Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[TheFirstOnes]

How long until you change your forum name to Chromatus, including him as your avatar while always mentioning how much more powerful he is than any other character.

So far we've had Sargeras, Argus, and now currently a First One themed account with a preference of the Jailer.

Don't let us down.

Considering 10.0's supposed to be a smaller expansion...

No. Besides, I don't expect to see a force above the First Ones for a WHILE lol.

Especially when you consider these guys legit make the Cosmos, the Forces and the scales that balance them, every Concept (Platonic or otherwise), etc.

Who's gonna use the eye to bring her back? No one outside the horde knows what happened on Draenor.

No one has anything to gain. Outside of a wacked out Murozond.

Something something something, Alleria turns Sunwell into a giant Void Portal. Lothremar tells fuck Geyarah, asks Thalyssra to use the Eye to contact Yrel hoping the Army of the Light could fight the Void.

[Varx]

That means Kyrians can travel to alternate timelines? To pick up souls? Doesn't that mean Kyrians are stronger than Bronze Dragons? Oh no I've gone cross-eyed.

Well perhaps souls from AU timelines just naturally meld with the prime time line's soul without the aid of the kyrian.

When garrosh died in AU draenor. At that point it was connected to our Timeline. So easy access I guess, idk.

Details, lmao.

[Local Ardenweald Faerie]

Yeah, they'll just miss that date by five months.

Five months in REVERSE

PREPATCH IN MARCH BABYEEEEEEEEEEEEEE TIME TRAVEL EXPANSION

Sir this expansion is supposed to be about dragons.

Get ready for Shadowlands 2: When our Velen dies & goes to the shadowlands, where alt Velen already exists, Pelegos is going to die and also become evil.

Why use that when we got a dragon expansion on the horizon with a potential corrupted ex dragon aspect of time trying to find ways to stop a void invasion of Azeroth.

[Nymrohd]

TLDR; Blizzard is excited for the majestic adventures to come

Well Blizzard was also excited about us walking on water.

We already moved on 11.0

[Varx]

God I really hope Teriz is back before the 19th.

The reveal won't be the same without him. Like him or not.

Nah, that kind of thing happens all the time. They already told us what happens in such a situation. I don't agree with their solution and find it needlessly complicated, but still, that's not something that's an issue.

I'm getting the feeling people here are way to obsessed with Yrel, though.

[Ersula]

I kind of do want Murozond to come back, but I'm certain he doesn't exist right now. I think they dragons are going to find a way to restore their special magic dragon soul, but that makes Murozond exist again.

They did explain it, and their explanation didn't help. Multiple Timelines are different shards of your soul? So Garrosh is getting punished because just one (1) version of himself was evil???? Doesn't that mean we're all fucked because some iteration of us in the infinite timelines is a genocidal maniac?

SL and other similar realms exist outside of Time

this is explained with Draka where we have Draka who had Thrall mixed with Draka who didnt

[Makabreska]

Well, I expect event to go like this:
- CGI cinematic
- feature trailer
- feature explanation panel
- end

After this we will keep getting regular blog posts about xpac and it's development.

well Elune is now "oh dang maybe i should pay more attention to stuff thats happening" so now that we are down to only 1 aspect being active in the story and the other missing since MoP she might be "hey lets make a new set empowered by Azeroth herself" since she is needed in order to create aspects

[kiruz]

For whatever it's worth, new hearthstone expansion battlepass almost final level has Alexstrasza portrait as reward. They could put anything but for obvious reason did her

I don't think we'll get the feature panel; I think they'll save that one for another day.

[Makabreska]

This is a TERRIBLE idea to present features and not explain them. "Warfronts? Looks PvP" etc. Zero reason for them to not prep it. It's really not hard also, it's just a basic of xpac reveal.

[Ersula]

I don't think we'll get the feature panel; I think they'll save that one for another day.

I think that not only we'll get a features trailer, but they'll send out alpha invites as soon as the stream ends.

9.2 has been done for a while now, it's about time for a playable build. I know 9.2.5 is still in testing but the alpha of a new expansion usually goes live at the same time an expansion's final patch is still on the ptr.

The answer is that you are not supposed to think about it. Every time Blizzard tries to explain WoD and alternate timelines they make a hasty explanation that pokes more holes than it fills. Let us afterall not forget how Blizzard tried to explain the Legion in WoD by saying that it existed as one entity across all timelines when that would be patently absurd.

[Vakir]

Giving anything less than the amount of info you'd get from a day 1 overview from Blizzcon feels like a PR mistake.

Think of how hard people pivoted from "doomed" to "GOOD EXPANSION???" between the What's Next and Deep Dive panel for SL...whether it ended up being good or not, a lot of context was missing from just the first 45 minutes, and that was from a relatively small expansion.

We waited almost half a year longer than usual and the competition regularly puts out 4 hour long producer breakdowns. I get Blizzard is highly corporate, probably very image conscious right now for understandable reasons, and likely has lots of changing pains currently, but they can afford to not be so fucking lazy.

[Revamp Man]

This is something that stopping me about writing more. Back in the time before legion announcement noone believes me too.
I think that the information about race and class that will be closely related to each other (as well as dh + faction selection) is enough to stimulate the imagination for the next few days.

Yes, its close af - and yes, im (as a player) shocked too. Specially that BFA/SL feels like not so very polished products..

This information is available since yesterday, there aren't many details, but let's say few "key" ones. You can treat them however you like.
Anyway - on April 19, everyone will be able to preorder right after the presentation and expect the premiere in autumn 2022.

Also "feniela" have 100% right in what he wroted above and on previous 2-3 pages.

so if it hits in november where does season 4 come in at??
