Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Nymrohd]

Turalyon being hamfisted into becoming an evil zealot villain at this point would be so out of character that it'd shatter whatever believability is left in the story. Do a story about an antagonistic Light faction and bring back evil Yrel, sure, but if you throw Turalyon in there you might as well make Anduin and Velen megalomaniac mustache-twirling villains too and throw out any pretense of the characters or plot having an ounce of consistency. Really have no idea what makes people want another rehash of MoP but with the factions swapped this time after seeing how BfA went.

It's just the same 4-5 Horde stan accounts that keep pushing for it and the odd clickbait idiocy from WoWHead. That said Turalyon could align with Yrel early on if she comes peaceful but he will rebuke her as soon as she crosses the moral event horizon.

[8bithamster]

Damn, Turalyon is such a two-faced hypocrite. He is polite and diplomatic to the dracthyr, but later shows his true colors when he secretly orders Shaw to spy on them.

Almost like real life politicians right? Sounds like an accurate representation to me!

[Valysar]

Curious how long does it take to get the FOMO heirloom trinket for those who have tried?

I've 2 items, pretty quickly, the first one, one try, the second one, 2 trys.

[PotHockets]

Given Stormwind's history with dragons in particular, that is a rather smart step to take. And nothing wrong with being polite and diplomatic.



Science project dragons created by Neltharion, whose whole family has a history of manipulating stuff behind the scenes.

Hell, even Wrathion did it.

You'd be absolutely dumb to not prep something.

Yep and he's not even a dick about it. He finds common ground with Azurethos and is nothing but welcoming. He's just being cautious. He handled that shit better than anyone possibly could have

Yeah I agree I was all aboard the Turalyon as a villain train but with his current characterization it would make absolutely no sense for him to go nuts anytime soon. If anyone in the Alli leadership is gonna get hit with a villain bat it would probably be Alleria but even she is just chillin and even seemed less angry and on edge than usual when she interacted with Sylvanas.

[Dracullus]

Looks like maxing out event is easily doable in less than even on single character (of course assuming you have rest to buy transmog). Invasion boss is farmable.

Just takes a while to fly back and forth to turn the quest item.

It is called being smart. Being open to potential allies is important. So is being wary.

are enhancement shamans good post nerf in beta? I NEED TO KNOW

What's hypocritical about that? This is just normal business in his position. Any leader who doesn't keep tabs on the other parties involved is a bad leader.

I assure you, whatever country leaders you may be looking up to did the exact same thing.

[Cheezits]

I know it doesn't make sense until any kind of revamp, but I wish that they gave Turalyon a new uniforn that makes him more unified with the Alliance aesthetic.

Also I really hope the Iridicron(?) tease is a red herring because I don't think I'll be interested in a story where we fight a different colored protodrake every patch leading up to Galakrond/Nozdormu. Alexstraza mentioned a "hunger" so I assume he's the fire incarnate?

Iridikron is the earth one. Maybe he eats actual rock and tunnels to the dwarf place?

The sons of Hodir stuff makes me think the ice one will go to Northrend. Which might be the setting for 10.2.

No clue about the fire one. I thought it was odd the Dark Iron seem prominent in the Dragon Isles expedition. Maybe its been set up to explore the cultists and Ragnaros

[Nymrohd]

I do wonder what the relation between the primalists and the elements are. Razsageth is called Storm Eater which doesn't sound fun for Thunderaan. Maybe the elements will ally with us against them. Good way to bring back Thrall and give the Horde an iconic leader back (as a shaman instead of us a wimp who cries to his mom). Also can you imagine Rag coming back and this time being FRIENDLY with him?

They do use Thaelin a lot. Probably a favourite of the dev team? Can't complain, he is a cool dude.

I bet there may be a Northrend themed island where we deal with the ice one, and you're right the earth one could lead to the Underground. The Sons of Hodir don't really fit with the rock guy/underground theme.

Maybe the fire one will live on, as they are building up something going big on with fire elementals and the firelands? The new Firelord is gone.

[Valysar]

Still no invasions in Tirisfal, hum

[Lady Atia]

Has anyone who already owned a dragon kite got their twitch drop pet yet?

[Sondrelk]

Still no invasions in Tirisfal, hum

I wouldnt be shocked if they just flat out removed those and made the other invasions randomized on a timer instead. Would probably be difficult to have an event in a zone with not just two variants, but one that changes based on a quest that not everyone has done, and which additionally forces Alliance players into a Horde form even if you have not started the quest.

Just got mine half an hour ago or so. Definitely took a good few hour from when I accepted the reward to when I actually got it.

[Foreign Exchange Ztudent]

So I am just wondering why was all that money spent for this. Because it looks cool but its utility seems purely aesthetic to me.

Well, I mean worst case scenario we're getting Shadowlands rugpulled again with no content and people on 16 month sub durations getting the shock of their lives after being overhyped.

At best? It was a nice cinematic.

[boyzma]

Think it said it could take up to 24 hours. It said I earned one last night and still have nothing

Seems unlikely there would be much between the primalists and elements, protodrakes came about after the plains were made and most elementals were locked up so at most Mabye there parents or grand parents of some kind were elementals before turning to flesh.

[Raetary]

Transmog overriding my Dracthyr armor is so damn annoying.
