Community Reactions to the Dragonflight Leak + Memes

Recommended Posts

This weekend brought a giant bit of news as it seems we finally got a credible leak that genuinely may have come from Blizzard themselves, and as usual, the WoW community had quite a bit to say about it! Let's start off with a few memes.

Of course the main concern going into any expansion is what version of AP we're getting next:

We then have some expected movie comparisons:

And some players are already creating some leaks of their own, with the potential new race looking... not great!

Player comments on the Dragonflight concept range from a fear of a new Covenant-type system for each dragonflight, reputations, some new race/class hype, the ever dreaded new "AP" to grind, and more.

General

I am feeling optimistic for the new expansion. Dragons desperately need updated models. - Sirpidgey-
...
They just couldn't wait to put more clothes on Alexstraza. - BeavisRules187
...
In 10.2 Sylvanas is fully redeemed and become the ascpet of Justice. - TheLoneTomatoe
...
I can't wait to grind Dragon Cinders in Dragonghast, Tower of the Flights. - slalomz
...
More-ghast, The Infinite Dragon-Flight of Stairs - a core new feature!
The Infinite Dragonflight, led by the mysterious aspect Murozond, has turned Wyrmrest Temple into an unending maze of countless floors!
Venture through the temple as you ascend Infinite (dragon)Flights of Stairs to gain access to the the Lost Power of the Aspects, as well as find unique cosmetic rewards! But beware, as not only Infinite Stairs await you in More-ghast, but so do Infinite Dangers lurk... - MaxAsh
...
Somehow Onyxia has returned. Again…..again - Battlescarred98
...
Wait a minute...
WoW: Dragonflight
Dragons
Dragonborn
Skyrim
Skyrim was developed by Bethesda, who is owned by Microsoft
Who else is owned by Microsoft?
Blizzard Entertainment
Todd Howard you son of a bitch, you've done it again. - Twiddist
...
Landwalker -> Champion -> Mawwalker -> Dragonborn - Infinite_Army

A new class/race?

Some kind of Chromie-time weaver would be awesome. New healer/ ranged DPS class - Acrobatic_Ad5143
...
Let's get crazy: Dragonkin race.
Both factions get them. Black and Blue go Horde, Green and Red go Alliance. Bronze are both or neither. - Infernalism
...
I would love a Dragon Knight basically a winged Warrior. Heavy Armor, 2 Hander, breathes fire, etc... - Draethar
...
Alright, il settle for dragon tinkers. final offer. - onetimenancy

The AP discussion:

Ready to farm some DragonForce ? - BlurpleAki
...
Aspect Power, surely? - Palivarkin
...
Or Ascension Power? Story would probably be about re-empowering the flights with some Titan facility on the Dragon Isles. - Vhurindrar
...
Or " A Power" keep Is Simple - Jristz
...
Whatever it is I hope they keep the "AP" acronym.
I want to see how many expansions we can go before they run out of "A" words. - FaroraSF
...
Dragon Juice - KyrgyzManas

Dragon Covenants

I swear to fucking god if they make the dragonflight covenant system tied to player power instead of cosmetic only I am going to absolutely LOSE IT - drflanigan
...
Just have all the abilities be the same, just themed differently
I guess we’ll see what happens, I’m hopeful but also sceptical - drflanigan
...
Oh hello Dragon Aspects, with whom I have teamed up with to save the world from countless threats such as the Burning Legion, the Scourge, the Old Gods, other aspects like Malygos and fucking Deathwing.. of course we have a neutral reputation, why don’t you just tell me what menial tasks I can do for you to actually get a friendly - exalted relationship with you? - Squishy-Box
...
Oh man, and aspect respect. A distinctly different thing from rep that you gain by doing things in the expansion! - m1rrari
...

Also I have a feeling it’s gonna get awkward for DKs real quick.

That settles it, imma have my Deathlord-titled Frost DK join the Red Dragonflight.
What do you mean I'm suicidal? I'm already (un)dead. - AlbainBlacksteel

Ooof.    I felt that and the "Aspect Power" thing in my bones.     Chromie comes up to you like "Hey, I don't really trust you but collect all those dragon whelp droppings for nutritional analysis and maybe I'll trust you a liiitttttttle more."

