Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Raetary]

there's still a new mog and faerie dragon, though.

The mog is new, the faerie dragon is not.

The mount just changes colors.

[Val the Moofia Boss]

Actual colors:

This is just sad. The store mounts were the only ones the artists even tried on anymore and even they are just getting relegated to RECOLORS lmao. You know it's bad when Blizzard's art department isn't even trying anymore.

We are deep into the milking phase. This game is on the way out and the suits are trying to extract as much money as possible from what few consoomers are left.

The Faerie dragon pet I assume he meant. Not immediately obvious, but there is a high quality faerie dragon pet that I guess is the HD version of the old farie dragon critters.

Glad you just figured this out, you're about 10 years late though.

Interesting. Could this be an attempt to cleanse the LFG tool of boosting advertisements? Seems to be in line with the other long requested things they're adding this patch.

I meant the little pet in the bottom right window. It's red and has a chunkier appearance than the faerie dragons/sprite darters we have at the moment.

You are aware you are linking the version that explicitly states that the recolors were just a bug in the model viewer right? The shop seems to offer a bundle of most all the mounts, not showcasing recolors.

Read again, we are NOT getting recolors.
We THOUGHT we are getting recolors because wowhead fucked up when they extracted the file or something along those lines.

I posted a screenshot of the ACTUAL coloring.

Ohh man, I can see the cries of the downtrodden right now. The no phones meme will be back in full force for the people who were all to willing to complain way back when Blizzard required attaching an authenticator to get 4 extra bag slots.

You really underestimate Val's confirmation bias. Anything that he can milk to confirm his preexisting beliefs will be milked hard. I don't even know why the guy even is around here other than to doomsay and generally irritate everyone.

[Aeluron Lightsong]

The claim "X COMPANY IS MILKING X" is used far too much.

That and put animeesqe games on a pedestal but...........moving on.

And that is why people don't treat doomsayers seriously.

You couldn't wait 2 minutes or do minimal reserch before you vent, don't you?

Ah, yeah.

I missed that one.
So we are getting a new set and pet then.

Anything that reduces the boosting spamm in LFG is a +.

Honestly, I can understand that sentiment. It is true that Blizzard has been relying a bit more on the cash shop after subscribers considerably decreased. Although it is true that people overestimate it and look for anything to confirm their preexisting opinions, I do agree that they're leaning on it.

Yeah there's more and more ammo for it these days. For example in Hearthstone they just announced a new game mode that they are absolutely going to milk the SHIT out of players with.

[Raetary]

I'm a bit underwhelmed by the Nightborne squint eyes.

They don't really look that regal like on the NPC models, more like they just smoked some pot.

You say regal, i say the guys always looked like they’re taking a shit.

[Val the Moofia Boss]

Saw the update. My bad.

I don't even know why the guy even is around here other than to doomsay and generally irritate everyone.

I'm still a Warcraft fan (of the old lore and gamplay) and some tidbits of the new stuff is nice. Music quality has mostly gone downhill since Russell Brower stopped doing the music but we still get an occasional good piece. Art team is usually pretty good. Hoping the game gets better but I'm always disappointed.

Not sure where you've seen me simping for anime games. The only anime games I usually post about here are the Trails games and FFXIV, and I have a lot of criticisms for both. There is a guy in the FFXIV subforum who keeps calling me a FFXIV doomsayer and contrarian, so make of that what you will.

I suppose that does give you points. If you're consistent about it, that does make me out to be hasty and defensive, so I'll take fault for that and apologize for getting a bit insulting.

[Vasoka]

Did none of you brainiacs figure out that these store mount / transmog recolors will actually be available in game? Do you really think blizzard will shove recolors of their already released shop stuff in the shop?
