    Dragonflight Zone Preview: The Forbidden Reach

    Dragonflight Zone Preview: The Forbidden Reach
    Originally Posted by Blizzard (Blue Tracker / Official Forums)
    The Forbidden Reach, once the secret training grounds of the black dragonflight, has descended into a broken and deserted landscape, lost to the ravages of time. Those few dragons who remember the island know that it is taboo to visit, a place where something dreadful fell. Those who have braved the shores found little of consequence in this cauldron-like caldera apart from a shattered landscape and nature-claimed ruins half buried by magma.

    No Longer Forgotten
    Neltharion the Earth-Warder fashioned these lands as a secret training ground for the ultimate soldiers, the dracthyr. But in the aftermath of a terrible battle, the island lay dormant and abandoned for ages.


    Time To Wake
    Deep beneath the surface, vast underground chambers contain legions of dracthyr, resting in magical stasis for thousands of years. As an ancient, magical surge ripples through the Forbidden Reach, the dracthyr are waking from their long slumber.


    In this place of ancient power, dracthyr Evokers will begin a journey that will lead them further into the mysteries of their past.


    Inhabitants of the Forbidden Reach
    Over the ages, the Forbidden Reach has been reclaimed by nature and wildlife who have made this land their home. Here are some that you'll meet on your journey.




    Journey through the Forbidden Reach and dive into the mysteries of the past as enemies and potential allies, new and old, are drawn to this place of ancient power.

    We look forward to sharing more details as development continues on Dragonflight. Visit the Dragonflight site for more information. Check WorldofWarcraft.com/news for updates and follow us on Twitter and Facebook.

    See you in the Dragon Isles!

    there's really a problem with the rendering and color palette of grass and plants, otherwise the art is okay-ish
    the fur looks like cardboard though, really weird

    You not liking it doesn't make it a "problem". The art and color are excellent.

    I can't do better because I don't have any artistic talents, but I'm still interested in the evolution of the game I'm passionate about; I'm not the only person making criticism related to the art, and it's important for that to happen if we want to have a chance to have it improved

    like already said, I'm very far to be alone making criticisms lately related to the art. the art and color is not always excellent. it ranges from bad to maybe excellent yes. there's some problems with the art team currently. saying the contrary is either ignoring it for some reasons, or having different tastes (can it be bad taste if it's tastes I do not like?)
    there's clear rendering issues because it's hard to recognize that it comes from wow, it used to be different. the art got cheaper over time.

    If you mean that flying fox kid it's a contrast and highlights thing. The texture looks a bit bleached.

    Do a side by side of DF versus Vanilla, WotLK, Mists, and Legion then tell me the art is "okay-ish" lol.
