Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

Anyone else thinking we may get the 8th chapter (Epilogue) on the 29th of March? Same day as Sylvanas novel and 1 week after Chapter 7 (this week)?

His post was about the possibility of a Lorderon revamp though.

You're for sure the poster who consistently misses the point in this thread the most.

"About the possibility of a Lordaeron revamp"

The reason Snorlax suggested that it was because Varodoc was talking about Void Elves was because even though the nominal topic was on the matter of Lordaeron, the actual post was riddled with mentions of them from a single-topic user. It takes very little to infer his actual intention in posting this.

The Definitely, Unequivocally Totally A Blizzard Employee's confirmed a release date, guys!

If Towelliee knows anything, he's failed to provide evidence of it.

I believe that's what Vasoka was trying to suggest with the "produce from his backside" comment.

I really don't understand where this "theory" of me working for Blizzard has come from. I can say, with certainty, that this is false. Also, you didn't answer my question!

That's 100% what a totally real Blizzard employee would say.

Jokes aside, that's a good guess. I'll mark it down as plausible.

Regardless of his ALLEGED intent; it is still a worthwhile talking point. Mainly the points regarding Turalyon and the Scarlets.

The rest of that everybody's been talking about. Why would he feel the need to ask why nobody's talking about something that everybody's talking about if not for the only rogue element he introduces being absent from everyone else's speculation?

That is what a blizz employee would say!!! /s
But honestly I would like to know as well how it started

Everyone is entitled to think what they will. However, wouldn't it be awesome if just when everyone thinks that this week's 7th chapter is the end for 9.2, the following week released the "removed" 8th chapter titled "Epilogue"? Especially, coincidentally mind you, on the same day as the Sylvanas novel?!

Additionally, this would be a great way to set up 9.2.5 PTR AND the pending new expansion announcement on the 19th of April.

This is a good guess, yes, or leak, given we know you're secretly a Blizzard employee in disguise 100% no question

[Catastrophy349]

At the end of the day, I'm just like all of you: Curious about what is coming next for World of Warcraft's 9th expansion!

I just really love Azeroth and want to know where our adventures in Azeroth will go next!

Are you suggesting the last remnant of good characterization the Blood Elves have is their affiliation, and that taking that away would just make them generic High Elves, as well as make no sense after the numerous, numerous transgressions the Alliance committed against them? Are you implying they shouldn't entirely butcher the lore for the sake of aesthetic cohesion?

Never mind lore. Aren't Blood Elves about a third of Horde characters? Unless factions are dissolving completely, faction changing that many players during prepatch would break so many guilds and leave the accounts of people not currently playing in a state of complete fuck.

How willing are people to invest in a game where you're supposed to work together with a team of players over a long period of time but the developer can pick you up and plop you on the other faction overnight. Blizzard server swapping players for technical or whatever other reasons would have the same effect.

Elves are my favorite race. Blood Elves, Night Elves, Nightborne, Void Elves, Highborne, meet me around the corner for some extra fun Elves!

At the end of the day, huh? I guess it's because you work for Blizzard during the day. Ladies and gentlemen, we got him. /s

That doesn't particularly strike me as a very recent matter. In fact, i'm having a hard time thinking of a time when that wasn't the case.

I apologize, what I meant is that at least pre WoD, zones tended to at least have multiple threats. Uldum for example had Tolvir, Schnottz, and titan tech and Bandits.
Twilight Highlands had the Hammer, Dragons, Dragonmaw Orcs and Wildhammer Dwarves. Etc. The Drustvar example was poor. It makes sense in that the Drust is the only threat.

I'm starting to think maybe saying he's a Blizzard employee is going to his head. He's doing the cryptic-talk now.

I was trying to make a Forrest Gump joke reference using Elves instead of shrimp.

I've never watched Forrest Gump. My ignorance states that this needs to feed the conspiracy.

I think that's more confirmation bias than an actual change. Zones do still have multiple threats, some bigger, some smaller. Uldum was an extreme case with two divergent main storylines. But the story structure in Shadowlands also naturally lends itself to focussing on one main threat for each zone, so that is hardly unexpected. They still had secondary issues or storylines.

I really hope the 10.0 cinematic is the best one yet. I’ve honestly really enjoyed every cinematic for each new expansion but the last few have been dynamite.
