Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

Hope vs Despair, sounds familiar for some reason..

Wait...I forget, whatcha mean?

Hope vs Despair, sounds familiar for some reason..

Its not uncommon to hear these mentioned together. They are polar opposites. Despair basically means "Dishope". Why the English chose the germanic version for Hope and the romanic version for Despair, idk mate.

They're referring to a recent, different, actually decent story.

They'll make an announcement today tomorrow next week next month eventually, for sure.

Silly bunny. Of course the announcement will be Soon™

I'm sure the replies to this are a perfect case of "Those who don't know, Those who know."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qmu22uOsTw&t=755s[/video] 12:25 imo is among the best things ever, cause 100% fits our battle against Zovaal as Hope Vs Despair, the Champions Vs Zovaal, the Jailer!

Glad Blizz let the music guys go nuts with this music. It's not quite on the level of what FF14 puts out for its big bosses, but it's definitely way better than the subdued stuff we'd get in expansions past.

Ye so reaching as usuall

Does the 9.2 release date really counts as something to be super excited about?

I mean.. 9.2 is not that suoet excited in general anyway. Most people just want to move on.

I'm quite psyched about 9.2

I don't want a music with lyrics when I'm communicating with my guildmates during a fight

This week is being... Long. Hopefully we get some news tomorrow alongside the Hearthstone announcement. Maybe they show the mobile game too?

That's...uhhh...not much better of a description. What is it?

[Catastrophy349]

9.2 announcement tomorrow. 2/22/22 release date. 10.0 news after 9.2 goes live (probably mid/end March).

Hm, head to head with Destiny 2's new expansion, Witch Queen. WoW's new bitter rivalry. Microsoft vs. Sony!

I'm thinking March 1st actually.

Overwatch's creator experimental card was delayed from yesterday until tomorrow, they forgot to fix the date on the announcement. So maybe some crap came up internally?

Nintendo had a direct today. I think Blizz is trying to find the date where they could draw the most attention that day.

It's far from full.

Add Dark Rangers to it since it's been so heatedly debated on these forums. For the added effect have the Dark Ranger looming creepily over the tinker.


To add to the conversation, I'm wondering if the Jailer couldn't mass raise the dead all over Azeroth as a last ditch effort to screw us all over once he realizes he's losing. Then we return to an ever scourgier Azeroth, a true zombie apocalypse and have to amass forces from the newly homeless Northrend races and those already in the Horde but not represented (like San'layn/Undead elves, taunka, ogres/mok'nathal, vrykul, etc.) to join our depleted armies in addition to seeking aid from the dragonflights who we must aid. Galakrond is risen. Eventually we go to the Dragon Isles in search of a mcguffin to re-empower them in 10.1.

Could introduce Dark Rangers or necromancer as a class, but I believe that Dragonsworn would be more likely in this case.

I feel like a super zombie apocalypse bringing back a bunch of known characters as enemies could be really interesting if done right. Kinda reminds me of the original plan for WoD where Garrosh would simply resurrect all of the warlords without AU shenanigans

9.2 looks great, but am I right in thinking it's shaping up to be the least power we've gained over the course of an expansion between the first & final raid tiers?

Tighter iLvl jumps, no big socket gains over the course of the expansion, weaker borrowed power compared to the last two expansions, & losing (at least) one raid tier to all that's gone on all seem to be adding up to a patch where we don't look that much more powerful than we did in CN. Obviously we'll do more DPS, but compared to the 4-6x gains of Legion/BfA & even the 3x~ gains of WoD*, it's not looking like we'll get that feeling of absurd power this expansion.

(*Just looking at some Warrior logs over the course of each expansion for some quick comparison data. Some classes are likely a bit higher/lower, but I think the numbers are fair).

add ascending mr incredible and gobby kotick we also need bill gates face on some wow character

I know I'd love it if done right, but I am biased as I love the undead races and related classes in game.

Question; what does Taylor Swift have to do with it?

Just that there's a couple regular posters in the threads who talk about her each speculation/beta/etc. cycle.
