Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

I am so tired of one line sentences and mystery boxes as the driving force of the narrative.

They are writing the story as if they just got introduced to roleplaying and haven't learned about paragraphs.

[Makabreska]

Jesus, the cutscene is awkward.
They really need to start working on expanding on their standard model animations, its baffles me how they haven't done so already with how much they utilize cutscenes.


That the 'floating' animation is still just the characters swimming in mid air is ridiculous.

There is really no need for that. Current animations easily support proper game engine custom cinematic, they just don't use them when player character is involved.

Also, work in progress.

It's obviously still in a very early stage.

This has been going on for years...

We always say that, and in the end ... it's the same

Yes, and it is still a minor issue since they pretty much only use these when player character is involved. Proper dramatic cutscenes that move plot are done properly. Plus, w/e extra animations they will add, they will never be able to remove awkwardness of it, especially in dubbing department.

[therumblings]

In game cinematics are shit and have been shit for years. They only got better in SL when they started using the unique cinematic level quality models/animations in them like the Anduin/Sylvanas one in Korthia and the Maw intro. Also lol, the "work in progress" shit has been there for years and most certainly does not mean they will improve it. Just take a look at the Argus "cinematics".

[Raetary]

"Only when they use the PC" translates to "all the time" btw.

Or have you not noticed that they have started implementing more and more cutscenes into the game over the years?
Blizzard has an interest in conveying parts of the story via cutscenes, that much is clear, so they absolutely should start allocating some of their resources into making them better.

I am aware cinematics exist, but i'm not talking about them.
Idk why you are even bringing them up.

Plus, w/e extra animations they will add, they will never be able to remove awkwardness of it, especially in dubbing department.

But they can alleviate some of that awkwardness by creating better suited animations, that they can use instead of the awkward ones we have currently.
Which is the point.

Prime example: Proper floating animations, instead of swimming through the air like a fucking fish.

[GR8GODZILLAGOD]

I really want to know what the PC's face looks like during that cinematic.

[TheFirstOnes]

Funny how the PTR isn’t up yet and we got like fuck all of the ACTUAL INFO

What do you mean we got confirmation that Sylvanas will be on trial, that there are several Zereths', Zovaal Raid Boss Room is called Heart of Eternity and is formed geometrically like the Cosmological map with Azeroth in the middle which appears true on both cosmological maps and again tieing back to Heart of Azeroth flavor text, Forge of Afterlives was deactivated what was it working on before it was deactivated, The Oracle Vision from Saezurah related to the 10SaezurahAwakens scene.

Nothing new would be on the PTR other than being able to test for next weeks build unless Blizzard wants to leak more of the narrative.

????

We got almost everything.

[Foreign Exchange Ztudent]

Literally the only question now is if Zovaal will be beamed or if reset is actually happening with the way they've been so on the nose about it.

[Varodoc]

Certainly they wouldn't recycle the Kamehameha ending thrice right

Was Green Jesus using Kamehameha on Deathwing and then PC using Kamehameha on N'Zoth not enough?

I find it funny to call this a "narrative", lol.

Sorry mate, that's another beam.

[huth]

Sorry mate, that's another beam.

At the end of a fight, a random gnome monk comes in and cuts Zovaal in half with a glowing disk.
