Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[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?

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.

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.

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?

[Arafal]

Hide the shoulders and waist?

And fuck up the mog i use for my visage?

Marvelous idea! /s

- - - Updated - - -

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.

[Forum 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.

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.

. 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).
