Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

That’s also probably why. These are probably easy to implement and don’t take much time from 10.0 development.

But why no Velf weapons?

Because its not done yet and there are more builds to come

[Raetary]

Strange that they decided to make heritage weapons before every race got armor. Especially since it's perfect time for Undead/Nelf Heritage from story perspective.

The weapons aren't new, the have been in the game files for ages.
They just now decided to make them available.

[Fiercelord]

There are only 3 Velf weapons. I hope they're saving them for a reason.

[Nymrohd]

I just read a lot of people saying the MS reduction was a bug itself before the 11% bug.

I know but it's just people who think everything is a bug to invalidate the guilds running the race.

[Elflover99]

Its puzzling that the Belf quest is being added now if there will be a revamp, but maybe the idea is that both quests take place in the past when you unlock them in 10.0?

It does set up a new status quo for the area.

[ercarp]

I honestly don't get that request tbh. Darkshore Warfront gave four exceptional sets of armor to those races that are probably better than any heritage armor they'll ever get.

Hmm, I gotta disagree on that point. Imo all they have to do is add this as the heritage armor and it would be perfect:

Why is it puzzling? The quests dont actually add new assets to the zone or change it. So even if there was a revamp them having a quest isn't an issue or waste of resources. What you're saying is that from the moment they decided on a world revamp (if they decided) they shouldn't touch the current world any more?

My point is: how would you access the quest if they add a new EK? Wouldnt it be convoluted for a player to have to go back to a new phase just to unlock heritage?

Locking these quests to specific periods of time make things funky.

Its a leadup/bridge quest until 10.0

[Ferlion]

That’s true. Still wish there was a little more to chew on. The Dark Iron stuff is cool but not very interesting, the Belf stuff is interesting but the rewards are meh IMO.

The most curious part to me is the still complete lack of kalimdor besides the “stables” that are being built in both capitals. Like is Tirisfal ends up being the Darkfallen quests with Nelves we’re still virtually ignoring an entire continent.

It depends on how they want to handle it. It's always possible that if they do a revamp, they do it continent by continent. Start in EK, and then during patches unlock more and more of the world. But I honestly doubt they would do that.

[Padwarle]

That "new" area in Org got some updates if you consider that juicy. Just more doodads and such.

My point is this: it’s 10.0. New EK with new Quelthalas you dont have to zone into.

Blood Elf gets exalted and max level... and then teleports to TBC-era QT to get his heritage armor?? It doesn’t add up and just makes me worried that this revamp will never happen..

Or the old would be completely removed like classic zones were in Cata? And just have the heritages unlock in a different way?

[Padwarle]

Has Tirisfal always not lit up when you mouse over it on the EK map?

[Elflover99]

It’s possible, but it feels like a waste to remove the quests. But it would be cool if you could just talk to your faction leader and unlock the goodies.

[Benedict Donald]

That's basically what Im hoping for. I personally dont want any new classes cause they have most everything covered but I do think there is plenty of room to add 4th specs for every class and Druids can just get a ton of customization options or maybe a Druid specific quest line/heritage armor to make up for it.

I'd be down for that for sure!

[Elflover99]

I have a super optimistic and a super pessimistic idea for the stable areas.

Good: It’s going to be some kind of quest turn in for “rebuilding” the city ala XIV. Doesn’t explain the stable theme though.

Bad: A place where Blizzard will show off the newest cash shop mount.

If there’s ever a revamp there will be zidormii phasing for the zones

Oh it’s totally possible, it’s just going to be super confusing for players. Like going back in time to unlock your super special armor may not feel the best.

Guess a lot of people want the stripper gear from the original cinematic.

On one hand it's horrible, on the other hand would be cool if you could take it for a test ride?
