Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

Almost there. Just 7 days to go!

[Deventh]

They are saying it's a dragon related class...

I highly doubt it.

You should only count workdays.

Has the prep started yet? I assume its not big since its not an in person event

what if someone works on the weekends?

Edit: Also, never say things are 100% accurate or 100% fake/not happening. Enough people have been proven wrong in saying such things in the past.

That's true. When Warlords of Draenor was leaked on the forums, almost everyone in that thread was forced to eat crow because of how fake it sounded. I still go back there to read the replies sometimes, it's great entertainment.

@ercarp right here, this is why I'm skeptical since a race/class is kind of expected.

If that release date is correct, then that would mean getting our hands on Alpha/Beta a lot sooner as well (maybe as soon as 2-4 weeks after the announcement). It sounds... almost too good to be true. It would also be the shortest amount of time from announcement to expansion release, I think, ever? I could be wrong there though.

And I have Hogwarts Legacy to look forward to in Q4 2022 so I don't really even want the expansion to come out that soon.

If someone works seven days in a row, I feel bad for them.

And there's probably very little prep since they chose to do this thing around Easter; I'd expect it was all pre-recorded.

You are the one making statements, you should verify your own sources... not other people.

Nah, this isn't part of my job nor did I ever say anything they said was right or wrong, just to take the information as you will and that they've done this thing before (and it ended up being accurate -that- time). I'm not going to be posting exact quotes or linking to posts as doing that would imply legitimacy or the opposite and I'm not going to be doing that.

A lot of lore issues people have come from either a rose-tinted view of the past or a basic misunderstanding of the story

God, I hate this pretentious as fuck argument wherever it comes up. "You didn't like the story? Well obviously you are not smart enough". It surely can't be subjective opinion or some shit. People are flat-out wrong. Yep.

When even Taliesin, the largest WoW shill on youtube says that the Jailer was so bad, undeveloped and uninteresting as a villain that it ruined the story, it is getting harder and harder to argue that SL is some underappreciated masterpiece.

[Deventh]

Ahh Blademaster. A blind swordsman so common with DH and weebie cause Samurai so common with Pandas. Did I solve it or did i solve it?

Imagine getting yet ANOTHER melee class when we have only 1 archer archetype and still no new casters since forever.

Found this post where he confirmed accurate details about Legion on the day of its announcement at Gamescom.

EDIT: In fact, there seem to be several posts where he confirms Demon Hunters as a class and Illidan coming back, but I don't find anything for BfA or SL so it seems like he just got his hands on some info about Legion, but not necessarily for anything else that came afterward (including 10.0). Good to remain skeptical.

Could be possible he worked at Gamescom and saw something during the stage work there.

He said he will delete his account if he is wrong tho lol.

Is the armor change discussion finally over? Can I come out now?

New fake rumor: WoW is going THAC0!

If we include Guardian spawning off Feral we have had 6 specs added and arguably all are melee. Guardian is a borderline example. No ranged physical and mistwalker is the only healer. Ideally we would have bow using healers as a new class. Probably why bards are still discussed.

MMO-C accounts have no real value outside of a sentimental one and with people quitting the game/communities that value of putting something like that on the line is very low.

In fairness we could also see this as a situation where the announcement is potentially being made waaay later in development than usual. If the past two years didn't happen the way they did we possibly would've gotten the announcement last November, then it would've been a typical long wait between announcement and release.

[Tiradon]

Got kinda lost in the last few days, anything ever since the 'art' leaked from that print shop?

I would rather talk about that than have grown-ass men whine about how they need to go to deviantart if they want to see some dragon midriffs.

True, if you quite this account you can just make another. I made this account cause I can't recover Balager for some ungodly reason. Well, at least I'm not making a secret about it.

Could be worse; could be the even-older days where it was sometimes easier to hit you the better your AC.

But how later is way later? November is 7 months away. That is exactly the beta length for WoD and SL. Legion had a 9-month long beta test. Even if the entire alpha test was done internally and already finished and beta tests start immediately after the announcement finishes, November is still highly unlikely.

Nothing tangible. Hell, we haven't had a fake leak since the 4chan cinematics leak.

[Nyel]

It's a pretty easy thing to guess for 10.0 tbh, the only thing that intrigues me is the 2022 release date prediction.

Because it won't be in 2022 at all?
