Battle for Azeroth Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Pantupino]

In other news, they changed how you buy the game, you just sub and get up to legion, need to only buy BfA to get the full game

[Seramore]

They can do a lot of class turning via hotfixes. There will be no major class changes for the first raid. Class changes will happen after the world first race for Uldir is over. So probably 3 months into the expansion. They also said they released 7.1 too soon. I agree.

8.1-mid-late November.
8.1.5 aka Azshara raid-January 2019
8.2- April 2019
8.2.5- tier 2- June 2019
8.3- October 2019
8.3.2 Final raid- December 2019
8.3.5 Final stuff- March 2020
9.0 Prepatch- August 2020
9.0 launch-September 2020.

My preditions.

They can do number tuning all they want via hotfixes, the problem with a lot of the classes is the lack of mechanical changes and how they feel like shit as a result, which will be fixed™ in 8.1.

[tristannarutofan]

the POINT is it does take time and effort to tweek a dozen classes made specifically to be different to all come out at 100% dmg/healing/ect

the only thing 'bad' that is going on is that some classes might do 10% more or less whatever than other classes, that would be a big deal if that was 'current' content but its not, the classes ARE designed to be balanced as much as possible at max level content and in order to make it balanced now would require entirely different algorithms. its basically expecting them to make an entirely seperate system than legion AND bfa JUST for that one month

WARBRINGERS animated short?? oh yes

Not denying that. I think its very overblown. Some classes are not very fun like shadow priest, but 90% of specs are either fine or great. You guys act like they took you back to vanilla spamming shadowbolt all day.

Don't tell the wannabe Classic players that. They will swear up and down that vanilla class gameplay was compelling (despite never having played it).

Did fullscreen mode get removed? I can only see Windowed and Windowed Fullscreen.

Vanilla was good because of the server community and the newness of it all. It never had good combat gameplay.

Yes. It's amazing how so many people don't know this stuff. Maybe we really do live in a bubble. I guess I know a lot more than your average WoW player.

Not sure who you're referring to by "you guys," I'm just saying why some classes feel like shit and aren't complete come BfA.

Is WQGF useless now ? (EU player here)

Well, I pay a ton of attention to the game and the fan sites, and I have been playing for 10 years and didn't hear of it anywhere at any point. To give you an idea I probably visit this site in particular about 40 times a day.

Yeah, you can't group for WQs anymore. Safe to uninstall.

Thanks! /10ch

I think I liked this thread better when RDA wasn't constantly fucking crying on every page in it.

this will never not be funny to me.
Frost Mage Classic rotation
Single Target: Frostbolt
AoE: Blizzard

EDIT: By the way, I asked this earlier, but prepatch madness swallowed my post I guess.
Is the new Arcane Torrent on the GCD or not?

Procs make class gameplay funny imo. And I think I will not like the classic gameplay

So...
The Latin American Spanish translated the Vol'jin achievement "Spirits be with you" as "Que los licores te guíen". Literally meaning "May the Liquor guide you"

Blizzard Quality assurance

[Porimlys]

is there anyway to just browse thru communities? I was really looking forward to this feature, but seems odd there's not like a like LFG style place where people can advertise their communities.

Maybe that's what it's always been about!

We were just goofed to think it was something spiritual, when it was all about the moonshine.
