Battle for Azeroth Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[rda]

Didn't have a chance to play yet, but I checked TUJ and prices for new materials are amazingly low (30g per ore half-day into the expansion? it's peanuts).

It is a pleasure to see dumb get-rich-quick schemes like "roll gathering, spend the first hour farming materials, then the next three hours posting / undercutting / flipping" crash and burn. :-)

I'm honestly surprised when you meet the 'thornspeakers' of kul tiras your character goes 'are you druids?' and they straight up go 'yeah'. I was execting another wishy washy 'n-no its harvest magic' answer.

No, they're explicitly Druids. A different way of Druidism to the Cenarion Circle, but Druids.

On an unrelated note, Sethrak actually have male and female voices and use female titles for female voiced ones where appropriate, but models are completely identical.

So question. Why did they remove the gryphon exalted mounts again? https://wow.zamimg.com/uploads/scree...mal/729706.jpg This baby looked amazing and now we have no way of getting it

prob because the rep should be only one by faction, and not flying mounts

and because of the alliance complaining i think

To be honest, with professions ranks, you don't get much, unless you do the quests. I dont even have a full stack yet of anything

Think it depends on your server. I was amazed that I got almost 50k for 25 higher level scales and 100 lower level ones (sorry, can't remember the names) but on my server things are totally nuts.

It's not that:

Leystone ore posted across all of EU: 1,061,105
Ghost iron ore posted across all of EU: 1,030,205
Monelite ore posted across all of EU: 285,015 --- this is quite a lot already and the number will reach that for Legion ore in a week tops

In general, what happens is that in modern WoW get-rich-quick schemes backfire. The number of players keeps decreasing and the experience of an average player keeps growing. Get-rich-quick schemes necessarily play on lack of knowledge or lust of others, so they just run out of fuel.

It does depend on the server, but the global picture is obvious.

nice to see contracts make some gold though.

also the scrapping makes ore easy to get, it's inks that are rare

And XP gems.

Had to stop leveling at 119, absolutely exhausted but loving the content. Amount of bugs is surprisingly low, looks like they did a lot of QA between last Beta content build and current live build. Yay!

[rda]

Didn't have any serious bugs, yes, can confirm. Not that thrilled about the content, it's been meh, but nothing terribly bad. I like the zones way more than Legion ones, though, and this is a big factor for me. Mostly for their layout, visuals were cool in both expansions.

[Valysar]

NPCs hit so hard when we ding 120

[Chickat]

So my heart of azeroth ilev increased by 15 item levels, but the stats didnt go up? @Marlamin ?

I haven't actually checked if my stats went up when I leveled it up. Might have been a bug? Coming up on the next levelup hopefully sometime next week so I should be able to check then.

EDIT: It also might be worth noting that beta forums just disappeared. There might not be an end of beta event this time around.

Why is the expedition spirit healer, a Murloc?

Bwondsamedi (he's basically Ryuuk+Facilier lol)

Facepalm. All three characters are independent interpretations of Baron Samedi, and I actually doubt that for that Anime demon thingy.

[Raetary]

Wow, this is still going.

Impressive.

[Nathanyel]

Ryuuk is a Shinigami and he is nothing like Bwonsamdi

My point exactly. Anime is rarely inventing character tropes, and instead heavily draws from Eastern mythology.

Anime doesn't invent tropes. At most, they rose gradually over a dozen series.

Anime uses tropes heavily, tho.
