Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Makorus]

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

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.

[Cheezits]

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

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?^^

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!

[Baggz]

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.

[Makabreska]

Dem drogonz be even more zen than pandaz.

[Valysar]

That store mount, less effort than the others it seems. No special animations, nothing new except the skin (and jesus, it's small !)

[rhorle]

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

It could just be a placeholder until they have a different lore for a similar mechanic. However Chi would fit what we know of their creation. As Chi is using inner spirit and Drac'thyr are a "prismatic" blend of different flights. It would also tie into the elemental theme of the expansion since Shamans draw upon Chi as well in the lore.

[therumblings]

It's the first build of alpha and it's using the old UI, it's just a placeholder.

[Ilir]

Alpha, placeholder UI.

It's the charged system they talked about most likely

[Lady Atia]

It's the first build of alpha and it's using the old UI, it's just a placeholder.

Or they are using a system similiar to the old dk runes. Maybe you get 5 different orbs, one for each flight?

Na, too crazy.

[rhorle]

I don't think so as they also talked about potentially expanding charged spells to other classes in the future. If they tie it to a special resource on the UI that wouldn't be possible. Charging will likely use the cast bar UI in a reverse of channeling. It fills rather than depletes.
