Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Sweetdeal]

Any invites so far?

[Makabreska]

dragonriding sounds all fun and good, but i hope there is also a pathfinder in the 1st patch for regular flying in the zone. especially when getting from point A to point B, id rather just auto-fly and tab than min/max flying around.

Wasn't it confirmed that we will get regular flying in 10.1 or so?

[Fiercelord]

Whoever here gets an invite with today's wave, please say so We wanna be hyped for a possible invitation.

Didn't they say there would be no pathfinder?

I'm not sure they've ever specified if there would be a "Pathfinder". What they have confirmed is that they will 100% unlock "normal flying" in the future.

Hopefully Dragonriding gets enough attention that it becomes a mainstay. I don't think I could go back to smaller zones ruined by old version of flying when we have Dragonriding to compare it to.

New flying is likely also quite bad compared to how it is right now. With larger zones designed for up to 950% movement speed I imagine 310% flying will feel painfully slow compared to basically any other movement option short of flying directly upwards.

Where build? Do we have that twitter screenshot with the new alpha wave content? Paladin trees plssss

[Revamp Man]

Still waiting...

Still early
Don't forget the other builds hit later

All that dragon mount customization just seems like a waste of dev time. Would have been better spent on an allied race or existing race customization.

In the end it is like designing another race. And everyone can enjoy all the new customization all the time.
And on the other hand, Blizzard can also use these models for npc (friendly and enemy alike). So they can use all these assets they develop for diferent things.

No warrior, mage and paladin rip

Mage was obvious with the amount of spells already in the game.Paladin i am surprised by ngl.

[Revamp Man]

Never doubt the Tuesday build
This is their main focus right now even fated raids have taken a back seat

[Ilir]

any new wave ?

[Lady Atia]

It seems like we may get Ysera back sooner than later - while wowhead speculates that the green aspect on the new loading screen is Merithra, it looks far more like a new Ysera model - it even has her new blue eyes:



Interesting that Blizzard would spoil that with the loading screen already though.

Its very clear that its not Ysera

[Xilurm]

That's a really cool loading screen.

[Nyel]

Mage and Paladin, called it.

[Ilir]

Yea, she looks way more like an updated Ysera rather than Merithra. Also, there's a bunch of Ysera NPC entries in the dragonflight database already, all of which are missing models meaning it's either encrypted or not added yet, including one that's literally called "Ysera Dragon Uprez" so I'm fairly certain that it is Ysera on the screen and that she is coming back early on in the leveling process. Important to keep in mind that in Shadowlands epilogue, Ysera said she'll soar the skies of Azeroth again if Elune wills it. If they wanted her to remain dead, they wouldn't have left it open ended like that.
