Battle for Azeroth Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Vakir]

Talking power levels is fun, maybe you are the childish one for getting upset about it, lol.

I mean - it is, I guess, in a vacuum. Albeit a bit "spergy."

The problem is that the accompanying culture at large has a tendency to become obsessives about it and place almost all of their focus on relative power levels instead of characterization, setting, world-building, theming, or logical storytelling.

And it usually becomes super-vitriolic and toxic despite not even being the main thing and connected to a silly franchise for basically-children/"families." Like, sometimes things are going to be expressed unevenly or not reflective of "factual" power levels because it's cooler that way or it's for narrative.

Absolutely no chance? Riiiiight

Well, Zul beat her without even trying.

He's by far the most dangerous of the NPCs in that scene.

I've got to say, I really love his indirect fighting style. No great feats of magic. Just being one step ahead of everyone else.

[Traveler Voltin]

You don't build lasting alliances with that kind of attitude though ;P

Kill the leadership. Help the people.

[Jastall]

I liked Zul as well. Obviously he's going to be a villain, but I hope he keeps this one step ahead style when he faces us, and doesn't suddenly go ''mwahaha crush mortals with my big old god tentacle!!''.

Still, makes you question how insanely flammable Stormwind is if one tiny torch somewhere is enough to engulf the entire place in flames within minutes. Also makes you wonder how much raw cutscene power Jaina suddenly gets, that she can freeze an entire party of lore characters into helplessness, including the PC and a ten thousand year old elven mage. No doubt she'll be back to a more normal level when the narrative no longer requires her to be a raid boss.

Fire isn't a big deal but leaving it to spread generally doesn't end well for anyone. And No Jaina isn't being a raid boss.

Does make one wonder what kind of stone they used, since the fire somehow manages to spread to a stone pillar within seconds.

[Friendlyimmolation]

She received a a fragment of the power the TK had not drained during the raid battle.

Yeah, on a second watch I saw that as well. Zul throws a torch near the harbor and the entire keep is going up in smokes five minutes after. Pretty sure if they knew ahead of time, the Horde could have just dropped a few firebombs from the eagles into the city and laughed all the way back to Orgrimmar.

Doubtful, especially if Jaina was there. Long as Fire has oxygen the fire will keep going and really firebombing a city with civillians inside really isn't the best way to handle things.

[Shampro]

I've lost count of the ammount of times I've infiltrated Stormwind in the last 2 expansions lol.

I was jesting at how easily the city caught fire. Mostly.

[Deleted]

why is there no bfa feedback posted on official forums? not even one bug report lol. waste of alpha invite if you ask me

[Blayze]

With the revelation that buildings in vanilla were only modelled at the angles we needed to see them at, and how the entire world changed overnight with the Cataclysm, all that brick is probably just painted wood.

The first alpha wave is cor streamers and co. To advertise the game.


No fucking shit no one reports anything.

[Renley]

1)People are playing right now, and the initial wave was VERY small.
2)I've heard from several videos/streams that it's pretty refined right now with not many issues.
3)Could be forums are locked for whatever reason.

[Raetary]

.. nothing like Suramar?

Depends what you mean.

As in size?
Both boralus and zuldazar are just as big if not bigger than suramar.

As in lvl cap specific zone?
So far not.

[Vakir]

I mean, Sloot flat out jokingly slammed on his keyboard to indicate a fake bug report when bugs happened.

Everyone's aware no one gives a fuck.

[AngerFork]

.. nothing like Suramar?

We haven't seen one yet, but that doesn't mean one isn't there. It might well be the other faction's island that becomes our new max level zone, or perhaps it has something to do with the war campaign. Or perhaps there is nothing of that style.

If there is something like that, I doubt we'd see it before the rest of the areas on Zandalar and Kul'Tiras are opened up.
