Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

Additional 20% Flight speed nerf?

Dracthyr old racial gave 20% more flight speed on continents they know. That was removed with the latest build and replaced with the 1 min cdr.

No new models?

He looks like that dog from disney now. The one in the desert with the fast running chicken.

Unless people are trolling on the subreddit, it appears the sacrifice required for Ysera's return ... is to exchange places with Malfurion.

At this point, I wouldn’t be mad if the chicken man had to go.

For the record, it is easy to be aware of his content, because his sheep fans keep polluting this forum with his content and try to declare his opinions fact that we should all worship. That guy literally commanded his fans to harrass players in game for buying the TBC Classic mount. Who do you think was the cause of the /spit emote taken out? He should have been banned over that.

If that is the case, I disapprove targeted and ordered mass harrasment - and yes, such behaviour should be banned, especially while taking into consideration his wide influential possibilities.

The dialogue is actually good and makes sense. At this point I wouldn't be surprised if Malfurion was liked by a certain dev though who may have decided to axe Ysera for the shock effect in Legion back than and now they make up for that haha.

Wow, that's pretty lackluster. There's no emotional connection to Malfurion in the first place, so even if in terms of lore it could be a big thing, from a player perspective - it has 0 impact I guess. And once again, cinematic and music departments have to carry the story.

Kalec could have replaced Malygos.
Wrathion/ Sabellian/ Ebonhorn will succeed Deathwing in his duties.
Why they choose to bring Ysera back over developing Merithra character? It ultimately undermines Ysera's story... first she died for no particular reason. Then she played major role in Shadowlands campaign, and now this? Ufff, that's tough story-writing.

Apparently, the shit writing in the last couple of expansions was not fault of Afrasiabi...

I am right, you really must be looking for Afrasiabi under your bed every night. . .

I don't know about that haha, but from my perspective, even though I liked him in warcraft 3, I always felt like they didn't know what to do with him in WoW. So even before this, in my mind I had thought of ways for him to make a great sacrifice. But my headcanon was him becoming one with the new world tree or something.
A lot of the reactions in the post are very negative, but I hope people will remember that this is just an excerpt and a lot of context is missing. There may be cinematics, quests, more story leading up to it, etc.

So fight shitty writing with shitty writing?

[Orby]

StarCraft: Ghost.

Starcraft: Ghost as far as I know wasnt completely done, 50% maybe, not even that. there's a video that someone leaked of Starcraft: Ghost gameplay of all the completed stuff.

YEah this is so stupid. Let's fuck up with Tyrande some more.

[RenTheCat]

Why do you think it's good and makes sense? Tyrande never acted like this before, it's extremely out of character, she doesn't constantly stutter, takes pauses and acts like a little girl. And it doesn't make sense that for a Dragon Aspect to resurrect someone needs to die, it has never been stated before.

He was. He was Metzen's favourite character. Very underused after Wc3 sadly.

Well it makes sense as it gives a meaning to another one of wow's past "let's axe a famous female character for the shock" stories, other than late GoT style "subverting expectations".

Malfurion: When she gave her life for mine in Val'sharah, it was not her time.

Malfurion: And now... the balance may be restored.

Besides that, Malfurion never really did anything anyways and now he can chill in Ardenweald. He will prolly be back in the cosmic expansion together with Sylvanas, and he may have learned a few new tricks by than. Also, poor Illidan I bet now he would like to leave that Seat of the Pantheon lol.

Edit: Oh also, yeah sure, having emotions makes one a little girl. I will be gladly stay a little girl forever, thank you.

[RenTheCat]

So you're only celebrating because a female character comes back to life, a male character dies, and you get to self insert as Tyrande? How... shallow.
