but probably mostly quotes from Blizz. You should check out the original posts that talk about any subject to make sure the info is accurate.

I’m really hoping one of those icons is for an actual flying form.

I’d like a Dracthyr version of Running Wild with the 310% flying outside of the Dragon Isles.

[Catastrophy349]

My people, the day will come, when the very forests of MMO-Champion will whisper the name, Evoker.

For the record, I posted this exactly right before this image came out.

Looking at them, I think there's one of three that could potentially be a flying thing.

Top row, left most (looks like its bound to F?), looks like a dragon/dracthyr soaring upward. There's S-5, open wing on an open sky. And there's the one bound to - which looks like the back of a dracthyr (to me anyway) against an open sky.

They seem to have the four dragonflying mounts, set to s-9, s-0, s-- and both 8/0 (saame icon on both).

[Raetary]

Really? I'm not sure why but I was under the impression it got changed into something else then everyone fled? I'm terrible with social media platforms so you'll have to excuse my ignorance... I still think it's an odd place for a WoW screenshot

There's Facebook, the company, which is now rebranded as 'Metaverse' and there is Facebook, the SM site, that has almost 3 billion active users world wide.
Facebook isn't going anywhere anytime soon, a leak there is no different than a leak on here, reddit, 4chan or twitter.

I’m guessing that the one bound to - is the Dracthyr’s glide. Icon looks very similar to the DH glide.

F (or =) could be flying (though it could just be the Dragon Isles ‘dragon riding’ form of flying and not the 310% flight)
Thinking that S-5 or S-8 could be deep breath and/or Soar.

[Cheezits]

I don't think there will be a Dracthyr running wild at launch: because people will complain if they can fly with wings in EK/Kalimdor, then suddenly lose the ability to fly in a few weeks.

Maybe they will add it when default flying is added to Dragonflight?

Could be. Just looking at the action bar he has two abilities that look greyed out.

He's not in combat so I would assume they might be non-combat Dracthyr form only abilities.
