Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[unfunnymeme]

The more I've sat on it, I think Gnolls having no female models actually bugs me. It makes perfect sense for Arrakoa, Jinyu, Sethrak etc to have no dimorphism, but why not Gnolls? They even added children for them.

I don't think its a political thing at all. Is it just laziness? Why tuskarr but not them?

Probably time constraints or something. They've shown sexual dimorphism in Gnolls with other media, so they can't just say they look the same.

Well, Gnolls are based on Hyena and if you know anything about Hyenas...

Moonguard's prepared for this for decades, Gnolls can't measure up to female Draenei.

I honestly still think that given how little it can do now, it would be better to merge it with enchanting. ofc DF could make both much beefier.

Honestly a very good idea. All newly added professions have kind of been handled poorly. Jewelcrafting is a shell of itself compared to what it was, same for Inscription. And I don't even wanna talk about how they completely murdered my child Archaeology.

Also Rafaam!

OMG! THEY'RE GOING TO STEAL DALARAN! Again my friends!!!

Honestly way more excited about this from the same Twitter thread (https://twitter.com/Portergauge/stat...gal7utVVpHJg):

Now this, THIS has my attention! This would be such a nice thing, CoT-like expeditions of some sorts.

Some murals in new uldaman wing.

Those are stunnings, I love seeing Galakrond here!

JC has the potential to get back to where it was. We need reliable sockets on gear, more gear (beyond neck and rings, we can have crowns and trinkets) and perhaps reconsider meta gems.

Ooooh TBC style meta gems would be great. Loved those. Such a shame they were removed.

Also Chromie gets a new model - she's so tiny now!

(Also, I guess you could literally make your drake mount into her haha)

Kinda odd they would turn her into a drake, she effectively has the body of a dragon teen Ager now?

I don’t know where they had dimorphism in Gnolls but Unless it’s a actual wow media like comics or books it’s not canon to wow so if it’s in hots hearthstone or something that doesn’t actually mean any thing.

She always had a drake model, Chromie is a young dragon.

Using the customizeable Dragonriding mount as a model for her is a cheap way to make an unique model, while not actually modelling an unique model.

No she hasn't.

I don't think I've even seen that in Hearthstone tbh

Maybe I missed them changing it at some point but she most defiantly wasn’t a drakes in the CoS.

[Arafal]

No she hasn't.

Huh, i guess i remembered it wrong.

But didn't she use a drake model in warlords?

Does kinda seem to be the case unless they are actually playing with time travel and the cromie in DF is younger then we have ever met her before.

No neither have I but I wouldn’t be surprised if they exist given the amount of card they have at this point.

[Feali]

Chromie does exist in Hearthstone but only in her gnome form.

In regards to professions, I recall they had a posting some time back where they were looking to hire someone to focus specifically on professions and making them better.

Can't for the life of me find anything about it now though.

Well they obviously had far more than one person on them now.

The thing is, no one has really ever claimed Stromgarde. The Forsaken tried but never had control. The area has always been a mess. And it's not like it is a territory that has been in the hands of others for a generation. We had wars in Europe that lasted longer than that.

Well, what I'm thinking is that it could be the jumping-off point for further campaigns—once the territory there was reclaimed, that's just to be expected. Conversely, if it extends too far ...

Stromgarde was nearly completely restored and occupied by the Alliance in the Arathi Highlands Warfront. Going from:



To:

It's definitely an impressive restoration on the Alliance's part. I wonder if the further restoration of Stromgarde will be a story point going forward.

- - - Updated - - -

No she hasn't.

IIRC, she's also been a Whelp before. Bronze Dragons are sort of immune to the whole "chronology" bit. She could be a Whelp in one appearance, a Drake in the next, then a Dragon.

It's probably just a Chromie from a particular time period—keep in mind she's a Bronze Dragon, so she could simply be one from another era. There's no way of really telling which Chromie is which in her personal development because she's acting outside of traditional time.

Woah! Black Empire? I love that idea.

I wonder how many of these are dungeons and how many of these are simply wings of a particular dungeon, raid, or feature (whatever "Race Through Time" is.)

It's going to be some scenario adventure, probably ala Deaths of Chromie.

That'd be quite interesting—I'd love to see that plot thread wrapped up.

I recall that our character was actually a prominent suspect.

Considering that it's from someone who has to remind themselves that Chromie is a dragon, I'm not sure it's the MC who has interacted with a billion dragons.
