Battle for Azeroth Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Phunkle]

Ion beat him in the Vol de Tort competition so he had to step down.

Well, according to that 7 second video, Ion will be around for a few decades, then.

[Yarathir]

Yeah it was basically empty on dungeon and raid information, professions, and so on. Usually they take us through a couple of those, show us some cool screenshots and a few boss/item examples. Let's not even mention how little information we got on class changes. I'm used to BlizzCon being all like: "HIT CHANCE... GONE!"

I was hoping for some more armor and mount teases too. There's only really the frog mount they talked about, and we've only seen quest gear and the concept of the Warfront gear.

The Legion release even showcased some tier armor sets, so I was a bit surprised with how secretive it all was. Even the art panel just showed us the same things we saw in the zone previews anyway.

HAHA. One of the BlizzCon hosts walked by a girl getting her face painted, and he said "there's a guy getting his face painted". Once he walked by her and noticed she was a girl, he immediately said "couple of girls" to cover up for his blunder. (She was a little chubby with a sort of dude-like ponytail.)

Did I miss it or did he not actually answer the gold guy's question about item drops in the new scaled zones (the one about mob level 63 item drop not being available on scaled mob)

Basically said that if it dropped it before, it'll still drop it. They'll just drop different gold depending on level. They did allow for maybe changing things here and there if necessary.

Generally we get renamed to Alpha/Beta thread. MMOC mods are holding off on that for now due to the thread's size causing issues. Chaud said he'll figure out what to do with it next week.

Don't we need an actual Alpha/Beta for that, though? I mean, they announced nothing on that front so far.

[Chickat]

Yeah he's good looking, but I suspect it's because the other members of the team aren't so that plays in his favour! But still, I don't know, he's very nonchalant in his answers and I'm not a fan of that. My favourites are Kosak and Brode on the HS team, they're lovable! And Ion is my special awkward little cookienerd.

EDIT: But yeah, maybe he was sick. (Chris)

Ion is hot in his own way.

[leviathonlx]

Previously had some WoWEdit stuff. Hoping for that again. We'll see.

I think it's going to be for designing one of the 5 mans bosses with community feedback basically.

Nah, it's the big Vol de Tort effect talking.

[Marlamin]

I think it's going to be for designing one of the 5 mans bosses with community feedback basically.

Which would include some WoWEdit work.

Nope, we don't!

Same issue we had with the 7.0 thread or a potential issue with an even longer thread?

[Chickat]

What happened to Tom Chilton, by the way? Did they Dave Kosak him?

He moved onto a new unannounced project within blizzard.

In the art panel there was a 'joke?' about the big dinosaur being a mount (he laughed when he said it but not sure if serious or not). Would love it but doubt it will happen. Also, somewhere it was mentioned that you can get a mount like the Blood Trolls use.

Deepholm by night is so amazing

Which basically means you want more WoWedit stuff.

Yea most likely. The WoWEdit things are always cool.

Was expecting a certain login screen.

He said if a previous mob that used to be level 63 had an item they will still have that item even when they scale 60-80.

[Yarathir]

They also said we are getting the brontosaurus I think?

I thought they said maybe, but that it was likely too big.

It would make an ideal new traveler's mammoth or yak, though.

In the demo, it was also mentioned we will be able to get the bloods trolls mounts.

I asked someone to try, he did, shit broke and we decided to hold off until after BlizzCon so we don't break the site and stuff.

Which basically means you want more WoWedit stuff.

Ofcourse I do!
