Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Aeluron Lightsong]

Katrina Prestor, Onyxia is all the reason to be at least a bit "skeptical" from the POV of the regular Human in Stormwind. They don't have our insight that obviously the Drac'thyr aren't the enemy coming here.

[Cheezits]

I think they aren't going to touch SL for a little while because people are still mad about it in general, but the cov races are too busy to come to Azeroth anyway.

Tuskarr are more likely than ever because they have pretty simple bodies that can wear armor and they just added female models (not a requirement ofc but is a good hint they could be playable). Drakonid could happen, Gnoll unfortunately are too weirdly angled to be likely playable IMO. Their bodies are messed up (purposefully) and probably would have to get barber shop armor.

But I would bet a lot on Tuskarr. The Dwarf variant that has "mutated" is likely, and I think the stone sethrak are building up to a new Sethrak faction.

Can't wait for ppl complaining about another race with ugly women, if they add tuskarr. Also, imagine amount of clipping on the fangs.

Also let's remember that the Sundered Flame is out there and their intentions are at the very least not friendly.

It's an old race, people will go googoogaga over it just because it's from Wrath.

[Jaggler]

True, true... but what about a member of the Horde becoming a Venthyr?



Alas, I fear the window for that has passed.

Of course a possibility, but considering, becoming a venthyr takes a considerable amount of time and you know, dying, i would considere them more of a part of the shadowlands at that point.

The Maw Walker would of course still be able to, at least with the help of the Kyrian.

Of course, but I would assume that's not something that is done without a very explicit purpose and not something that's achieved easily.

I just think that it is way better for the Shadowlands and Azeroth, if we don't pull the SL races into the factions. It just doesn't... fit. While i thought it could be interesting at the start of the expansion mayself, i just don't see the appeal anymore. it just take too much explanation and isn't as natural as f.e. Nightborne, Vulpera or Mag'har.

I would not say Iron Horde Mag'har is a natural fit, I like them but it took a very creative and controversial story beat for them to appear. I'd like something creative like that if the Shadowlands races ever became playable (like for Venthyr, maybe related to chasing down the Nathrezim?)

All women are beautiful. If these people don't like tuskarr, they can go and play something else.

All tuskarr are beautiful*
Plenty of ugly women wherever you go.

Yeah right. And then you have race that only 1% of players use. Wasted resources. Also, your first sentence is not true.

Assuming blizzard won't screw up tuskars like they did for example with nightborne.

Fair point, but i would say Mag'har are essential enough that would warrant such a story (it was also a way to salvage some WoD-enemies into current azeroth with the saberon and botani coming with the Mag'har). I just think that the SL races don't really fit into the whole faction dynamic we have on Azeroth, and unless there are neutral AR's it just is a waste. In the bestcase it's kinda nice, in the worst case it damages the stories of both the factions and the SL races.

Objectively wrong on both counts, good job. "How dare the women in my media not be super model bimbo looking"

[Nathanyel]

Discard the "standard" races (Blood Elves, Night Elves, Orcs, Humans) which make up 50% of the population (EU and NA respectively) and consider the total number of playable races by now, and that Allied Races arrived considerably late into the game, so that most of these are alts, it's okay numbers across the board.

[Tyris Flare]

Better to spend those resources adding customizations to races people actually play, or improving old textures, or anything else the art/aniimation department could be doing instead, imo.

This basically. There is so many ways to improve what we already have.

Mate, stop puting words in my mouth, this is silly. Look around yourself in Stormwind and count how many kultiran women you can. Count other races. Then tell me who is wrong.

So that's not what you implied when you said somehow that aesthetic preference is objective when it is in fact, not? You said not everyone is beautiful. You literally cannot prove this at all. What you implied is incredibly shallow, an as such, I responded in kind. You're still wrong.

And I stand by my word. But this is not a thread for that kind of discussion, so I'm gonna stop it right here. Count those kultirans.
