Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

4 days to go!

[ercarp]

Finished my Bingo Card / 10.0 predictions today

-- snip --

Place your bets!

I think I'll wait until the 18th or 19th before I make mine as more stuff might come up between now and then.

[delphiskye]

just thinking on who hasnt been seen since end of legion Velen, any of the wardens Arator, Ebonhorn, leader of the bronze flights been missing since cata, can anyone else think on who else is "missing"?

NGL.

My most requested feature isn't housing, a new class, or allied races.

It's a new bloody UI for the character selection (login) screen.

I'm borderline OCD probably and have an army of 50 characters I spend way, way too much time organising in different ways. Only problem is, all we get is a long and boring list. I basically change my preference every other week and have to rearrange it, and I can never decide which my mains and my main alts are.

What I'd like is a new UI based on the character creation UI they updated in Shadowlands.

Preferably a number of clean looking icons/portraits, and not a bunch of text strings for class, location, etc.

Then I'd like a number of filters, both premade and customisable ones. I want to be able to filter my roster based on things like faction, race, class, professions, and so on. But also things that matter to me, like which characters I designate as my "main crafters" of the various professions, "main alts", "main bankers" for different purposes, and so on.'

Then obviously custom character poses so my army can look COOL. Right now every character looks like a dork.

And here I am just wanting pages with 10-12 characters on each lol. Someone else suggested tiles you can arrange and then click on to view the characters.

Either of those combined with filters would be absolutely amazing.

I also second character poses.

Or steal Tera's screen, where all your characters are walking together on the screen until you select one and the camera zooms into them.

Just got an email about the upcoming announcement:

Drop into the World of Warcraft® Livestream Event on 19 April at 9am PT to sit down with the WoW development team and learn about the upcoming expansion. We’re excited to show you what we’ve been working on and where your adventures in Azeroth will go next!

I think most people were expecting it anyway but this definitely confirms that it will have some panels where they go into the expansion in more depth.

T&E also confirmed that they will follow up the announcement in the coming days with interviews and co, so it seems like we are getting the classic blizzcon treadment indeed =)

[Dioporco]

I would love to sit down with the dev team, so i can insult them, i mean telling them where they did wrong

Tbf they already know that they did wrong and they already improved with 9.1.5. It seems like they had a big gathering with everyone and cleaned house and now have the freedom to do whats fun instead of having to follow what people like Afrasiabi wanted. So why would you want to insult them, that's just .... childish?

Oh nice the usual bandwagon of YESMAN content creators that will nod everything they say and asking 0 important question or valid criticism.

I would rather take any "yesman" content creators who are positive and love the game and point out valid problems over any toxic assholes who tell others to spit on peoples who have storemounts, but each to their own I guess.

Also I sense some kind of .... aggression in your posts. What's wrong buddy? Someone spilled your tea in the morning?

I am 1000000% cool with the second one if its just longer, and not only 10 minutes

Hunters look weird because their pets are just tiny little creatures standing beside them, so if you spin your character the weapon can actually show behind the pet in the distance. And it bugs the hell out of me that some classes have custom sizes, and that most of them have different backgrounds.

Honestly what I'd like is for them to let us MOD the character selection screen.

"positive toxicity" is way worse than usual "toxicity" because the most of the bad things happened in the game are the result of nodding at everything.


if people had they feeling ruined because somebody used /spit on them, they need to stop play videogames and get checked.

[Das Thora]

If we all knew that a leak was true but didn't know for sure which one, which would you bet was the real one?

[Marlamin]

They just posted about an announcement watch party happening on "Meltdown" bars around the world.

On the page they casually mentioned a 10.0 Collector's Edition as a prize. Just a nice little factoid I guess.

Yup, this has been on the Battle.net launcher for a few days now. I do a double take every time I see the "10.0" banner scroll by.

Ehm no, most of the bad things happened in the game was because the "old guard" under Afrasiabi didn't listen to feedback at all.

God that Legion announcement is so gringe in hindsight. The video for 9.2. was fine but just way too light on content. But I liked that they used lots of different people to showcase the new stuff!

I'm actually curious which Content Creators are going to get interviews this time around.

I hope Athalus gets another one. His post-tier/RWF interviews have been excellent!
