Battle for Azeroth Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Nathanyel]

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

Faction-specific ones are unlikely, as you aren't logged into a character at that point yet. Especially when you open the .exe directly, there is no account data available.

I'm guessing something azerite-specific.

F*ck off Gallywix, you fat ugly triple chinned bogey faced fk

[Lahis]

Sandboxes aren't exactly the best thing to do(Surprised Blizz hasn't said "HEY MMO STOP plz and ty")

No fansite posts stuff from Alpha sandboxes.

[CasualFilth]

It looks like the Alliance has taught the Blood Elves how to grow proper facial hair.

[Marlamin]

Eh, that's debatable. No zone previews are posted from sandboxes though, those are definitely not allowed.

so any news about that old high/blood elf coast? that is named quel'thalas. it was datamined to have something to do with the void elves....and in a recent video on youtube someone mentioned and showed that area again, he said that it is linked with the void elves somehow....still nothing though right? :/ i dont like the rift i wanted this area to be a hub for them

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.

Starting at Silverpine and going through Hillsbrad is incredibly efficient. Silverpine’s quests are so incredibly clumped together.

And it has the added benefit of probably the best story in all the Cata zones.

[Ramz]

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.

I believe chances are 80% Because there is lore support and representation in 5.2. NPCs. But we have yet wait and see. There is still a chance they won't get it because of too many combos? I dunno.

[Ningjinq]

All of the early zones that are designed around no mounts are incredibly fast with a mount. Definitely want to knock those out. Except Northern Barrens. Skip that.

[seraknis]

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.

nice.

thanks.


now I'm going to be hyped about zandalari paladins again.


really.

THANKS

Also skip Bloodmyst Isle and, to a lesser extent, Ghostlands. If you are going that road, that is. (I am not sure there is a big difference between pre-mount zones redesigned in Cata and post-mount ones, but maybe I have been inattentive.)

I hope it's something a long the lines of the cut off Sylvanas statue in front of the silent battlefield.

Not a bad picture to link to the Horde boys when they get too high on their idea of having the opening screen show the burning Teldrassil.

PS: It took all of 2 seconds for that to appear, LOL.

That -would- be a great loading screen...

[Jastall]

Quest leveling is so much better now. Tho a bit weir to go killing Dark Iron dwarfs in Loch Modan and Wetlands when I'll be leveling them by the end of the year.

Well, we've been massacring Nightborne left and right in early Legion and they're the Horde's BFFs now. Same for Zandalari. Different factions be different mon.

[TheramoreIsTheBomb]

Sorry but the login screen will feature two pillars or something that correlates to that. It's a meaning behind it that i'm not allowed to discuss but yeah. Anyways the gates of Lordaeron, an arch centered in front of Teldrassil burning are some examples.

[Nathanyel]

Honestly, anything faction related will feel horribly outdated by the time the second raid comes around. It's like using Warsong Hold/Valiance Keep as the WotLK screen.

[Valysar]

Maybe the Eye of Azshara, since she's on her way
