Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Grimmy17]

Hope you all had a fun day! Did anyone find out if Marlamin discovered what the LivingWorld stuff was about? Just curious

[Ferlion]

Looking at the Dragonriding talents.

Some really interesting stuff

Airborne Tumbling [NYI] (New) Tier 6, Column 2. Spell: Whirling Surge allows you to evade elemental attacks for 1 sec. In addition, you may use Whirling Surge to dismount enemy flying players you come into contact with.
PvP

Fire from Above (New) Tier 7, Column 3. Spell: [TEMP] [ACTIVE] Your drake swoops down and uses a breath attack against enemies in a cone in front of you.

Attacks.

Gold Dragonflight Affinity (New) Tier 1, Column 5. Spell: [TEMP] Passive Bonus from the Gold Dragonflight.

This Dragonriding talent and the new Chromie model makes me wonder if the Bronze dragonflight is going to rename for some reason. The riding talents seem to also be a general outdoor talent tree and not strictly for the flying. Fishing, world quest, guardian summons etc are all a part of it though possibly a datamining error.

The climbing and exploration world quests seem interesting because you have to plant a flag somewhere and can create handholds for your party to use for climbing.

Could be Blizzard haven't finalized the Bronze Dragonflight faction name yet?

Changing the name, while, possible would be extremely odd.

I guess Nozdormu does something so awful the rest of the Bronze change the name to distance themselves from him.

Seems HIGHLY unlikely to change color, feels so random and one would assume Nozdormu's madness is almost well known so I doubt its what you say.

Likely will be used in the new docks, but absolutely bait for a revamp.

The scale of the new gunships is amazing.

There are also strings for a Rock Climbing activity, as well as more about the Great Hunt, which seems to have different rounds to it.

They would already know about that though. Doesn't the entire Bronze flight know everything that happens in every timeline, past present and future?

[Local Ardenweald Faerie]

So with wow.tools ramping down support, is there any place where one can view the minimaps of the new areas added?

[infinitemeridian]

That alextrasza model is...busy. Not sure how I feel about it. Oh man, what did they do to Nozdormu? He looks so disney-fied now. Old model was great.

[rhorle]

They have another talent for Green Dragonflight Affinty. It is possible it is a typo or placeholder but just thought it was weird since the new Chromie model is golden.

[Eldryth]

They would already know about that though. Doesn't the entire Bronze flight know everything that happens in every timeline, past present and future?

No. They can scry for information like that, but they won't necessarily get what they're looking for or even understand the answer. See the Bronze Dragonshrine quests- Chromie actively searches for the Infinite Dragonflight's leader, and when her ritual reveals Nozdormu, she assumes it's just showing him fighting the Infinites rather than realizing the truth.

Right now only the players and Nozdormu himself are confirmed to know he's going to become Murozond, Nozdormu might have told others since then but the other Bronze dragons definitely didn't know from the start.

[Izalla]

Crendor's interview with Ion has him answering a question about if the new flight system is meant to be expac only or not. He says that's up to us and that right now it is an experiment for this expac but they hope it will go well so they can expand it from Dragonflight and carry it forward. He also mentions how there are lots of mounts that just wouldn't work with the animations as they are now and they don't want to just invalidate those mounts.

So much stuff that doesn't seem like it will be used extensively in Dragonflight is being updated, and if you look close, that tower where the Horde zeppelin is at has also been updated.

"inhales" Let's also not forget that the new creatures showcased in Dragonflight are all the ones missing an HD model!

"inhales again" There are also no signs of the new human buildings in Dragon Isles!

"inhales deeply" 11.0 hype!

[rhorle]

They would already know about that though. Doesn't the entire Bronze flight know everything that happens in every timeline, past present and future?

No. Only Nozdormu can see most of the future. The rest have varying abilities to see stuff. Some deal with other aspects of the time ways as well.

[Ferlion]

It would be fun, though obviously would never happen if the end of Dragonflight leaves us in such a bad shape that the Bronze flight collectively says "If the Titans aren't the grand architects, while listen to them. Let's reboot this to save us" and they take us back to pre-WotA Kalimdor, and that's the new expansion. A soft reboot, where we can still see old content via chromie time, and the new OG Kalimdor is built for Dragonriding.

Would never happen, but I can dream

[SovietBabeyyy]

So the Hype Level is

3/10 comparing all reports

[Ferlion]

That's never happening cause it's a dumb idea

- - - Updated - - -



How tf did you get to that conclusion?

That's what makes it so brilliant.

[rhorle]

That's never happening cause it's a dumb idea

A Bronze Dragon already sent us to Alt-Dreanor so it is plausible that we go back to pre-sundering Azeroth or something. It seems like the group to do it would be infinite-aligned just like Kairoz was rather then the "good" Bronze members.

[SovietBabeyyy]

How tf did you get to that conclusion?

By study the first impressions.

Consensus Dragonflight is „ok“ solid.

But no excitement at all. Dragonflight will release probably this Year.

Ok we noticed it.

Thats it.

No countdown
No sleeples nights

Hell, i remember tbc and wotlk everyone was hyped as fuck.

Now its just a ok.

So i rated the Hype Level 3 out of 10 (3/10.)

Feel free rate Hype Level by your own.
