Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

They''ll probably put an elite world quest for it anyway.

[Kiivar86]

Only thing I can really think of is maybe changing the abilities in the talent trees that are the covenant spells, make them non-Shadowlands-y.

Which personally I think would be a pity as there's some nice animations in there.

I don't think they will, it makes sense from a lore standpoint that we still retain some of the powers from the past and so many players are already used to the visual effects and names, it'd just cause confusion.

Hm, I dunno. They've done it before - see some of the artifact abilities that became baseline/talents.

And some people seem unhappy at the idea of the covenant aesthetic coming with us. Hell, there's at least one person on this forum, for example.

The spells suiting the visuals of the classes is more important than someone taking a day or two to get used to the new look.

the artifact abilities mostly kept their names and visuals afaik

Not been following the DF news, did they change it so you can use Visage form in battle now and stay in it? Or are you still forced into dragon form?

Not sure about visage form, but you can stay in Dragon form even outside combat with a new spell.

No, but they did add a Spell that makes it so you immediately turn into your visage form upon leaving combat.

[Khaza-R]

No, but they did add a Spell that makes it so you immediately turn into your visage form upon leaving combat.

I wonder if they will be adding this for Worgen as well. I can't even remember the last time I used two-forms.

[Feali]

In the build tonight, a few classes are being given a few new animations

Warrior, Warlock, Demon Hunter

If any class needs new animations it's Monk. And please let me hit things with my weapon again.

Ah yes the classic "Soon(TM)"

People seriously need to deal with it instead of thinking they can bully Blizzard into deleting an expansion.

[Luck4]

Oh shit! The Ring of Blood is back!

So many fond memories of grouping up and defeating these elites back in the days.

Hopefully, it's max-level, and the quest chain rewards a weapon. #fingercrossed

Can only speak for WW Monk and Arcane Mage here but while WW Monk does still have the punch it lacks the, heh, "punch" it had with the extra visuals (sorry, had to), though that could be chalked up to it losing pretty much everything that made Strike of the Windlord what it was.

...actually now that I'm typing this, I wonder if we'll get it back in the talent tree? Fury Warriors got that Odyn's Fury ability back. Ok now I'm hopeful.

Anyway, nothing much replaced visually Mark of Aluneth, either.

So yeah, they can change things up. We'll see.

No argument from me. I think its a dumb idea to remove it anyway. Like I said, there are some real sweet animations in those things.

edit: we've got a build~

Monk baby
LETS GOOOOO!!!!!!

Aaaaand i have a new desktop background.

[Kiivar86]

Ok now that is lovely.

[Xilurm]

Pretty nice, reminds me of the MoP one. New place to explore and all.

Of course if they add a dragon flying down it will suddenly become way more like the Wrath one.
