Battle for Azeroth Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Slowpoke is a Gamer]

Is that for certain? Couldn't they have the patch come in between weeks? I've not really paid attention in the past and I've not been active this close to a raid actually opening for a while. I've been coming back later in patch cycles recently.

Blizz is kinda.... obsessive about not releasing major updates during the release cycle. Since 7.3.5 will almost certainly bring with it class changes based on what the devs saw in Antorus.

Maybe they just say "we only care about Mythic, once there's a world first we'll release 7.3.5" but I doubt it.

Look how there is no link button next to Fahrad's name? Shadochi manually made a quote there, he did not quote the actual post.

I was referring to how he instantly had the link to the thread I was talking about earlier.

If 7.3.5 actually were to add daily quest content (just more wq stuff like Broken Isles and Argus with a spin or 2) that certainly would help tons in having a much more manageable content drought.

Relatedly to that, I believe if 7.3.5 doesn’t hit he first week of February we won’t actually get Ulduar Timewalking until May. I’d love if they added a new mount that you get from doing Alone in the Dark in Ulduar. That would be quite fun to try imo. (Hard modes are in)

Wowhead posted another interview about class design this time. Copied part below is possibly some clarification about the lack of class changes in demo:

“Battle for Azeroth does not have a Legion-type project of opening up every spec for a revamp.
Class design is more of a continuation of what's been happening since Legion. A few classes will be targeted in rounds, similar to Discipline in 7.2.5, and Feral/Frost in 7.3.
Most rotations will stay the same in Battle for Azeroth, and the class team will identify which specs are the highest priority to change.”

So tl;dr, that probably explains why they didn’t talk about class changes and demo is probably relatively accurate of the lack of changes.

Really disappointed to read this. Most Legion specs are so bland that it's a shame that Blizzard wants to continue on their class design way.

So pre-patch hopefully in February or March?
I am just hoping...

Was it mentioned if the other islands appear at all?
What is missing so far...
Zul'dare and Crestfall (They are with Kul'Tiras...)
Plunder Isle (Home of the Bloodsail Buccaneers.) (Would be nice to have it south of the Eastern Kingdoms)
Tel'Abim (Hopefully home of humanoid Gorillas who rule the large island near Kalimdor)
Dragon Isles (They were in Warcraft II)
etc...

If by pre-patch, you mean 8.0...then no.

If you mean 7.3.5, then yes. But that is not the pre-patch for BfA.

The only good part about that is that it can cut off a few months of development time.

I don’t think those islands could be ruled out for their island exploration 3 man content. Tel’abim better be in this xpac somewhere imo.

You'd roll anything with fel on it tbh. We'd give you fell quilboars or even fel cockroaches, you'd still want to roll one.

[Ningjinq]

Speaking of, I’m surprised they didn’t allow Highmountain Tauren to be Warlocks.

Green is the Superior color.

The only four things I would roll with Fel on them would be the following:
Man'ari
Winged Eredar
Felbourne
Fel Orcs.

Guys I have an off-topic question: last year they added new Winter Veil music, I wasn't playing at the time and I was wondering: was it playing in the capitole cities?

Yes, they were being played in the capital cities, it was beautiful.

You can skip to 12:58, beautiful !
