Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

Hm. On the one hand, that is the mount I voted for in the contest.

On the other hand, damn it, a cash shop?

...hate that I may well buy it then.

Ye, it sucks.
I voted for the mount too, but i'm not gonna touch the shop even with a 10 meter pole.

However, a reskin/recolor of that mount will most likely be used for some future content anyway.
It's just a matter of time until we get it conventionally.

[Marlamin]

Any encripted content found so far?

Yup! There's definitely a bunch of stuff. I only took a cursory look at one of the things, which seems to be a battle pet that uses the same rig as Vulpera do.

[Raetary]

Do we know what those spells are from?

The Icewall, Arcanosphere mage spells.
New dk and priest ability.

[AOL Instant Messenger]

Everyone talking about the astral/lunar armor

I’m here looking at the dragon bundle

Dragon isles 10.0

I'd be a little critical of that assumption. Keep in mind that dragons are a very common type of mount, so it's possible they're just doing this for that reason. If it doesn't include any new content, I'd be suspect of it. The Astral armor is more indicative of future plotlines because it has actual effort put into it in the spirit of new content, as opposed to simply being a bundle of preexisting mounts.

Probably more pvp talents.

Leaked 10.0 new talent tier abilities

Leaked 10.0 new talent tier abilities

Hah!
We'd need at least 2 more lawsuits to get them to introduce more talents.

I will brutalize the entirety of Ardenweald if it means getting this toy.

Jokes on you, Dragon Isles are actually Azeroth's two moons.

[rainhard]

This looks sharp.

[Kiivar86]

Looks like they're gonna put in the missing Venthyr flying mount. Was weird that wasn't in with the patch itself.

[Edward Wu]

This looks sharp.

whoa now, what is this?

[Marlamin]

whoa now, what is this?

New Item Upgrade UI, it's mentioned in the patch notes.

[Adoxe]

Anyone else getting wow errors when opening barber shop on the ptr?

There are signs of more customization coming in the future, there's a big ID gap in between customization choices (15797 -> 18248)/options (970 -> 1516) suggesting there's either:

- A lot of scrapped customizations made post 9.0.2
- A bunch of customizations still in the pipeline for the future
- A more exciting reason I'm not going to dare write out

For the more exciting reason, exactly how many customization options does the average race have total? Would, say, four new Allied Races, or even normal races, have that many total customization options cumulatively?

Finally getting Sethrak, I see.

Very hard to tell through the way they add new options, but you could definitely fit in a bunch of races in there. It could also just be erroronously added things that got removed afterwards, but I'm going to be keeping an eye on these tables through 9.1.5's PTR phase. Could be something.

Finally getting Sethrak, I see.

tuskarr first

[draugril]

Gimme Drakonids! Or Dragonmaw Orcs! Or straight up dragons!

… Honestly, anything but the Shadowlands races.

[Hugnomo]

Wishing and begging for an eventual introduction of playable Shadowlands races, as I have been since we first saw them. A new expac can introduce more races, but please, the four covenant races before the end of the expansion would be amazing, I'd be so happy.
