World of Warcraft: Dragonflight

No leveling would be one of the worst ideas ever.

That's how I feel as well. I'd be pretty sad if there wasn't any leveling to do when the expansion hits. It's always one of the things I look forward to the most.

Unless.. ofcourse, this is where they add it ? Play a rogue and choose a secondary micro class. Now you have a rogue who can heal or tank

Wow can't really handle the spec system it has now to be honest. There are dead specs though there is rarely dead classes anymore...

The idea of sub specs couldn't work out well.

There's a few outliers here and there but overall spec tuning really isn't as bad as people claim it is.

Reposting this from the Speculation Thread, regarding Balor being mentioned in this leak:

Something that I find particularly interesting about the Dragonflight leak:

"Balor. Halfling race dealing with primordial fel enemies (think proto-demons, like what the Shadowlands creatures are to undead)."

Whereas Balor is another classic zone we have yet to explore, the mention of a halfling race is particularly interesting... especially since they are fighting proto-demons.

As well as Balor was held by the Stormreaver Clan, probably looking into Demon lore and summoned some primordial demons (Pre-Burning Legion ones I guess? Fits into this Cosmic exploration Blizzard seem fond of right now).

Leveling is redundant since Shadowlands. You need to quest through the main story anyway to get to endgame. There is no point in having levels anymore.

Has anyone considered that "WoW: Dragonflight" could be the new mobile game? From the first moment I thought it was a weird name for an expansion because in WoW the dragon lore is about.... dragonflightS. So unless all the dragonflights come together or some other lore reason - which I am not excluding as an option, just speculating - it would have made more sense to have the exp be called The Dragonflights. However, if it is the mobile game it makes perfect sense because for all we know, it could be a dragon riding/flying simulator So Dragonflight in that case would refer to both the lore entity that the Dragonflights are and the act of flying on a dragon. Well, 2 more weeks till we find out I guess.

Given that there's source code indicating multiple versions (Base, Heroic, Epic) which matches the versions of Shadowlands, its a safe bet its an expansion for the MMO and not mobile.

Unlikely, considering the strings we found are on the main WoW website (mobile game should have its own) and the strings are for prepurchase of a Standard, Heroic and Epic editions of WoW: Dragonflight, exactly the same sales model Shadowlands had

..Plus where is the "of" in the O of World? All other expansions have it.

It's in the middle of the "O" in World, like in all the other box art/logos. It's just a blur because of the resolution of the pic.

The hub city will be in the central Island of the Dragon Isles which is a titan facility.

I'd like that. As much as I don't mind Dalaran, its better to have a new place to spend the expansion in.

well ion did say something about getting rid of obstacles to fun. Unfortunately what he considers fun is max level end game group content. Everything else can fall by the wayside i guess.

Him and the other 40 people doing heroic end bosses in a month.

Current and past system might not work. So maybe its time for a change? To a new system that does work. And maybe subclasses is part of that new system

[wushootaki]

More than similarities is that they can pull a mythic path like in Pathfinder so for example


Warrior
DK
Pala

Can do the Dragon Guard as extra Tank spec.



The issue is that Tinker will be just Hunters almost?


Cloth DPS get nothing but Healer? Unless the CHRONOMANCER is a typo and is DPS

I doubt its a typo, as we see an example of a chronomancer healer in WoD. (I forget if tis Kairoz or Chromie, but one of them is fighting with us and healing us by rewinding time).

[Swnem]

Now it's gonna be disappointing if the reveal isn't at least half of this.

- - - Updated - - -

For me, it's not just the name. People are speaking about housing and classes/skins, but for me what is amazing is what they said about quel'thelas/ghostlands and Silvermoon becoming hostile (with scourge?). There is a quest about it on 9.2.5 and this is one hell of a guess if not true.

[Kalarm]

I doubt the feature leak is real. Housing is kinda the thing they always add in there to get people hyped, it's bait really. No levelling is super doubtful since it's one of the main reason to go through the new content. No levelling would almost feel more like a 9.4 patch than a 10.0. Then there is the class stuff which quite frankly seem to me like way too much trouble for them to do. Multiple new classes mean they don't even fix the "Not enough mail classes" problem and if they really did do class skins (which is also something that had been in previous fake leaks) I doubt they would leave out so many classes.

I'm in team "He got lucky and got the name right". A lot of the stuff in there are part of a lot of speculations. Remember, if you can go "Oh that would make sense because we heard about this other thing", they had the same info and can make an educated guess themselves.

Ah... forgot about that. I stand corrected then.
