Battle for Azeroth Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Caerule]

Seeing the skies of new continents, or any place since TBC really, just makes me terribly sad about how the skies look in the Vanilla WoW zones.

[MadamSerenity]

So by any chance Vol'dun will be added this new week?
And the PTR was just messing with me...
It had WoW and Warlords of Draenor...Not Alpha...

Are you saying that you have a WoW PTR and a WoD PTR? Have you checked your launcher?

Indeed worth checking the launcher as a WoD PTR appeared on my battle net when I was granted alpha access.

Is there any videos of the burning Teldrassil skybox? I'm pretty curious how it looks in motion.

One thing that would help every discussion is if ppl werent terrible and actually gave opinions rather than "x sucks"
Like im pretty sure that everyone agrees the uldir raid set looks good. But a lot of ppl want it to be gaudy and overdone. To ppl here wacky =cool and coolness equals how many spikes, spinning devices and glows it has.
But kts hard to know what they mean because thry dont actually give an opinion.
Thankfully that means their crap commentary is ignored.

Also that "alliance zone sucks" topic is still up.

Now someone with a brain might comment about quests with a similar story. Or how since its focused on gothic fantasy it doesnt feel as "epic" as the zandalari high fantasy.

But "it sucks" ok. Have fun being listened to by no one

I guess the coolness factor will be included on Mythic version of that gear.

Nice troll. I get that I'm possibly talking to a child but I'll bite: people have constantly said WTF HOW IS KUL TIRAS ALLOWED not even in regards to quests, but into theming as well. It appeals to a different audience and it's annoying to constantly hear about how something you aren't very invested in is objectively better because you like dinosaurs and the color gold.

Tribalism faction war shit in Alpha discussion is annoying.

Funny enough, I was questing with my husband a bit last night through the Alliance zones, and he said it has a very The Witcher type feel to it (he's played all 3 games), and he loves it. Clearly, there are still a lot of bugs and quite a few things aren't implemented yet, but if it does get fully fleshed out, the Alliance zones will probably be some of my favorites in the entire game.

The Alliance zone sucks topic, while written by an idiot, has a video explaining aspects of what they're doing wrong. Better feedback on the issue is provided on the official alpha forums. "It sucks" tells people it's worth looking into. And you can plainly see from the more elaborate critique on the forums that the issue isn't how "epic" it feels or distaste for gothic fantasy.

Rather, there's more a common impression that the zone starts strong, has a wonderful look to it, and then drops the ball somewhere in the middle.

Are you saying that you have a WoW PTR and a WoD PTR? Have you checked your launcher?

Just my main account with Battle for Azeroth pre-ordered and the WoW PTR with Warlords of Draenor...
No Alpha access thing around...

[Vynestra]

You don't know that. They could have sent the big wave for beta yesterday.

You don't know that.

You don't know that.

Sure I don't KNOW.

But unless blizzard is incompetent, then that's more than likely the reason.

but sure, sit here and tell me I don't know without providing any other possible reasoning because that's mmo-c.

Either way, if someone like me has apathy about the alpha, i'm sure others do, considering i've wanted in every single beta terribly except for this one.

Have you tried launching the Warlords PTR?

[Izalla]

Ur judging u coming bk to wow on the appearence of a zone?? Id judge on gameplay not on whether the zone looks good or not lol

He's already pre-ordered, and all he does is talk about how much he loves WoW. If he's unsubbed I'm an elephant.

But did you look at your launcher and check the account selection?

In any case, enjoy the sea priests from Stormsong.

I mean you did the same exact thing when my first post was about speculation too lol.

[MadamSerenity]

Here is another shot. Used Far Sight to get pictures.

[Drekmar]

Btw, anyone else shipping Talanji and Rokhan?

That would make him the ruler of Zandalari after Rastakhan dies. Would be funny.

[derpkitteh]

Btw, anyone else shipping Talanji and Rokhan?

no.

superior beings shouldn't mingle with lesser beings.

but i am shipping mayla and baine.

[Chickat]

Zuldazar is too colorful for my tastes. I like the palate of Kul Tiras far more.

Pandaria is my favorite continent, so guess which one I like best for BFA.

[Danare]

Guys!!!!

I GOT IN ALPHA

Check your blizzard accounts/blizzard app to see if you got in! Not sure when the wave went out but I just checked (after few days of not playing WoW) and there it was!

EDIT: now I have to remove my signature.. is there a signature for being in alpha club? xD

[derpkitteh]

It would make him the consort. Do we have any indication that Zandalari rulership is only patrilineal?

considering one of the ancient kings bosses is a big fat(dire maybe?) female, i'd say we have confirmation that it is not.
