Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Kiria]

Maybe going a little bit against the grain here, but if these leaks are true, I'm happy we're getting a more monstrous race instead of a facsimile of a human person.
Getting more diverse fantasies in the game is something I look forward to.

Why do a few people want monstrosity looking races.... They're so unappealing.

[Marlamin]

I’m just going to wait until Blizzard makes everything official.

That's always been the smartest way to go about it. We'll know in just over 6 hours!

Unappealing to you*

[Syegfryed]

They definitely have other forms. Can you imagine horned humans walking around Orgrimmar? Surely Blizzard is not this dumb. They need a win, not another fail. Making the new race DoA is not a win.

No, blizzard is that dumb, see demon hunters, they would 100% do that just to milky the elf fans

Look how many people are drooling over the "horned elf" wanting to disable the dragon form

[ZyntosAran]

I am just waiting for someone leaking the full on presentation slides (or screens)

not everyone want to be elves in a fantasy RPG, there is more than jsut external appearance

Yeah, some of this is just not adding up. Instead of giving myself a headache, I’m just going to wait before getting excited/disappointed.

I'm confused by what you mean by this. The only point I'm making is that Alexstrasza has a full dragon form. Why would she feel the need to transform into this drakonid-looking thing all of a sudden?

Yep, my thoughts as well. And this is why I’m not believing this stuff until Blizzard shows it to me themselves.

Yeeeeah you may have a point. I still hope we have orcs or trolls as possible base forms.

[Syegfryed]

Imba, there is no new race, is just a class that work like demon hunter, turn into a demon/dragonoid form

[Amstrup]

Not just me but a whole bunch of players, the minority are the ones who want ugly races and then end up not playing them because they prefer their more asphetically appealing races, it's been tried and tested many times look at open world PvP or hardcore PvP...

You think you do...

[Wangming]

What I want is a map. Or the new UI.

I mean so far from leaked images it doens't really look monstrous or fierce, more like human wearing a pajama transmog from blizzard shop.

[Zulggun]

It's for new 9.2.5 quests where you find Sylvanas after she finished collecting souls in the maw and comes back as main character for 10.0

Are you seriously implying no one plays orcs, draenei, trolls, worgen, etc? lmao

a bunch of other elf players, they can keep playing elves, and we play other things.

If you look at the numbers, fair amount of players play ugly races like forsaken, orcs and trolls, so, yeah, wrong.

I can believe those mechanics, but I doubt Blizzard would use a dragon form that looks so close to metamorphosis.

Considering we have not seen the full spectrum of customizations for both genders I reserve judgement, jokes aside once they dress up they're not so bad looking, what really bothers me other than the presumed inability to equip armor, are the wings, personally i would have gone with elemental dragonflight-colored wings (wrathion trinket had a similar effect iirc)

Edit - meaning they summoned the wings only to fly/glide like demon hunters

You're all having a go at me now but we shall see, these monstrous races will not be as popular as you perceive.
