Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[KayRule]

The Dark Below was a Destiny expansion, nothing to do with Blizzard (just Activision-Blizzard).

Destiny devs said they used the name because Acti-Blizz already had it. The trademark was put in 2 years before Destiny even came out, let alone the expansion.

Oh? I thought it was theirs to begin with.

Interesting. I stand corrected.

The "Blizzard Employee" gag gaslit him one too many times and now he legitimately believes he's a Blizzard employee. The men in white coats are coming to pick him up this morning.

I wonder if I can negotiate a treatment with those nurses, for Stimpy's friend Ren that is.

Ah, I never knew about that! Rather neat in the end

It is because of in-game scale, Lordaeron should be much much much bigger.

I wonder if Blizzard would ever revamp continents to be bigger in scale (obvious still not to lore-scale), but it would be interesting if instead of just updating the zones like Arathi and Darkshore they just completely rebuild it from the ground up. I highly doubt it though, since that would require much more work.

I surely hope they would, and that's why I have moved from a "revamp all at once" approach to a "revamp progressively" one. This would allow for bigger scale, which I think is one of the best things about recent expansions.

Also on another topic: I have added all previous hype threads I could find to my signature and... Damn. I've been commenting on hype threads for 8 years. Time flies guys, time flies...

[Khaza-R]

Have any more hidden dialogues been found?

I know with 9.1 they were still finding some new ones a few days after release.

I think we found everything this time! All NPCs who were there had dialogues, if I am not mistaken ? Or was Calia also present during the Judgement?

Thanks dear!

As a little madeleine de Proust guys... This is the first image of a hype train ever created on these forums (if I am not mistaken) for 2014's

Enjoy the nostalgia while it kicks in. We've come a long way in terms of hype trains though!

Calia, Darion, Taelia and Thalyrssa are all present in front of the Arbiter but then disappear for her actual sentence. I wonder if there's any particular reason for that or maybe they just didn't care enough to see what happens to Sylvanas.

I would of at least liked a line from Thalyrssa or some dialogue between her the Night Elves over Teldrassil.

I mean, Ion WAS an armchair developer before becoming an actual dev. So he kind of did take control of Azeroth.

Not in my eyes. The more control he gets, the shittier the game becomes.

They could do that now and it would be awesome. Turn Tirisfal and Gilneas into 3 zones each and I'm happy.

So it can still happen?

Honestly if 10.0 ends up being titled The Dark Below, I will resub. Feel free to screenshot this and hold me to my word.

They used it already for a Destiny game so no, it's not happening as the TM is already in use?

Honestly I would like to see this alongside with the reduction of zone number (merging zones into bigger areas in EK and Kali).

Another wish I have is to create a unified Azeroth. Bring everything to the same map. Revamp cata (or MoP) and earlier stuff and do some continents on release and then other in patches. Not just having Maelstrom, EK, Kali, Northrend, Pandaria, Broken Isles, KulTiras and Zandalar on the same map, but also all the instanced off islands (like from the island expeditions) and other stuff like that.

I like how Pelagos is the new arbiter,, decide to not send any other souls in the Maw.



and during the cinematic the souls behind him are still going in to the maw.

[Shadochi]

But under who is the trademark? ABK or Bungie?

I don't think The Dark Below is specific enough for that to make sense. Like sure if somebody releases another Mists of Pandaria or Warlords of Draenor, sue their balls off. But I doubt it would make sense to trademark every title without the World of Warcraft part otherwise nobody ever anywhere could use Legion or Cataclysm as their title even though those are super vague and in no way specific to WoW.

Cant check ingame now to confirm, but dont the anima streams in the skybox all start from below oribos? Like the thingy in middle is just to view all souls that pass into SL before they go off to their own realm.

Also from what other people said the stream in the middle seems to move slower.

Plus 1 for unified Azeroth. It makes no sense that you need to enter a freakin portal to reach Quel'Thalas just because it was added in TBC.

Souls going slower into the Maw, nice

And one of the major points for me for WoW has been how throughout a continent the zones don't have a loading screen compared to other MMOs i tried. I would like to see that go a step further.

But if needed and disc size isnt an issue keep the old instanced off zones through portals or chromie
