Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

Doubtful. Spoilers below:
Datamined broadcast text makes it look more likely that Tyrande let’s her off the hook and she goes to the Maw to find Nathanos.
No, really.

Wait isn't that exactly what one of the leaks from like 2 months ago said?

Nah, backwards. People put it in all their bullshit leaks after it was found out to seem more legit.

I do wonder what the best place for "player housing" would be. TBH I think starter zones would be the best locations cause it would then rely on those core base aesthetics of Warcraft's playable races.

I do feel it would be pretty much instanced like the Garrison was, but perhaps it would be interesting if the outside area was made into a hangout spot, like the Halfhill Market.

Considering the constant mess that FF14 is in for having non-instanced housing, I will 100% guarantee if WoW did housing it'd be Garrison-style instancing.

Me gonna ook you in the dooker!

That must be a hilarious mess.

Yes riko is good dooka.

Way I see it I need them to hit 2 of 3 things:

1. EK/Kalimdor revamp

2. More & Diversified class mechanics. So every class doesn't feel like "do you want a rage bar or combo points as the vehicle for applying your burst window?"

3. Valor/Justice vendors returning as the mechanic for catch-up gear, bad luck protection, and non-raider gearing.

I second this post. But add tinkers for me as a best case scenario, and literally any other class otherwise.

So... next week "IS THE WEEK", right? Riiiight....?
Btw i think that this delayed announcement(Based on original Blizcon date) probably means that 10.0 will come in 2023, what does everyone thinks?

[Luck4]

The announcement will happen on March, 24th 2022.

[MyWholeLifeIsThunder]

The announcement will happen on March, 24th 2022.

Saving this one.

[Fahrad Wagner]

The announcement will happen on March, 24th 2022.

Sounds pretty likely. End raid cinematic next week, announcement of reveal on March 10th with a two weeks notice, takes us straight to March 24th.

[Black Rider]

The announcement will happen on March, 24th 2022.

And you came to this conclusion how exactly?

Anyone see Mark Kelada's Twitter post? I'm too new to post the link so find it yourself.

Might mean nothing, but interesting choice of words. 'Living world' indeed.

Which post do you mean? I went through his timeline and couldn't find anything with living world in it.

I think he means this one, but I didn't get the same "living world" vibe from it:

I completely agree, but that was the closest thing I could find in there.

What is this new leak I saw? Or is it an older one thats being talked about again?

Which one Chickadee?

This one.

It's important to remember that everyone got very excited once the panels explained the new customizations and other QOL changes too.

People turn around pretty quick with the right distraction. But it would be nice to get a sizzle reel on the same level as Legion, Cata, or Wrath. People forget just how all time high the hype was for the sheer flood of features Cata had even if it didn't turn out how many wanted.

My personal guess to the accuracy of one of the "leaks" has me feeling like this one will be fairly modest, though, if I'm right. I don't want it, but I 100% back EoD and its two cosigners. It screams safe Blizzard.

But SL proves they can work on their presentation a bit more. They undersold a lot of what was there in terms of features and the Jailer's silhouette unintentionally invoking Arthas or Terenas and the general vagueness of the narration didn't help.

So EoD i guess?
