Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[rhorle]

Got to love that you said I didn't care about the lore yet you didn't bother to check any of it not even on wowpedia.

A legend when the lore you've provided also says they all died. Weird isn't that? It doesn't matter though since they are not elementals but titan-forged. Chronicles makes perfectly clear that Dreanor was unique in that Elementals didn't shape the early planet. Plant life did. Plants that worried a Titan so much he created constructs to defeat and destroy it.

You don't care about lore because you keep ignoring the lore that states the Dreanor elementals were made incorporeal by the high amounts of spirit. As long as you keep arguing a point that contradicts that you are ignoring lore.

It's only a contradiction if you think chronicles ends with page 12 and that all the pages after that don't exist.

The updated human buildings in the files continue in Dragonflight!

Maybe this has something to do with the gnoll war which map they datamined

I suppose it seems a little odd to me that between this reaction and the idea that Visage form increases the party's out-of-combat regen by making the party feel more comfortable, they seem to be treating Dracthyr as these horrific monsters that even your own allies are nervous to be next to for too long, when imo they're really not that offensive.

I mean I guess from the perspective of someone living IN Azeroth you're looking at a giant carnivorous reptile with a history of manipulation and almost destroying the world, but it seems weird these responses seem almost more hostile than the initial welcoming to Death Knights and Demon Hunters despite them being way worse on a cosmic-powers sense than just dragons.

Maybe there'll be some extra context to come out of the Dracthyr starter zone we're lacking.

They're also the result of Deathwing's work (though back when he was Neltharion, I guess). SHouldn't be surprising that the Alliance is wary of anything involving Deathwing.

So anybody know if an account still flagged for SL beta is less or more likely to get DF beta??

Also while we know we are fighting in the prison of the primal dragons it seems like we won't be fighting them so we might lose...which is an awesome idea because they are equivalent to powered up aspects of which we have none until that weird moon thing

I'll be very mad if they made a bunch of new Elwynn assets only to use it for an instance of the actual zone.

I'm thinking it will be a later feature like the murloc northrend map
Think torghast but a different time line

It doesn't give you a foot up if that's what you want to know. Blizzard I'm sure doesn't give brownie points for each one you're in. I've had beta for all but 2 and that includes 1 alpha but nothing for the last 2 expansions.

Looks like WoWhead dug up some new dialogue related to the start of the expansion.

Apparently the Alliance is particularly shitty to Dracthyr and the idea of helping the dragons, with Turalyon, who was only around when dragons meant Bad Things and read up on Onyxia in hindsight, being red-flag-level paranoid about Dracthyr integrating too deeply into the Alliance's society to the point of telling Shaw he wants mages to develop ways to out dragons in Visage form.

Well, guess there's your incentive to make your Evokers go Horde.

Well, DK's had much worse reaction, but it only lasted a whole 5 min. SW citizens reaction is logical, and it is a nice peace of world building.

The way Turalyon talks to Shaw seems really authoritarian with some low-key racist vibes. It's one thing to be cautious, but to intentionally develop ways to out dragons is scary. Tbf what can you expect from a guy who practices torture during interrogations of ordinary civilians?

[Dracullus]

To be honest this time expansion is so close that I don't even want Beta. Still has some goals left for SL and I usually don't play much/at all few months before release.

Only thing left in SL for me is making the money to stockpile WoW tokens, I'm at 3 months no cost, aiming for half a year by pre-patch when they desiccate money-making from covenant stuff.

its just kinda annoying that it still shows up on my launcher

Baby Proto drakes

[Forum Man]

anyone else gonna start collecting the waist of time just for a bronze dracthyr?

Baby Proto drakes

I need to protect them with all my life.

[Nymrohd]

Will there be a baby green protodrake that we will wait for ever to hatch from an egg once per week?

[huth]

I really don't think that Dragonriding changes anything in that regard. Flying works because you concentrate on that and just on that. But intense combat, especially in HM or Mythic while you're flying a dragon? Nope.

This would work if the dragons are "on rails" or controlled by an AI. Players flying and fighting at the same time will never be received positively by the playerbase.

This is nonsense. You have to fight and move all the damn time. That doesn't change just because you can move in one more dimension.

It's a bit sad that Archaedas doesn't seem to be relevant in the Uldaman revamp.

I hoped we'd reactivate him.

[Sondrelk]

He is supposedly already active according to one of the books, so might be that we do all the relevant stuff with him before and after the dungeon, or even have him as our guide during.
Unless of course we already have the voicelines, but I doubt that.
