Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Lahis]

nobody is talking about this? looks the most legit leak this far
was it already discussed and debunked?
tried to google the source but it's nowhere to be found, just a brand new account to troll with fake leaks?

Nobody is interested in fanfics.

[Nyel]

The only things Shadowlands does poorly is the boring theme, poor execution of the Maw, and the separated zones making the world feel smaller.

You say only things, but that’s basically the entire world building of Shadowlands. These are massive issues overall.

I really don’t think if the reception would have been way better without delays. Maybe if 9.1.5 was the launch version of the game regarding Torghast, Covenants and such.

And Torghast
And all of the new systems
And the entirety of character progression
And PvP
And Raiding
And the massively lower production values than BFA and Legion
And M+/dungeon design

Because it’s 100% fake and leaks in the past have never been that in-depth.

I broke into Ion's house last night to check out 9.2. A major feature is we get to date NPCs

Nah fam /10chars

Always makes me wonder why the "leakers" have to overdo things like this. The real leaks, especially on the more recent expansions, have always been small bits and pieces, rarely more than one properly formatted paragraph and small images, often without proper context.

Those are smaller niggles in the grand scheme. When I say that Shadowlands does those things poorly I mean as in those are actual definite problems that cannot be accounted for.

[TheFirstOnes]

What was leaked? I remember the name and logo being leaked early, did the content get leaked as well?

________

Imagine trying to sell us adventures as something new when we had 10-man raids back in TBC (and even in Vanilla if we count UBRS). To be fair, I still very much dig the idea. 10 man raids were always my favorite.

Was the name, some images and concept art, and I think a lil rundown on the plot/area the patch took place in.

Was on the official Blizzard site if you were clever enough to find it.

“SL’s theme is boring”

The fuck y’all lying for?

Not sure what you are talking about regarding PvE content, when for example top guilds praised the raids we got. You seem to deem everything in SL as a failure. You really hate this game, don't you?

“SL’s theme is boring”

SL’s execution is certainly boring. I don’t find any if the covenant zones and creatures very other-dimensional and the Maw is just forgettable as hell.

Do you wipe your arse when top guilds tell you to as well?

[Makabreska]

No. And I am also not particularly bothered by a random hater opinion of the game I enjoy.

Do you even play the game? Most of what you listed is the WoW standard model and has hardly changed, raiding and the bulk of pve is still great.

I'm honestly inclined to ask you the same question. If you think hardly anything has changed with the things I outlined, do you even play the game? I understand if you simply like the current model of WoW, I've no issue with that. But it's mind boggling that someone who plays this game pays so little attention that they think hardly anything has changed.

[Raetary]

Dungeons are fine and i have yet to see substantial complains about raiding, aside from loot problems.
So, i fail to see the issue regarding those things.

Raiding and dungeons have been great core wow content that is mostly unchanged since 2016, with the added benefit of the removal of AP grind. You can dislike something without being smug and claiming it's all Shadowlands' fault.

Honestly it doesn't seem like you'd even notice if they changed dungeons or raids in any way.

It inspires the eight deadly words of fiction: "I don't care about any of these characters."

[therumblings]

So you admit they haven't changed them, and show you know nothing about how I play the game. What is the point you are trying to make exactly?

That happened in BFA for everyone and Shadowlands doesn't have the shit factor because we're used to it already.

[Osmeric]

Indeed it did, and IMO BfA's theme was bad as well. But then (again IMO) BfA still felt worth playing. SL failed me more comprehensively, and the story could not save it for me.
