Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Chickat]

Which is still possible, although unlikely. Assuming at least the Phase 5 of TBCC is released by late May or early June and lasts 90-120 days like most other phases.

Still, that might have just been the original plan and shifted since he was given that information. Release dates are controlled by higher ups so even if Scalefaces source is a dev it might not be 100% up to date.

id be 100% willing to believe Scaleface had Season 4 not been announced. I think that was probably their initial plan, but either do to some delay, wanting to give wrath more space, or giving Dragonflight more interaction time as they know they need a good xpac. Could be a combination of the above tbh.

I think its likely they wanted more time, but could release it this year if need be. Wrath was releasing so within the last month or two decided to make a season 4 and give themselves 3-6 more months to get it right.

They know the xpac needs to be good.

Also, I don't know why people think Wrath is releasing September. Did Scaleface say that? If so, I think its likely they will push it back a month or even two now that they have more dev time for Dragonflight.

My prediction is this.

Wrath Classic- Late Oct/early Nov release.
10.0 Prepatch- late Feb 2023.
Dragonflight launch-Mid March 2023.

Doomhammer black plate should be the orcish heritage armor, since Thral don't deserve anymore

I think its probably just going to be another variation of this.

[Teriz]

Same to an extent.

Just really hoping the "more bulky" torso option they said we haven't seen yet.
If it's at minimum something like this I'll be happy.

Yeah, again, I have no issue with their bulkiness now that it's established that they're probably going to be the tallest race in the game. I think the bulkier form shown here is more than enough.

Blizzard will not kill Alleria and Turalyon, they are too popular, iconic, and beloved amongst the Alliance playerbase.

Alleria and Turalyon are not beloved characters. The vast majority of WoW players never played WC2. The only people who would actually be familiar with their characters would be those who bought the earliest Warcraft novels. The only reason why their names kept being brought up was because "Alleria and Turalyon are missing" was a loading screen blurb for years. If it wasn't for that blurb, no one would care. And if you polled people about how their favorite Alliance characters are, you would see Varian, Anduin, Jaina, Genn rank at the top, followed by Velen, Malfurion, Tyrande, and Muradin. And then maybe Alleria and Turalyon in the third wave, nowhere near the top.

Honestly, I'd love the bulkier torso as well.

Same here..can't wait...well guess I'll have to but, yeah. It's just disheartening to see so many people bashing it with knowing so little about it.

I was critical at first, but that was just my initial reaction phase that I typically go through. Sometimes I'm a little stubborn and judge too quickly as far as games are concerned. Once I get time to stew, I'm generally more receptive.

hahha nice! almost perfec missing vrykul;p

That's basically the grunt armor that they did an HD version of in WoD.

I think should they ever get to human and orc heritage armors it will be an ode to WC2 with variations representing every clan and kingdom.

Nerubians and Ethereals were always my dream, and they at least do seem more likely now.

I suppose they could do one like this instead.



But the one I linked above will always be synonymous with orcs for me.

I'm almost 100% sure we're getting Tuskarr as an AR very shortly. Maybe even in 9.2.5.

[Revamp Man]

They definitely fit

[Arcinatoss]

Tuskarr AR with Otter mount. As long as they can be rogues i'd be down

[Merryck]

Tuskarr AR might explain why preorders aren't out yet

[Ilir]

We won't get tuskarr with pre-order (in 9.2.5) imo since their graphic overhaul is 10.0 stuff.

[Syegfryed]

we already ahve this one, this exactly one in fact, it would be rly lame

[Ersula]

Do you think the acquisition quest would be in Northrend? That wouldn't make much sense.

[Nymrohd]

Nerubians and Ethereals were always my dream, and they at least do seem more likely now.

Likely as in within this decade? Before the fall of civilization?

[Lahis]

But now they can make 4K version!

[cocomen2]

Its perfect, thx man.
