Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Cheezits]

I play on RP servers, and I'm VERY curious about how many Dracthyr will get played on Horde... considering Horde and dragons.

99% of people won't give a shit but I'll still curious.

Black/Red/Blue will be my choices. I'll change the color all the time tho.

This would be fun to do to reflect that they are Prismatic.

The Black Dragonflight loves the Horde!

[UnholyGTX]

Mines gonna be as pink or purple as possible!

Im going with red personally. According to a comment I read on another thread though, the secondary chest color is separate from the base body skin color. This means I might be able to take the light blue from the 7th one on the list and shove it on the red of the 2nd one. That's only speculation though as far as I'm aware.

The "shitty third world politics" was about the abortion ban and reducion of human rights, not people wanting to have human rights.

ABK is in the right of doing the walkout for this, but if USA wasn't such third world shithole when it comes to basic human decency, they wouldn't need to do this particular walkout.

Then I apologize for misreading what you were saying, sorry about that. You are absolutely correct.

On-topic: I think if I were to play an Evoker (and I'm not decided yet), I'd either go Blue, Bronze, or Red.

EDIT: The purple ones look kinda cool too, though...

Yeah it seems like we may be able to make a few pretty chromatic drakes! Let's hope that's also true for the dragonriding mounts <3

Along those lines, I wouldn't be surprised to see quite a few white dragons flying around the place. Some of those color options with the white body looked quite nice.

What about horns and eye color? I think I'm going with larger horns (top #3) and more fiery eyes.



Obviously these won't be all the options, but that's the general direction I'm going.

I think the middle one that looks like bike handlebars is the one for me

I'm using this opportunity to roll my first Horde character. I've played Alliance since 2004 because the Horde races/Pandaren never appealed to me. If they had put Dark Iron on Horde, I would have defected earlier. Going to roll a Drac anyway, so I figure why not try Horde?

[Atticon]

The head varity is fine, but those gangly body proportions turn me off from them.

[xputurnameherex]

It just sucks that we can only have 1 per realm for a while.

I rather like that one. The red and blue color combo with the red eyes is quite nice.

3rd from right on bottom row is the horns im looking at

If your realm is connected to others you should be able to create one per realm though and still have all of them in the same guild!

Well, keep in mind it sounds like (from what we can infer) Dracthyr were sealed up at the eve of the sundering with the rest of the dragon isles, anything they'll hear about the Horde's uh... "history" with the dragonflights will be in distant hindsight, I imagine that'll end up being a major justifying factor.

And hey, unlike Pandaren this time they'll actually get a fair expectation of what they signed up for instead of getting swayed by a Tauren and then arriving in Orgrimmar, meeting Garrosh and having that slight impulse of "oh, this was a mistake."

If you go Bronze, are you going DPS or Healing?

The question is, is there any value to go horde now that we have cross-faction play. I went horde for SL although alliance has the better racials for the content I play (M+). The amount of keys in the LFG was just way higher than on alliance, but now with cross-faction play I'll definitly go back to alliance (dwarf op).
Anyways since the Alpha will be out in a few hours atleast we will see the Evoker Trees

[Hugnomo]

Yeah ... agreed. I wish they'd give us at least 2, so we can make one for each faction.

[Grimmy17]

Yeah that rich sapphire blue with the handlebars, really gorgeous - Although as you previously said, I did really want to go a shade of bronze for healing (my main role) because timey wimey is life!

[Nymrohd]

I really, really hope they rethink the class restrictions. If they give the race a couple more classes people will be able to enjoy it so much more.

I think it's telling that, very likely, the representative of the Horde this time will be Blood Elves. Blizz is building up a half of the Horde that are these massive magical civilizations (Blood Elves, Nightborne, Zandalari to a good extent) so maybe Dracthyr are meant to go into this category.

This also made me realize that the Horde has more kingdoms under its belt than the Alliance, at least kingdoms that aren't currently fucked (Kaldorei, Worgen, Draenei? who knows what their endgame is, civilization wise)
