WoW Shadowlands Alpha - Encrypted Build 9.0.1.33411, Battle.net App Catalog Update

[Sweetdeal]

It took 5 weeks after this for BFA so dont expect any public soonish.

Seems people looking for steady quality instead or risky new features.

I am for sure. At this point I really wish WoW would just rip off Grim Dawn and how they do their trees. They're layered like Path of Exile, but much more intuitive. Blizzard trying to be unique still is what's hurting them, imo. I don't think people care about how snowflake their game is.

so i guess the next version of wow is just going to be text based and have no graphics at all? thanks actibli$$ard

I want no grind, no rng bullshit like legiondaries, corruptions. No bullshit power system like essences or corruptions.
Basically MoP and WoD class design - classes perform and feel nice to play by default, by design.

grind is fine if done well,not infinite bs,corruption is also a gr8 system,but not when its the most rng crap ever with 53 outcomes,essences are AWSOME...but...ACCOUNT WIDE!

Shadowlands Alpha/beta is the new 8.3.5 replacement

Other than the cloak it was pretty bullshit-free. And the cloak didn't take that long if you came back, especially after they "fixed" the bad luck protection on drops. I'm fine with mop cloak v2 or wod ring v2, beats essences and actually impactful performance enhancers gated behind rng and/or time as well.

Also, not forcing people to play PvP to get performance in PvE - no bullshit like Blood of the Enemy or Conflict & Strife. Keep PvP and PvE separate.

Mop had the isle of thunder timegated tons of high end gear at Launch locked behind daily reps battle field barrens stuff time gated I think as well as having the legendary locked behind pvp so if you wanted to pve you had to pvp though it was far less.

Over all mop isn’t really a good example of what you want.

BFA Was wod 2.0.. Shadowlands is WOD 3.0

Nan the forum was clearly saying legion was Wod 2.0 when it was current so bfa was 3.0 and shadow lands is 4.0. We should just stop using actual patch numbers and just call every thing wod .0 at this point.

[EyeOculus]

Ion wasn't lying when he said in the interview that we will get soon™ informations.

I bet in a week or two there will be something official.

[SynDethroc]

Hopefully we'll start to see some new models and the new customizations soon!

[Zyrinx]

Looking forward to the updated character customisation and the...

Errmm...

Is it bad that that's the only thing I'm really excited about so far?

I really hope the tower thing is much much MUCH more actual fun than Horrific Visions.

But I'm excited about customizations, heh.

It's Alpha, they won't throw anything at once, for sure not max level content like Torghast. Most important will be class changes, obviously it won't be final thing, but we will see their direction.

Yeah its unlikely Thorgast will be available till mid/late beta. The state of classes will tell us a lot though. There weren't many major changes to classes from BFA alpha to live.

Please let the class (especially paladin) unpruning be good. ;__:

Ranged Survival please...

Theres really not much to get excited so far unless you are excited for the leveling experience and the quality of changes for people who have alts e.t.c.

In my case only thing that interest me are the returning of class abilities that were pruned at some point or lock away in another spec of a class.

I for one am. Never cared about customization, but making more alt? Sure I'm in! Also deprunding and classes that function without artifacts or azerite or any other for external help.

[Sigxy]

Happy they staying low this time not adding to many stuff. Final fantasy never do new good stuff and they have growing numbers, over 1.1 more active players now.

While I never really got into FF14, from what I understood they never mess around with the classes each expansion and try 'fresh them up' which is a good thing. If someone wanted to play something fresh, they would play a different class. Some people want to stick to what they liked (which is what I want to do) and don't get that option. So at least that I can appreciate.

And hopefully they stick true and get iirc they're getting rid of the endless grind we got with bfa.

Praying for new spells and talents. Arcane overhaul. Human model changes a la Wrathion.

[NoiseTank13]

I can't wait to be disappointed.

Not too much I hope - Arcane is already awesome.

Looking forward to the November release.
