World of Warcraft: Dragonflight

[Dragoncaller Alanna]

To be fair, we have no solid information on what sorts of rewards the pre-order will have. But also, Zandalari and Kul Tiran were added in a .5 patch, too. 8.1.5

They were added before that, they only became available at that point.

So how would look meta for Warden DH? Shadowy Vengeance form like Maiev? If that's the case then Wardens won't use only arcane and holy but also shadow magic.

Probably. DH's are the only reasonable choice for Warden class skin because of the mobility, otherwise they need a standalone class, but Blizz too lazy to do that now.

if they that skin then they better change every aspect of the class, not only visual affects but also voice lines and customization options.

New leaks:

The second bullet show this is waay bananas, its the same idea scrapped for death knights, where your current character die and you become a death knight.

It is also way too time consuming to level up one character to do all of that, then change their race. How will blizz sell race change, which was one of the reasons for allied races?

This microclass stuff is a swollen mess, the guy forgot forsakens are dark rangers as well and there is little reasons for maghar be necromancers and other races don't.

How about a mix?

[Velerios]

Just a little bit more than 72 Hours until this bullsh*t-speculation-thread can finally be locked because as it is obviously fake.

[Bladesyphon]

Agreed. I don't think the micro classes would be the fourth spec thing some people predicted. My thought is it would be for classes what Allied Races were for races - streamlined, easier to add.

Devil's advocate, tying Micro-Classes as an additional spec for classes would circumvent some of the problems people have brought up with the concept - the big one being how you get a pure-healing Micro Class that only has one spec to perform in a non-frustrating way solo.

How do you decide which classes got that fourth spec and which don't. And would the classes left out feel they get nothing new in the expansion?

I think the leak implies that any class could pick up the micro-class as a 4th spec, it's just depending on your main class, your microclass spec wouldn't be able to share gear (A Mage microclassing a Dragonknight, for instance). The leak made it sound like it was Blizzard's take on class swapping from Japaense MMOs, just to a lesser extent.

4 Micro classes - 4 Covenants (classes)

[Moose184]

There is no way the Silver Hand will go neutral again. Especially after how they treated Lady Liadrin and her Blood Knights during the Battle for Stromgarde.

And how did they treat her?

[Toppy]

I would be, very funny and sad if the Dragonblight "leak" was on purpose. A red herring, and they'll announce the "Real" expansion on the actual date.

Why sad?

People WANT the return to adventure that dragon stuff seems to imply. If they go "lol no its light vs dark expansion" the exact thing people DONT want, its just them admitting that they realize what people want, and dont care.

Dragonflight, the name, doesn't imply anything about the expansion we could get. Why invent reasons to hate on Blizzard?

I've been thinking about that as well. Because there is no way that the leak was an accident.

What the fuck. Dragonflight clearly means it's about dragons. You can't be serious.

Also the leaked image shows Alexstrasza.

Really? Why even play the game, discuss it, or come to fan sites if you are willing to ascribe Blizzard to being the villain by leaking a fake expansion just to upset players?

......................Are you kidding me. They don't want things spoiled so its more then likely it was an accident

Re-read what I posted and point out to me where I said it wouldn't be about Dragons? It could be the Dragons against the Void. The Dragons against the Light. The Dragons as the arbiters between the Light and the Void. None of which would be that nebulous "return to adventure" that people want.

Who said anything about them being a villain. Do you think that just because a company fakes leaks in order to increase the hype for their coming product, that that would make them evil?

But this sort of thing always happens right before the expansion. Has been happening for several expansions now. They accidentally put the code for Dragonflight already on the website. Sure.

So leaks have been happening for several expansions but you also doubt a leak happened this time? Wouldn't you call doing a bait and switch about expectations for an expansion as something a villain would do?
