Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[huth]

I mean, that's clearly wrong because



isn't even a thing since what, MoP? All AHs are connected. Every single AH is cross faction (and they all access the same AH anyway)

It's kinda embarassing when they get stuff wrong that has been that way for nearly a decade. Shows the person has no idea what they're talking about.

- level 70
- Dragon Isles are just a shrine with a portal to the Lost Realms. A part of pre-sundered Azeroth frozen in time where the dragons have flourished
- Murozond and Azshara. Everyone wants a vial of eternity
- Naga are new race. Can transform back to highborne at will
- New Cities : Lordaeron and Nordrassil
- New undead and NE customizations based on story
- Sylvanas apologies to Forsaken. Asks Bolvar and Calia to lead and guide them where she couldn’t
- Night Elves allowed to return to Azeroth as wisps where they help re-grow the forests
- Profession overhaul
- Cross-faction guilds
- Can choose a dragonflight and empower some of your abilities. Can switch as much as you like but need a new farmable currency

This is real

Maybe its a poorly worded "you can't go into the other factions cities for their auction house npcs" or something. I mean i don't even remember if the longboys work cross faction.

what's the diff on this map?

Galak skeleton is gone.

[Makorus]

Galak skeleton is gone.

The path not being there is even more interesting, imo.

Hopefully going to be a CoT dungeon.

[Raetary]

Galak skeleton is gone.

I mean, so is every visible road texture, Wyrmrest, the titan highway, every tree and other skeleton and both the red and bronze dragonshrine.

[Khaza-R]

Now that I think about it, wasn't that map found back in BfA?

8.2 I believe, yes

WoW: Snows of Northrend - The Great Shoveling confirmed.

That's the thing though, she isn't exactly the same Sylvanas as the one who committed those atrocities. Her soul is full now, former ranger general... and Teldrassil butcher. If the absolute psychopath that she was in previous expansions deserves no compassion from us... I feel for her former self, now merged with the monster that she has become. Even if that part of herself is only a fragment of her whole self... I think this part of her deserved closure. And now I'm gonna stop saying self, cause I said that a lot haha!

Yeah, I'm not a fan of her coming back with us, but I'm glad they arent killing her. Maybe in a few expansions, or in Warcraft 4 she can come back semi redeemed. I guess she would be kinda like Illidan. An antihero.

Another 4chan leak talking about a battlepass. Something occurs enough theres either some truth to it or peoples expectations are just that low.

I mean "WoW Battlepass" is the inevitable endpoint of Seasonal WoW. No surprise a lot of leaks have them taking that leap.

"Galakrond's fall" map was updated

Idk if I’m missing something but
Using that same link it also shows that the skeleton was gone in 8.2 - 9.1

In fact it looks like the map is unchanged from 8.2

I'd say there are a few things I'm not sure of – namely, it's very barren of features – but I am impressed with the realism in the formatting. They didn't get carried away and did it pretty adequately. The name sounds weird, but I also thought "Shadowlands" or "Battle for Azeroth" were weird names, too, and that didn't matter.

That's not the point. They've done something to the map, even in the backend, else it wouldn't get identified as updated. The fact that it's continuously being worked on somehow since 8.2 is kind of suspicious.

I don't think it's that one because Blizz wouldn't do a blunder like Covenants again.

[Vakir]

Guy mentions codename Paradox and elaborates no details.

LARPer shows up a day later with info on Codename Paradox.

Also, Eminence is a terrible name.

That could also be a red herring! Placed here to mislead us intentionally...

Any change will do that, though. That doesn't mean anybody is actually working on it. It might just get bumped around because somebody put it on some asset list and now it keeps getting updated even though nobody is actually doing anything with it.

The Blood Elves were good prior to the end of TBC and their arc 'makes sense' on the most basic level. An ancient race who's traditions have worked for them for thousands of years reverting to their standard way of life the second the crisis that defined them is ended makes more sense than them still running a police state and using every kind of unethical magic out there to support their addiction. But without these elements they're just generic fantasy in elves that consume an inordinate amount of screentime.

Fair enough. I do think that the Paladin elements do separate them somewhat from the standard Elf mold, though—that, and their totalitarian tendencies are still there, I think, just moderated. It would be more interesting if they went full-on totalitarian, though, and become a Light-based benevolent dictatorship. Blood Elves in general do have the most opportunity for a distinct personality from standard fantasy Elves, I think, even to this very day. There are still interesting things to do with their plot.

I am slowly becoming convinced that some of you (and definitely one of you in particular) are actual Blizzard employees or some form of contractors with true knowledge of upcoming patch information and the next expansion.


Some true out-of-touch "hello, fellow kids!" vibes going on.

Wowie! We're all Blizzard shills, guys! Cool.