I wonder why people leak stuff like this.

It's kinda horrible imo.

Like some 12 year old in the theater with chocolate all over his face yelling out loud about how the movie ends.

smh

Not exactly. It's like the kid came out of the theater and screams about a trailer he saw about an new upcoming movie. There's a huge difference between those two.

I was telling my wife that Blizzard might have leaked it themselves to build hype, and she said that they might've done it to see how the reaction will be. Either way, given the excitement over "Dragonflight", it better be true. Otherwise, when Blizz announces something totally different on April 19... people are gonna be really, really pissed LOL

it's Cataclysm 2. It's going to be about Nefarian

You mean the guy who got killed, raised in undeath, killed again, got turned into a neat pile of ashes and eventually his remnants were used by Wrathion to create a nifty cloak? THAT Nefarian?

I immediately thought about cloak from Doctor Strange. So we would be fighting a living cloak now, possessed by Nefarian's ghost.

Be nice if Blizz could think up a new idea instead of constantly running back to the well for the same things (with a small tweak) over and over again.  I mean the dragons themselves said during Cataclysm that their time was over and it was time for humans to move on.  It feels like Blizz throws an idea into the retirement home, forgets about it and only takes the idea out when the idea is now half-senile and they want something from it.  Guess this is what happens when they have no idea on what to do for an over-reaching story and just throw darts at the wall to get ideas.  Then you have free-to-play mobile games that have set up and teased nearly ten years of story going forward while small indy company Blizz's idea of story and world-building is rehash over rehash again and again.

Mmmm'yeah.. I have absolutely no hype about a Dragon's Xpac.. 😕

I hope new functionnalities will be great to compensate (and maybe I'll love the Xpac theme, I hope so^^).

Not overly thrilled about an expansion revolving around the Dragons seems to be lacking a plausible plot and meaningful story.  But then again was sorely dissappointed how Blizzard handled Arthas along with Sylvannas Windrunner in SL.  It's as if Blizzard is grasping at anything to make a WoW expansion.  There is still a few if not several loose ends from BFA and SL that still has been overlooked or simply swept under the rug.  One of them being the mad Turalyon and his exploits while Anduin was away from Azeroth in Christie's books.  Also this time around I'm not buying the new expansion once it's announced I rather want to know of all game mechanics, features, and player progession laid out bare in front of me before I make my decision.

I do apologize if my post seems a bit harsh or rather blunt I just don't want to endure another SL season 1 again and feel burned out before the start of season 2.

      The new War Within Allied Races was added to the Alpha today and we already have a full look at not only all their customization options, but their dances as well, courtesy of MrGM! You can check out the Earthen's racial abilities here if you missed them earlier. 
      Let's start with the more dynamic feature, with both male and female dances:
      And then there's big amount of customization options, as well as a size comparison with regular dwarves:

      So, are we liking the new Allied Race overall? More than actual dwarves?

      Here's a really cool possibility for the War Within, as a very subtle and mildly mysterious comment from Executive Producer and Vice President for WoW, Holly Longdale, may be hinting at our Warband characters getting a lot more involved in our travels! 
      First spotted by UlthansWrath, Longdale came up to Taliesin & Evitel at the recent London War Within Alpha press event and had a short chat about the Warband screen, when she casually said "wouldn't it be cool if those were the characters you took as your followers in your Follower Dungeons?" After the obvious confirmation from Taliesin and Evitel that, yes, yes it would be cool, she just said "hm" and that was the end of the conversation.
      Obviously this isn't any sort of official confirmation, but considering this is a really awesome idea, it seems likely Blizzard are at the very least discussing it, if not already working on it.

      The Warband system is already great, and this would add a lot to it for players that choose to go solo into dungeons, as it would give them even more motivation to get some great characters in their Warband - even if it was just a cosmetic option.
      So, what do you think, will we be seeing this feature when the War Within launches?
