Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[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.

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

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.

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

[Lorgar Aurelian]

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.

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.

Transmog overriding my Dracthyr armor is so damn annoying.

I still prefer this more than ten thousand hours of old orc crying about honor just to be oneshotted at the end of expansion.

Hide the shoulders and waist?

[Raetary]

Hide the shoulders and waist?

And fuck up the mog i use for my visage?

Marvelous idea! /s

If they can't seperate the models for mogging, then they should at least have the Dracthyr armor take priority over the item appearance.

[Jastall]

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.

I mean, for one Stormwind hardly has a good history with dragons, for two he knows that they can literally shapeshift into almost any humanoid form. He'd be a fool to not want an eye kept on them. Being cautious is not only in character but entirely sensible of him.

[Revamp Man]

So the incarnates are definitely the .1 bosses
I'm assuming infinite for.2 and finally the void/OG connection in .3

[Makabreska]

In .1 we deal only with 1 out of 4 Incarnates, and probably the weakest one, on top of that . When the other three would appear? And are we gonna pretend that Galakrond wont show up? And why suddenly Void in .3?

[Sondrelk]

Definitely is a strong word. They definitely seem to be designated villains of future patches, but I doubt all of them are the final boss of their own raid, or even just all of them as a single final raid boss. Maybe a mid-tier council boss, or more likely spread out over different content, one being a dungeon boss, one being a quest boss, etc.
I wouldnt be shocked if one turns out to be good, given how Alextrasza reacts.

[Dracullus]

Season 2 with 3 remaining incarnates could be split similar to first 'tier' of Legion. I'm not fan of Crucible of Storms mini raid, felt like waste of resources, but imo EN + ToV worked. And 3rd incarnate would get megadungeon (or just dungeon).

Then is S3 travel back in time patch with Galakrond where Nozdormu will finally snap and S4 finale with Murozond.

[Revamp Man]

. 1 there's only 3 left we take care of raz who is the weakest in the first raid

The infinite probably have something to do with galakrond since if they only want moruzond then they would want to kill the others before they get buffed

And for void and old god connection we know that OG blood is supposedly responsible for galakrond and we know Xal who is hinted at being an old god is out and about AND we see members of the twilight hammer cult in DF

One seems like end boss potential I'm assuming the others probably would be a council fight. No way it's all 3 at once

[Dracullus]

Overall event is slightly better than mediocre. Invasions are nothing special, but geting rewards is extremely quickly and everything is account-wide, so you can just gear another alt without stressing out you miss anything. New class and dungeon are of course substantial piece of content, but this is just part of DF released early. Haven't done Dracthyr intro yet, but intro 'questline' on main doesn't really introduce you to expac.

I would put it behind Legion, Cata, Wrath and BfA, but it's better than WoD/SL (and of course way better than MoP).

The idea is fine, I just think it needed to be more robust to be effective IMO. I understand though, it was probably best to be this way to focus on DF Mainly. Also Lol @ Wrathion saying the Dragon Isles await and then........

This is from the latest interview with Ion:

Q-15 (Berzerker): Is there anything about Dragonflight that you personally feel most proud of that is either going unnoticed or under-reported that you feel deserves more attention?

Ion Hazzikostas: Not really. The community is really good at turning over stones and examining every nook and cranny of the stuff we build. I will say that there is an unprecedented amount of encrypted narrative content in Dragonflight that no one has ever seen, and it is going to blow some minds in the weeks to come! There are multiple endgame narrative chapters and endgame campaigns that are available at level 70 that were not available on Beta. We have dozens of cutscenes that you’ll be seeing, so look forward to all of that!

[Teriz]

I am thankfully enjoying the Evoker class. I was worried that they wouldn’t click for me, but I am having a lot of fun with my little dragon.

I definitely find the “blue” side of devastation to be more enjoyable than the red side. Azure Strike is quickly becoming one of my favorite abilities, and I love proccing Eternity Surge off of Disintegrate.

[Dracullus]

Pandaria/Draenor world bosses have 'greatly' improved drop rate. This is exactly what I hoped when I heard about Dracthyr bug, my first thought was that they are doing something with system.

And I'm so glad I didn't bother with farming any of these 5 or stupid frogs. This year somehow I also got both Rocket & Infinite timereaver (which are candidates for nerf as well, although they are for evergreen content after all), so looks like I'm done with really painful drop rates.

[Alanar]

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.

I mean poeple have been saying it for years about him. Does he act evil right now? Nah not yet hes time, he will tho. But idk if thats a df story tbh.

[Xilurm]

No he doesn't. And people are saying that because they have no idea what they're talking about.
