Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Lady Atia]

It's a bit weird, former winged Dragonspawn don't seem to have wings anymore.

Spoiler: 

They also lost their weird nipples. Which makes sense, drakonids/dragonspawn should be as genderneutral as dragons and dracthyr imo.

Why are you so foccused on this? Its so weird it seems some are really pushing this. Who cares if those are nipples?

[Kiria]

I wonder if dragon form will have a different voice. Worgen form does.

I should hope so, then again there's a possability it will just be more bellowee in Dragon form

Well it feels like an intentional change because Hearthstone played around with female Drakonids having tits. They are rolling that idea back and also the wings looks like they want to establish Dracthyr as special because they can fly (though I've never seen a Drakonid fly, so they were likely vestigal).

Looks like we have our Mythic mount for the first raid

Can I say this thing with the Oathstones feels lazy to me? Every zone is about a flight charging up their oathstone, it's cheap fantasy story.

It also serves no purpose beyond I guess making ready for when we do the time travel content patch and snatch the Tyr disc which in turn leads to the final showdown in 10.3 (Please..)

[Makabreska]

What does that even mean? There is no gender neutral voice.

Don't get baited, this is what this guy only talks about.

I am guessing the final one is the black which is either Underground or in the Dracthyr starting zone. COllect the Pillars, no the Oathstones, no the Dragonballs!

[Lahis]

They're obviously going to be male and female voices, Blizz are not that insane.

No they won't.

They will be Voice 1 and Voice 2. Probably even mismatched so that Voice 1 fits Body 2 and vice versa.

[Arafal]

I want Sims or Saints Row-esque voice options.

[Kiria]

I very much doubt that, I think some people are just taking things a little too far over the renaming of male and female bodies and are crying the sky is falling.

Considering how many times they have posted about the label change, the person you are quoting is one of those people.

Eh, the lads never used them and they didn't make that much sense either.

Frankly, it's good they never used them. Wings like that would never actually work and invariably look dumb in use.

It makes sense to me in light of the predicament of the Dragonflights and their Aspects post-Cata when they expended their power to destroy Deathwing. The Oathstones sound like a means for them to power up once more, restoring at least a degree of their former might in order to combat the many enemies that seem to be at their door during this expansion.

Blizzard has a thing for making us collect precisely 5 weird mcguffins.
First the Pillars, then the Sigils, now the Oathstones.

Sadly the latter 2 are not nearly as interesting as the Pillars.

[Aeluron Lightsong]

....If they intend to restore their former powers they need to explain it somehow. So thats not cheap.

[Lorgar Aurelian]

Only if we get a zombie voice and a singing section to go with it.

I think that's more coinkydink. It's been 5 aspect flights for a considerable amount of time, so 5 stones makes sense.

We usually only have to collect 4 sword fragments/special stones/a specific dredger's heads (they're weird, ok?) for raid shortcuts as well.

The issue is the formulaic and uninspired story. Each flight has a special thing, go capture it! Each the kind of plot you write for your campaign when you are twelve. I know cause I DID write that plot back then

Less of a weird thing and more of a writer's crutch.
