Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Sondrelk]

FUCK YEAH!! THEY'RE FINALLY ADDING HD BLOOD KNIGHT ARMOR. HOLY SHIT. That's almost enough to make me come back.

Wait what now? Where have you seen that?

[Super Dickmann]

Rebuilt Brill with giant Graveyard courtesy of our favorite green parrot:

They remembered that Brill got destroyed after wrecking it off-screen as part of the execrable BFA intro. Even kept the style.

Wait what now? Where have you seen that?

On the front page, there's two pieces shown so far, a "Blood Knight's Dedication Helm" and a "Blood Knight's Dedication Belt".

Green Hawkstrider

The green hawkstrider could be the mount for the deluxe edition of WOTLK classic.

That Jaina and Khadgar conversation is pretty nothing. That's a disappointment.

Dark Iron Armaments arsenal, yes!

So there's definitely something going on with the Dark Irons, I guess.

I doubt they'd use a basic Hawkstrider model for a deluxe edition bonus.

Season 4 "intention announcement" seems interesting... specifically adding new M+ dungeon selections into the current pool is always welcomed. For the WoD choices I've voted for Grimrail Depot (get mad haters) and Upper Blackrock Spire.


Adding a seasonal affix to all of the Shadowlands raids and making them all relevant again is an awesome idea... but I wonder how loot scaling will go. I assume LFR, Normal, Heroic, and Mythic item levels will scale the same across all of the raids?
"More power levels of raid loot dropping throughout all of them" ...so I can chase after my beloved Occular Gland again. Lit.


Also don't expect 10.0 to launch in the first 2 quarters of 2023. Late 2023/early 2024 is my guess now.

2024? How dense.

Looking at this poll I forgot how many good dungeons were in WoD because all anyone ever seemed to run was the damn train dungeon.

Gimme Auchindoun and Skyreach.

Shadowmoon -.-

Or they just decided to make the the Dark Iron weaponry, that never got used, accessible.

so we're finally getting heritage weapons?

I went Iron Docks & SMBG. Too many of the other dungeons have mechanics I feel will be pretty horrendous in M+, but each of those I think would fit well.

Super happy Iron Docks is doing so well!

[UndedoKoleda]

While I'm definitely not going to resub for season 4, I'd rather wait a year(and a half?) for an expansion like MoP or Legion, than wait only half an year and get another SL or WoD.

Tbh, I'm very optimistic about it, my expectations about 10.0 are higher than any expansion before.

[The Stormbringer]

Auchindoun was a cool as hell dungeon, I really hope that one is voted for Mythic+. Not that I'll be playing, mind you, but I'd love to see it get some attention.

[Kiivar86]

Or they finally decided to make the the Dark Iron weaponry, that never got used, accessible.

I'm basing it off of this and that "The Flame Woof" mount questline in BRD. Something's going on there. And among the new items in the patch are several Dark Iron related items (Darkforged Ingot, Boiling Flamecore, Flamepoint Engraver) and a Dark Iron NPC invovled (Anvil-Thane Thurgaden). Something's going on there.

so we're finally getting heritage weapons?

Seems so.

[Dioporco]

subs must be tanking a lot if they need to bring back BFA assets that werent never added for no legit reasons.



big w for us

[Chickat]

The chance always exists we're about to have our Kultiras_Cloth_Chest01.

We shall see. Hoping it means world revamp though.

[Alanar]

so we're finally getting heritage weapons?

They already said, we will slowely get them.

Nightborne already happened, more will come.

[Chickat]

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

How many is serveral? Enough to be an entirely new zone, or just a campaign quest with 5-10 quests?

[The Stormbringer]

big w for us

To be honest, they could go through every expansion and pull up assets that never got used and give them to us in some form and I'd be happy. There's tons of them out there in the files that were never touched, for one reason or another...

[Slowpoke is a Gamer]

The dragon isles in the past have been portrayed as off the coast of Quel'thalas, with all this stuff in 9.2.5 and two recent store mounts being sun/fire/quel'thalas themed and store mounts in the past being next expansion mobs I like 100% believe its involved in the next expansion somehow.

True, Quel'thalas and Lordaeron would be our launching off points for Dragon Isles probably.

[Chickat]

Besides the sleigh mount, which seems to be a test mount currently sold by Uncle Bigpocket in Kun-lai for 120,000 gold, there's also a "The Flame Woof" mount from Blackrock Depths quest I guess? The usual pvp seasonal gladiator mount.

And a green hawkstrider with the description:

In defense of the Ghostlands, even the elusive green hawkstriders came to the effort.

Its so random having all these things tied to different locationcs.
