Battle for Azeroth Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Marlamin]

It depends but , is there an official post to "confirm the shutdown" ?

No, but there wasn't last time either.

[Drekmar]

No, but there wasn't last time either.

Your site catches the build the moment its pushed on CDN or is there some delay?

There's a delay. I get instant notifications via Telegram but processing takes a few minutes.

You can keep an eye on sites like BlizzTrack that should be pretty fast as well.

Sorry, catching up, replying to some older posts:



Well I had another idea during MoP, to let Warlocks and Druids "tame" other appearances for their demons/forms, the Warlocks could transform their demon into an NPC appearance of the same type (mostly recolors) while Druids could take on certain animals' appearances, re-using aspects of Hunter tames, e.g. copying an NPC from the Cat family for Cat Form, but also some other families not immediately associated with the original forms, so Wolf or Raptor for "Cat Form", and Turtle or, yes, Direhorn for "Bear Form".
The way they implemented Artifact appearances has mostly killed my hopes for that, though.

Teah but to behonest I'd rather for each druid race to keep their style and theme rather than share stuff. So I'm not a fan of it. It was already painful to me to see that artifact feral weapon had a skin that should be default troll catform:

I've read that as instagram notification. Got me confused.

Developers Region is which realms exactly? Dev only/separate launcher?

That's the encrypted 8.0 build. We don't know more than that. Might be used for alpha, might be employee only.

EDIT: Battle.net app catalog update just pushed with some more translations for the word "Alpha". First Alpha related change since the initial one from 21/12.

[TheramoreIsTheBomb]

My launcher is updating

[Valysar]

My launcher is updating

Maybe for the Overwatch League thing

[Ningjinq]

To me the artifact skins for Druids eliminates a lot of the need for balance between Horde and Alliance Druid variations since the artifact skins are a lot more different than just the standard cat and bear forms.

[Vynestra]

My launcher is updating

I trust nothing you say, ever.

But it updating with the alpha thing is probably just them doing some back end stuff, I highly doubt alpha will be up tonight.

Yeah I don't like the Troll Druid forms either, excluding the Bat.

Well, at least some more options for the Travel Form would be nice, and preferably not via the glyph system - since the consolidation of Aquatic/Travel/Flight, you can only alter one of them.

So deciding to make a Zandalari Troll female and just saying will the Darkspear Tribe get along with them? And probably a Nightborne female. <3
Don't want to have my new Zandalari Troll char getting looks from the Horde Trolls.

My launcher didn't update at all either...
Usually it's for Tuesdays and days for the PTR when it updates...

[Ningjinq]

Well, the PTR is down.

[Ilir]

Well, the PTR is down.

You're a bit late

[Khirok]

Is the PTR being down longer bad or good?

[Draedarr]

Could be good, maybe it's more data being pushed, but who knows
Right now all we can do is wait.
Any news talk to us Marlamin

[rcshaggy]

PTR down and so release build hype?
