World of Warcraft: Dragonflight

[Zankai27]

????

what? what is this supposed to be?

Is this a legit question about what a Minstrel is? They’re musicians, it’s like a Bard.

[Villager720]

We had a dungeon boss straight up name drop the expansion though, what in Shadowlands has pointed to the next expansion being about the dragonflights?

We did actually visit Alex at one point in SLs for Ysera. Elune is also vaguely tied to them and she makes a cameo too.

[Triceron]

I'm sure there is an internal tool that allows them to limit specs to certain races. Example being, aren't gnomes the only races that can use mecha pets? A technical problem seems like a small hoop to jump through vs running up a whole spec with all its own abilities and trees that would need pretty much all the attention a full class would need.

Gnomes and Goblins start with Mechapets, while every other race would have to learn it. I get that they could go the Racial route but at some point it still gets homogenized.

Granted this is all conjecture on what makes the most sense, if these things are even coming how we imagine. They might just do a class skin which would mean it's a veneer.
I think OP just got the name right, the rest of the leak seems improbable.

That is still quite a strong possibility.

The zone revamps are quite coincidental too then, if that's the case.

They are still in luck that they are the biggest on the MMORPG market. Even to this day there are plenty who are returning.
I do hope "Dragonflight" will bring us a fresh new WoW like Mists of Pandaria quality and that people actually are positive instead of negative towards the game.

they arent, for a while now.

Use a search engine, you should find plenty of "proof",
bet game does not even have 3m subs right now, and ff is way bigger than wow ever was.

[Deventh]

So what are the chances the OP just guessed the title of the next expansion? Because this leak legit sounds like one of the cooler ones, I even remember saying at the start of the leak season that if they do more mini classes like DH, they could easily fit in two classes in an expansion.

It also makes sense because moving forward they could fill their patches with class content too like new specs for each of the new classes as well as class skins.

If this turns out to be real, then I am actually excited to get back into WoW again. I still don't know if they can do right by player housing though, Wildstar and FF14 set the bar high on that.

They didn't guess just the title. They guessed the Lordaeron revamp and Quel'thalas revamp as well as Dark Ranger skin before the quest was datamined in 9.2.5

Thats not really proof though, just supposition.

I can buy this, it's pretty much the same shit like for Shadowlands, bunch of 'accidentally' leaked things.

its a legit question of who would make an "class" with "one spec" and name "minstrel", this is the worst name for a musician class.

would fit blizz 100% because they always make up bogus names to sound denk and hip.

[Deventh]

More than likely guessed Dragon Isles as a new zone too which is pretty much confirmed considering the name of the expansion.

What's wrong with minstrel? They weren't just musicians they were a specific kind of a musician.

[Krille]

One spec classes wouldn't work in WoW, which is why if this turns out to be true, I fully expect them to launch new specs for the classes in major patches or the inbetween patches
Like imagine this

.5 patches include a new spec, class skins and more additions to housing / story
Full patches include the usual stuff like new zones / revamps , raids, etc

it's also fully possible that the OP only got a snippet of information and made his/her own take on the information. It's possible these "classes" are incorporated into already existing classes as new specs.

[Magenugget]

What about the leak that was covered by Bellular a month ago? It didn't name a specific title but obviously also predicted the Dragon Isle theme and the way it went into details of the map and content makes it more credible than the one in the OP imo.

its sounds awful in a rpg

new specs for classes is something believable, but one spec class and this is it, is beyond obnoxious even for wow standards

[Lolites]

Microclasses do not make any sense whatsoever. 1 spec and if you want to do anything else then reroll a new class?

Healer want to farm/do world content? I mean its possible but no thanks lol.

pretty much this, it MIGHT have been believable a bit if it was just dps, maybe even tank but just healer spec? nope, not happening

[Sinured]

Micor classes sounds stupid. The name is just a lucky guess.

micor classes do sound stupid, i 100% agree.

I think the idea where we could adopt FFXIV's class swapping system for these microclasses could be what they end up doing. Have some NPC in the capital city swap your entire skillset. It could work for class skins as well.

It solves the issue that people would need to level from level 1 again, introduces a way for the system to introduce more microclasses during the expansion (sort of like allied races), and does not favor certain classes (such as the other proposed 4th spec ideas). Hell, tie it in with some lore questlines and it could be a great feature.

wow had how many at its top? 12m?
ff has more. period.

next time use google before you sit there and look like a drunken rambler

It's an even worse idea you can't swap classes, which means if you play a Minstrel, you're locked in as a healer permanently until you swap to an alt... At least Demon Hunters had two options between tank and dps.

The only content I can imagine where the Micro-class is in PVP... but that probably won't work too well either.

WoW has never been more alt friendly. This shouldn't be a problem.
