Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[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.

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?

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...

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.

[Marlamin]

Hard to tell. 2 to 30. 1 new questline.

https://wow.tools/files/encrypted.php scroll down to Key 387 for everything related to that map.

[Ferlion12]

There was a leak, and I don't remember which one.

Basically said that the expansion and stuff leading up to the expansion for 10.0 was going to celebrate old stuff from WoW.

We now have Season 4 with mythics from 4 expansions.
Scourge and Blood Elf Plot lines including stuff from TBC with the Orphan.
Potentially Dark Iron stuff.

Anyone remember what the leak was? It didn't go into details other than they wanted the build up to the expansion to be a love letter to past content

I mean, we said the same for Sl...
Anyway I agree, lets not jump for the bait and wait a bit, there is really no reason to get hyped up at this point. I also rather wait and see how it turns out. I am not really about getting there first and dinging first, I just don't care about that anymore, I just want to have a fun game to play. If it's not, I just won't anymore after 17+ years.

Speaking of updates was this skybox always visible over Hillsbrad?

BTW, I guess we're never getting this are we?

[Dhomeli]

I don’t think so. I noticed Stormwind skybox looks new in 9.2 (live) as well.

[Chickat]

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

Eh, might be for heritage armor. Doesn't look HD at all.

*sobbing sounds* Why must you wound me so? That was one of the coolest ideas that they came up with, and now there's nothing... hell, they could've even done racial skins for them that you could collect through various activities or achievements!

What could that be about?

Could be a boring letter talking about Sl, but could it maybe be about Gilneas?

[Kiivar86]

So just realized, the Ghostlands/Tirisfal stuff and the Dark Irons thing both seem to reward (or likely will) a transmog and mount. And given those involved, probably faction split too.
