Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

Or maybe this is a random spell pulled from the files with no context. Once again, Alpha gonna Alpha, so hold your horses before throwing stones.

That'd defeat the entire purpose of the class. If anything, players should be locked into the actual dragon form when in combat, akin to Worgen.

I don't think thats the case, locking an entire class behind a rather controversial appearance is weird, its not the same as a race.

Providing the choice makes the game better. A lot of people might like the class but not the dragon form, and theres an alternative right there.

[Hugnomo]

You're generally right but the Winter Queen outright says that Ysera is bound to the realm after she helps her.

"You are reborn in Ardenweald, Child of Dreams. To this realm are you bound, and you will share its fate."

That's true, and it does feel a little erratic for them to not stick to that. But it isn't that farfetched. They also did write her saying that she'd see Azeroth once more if Elune wills it, just that it would require some sacrifice.

[Aeluron Lightsong]

SIgh people need to stop exaggerating

[Sweetdeal]

Meh I hope, they throw a new wave of F&F invites.

[Cosmicpreds]

So...new build today? Dang

[Hitei]

Providing the choice makes the game better.

Not necessarily.

[Arafal]

The whole point of Ardenweald is rebirth

Yes, but Yseras whole story was that her rebirth process was interrupted so the WQ had to bind her Soul in order to save her.

[The-Shan]

Not necessarily.

When it comes to a class I think its very important to provide options, especially if its locked to a single race, offering a few options will make the class more playable, by making the visage form a choice.

At the expense of eroding away at a cohesive and distinct class identity, sure.

No thanks I'd rather have something else

[Cosmicpreds]

Cannot wait to have everyone see the Capital City and whatnot without exploiting and whatnot.

Makes me wonder why they're hiding the Ohn'ahran plains for week 5 then, prolly cause they wanted to do this first and THEN go through some Elune plot stuff after before Week 6+?

[Lahis]

Like, wtf is even the point of killing off lore characters anymore?


I don't dislike Ysera, and I'm aware of how little consequence the aspect of death in the Warcraft universe already was, but I just don't get the point of killing off a character (in an emotionally impactful fashion at that) to just bring them back.

Even more hilarious is that before Shadowlands it was kinda certain that she would come back. She is the Aspect of the Emerald Dream, and powerful beings tied to the Dream have been reborn before.

Then Shadowlands happen, and she is tied to Ardenweald, never to be reborn into the mortal plane again, making the whole Ardenweald questline really impactful.

And then they 180 that decision in the expansion after it and rebirth her anyways.

Christ in Hell, Blizz doesn't write stories, they coinflip stories.
