Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Nymrohd]

There's nothing about misleading its just that in episode one people were saying "yo that's moruzond" and others saying "it can't be because we quest with nozdormu and it wouldn't make sense"
The eyes
The voice
The "I was the aspect of the bronze flight"

It's moruzond wanting her to show him the location of some lost artifact via her memory

Eh, he uses the past sense because he is no longer an Aspect. None of them are, they gave that power up to kill Deathwing.

Except there are no aspects anymore.. so the past tense has nothing to do with murozond.

People really need to stop searching for ways to be angry at blizzard just to be angry.

I mean it is all about how they interpret the will of the Titans. So it's more of an Organized Religion vs God kind of argument.

I do wonder what exactly Odyn being a Prime Designate allows him to do. We know it allows him to send reply code omega to Algalon to trigger Planetary Reorigination (which is what Loken could do when he got the title) but he doesn't seem to be allowed to order the other Keepers or even have any veto on decisions they make given the Aspects.

What a Prime Designate does is actully a good question. We know that Ra was supposedly the leader of the Titan Keepers given he was known as Highkeeper, but what exactly Oden did is a bit of a tossup. One would assume something important given he seemed to consider himself important.

Though then again, maybe it was something as simple as being the head keeper in charge of Ulduar, while Ra was the leader who was meant to go around directly ordering and leading all the other installations on Azeroth. We do after all know that the Halls of Valor used to be part of Ulduar, and that Ra primarily went around giving orders on what to build and where.

Yeee, I don't see Hozen models being anywhere near AR ready.

[Sondrelk]

Hopefully by Jinyu they actually mean Ankoan.

Might be a small difference in the grand scheme, but damn if I don't massively prefer the style of Ankoan.

Nothing says, that Jinyu would have to be paired with Hozen as an Allied Race.

Was the implementation of an Allied Race ever preceded by changes to the NPC model?

[Makabreska]

Then who else? And why even Jinyu in the first place? Last time we interacted with them was in MoP 8y ago.

Always the Gilgoblin option. That was afterall the consensus back in 8.2 when you had the hugely popular Ankoan on one hand coupled with the Gilgoblins for the Horde.

Any other race?

Dark Irons have no connection to Mag'har, Vulpera have no onnection with Mechagnomes (other than they are both small).

Seems like one of those incidental changes with no actual design intent being revealed.

[Cheezits]

The pair would probably be Jinyu/Mogu if both are Pandaria. The Rajani are AR bait, pair with the Zandalari faction wise and there were some theories that Ankoan Jinyu and Mogu would be the last races for BFA. Maybe this is related to that project?

Also note that they are called Jin'yu which might symbolize new lore.

"Jin'yu 2.0 Player Test" seems pretty explicit lol. Dragon Isles Underground was revealed the same way.

Might just be for 11.0 though. Unless it has something to do with the Abyssal Plane?

[Plehnard]

That seems like a lot of music.

That's a lot. Th first one directly got some Grizzly Hills vibes

Wasn't "Jin'yu 2.0" what they called Ankoan?

[Cheezits]

Unsure if that was their codenane in BFA. Maybe Marlamin would know?

I think calling them Jin'yu is interesting and reeks of new lore or new devs not knowing how their name is spelled. DF also directly following up to BFA kind of helps the idea (and Mogu would work as well as they are a Titan created race, and also have a faction that is directly helpful so might have a purpose in DF)

I am going to be so salty if we get Jinyu or Ankoan and the Horde get Mogu.

Grr.

They're building up to Sethrak again with the introduction of the Refti (the snake titan constructs) so there's that as well. Interesting times.

[Atticon]

The Ohnaran Plains leitmotif is god tier.

[Skildar]

why would someone want another race using night elf skeleton? I'd much rather have new races with new rigs and skeletons if new playable races are to come
