Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Darkarath]

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.

They already stated that they might be more classes in the future, which for me is a confirmation that they WILL be able to be whatever they want, is just a matter of time. All races will be all classes, I think that they said that they are working in that direction.

They are giving us some in Dragonflight but I guess that they will be done with it in 11.0, another reason to think that the next expansion will be the awaited world revamp in my very biased opinion

Im the opposite I dont mind that its locked to 1 class but I want more races available for the visage.

[Berkilak]

I hope they add a very pale, almost white, yellow. Like electrum.

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

Either one is fine. I've played every role in this game, I don't really find one more comfortable than any other. Though typically I would say "DPS" since I tend to do mostly solo content when I play.

This is my feelings also. Having one class is fine for the expansion, but I did find it odd that they made such a big fuss about the short story about visage day and now we can only be 2 (as far as we know)

Regardless, I've played this game for nearly 18 years and have hoped for a new ranged class for a long time. They could have 1 colour, 1 face and 1 body type and I would be over the moon even still

Yeah same, Im primarily a ranged player but this might encourage me to pick up healing aswell.

I am sure that they can explain it by saying they aren't real dragons so their visage abilities are limited and that's why they can't turn into trees and stuff either but only these 2 humanoid scaly selves.

Didnt know dragons normally come with a chameleon circuit. Can they hide as a police box?

[Wonderment2]

I'm really excited to see the in game models of the primal incarnate drakes, they could easily take inspiration from them for an empowered Galakrond - some of my favourite lore also!

Dragonflight offers so many cool plot lines.

[Raetary]

I really hope they don't stick with the 'human potential' bit Ion mentioned in the interviews and have the lore reason for why they are stuck with human/elf form simply be that Neltharion just didn't get to enhance their transformation abilities, before he became mad.

Lmfao. Considering all of the dots which ultimately were correct, thus far, regarding the NDA Alpha test happening right now, I believe the Alpha happening "rumor", too. Worse case scenario (as I mentioned earlier), we could get a HUGE news drop from content creators/press/Blizzard, etc. tomorrow of footage/information from this NDA Alpha testing. We already have multiple streamers returning tomorrow after 2 days "off". Taliesan even tweeted that he would have a few videos out tomorrow and Friday.

While I’m confident in Alpha releasing today, I will point out this post. So, stuff is 100% going down NO MATTER WHAT at 9:00 a.m. PST!

I think the problem is also: People are now so confident that alpha is coming, when it does not, shit will hit the fan

[Lynnaroo]

It’d be really funny if alpha didn’t release today

And just your basic friendly reminder.....the only true way to know if you've gotten alpha/beta is through your launcher or b.net account. Tis the season for the scammers to send e-mails directing you to websites where "all they need" is your account info for wow, your bank account number and routing number, your debit/credit card numbers, your name, address and SS number, name of your first born child,ect.....then they'll give you a code that you enter somewhere (mmmmhmmm) and you'll get access and a puppy of your choice which they will e-mail to you. Not really all this...but enough to try to steal your accounts. Happens every expansion.

Secondary reminder, keep drinking lots of water especially in this heat - hydrated alpha testers are happy alpha testers. Doctor's orders

Bit random, but I hope they do the coastlines of the Dragon Isles justice. Emphasis will likely be on its inland with the vertical design, but I still want to be able to immerse myself in some cool beaches and underwater areas. Perhaps there's volcanic activity underwater due to all the elementals, or maybe Neptulon's gang is nearby. Maybe bioluminescent algae as seen in the trailer?

I mean, it will be funny

Galakrond is basically the lynchpin for all dragon related content.
Dragons? He is a giant dragon.
Dragon civil war? Those who fight the good dragons worship him.
Dragons and titans/watchers? Galakrond is the reason they met to begin with.
Infinite Dragonflight? Go back in time and defeat Galakrond again to prevent Bronze Dragonflight.
Dragons and cosmic stuff? We still don't know why Galakrond went insane, or why he could ressurect the dead. Or for that matter why he was slowly turning into a modern dragon isntead of a protodragon.

Basically every single dragon related storyline in some way circles back to Galakrond, so it's obvious that a dragon themed expansion should focus on him in some way, especially when we already know there are primal dragons who worship him, and the storyline around Tyr is heavily centered around Galakrond.

I loved the underwear caves in Vashj’ir and/or design of Nazjatar.
