Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Wonderment2]

Well they did say the Isles would be as big as Northrend.

I just checked the drawn map and it's not even in the plains zone. On the minimap map it looks similar coloured to plains.

Might just be ab asethic thing. My instant thoughts was like "sunken city" or future daralan position.

Could be a dungeon. Legion had the entire Eye of Azshara as an actual island off the zoast of Azsuna despite nothing actually being there until the secret mount boss.
On the same note we had BfA that had several islands off the coast that contained absolutely nothing beyond a few NPCs. It also had the giant crater looking area right next to King's Rest that was never used for anything.

Could be significant, or it could just be the designer trying to make the world look interesting.

Traitor dragonflight that maybe got sunken beneath the waves and will rise up in 10.1? A lot of possibilities there.

I know this may be the most uninteresting question regarding DF but is there a screenshot around with the Graphical settings from DF Alpha?
I'm curious if Blizzard added DLSS 2.0 or FSR 2.0 or any of the RayTracing Reflections / RayTracing Global Lighting

Fun detected: The Dracthyr flight has a cooldown that’s activated upon landing.

Even though it’s just 5 minutes, they shouldn’t have a cooldown at all. It’s like if they added a cooldown to running wild.

There's (seemingly) a patch island to the south of Azure span to the south.

Wow doesn't really have sea dragon. But could bring them in

Agreed. It's probably one of the unequivocally cool little features. Giving it a 5 min CD is silly.

So any thoughts on this Grand Time Adventure thing in the misc changes thread? Could it be one of the dungeons? A quest series, maybe?

Tuskarr Turtle boats are back and there is one that travels to the coast (doesn't stop) of every Azeroth continent.

That. Was. Amazing.

I've seen maps for things like "Pandaren Revolution", "Gnoll wars" (elwynn forest), "War of the Shifting sands". So that tracks for me

I know what those are. It's just that they're bundled under one parent tag.

CoT on steroids.

Also possibly alternative reality were murlocs conquered Dragonblight

Probably Chromie Scenario stuff 2.0 since everyone loved "Deaths of Chromie".

Nothing too exciting, but hey it sounds fun as a premise.

Yeah was thinking the same.

There's also a "Azermloth" map that's Dragonblight but with Murloc warbles as...everything.

Warlords of Azmerloth. For expansion 11

[MightyWarrior]

Not gonna lie, everything thats been revealed today looks amazing (apart for warrior talent tree) but thats still WIP.

Chromie Time 2 is incredibly exciting and I hope this is it!

[Slowpoke is a Gamer]

Holy shit, I think I just saw the best thing about this expansion.

It's at the timestamp.


Public transportation! THIS IS IT. THIS IS WHAT I WANT. MORE OF THIS! I NEED MORE!!!

You can finally go to Pandaria WITHOUT. USING. A. GODDAMN. PORTAL!!

I was actually just thinking "is our only access going to be the goddamn portal room again" and lo and behold I follow a quote chain to this video.

Wish they gave it proper stops at these locations. Maybe that's what the other boat is for. Always a fan of "public transportation" as you called it.
