Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Grimbold21]

They updated a bit of the area next to Stocks.

Are those new textures on the houses?

[Super Dickmann]

Yep! The map is encrypted and there's several quests for it, very similar to 7.3.5 (Silithus) and 8.2.5 (Durotar)!

The day of Calia has come. I'm thinking whiskey for this one.

[Kiivar86]

May be just a tooltip error or something but it kinda looks like they're making mage teleports/portals instant cast?

As a mage main, I can't complain (hey that rhymes).

[Raetary]

Are those new textures on the houses?

No, just the stable fence and its decor is new.

[therumblings]

This substantially increased my hype and hope for a world revamp

Now that you mention it, they look distinctly more HD than before. Standing right next to this spot on Live right now.

The big difference is the fenced area though.

Edit: No wait, might just have been me using a lower graphic setting. Probably nothing.

[Khaza-R]

So BRD megadungeon incoming?

[Slowpoke is a Gamer]

That decor looks so modern and out of place.... at least an HD texture revamp for the whole game, right? RIGHT!?

[Chickat]

The Blingtron stuff is entirely predicated on a joke delivered via a bunch of grey trash items that drop from a joke engineering item. Basing anything major around it seems .. not very likely.

Sure, but i could see it being a sidequest chain in a mech themed zone.

MrGM reports that there's also Ghostlands stuff in the patch.

Feel like this has to be related to a Forsaken heritage armor quest. The idea that this is even more needless Sylvanas fanwank is too much to bear.

Tracks with that green hawkstrider mount tooltip.

Honestly, yeah. Stormwind looks worse with all of these little HD areas. It's so awkward.

I gave up on the idea of a world revamp a long time ago, but they could at least update the capital cities

My bet is on that project Paradox anyway:

Eh, that seems kinda lame. I like the revamp part, but something similar to Shards of Dom? No thanks.

I mean I'll be honest with all this random stuff laying around I don't even think it's heritage armor stuff.

I think we're starting to see the groundwork of 10.0.

[Dracullus]

We will have new story after all, back on Azeroth.

[AngerFork]

Same. While I'm still thinking 11.0, it's hard for me to look at that new Green Hawkstrider alongside the Tirisfal Glades map & not think that there's absolutely something to that specific region being redone.

Might not be a full revamp, but it's looking more and more like that's the direction with the way this patch is going.

Speaking of jarring clash of texture quality.
Lord, that looks bad.

It is datamined map so lighting and shaders don't work properly on it.

In game it will look better.
