Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Sondrelk]

Me ever since they started to restrict flying in WoD.

I just wish we could get rid of flying for good for once.
Especially ble that we have loads of interesting abilities from Pocopoc. It makes me quite depressed to think that all the cool grappling hooks and fun abilities will soon be made obsolete by flying within a couple of weeks.

Hope we get 10.0 news soon, zm is so frustrating with its annoying chests and rares.

No it's not, it's the best zone since Tanaan.

So it's basically Timeless Isle?

[Pheraz]

Stil not a fan of SL but ZM is very cool so far. Visually reminds me very much of the anime "Castle in the Sky"

[shise]

All those insects roaming Azeroth underground... quietly building kingdoms. The Old Gods were keeping them a bit under control, but it would not surprise me if they starting getting out on the loose.

I expect them to be there when 10.0 comes out.

They seem to be utterly forgotten to the point that their very architecture has been supplanted by that of Maldraxxus.

[Harbour]

Visually Zereth reminds me of Anthem and Destiny 2 locations, design wise its the best one endgame patch zone since Timeless Isles. Did everything i could to get flying already, only timegated story chapters have left. After that it would be just a zone to not be bothered with outside alts easy gearing up without even much grind.

Sometimes I read the comments and think people just wanna play Stardew Valley mmo.

[Kiria]

I'm pretty sure a casual player wouldn't have had 5 hours to play all the quests.

You are correct I logged in to check it out I work 12 hour shifts jad 30 mins to spare and did 1 chain of the covenant quest before logging off, theres still plenty for me to do when I next log on.

[huth]

This is a massive misconception of what a "casual" player actually is. Most casual players have plenty more than 5 hours to play the game - their issue lies in not being able to access the game due to real life most days. Once "casuals" get some time off from real life, most of them tend to get as many hours into the game as possible, definitely usually more than 5.

Er, no. Most "casuals" don't have a lot of consecutive free time, not necessarily a lack of total time.

Not if the sweaty raiders have a say about it.

[draugril]

Er, no. Most "casuals" don't have a lot of consecutive free time, not necessarily a lack of total time.

I think the key distinction is that casuals lack guaranteed free time. I refuse to schedule myself for raiding or Mythics if I cannot guarantee that time to those I'd be playing with. It's not fair to them. And once the family started to grow, my priorities shifted, and I could no longer guarantee that time. I'm never going to be the guy on Ventrilo shouting at his wife to get their child to shut up because daddy needs to slay a virtual dragon. Nor am I going to be the guy that disappears a few minutes into every instance I enter. As such... I became a "casual." Even if I have loads of free time, I cannot guarantee it to those I'm playing with.

[Grimbold21]

Interesting. I didn't know you lost your characters' names when you were inactive for a long time. Can't even check at which ilvl I left my main(s)

Just checked that by the end of next month, it'll be a year since I last played WoW.

Might mean someone petitioned to take your name and due to inactivity blizz freed it up.

Well I checked wowprogress and it's still there.

[Makorus]

Armory (and to that extent WoWprogress) only updates once you logout.

Well, think about it. Say you have 8 hours of sleep and 8 hours of work. Of the remaining 8 hours, how many will you need for travel, taking care of necessities, family and so on, and how many are actually free? Chances are, at this point you're already down to 5 hours or less. How likely is that time to be consecutive? And that's the time you can't even guarantee.

Warlock master r̶a̶c̶e̶ class! Or just go Venthyr :v

[Valysar]

Venthyr Demon Hunter here, very easy

Frankly, i found most of them rather easy to reach if you spend a moment surveying the area instead of bruteforcing it.
