Battle for Azeroth Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Khrux]

Im at 3 hours 30 minutes at level 32. Seems to be about a level every 20 min or so, but not THAT much faster than you. No idea how people are leveling at race car speed.

Your choice of zone matters alot, I leveled a NB monk to 30 last night over 2 hours and that included 3 dungeons (gnomeregan/stockades/blackfathom deeps) but I was leveling in Ashenvale which for horde is absolutely horrible.

Quests are really far spread out, you have some really annoying ones like finding 9 stealthed NE archers that are spread across a massive quest area. You get sent back and forth from one side of the zone to the other and even back and forth between Ashenvale and Orgrimmar a few times.

So choose your zones wisely, some of the Vanilla quest content flowed really badly and can waste a ton of your time especially with only a 60% ground mount. I'm going to finish the Zoram'gar section of Ashenvale then I'm getting out of the zone ASAP for a smoother one like Hillsbrad or something.

About leveling, I noticed something weird. Two weeks ago I leveled arms war and mobs took several seconds to kill as expected. But now I'm leveling Lightforged surv hunter and I 1 shot everything with flanking strike. Is it the skill, or maybe heirloom spear?

It's the difference in abilities / talents.

Many specs one-shot things and many others have it pretty frustrating, especially at higher levels (WoD, in particular).

Specs are vastly imbalanced before max-level.

Sorry Undead boy, but the Alliance weapons look much better in the video!

[Blayze]

For once I'd like a mace that doesn't make me look like Timmy Mallett.

Survival Hunter is incredibly OP in leveling, especially lower levels, from my experience and others'.

Wonder what we'll get for the BfA login screen.

Possible candidates are:
-Different screens for A/H of the capital/something else factiony.
-Old God/Void Portal (unlikely)
-Ruins of Undercity

Be real with me here... what are the chances of Zandalari Paladins being a thing right now?

The base of Sargeras's sword, surrounded by azerite.
Sargeras's sword, as seen from a long distance away to show off how huge that thing is.
A wasteland, likely Silithus or the Seething Shore, either teeming with azerite or with a single piece of it front and centre. Perhaps with destroyed war machines in the background and off to the side.
A call back to the Reign of Chaos menu screen, with the rocks in the background replaced with azerite.

About the same as they were, last week.

I like the idea of a storm-lashed sea, with Horde and Alliance warships in the distance, viewed from and island beach with Azerite in the foreground, lit up by lightning...

That or the Undercity or Darnassus.

And that is...? You make it sound like I had the answer last week... I didnt. Believe it or not, not everyone knows everything and some times people ask questions to people who are more likely to have a better answer or idea on a subject.

[Veldoranz]

What kind of awful person would ever do that. /s

Why would she post publicaly about it though? Isn't that a big no-no as a person who runs a fan site? Unless she has permission or a F&F alpha.

That is to say "No one knows".

Last week, people hoped. This week, people hope.

The devs -have- said that the Alliance gets 1 paladin and the Horde gets 1 shaman, which is kind of a reflection of Vanilla. But we know that Dark Irons can be Paladins and -should- be Shamans, so it kind of throws that whole situation out of whack.

The chances are unchanged. Same now as they were, then. As they have been since the Zandalari were announced.

I'm pretty sure they were talking about the first batch of four races, where we have 1 shaman and 1 paladin.

That said, they also said that Dark Iron won't be able to be paladin, this may not be final though.

I, too, think they meant the first set.

And yeah, the Forbes Article said no Dark Iron Pallies, but Hazzikostas called Forbes to point out the misinformation and correct it. DiD -will- have paladins.

F&F alpha (for press) hasn't started yet. And installing the client early isn't against Blizzard's rules. Where do you think all the models and data on WoWHead comes from?

[Pulp5850]

I hope we'll get a build today.

[Zelk]

new build tonight?

Fits right in the Horde with orcs' massive spiky shoulderpads.
