Community Reactions to the Dragonflight Leak + Memes

Recommended Posts

zdkF9br.jpg
 

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

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.

      We have another triple entry in the hotfix ledger, as Radiant Echoes gets more improvements in retail, while Season of Discovery and Cata Classic get additional class changes.
       August 7  (Source)
      Player-characters
      Steady Flight should no longer be removed after entering an Arena. Quests
      We tuned up the Prototype Shredder MK-03 so that “Eye for an Eye” can be completed. Radiant Echoes Event
      Increased Flightstone and upgrade Crest drop rates in the event. Reduced the HP scaling on all event bosses so that they should be killable in a more-reasonable timeframe. Developers’ notes: This includes both ‘minibosses’ (e.g. Hogger, Thorim) and final bosses (e.g. Remembered Onyxia, Ragnaros). Season of Discovery
      Hunter Heart of the Lion once again has a 100 yard range. Warrior The Focused Rage rune will now correctly reduce the cost of Meathook by 3. Cataclysm Classic
      Fixed an issue where Faerie Fire did not deal intended amounts of threat when used on NPCs targeting another unit.

      Due to a bug introduced with the War Within pre-patch, some players are receiving item level 250 gear from the weekly cache.
      We've seen numerous reports on Reddit and the official forums that the Last Hurrah weekly quest on live servers drop low-level gear for some players. Apparently, the bug was first introduced with the War Within pre-patch two weeks ago and still hasn't been fixed.
      Here's an example of a low item level drop from the Cache of Awakened Treasures by Omnifox.

      Week 2 brings quite a few changes, as Hunters in particular rise up, while Shadow has a really bad time. The top 3 remains the same and very consistent, so let's jump in and see what's going on.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      The top 3 remains quite stable with the Evoker-Paladin-Warrior trio reigning supreme. We see the first change of the week right after that though, as Frost DK continues its upward march in dungeons as well as in raids, taking 4th from Elemental. Both DKs are on the rise, as Unholy also moves a spot up, taking advantage of Shadow's precipitous 5-spot fall to the bottom of the top 10. Arms remains stable as two Hunters burst in, Beast Mastery taking 8th and Marksmanship 9th, as Frost Mage disappears down towards the bottom. Speaking of the bottom, Devastation gets some new roommates there, as Outlaw and Destruction fall and give Enhancement and Feral a break.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      As with the top percentiles, the top 3 remains solid, but 4th is immediately changed, thanks to Shadow's massive drop in performance this week. The Priest loses even more ground here, falling 9 spots into 13th, opening 4th up for Arms. Beast Mastery moves even higher here, grabbing 5th and moving in front of Elemental and Frost DK, as Marksmanship brings up the rear and completes the Hunter sandwich in 8th. Affliction breaks into the top 10, just ahead of Unholy which dropped to the final spot.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Raw DPS U.GG DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks.
      Frost DK finds itself on top in the raw DPS rankings, as Augmentation isn't calculated properly here. Fury and Arms grab the next two spots, moving ahead of Ret, and the Fyr'alath wins continue in 5th, where Unholy finished the legendary axe streak. Even Survival joins the Hunter good times in 8th, where all three specs gather, just ahead of Balance who closes out the top 10.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides (updated for the pre-patch), as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

      MoP Remix characters that will transfer over to retail will receive a gear boost!
      With Patch 11.0.2 now live on Public Test Realms, you can copy over MoP Remix characters from retail! It appears all MoP Remix characters will receive a character boost so you can dive straight into action when the War Within expansion launches.

      We can't unfortunately log in to the game with the MoP Remix char on the PTR so we can't confirm the Item Level of gear for max level characters. However, keep in mind that the gear boost will scale with your level, so if you're below max cap, you will receive gear appropriate to your current level.
      When Can We Expect MoP Remix Characters to Transfer to Retail?
      MoP Remix ends on August 19, so we assume the characters will need to be transferred to retail by August 22 when Early Access begins.
