Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Wangming]

What's the source for this?

His arse I'm guessing.

[Nymrohd]

Imagine if we get a prerecorded preview of the reveal event a few days before and they leave expansion logos in the background, like with WoD.

Now imagine if the logo is not the leaked one.

Now imagine if the TITLE is not the leaked one.

(This would work well with the meme template of that guys having an orgasm or something)

Eh, it would mean Dragonflight is the mobile game
With three versions. So not f2p.

people who spend all their time on forums by definition are going to be people who aren't playing the video game

Wow forums in particular are overrun with people who haven't played the game in years but are still obsessed with it. Hell, that's most of the fanbase of most of WoW's big streamers (Asmongold)

The reception is pretty negative everywhere though. Even on the WoW forums (which require an active sub)

I mean on lore issues the reception is even negative in the community council forums were people actually make the effort to post constructively. And the main complaint is as seen here as well not on the substance of the lore (which is bad but can be wrapped up and forgotten) but on how poorly everything is being delivered (which is far more alarming because it means that even if they get better ideas they have no idea how to communicate them).

This is about 85% of my own issues with shadowlands (and honestly everything after 8.0). Not a fan of the lore direction, how much worse it got, and the absolutely terrible execution and delivery.

I guess it could be someone saying they have gotten the 10.0 reveal press package already.
Seems like a stretch though, I doubt there are many journalists who would jeopardize their career like that.

Yeah. Unless the press kit leaks like for 9.1

[Nymrohd]

It's really not that hard for it to happen. Especially if it's physical material.

yes, but there's not too many details ;f

Like how the artwork leaked now?

[therumblings]

Well we're in the final week now, so I'm expecting some more leaks to pop up, probably a ton of fakes as well.

[Nymrohd]

Was meaning to say. We already had some promo art leaked. More could leak down the line. The real question is if there is anything worth leaking, like a plot outline box in a larger poster.

Bro, the forums have been a shitshow since Vanilla. Back when they got a CM so mad that he basically killed his own career because of what a negative, toxic dumpsterfire the forums are

And heck, we can find WoW is dead posts from TBC

like, what makes the doomsaying today more enlightened than it was 15 years ago?

[Santandame]

The in depth look at the alleged leaked picture and the logo's in it seemed a bit distasteful to me. Just didn't sit right, surprised the mods were allowing it to happen.

Regardless, at this point, I'd prefer we didn't have any leaks. It's only a week away, let's just enjoy the (hoped) surprise during the announcement now.

Could be any number of things in a press kit. Images of the collectors edition rewards, pictures of zones, what we do in every zone, new power systems, gear sets, box cover villains.
Hell, it could include a detailed list of announcements all the way up to a potential 10.0 release date. You never know what is in a press kit.

The mods have always allowed real leaks to be posted

I'm an accountant, I very much don't know what is in a press kit. Unless someone asked me to cost one and I don't remember it

The issue was not with the leak, was that posters were analyzing the picture to a dangerous level. While I doubt there was any intent to DOX, once people noted that it was problematic it should have stopped immediately.

That picture didn't have enough information for any sort of doxxing what are you on about? It had a monitor, a cup of coffee and the poster.

Oh, I misunderstood. Yeah I can understand that.
