Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Mekkle]

If you consider that "a druid form" I can't imagine how awful you think every other race in the game is.

dude, no need to be a dick about it. I'm still gonna give it a chance, maybe ill feel different when i play it. Just not a fan of the blood elf skeleton.

Not really. More customizable, sure. But the core mechanics are the same. Like I said it is definitely an interesting thing to have but it is not like it some revolutionary game play. You hit a button to climb or move faster and look for "recharge" spots get a resource back faster.

It's a lot more than "it's shit".

[Ferlion]

Holy shit man Dragon Riding looks so fun and FAST!

The base lvl which is what Dracthyr use is like twice as fast as normal flying mounts. Imagine how fast it will be when leveled to max.

Shame you can't use it in old zones. It would make old flying mounts obsolete.

My fear is actually that it won't carry over in the future because of something with the coding on new dragonriding that stops it from applying to old mounts

That's like saying killing a quest mob is the same as bleeding edge mythic raiding because both are about pressing buttons and avoiding damage.

Well you can actually use the Dracthyr version of dragon riding in old zones. And it's like twice as fast as normal flying. So the basic stuff is there.

[The Stormbringer]

It will never happen, we will see if they add some pink armor to the game though. After all, they've decided to ignore 100% of the feedback surrounding Transmog and Roleplayer concerns on the Council.

Have they? That's... depressing to say the least. The Transmog system was one of the best additions to the game, but there's still a lot of room for improvement, and Roleplayers seem to get the least amount of attention from the devs. Very sad.

^ I had my worries but she looks pretty damn good.

Bug, maybe?

But that kind of just reinforces my fear. The issue isn't the old world, it's the mounts themselves.

The obvious reason they wouldn't answer any questions of that sort is because the answers would be either a flat no, or "we don't know", which isn't exactly the most interesting use of their limited Q&A time.

The point of curating questions is that they want those that can give as much info as efficiently as possible, not necessarily to give answers players specifically want.

Damn shame we can't transmog everything though. I really want to use some leather on my hunter, or better yet make a cool Old God themed set with all the various armor sets from Ny'alotha.

Why would anyone wanna play another class with Dracthyr in the game in Dragonflight
Can fly
Can fly in old zones
Look really cool
A ton of cool abilities
Loads of customization!

Seems the solution is to just give dracthyr more classes

And more humanoid forms.

This is the sort of stuff i like to hear; a positive reason to use it, rather than a negative one.

A good incentive to create actual large zones again too, that Azure span stuff looks... tasty.

There is more than a little feedback regarding the "cool looks" and "customisations" part, and it's not entirely positive even now.

Personally i prefer melee or weird ass ranged dpsers, so evoker gets a solid "Maybe" out of ten until i've had my own try with it.

Still, it does seem like it might be worthwhile to try it (naturally i will have one that is serious, the other i will make as weird as i possibly can while going for a name like i.e. Qendergueer.

Well maybe some people don't wanna be dragons, or prefer other classes.

[MightyWarrior]

Who wouldn't want to be a dragon tho

[Monkaliciouz]

Not sure if anyone's done it yet, but I made a pretty mediocre size comparison between Northrend and the Dragon Isles. Devs weren't exaggerating when they said it's as big as Northrend, even if it is only 4/5 zones.

[loras]

Who wouldn't want to be a dragon tho

The Djaradin, evidently.

[Xilurm]

Who wouldn't want to be a dragon tho

That's pretty subjective tho. Like I like Nelves the most so probably gonna keep playing as them. I'll make a Dracthyr though cause they look fun.

[Aeluron Lightsong]

Who wouldn't want to be a dragon tho

People that like other races or wanna be themselves but on Azeroth.
