Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

I wonder what their plan is for releasing the talents, there is no way all of them get published before alpha launch if they only do 1-2 per post.

If all of them are ready to test ingame there's no need for blog posts.

Or they can just straight up disable entire classes ingame until their talent trees are ready for testing.

Maybe it is just reading about them but the "final" row of talents just seem underwhelming. I was hoping they would be knock your socks off cool but that might just be because I don't care much for the released classes.

Oh, absolutely. I just never understood why that wasn't a thing for SP baseline to begin with. I felt like giving them Power Infusion but essentially removing the whole appeal of the ability (being a damage CD you can give to someone else) was a stupid move.



It is actually.

I remember the days unholy dk's had a similiar ability. It never felt good to give it away, and I think I never did back in ICC. These kind of things only work if you can't give it to yourself imo.

Shadow's final row is quite awesome ^.^

WoW and it's massive 20 year old spaghetti-codebase.

WoW is running on custom engine, on 20 year old spaghetti code and made with custom tools. You can bet your ass that any developer, no matter how experienced, will have a long acclimation period.

Over 1.5y of acclimation? We all know that WoW is old, but these numbers are an ass pull. They would not be able to so shit if new workers had this much learning, because people come and go all the time.

With how long Dispersion was the final talent, I am kinda used to it.


Idol of Y'Shaarj: Shadowfiend causes you to gain a benefit based on your target's current emotional state.

Ok, this one sounds hilarious.

1 to 2 classes on the first Friday each month, and once they all are done, the Alpha starts.

Wow, Dragonflight 2024 release confirmed??!

[Revamp Man]

The fact they went full force on the old God stuff is glorious
Interesting to see a corruption make it as a talent and I can't wait to try different builds on the mythictrap calculator since wowhead will need 5 reposts and 3 articles before making one

By the time your timelines' alpha starts we others will already enjoy the Dragon Isles.

[Teriz]

Loving the old god idols. Great flavor for Shadow .

It's a downwards trend. Obviously the next first friday of the next month has 0 talent trees. 2 > 1 > 0.

They don't need to be out before alpha. The vast majority of people won't have access to alpha.

[Kiivar86]

Ah, sorry I didn't see that it was posted already since the post about it was quite vague.

Anyways, the Shadow Priest "Idol of X" talents look super fun! Would love to take all of them haha.

"Vwyq agth sshoq'meg N'Zoth vra zz shfk qwor ga'halahs agthu. Uulg'ma, ag qam!"

But, I guess that would be madness, right? Right!?

Yeah the Idol choices both look kinda neat. I'd probably go N'Zoth but I need to see what Y'Shaarj's does.

[Sondrelk]

I think it's halving the amount, so next week we will get the shared talent tree and one of the specs of a specific class, after which we will get one spec tree, then half the talents of one tree, quarter of a talent tree, etc.
Once we reach a single talent being revealed we will then start going into developer livestream where they constantly iterate on how much speed rogue sprint will give.

Once more it is proven that Shadow Priests ultimately fail in containing the Void, succumb to the whispers, and become utterly crazy and unstable.

Only a select few mortals are allowed to control the Void with mastery and lucidity.

The Warlock class has a void creature as a servant so it isn't as rare as your fanfic makes it out to be.

[Nightshade711]

I hope they give demo locks perma Doomguard/Infernal again. Or at least give us viable builds to use more than only the felguard.

It was your beloved Blizzard that stated that Alleria Windrunner of the Ren'dorei is the first mortal to successfully defy the Shadows' whispers.

Both Shadow Priests and Warlocks are paltry novices who cannot compare to the Ren'dorei.
