Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Valysar]

One rune = one week of timegating, we'll have to gather them all in order to enter Zereth Mortis

(or it's a new class, introduced in a final patch, Blizzard presents you, the Runomancer !)

[Masternicce]

I think today is the day that we finally learn something about 9.2. But if that is an actual reveal or just a date for the reveal we will see. No other blue posts up yet.

Right I was Pog

[LordKharon]

Hmm, those sound effects remind me of huge machines powered up&working all around the player...

[Aeluron Lightsong]

Now I'll be wondering about it all day >.>

[Nyel]

12 small runes. 12 classes.

[therumblings]

Well, 24 hours before the reveal, now I guess we all compile our last minute predictions.

[Sondrelk]

12 small runes. 12 classes.

Or alternatively...

Z E R E T H
M O R T I S

No need to overthink it.

[champstark]

big runes are tank/healer/dps

[Makorus]

Z E R E T H
M O R T I S

No need to overthink it.

I mean, the second and fourth runes are not the same, so its not that.

[Nyel]

I thought about playable roles, too.

[Lady Atia]

I thought about playable roles, too.

One rune for each class, one rune for each role?

[Sondrelk]

I mean, the second and fourth runes are not the same, so its not that.

Or it's just random runes meant to look cool before revealing it's Zereth Mortis.

But you are right, each if the runes seems to be unique, so it could absolutely be 12 classes.
Making each tier set emblazoned with each rune would be something to differentiate them if the sets are going to use a similar colorscheme.

[Ersula]

Azeroth map indicates we're going home?

Pretty sure that's just the default news header. They've used it before.

[Nyel]

One rune for each class, one rune for each role?

That’s what I was thinking. Guild Wars 2 is using these runes for classes since launch, that’s why I instantly was reminded of that. And it seems kinda fitting.

Tier sets is a good idea.

Sets for 12 classes.
Sets for each role.

[Valysar]

Maybe we'll forge out class set ourselves with the power of the First Ones, in order to kill Zovaal.

Only question is why would Blizzard make classes important again? Nothing so far has indicated that classes are in the focus of the story like they were in Legion.
I guess you could stretch and say it's because of tier sets returning, but still seems like a real left turn when the story has been so heavily leaning into the covenant stuff.

Would it be 12 tier sets for classes as usual with 3 bonuses on top depending on role then? a combination of sets and domination sockets active effect perhaps?

[Nyel]

I’ve read other ideas on Twitter:

12 + 3 in

12/3 for December 3rd PTR
3/12 for March 12th patch release

[AngerFork]

Something that catches my interest is that we have 12 runes in the tweet, yet only 8 of them are used in the circle piece. Why were those four left out?

[Kiivar86]

They even broadcast it on YouTube, so 100% sure this is the last content patch for Shadowlands.

How did you come up with that line of thought?

Anyway the teaser rune thing if anything makes me feel certain we aren't going to go to Borean Tundra or anywhere in Azeroth like those various supposed leaks claimed.

(I am prepared to be wrong and disappointed, however)
