Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Xilurm]

Two new encrypted cinematics were added in this build. One runs for 2 minutes 20 seconds and the other one runs for 3 minutes 30 seconds.

I'm scared of what one of these might entail.

They are linked, the gateway just isn't open anymore. Xe'ra somehow getting in touch with the Draenei there implies they're still part of the main reality, time is just distorted there due to bronze dragon shenanigans.

That is AU Xera or her equivalent.

[Izalla]

Do not know man, I think that we are speculating here. The fact is that WoD's Draenor still exists, and probably a whole universe with it. Hopefully they will address some of this in DF.

Pretty sure it's actually well established at this point that nothing besides the main timeline is "real". The only reason WoD Draenor exists is because Kairoz forced it into being by yanking it out of hypothetical-bronze-magic-land and attaching it to our universe. The reason it still exists is also because of that, but remember from the Mag'har recruitment scenario that in the last 30 years (as in, since it was forced into being and became part of our reality), the whole planet has just started to die. Speculation as to why (draenei blame the orcs; also theories it could be related to the light for some reason) often includes "because it isn't even supposed to exist and is now naturally degrading in a much slower, sadder way".

Demons blade is NOT a proc anymore! FINALLY!

[tristannarutofan]

I really dont think even time magic is strong enough to manifest a whole universe, or even anchor an existing one, to the point a single person can do that.

I think even though they arent the intended timeline the time multiverse exists.

And poknt of order the bronzes were of a single planet and empowered by one aspect of reality, order.

Its possible "one true timeline" is an aberation

this is why i didnt like the "one legion across all reality" because it makes naaru and other beings equivalent to demons also 1 for all

the entire discussion in this thread is hurting my head though

It looks too much like "air swimming" which is more like the old flying. I don't like it.

This is the best thing I've seen all week. Also, he has no cheese in front of him. I hope Nomi starts asking him about a wide variety of cheeses he would like to purchase.

Um… there’s plenty of cheese in front of him.

[Nymrohd]

Eh I can see a bit of cheese aging using time magic floating beside him but the things in front of him look like cutlery? They are forks, knives and spoons.

Our Outland is dying too, so it could be that Draenor's fate is to be destroyed in all realities. But as I said before we are just especulating here, although the only fact is that WoD's Draenor still exists, and I guess that if the Draenei over there build a space ship they could go back to Argus or other planets, I do not think that there is a wall of magic around Draenor that limits that universe to only one planet, but who knows.

Could be as simple as the further you go from the point that stabilized that AU, the more frayed reality gets.

I guess this answers what the lesbian centaur should do to get the Dryads attention.

It was really ironic the fact that Garrosh went to AU Draenor to prevent orcs from joining BL, yet in the end they did it anyway.

Yeah that looks really fucking bad.

Looks like I never got to experience good form of Dragonriding.

Someone was asking about the final boss of Dragonflight. Nomi the Firelord is here to burn your bacon.

Yeah this doesn't look as good as it did earlier on. It seemed that you could go really fast but if you did not keep control you'd be crashing left and right. Now seems far "easier"

Well someone just let Gul'dan free in their timeline instead of killing him. I wonder who that idiot was.

So basically, instead of making a better version of flying, Blizzard is conceding to those who just want to avoid content...

Hopefully Blizzard realizes that dragon riding should be challenging to some level. Making it trivial helps Boone but those who readily admit to not wanting to do open world content at all.
