Battle for Azeroth Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[QualityB]

I swear to God if I had a dollar for every post in the forum that had "lazy", "calling it now", or "you heard it here first", I could retire on the spot. Holy crap come up with something new once in awhile.

So since I turned 22 today, let me post this here:

Happy Birthday!

mmoc should blacklist the spammers in here and put them on a discord channel or something, who gives a shit if you're 22 or 12

I wonder if Allied Races will receive their own unique mounts like every other race. And, even though there are already reputation factions associated with most of them, I wonder if they'll receive their own faction-specific reps.

They got mounts already in game that would be perfect for them.

[Ningjinq]

Iirc, they’ve been quite ambiguous about if they’ll get their own racial mounts and thought I heard some hints they are definitely considering it.

Though figuring out what mounts some races would get is hard because they are already covered. Highmountain are not one of those, they could easily get updated Kodo mounts.

Nightborne: we already have a pretty easy to get manasaber.
Zandalari: I guess they can do some other dinosaur but certainly seems like we get raptors as a CE Mount.

Void Elves: options pretty open here, could be one of those Void sabers on Argus or Void infused hawk striders.
Lightforged: can’t figure them out since we just got armored holy Elekks.
Dark Irons: Rams I guess.

Do you think they'll ship Baine with Kayla?

[Aeluron Lightsong]

Do you think they'll ship Baine with Mayla?

Fixed that for you, and to answer your question: maybe?

[Raetary]

maybe that's the reason the highmountain joined the horde.

No mention of beta tho

It's pretty much all just speculation on Wowhead. 'One could imagine', 'we can speculate'.

Just trying to get clicks

https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=...&v=Xj2YSBC-XiI I haven’t seen this interview anywhere yet. Haven’t listened to it yet but it’s about classes in BfA with Hamlet. (Sigma on the class development forums)

WoWChakra's Interview with Ray Cobo and Shani Edwards
Beta might not be by the end of the year, but they hope to get it out at the beginning of the next year.

[Padwarle]

No idea why, but it appears that NA is getting a 8 hour maint this week. Strange. EU still has the normal 1 hour.

Sylvanas's dating app of choice is Cinder.

[Draedarr]

No it doesn't. Even an early October release would be on the high side. I believe most expansions average around 23.5 months. October would be 26 months, November 27 and December 28 months. July or August makes much more sense. The 2 zones playable at blizzcon plus 2 dungeons is more than any past expansion playable. Legion only had half a demon hunter zone. They are done enough to launch an early beta at this point zone wise. Systems might be a different story, but im 100% sure they could launch beta right now with 1 zone and 1 dungeon, and then another zone and dungeon 3 weeks later, and have yet another zone by early next year ready. If they launch past August I seriously have to question what the fuck that used all that time on. It certainly isn't more content. Im pretty happy with the expansion but they arent adding enough to justify more than 24 months from legion launch.

Exactly. i honestly think if they scrapped islands and warfronts they could launch very early Q2. Like April or May.

In one the Panels they said that each zone takes about 1 month to be done, they may have started the others and they could be in a near finished state right now, with only the Dungeos left.
For what they are talking in interviews, it appears that the tech for islands are pretty much done, they appear to be in the testing phase of the tech.
Launch could be in July/August if we follow this pattern.

That always ends up ending early so i wouldn't worry/get excited over that.
