Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Sondrelk]

I clearly missed or forgot the conversation, what is the "Raid+" thing everyone keeps predicting.

9.2.5 and Shadowlands Season 4 will have a system in which older raids (in this case Nathria and Sanctum), will have an extra layer of complexity similar in vein to the M+ seasonal affix, that is coupled with the ability to gain rewards similar in strength to the current raid.

[Polybius]

There is also a Moon-Touched Netherwhelp in the game but it was a promotional pet that was "thought to be blessed by the waning lunar energies of Shadowmoon Valley."


The interesting part is that this pet was added in Shadowlands. And people like to think that promotional pets and mounts are clues of what's to come, so... who knows. This at least confirms that Blizzard also believes that a Lunar dragonflight should be white in color (with some blue bits, potentially).

I hope we visit the moon, esp. if there's a titan facility in one. Fly me to the moon...

Although it may be too much considering we're burned on cosmic stories.

I like the predictions you've got here.

But what's Raid+? Like Mythic+? Raiding with affixes?

EDIT: Oh, I see you already answered this above. My bad!

I suggest everyone gets a good amount of sleep tonight. Announcement week starts tomorrow and as we all know the day before usually isn't one to not be paying attention. Don't forget to enjoy the ride, everyone!

Yeah, I assume starting tomorrow we will be full f5 mode on trademark/copyright trackers and dragonflight.blizzard.com

[Nymrohd]

Out of curiosity. Why are there so many predictions of HD Classic mounts? Is it a HD retexture of the mounts we already have? Or HD mounts similar to the one given when you bought the TBC Classic collectors edition?

No idea. Several of the HD retextures are PvP exclusive though. Would be nice for them to be slowly available for PvE. PvP has by far the most exclusive mogs and mounts and unlike PvE you cannot just slowly work for them a couple of xpacs later.

Looking forward to it! I fully expect to get tied up in something at work & come back to 45 extra pages of discussion after someone found a datamined armor texture we missed before.

That's why I want 1:1 remakes similiar to the Alterac Anniversary Mounts. That way the PvP ones are still special and we can get rid of the horrible ugliness of the first generation of mounts that stick out like an old sock next to newer ones. Basically what they did for character models back in WoD.

(Oh and also I wouldn't mind if you could earn Vicious Saddles/Rating via random bg's, similiar to the old classic pvp system)

My favorite was the people saying “I’m the source for the guy from WoD and BfA leaks and I got it from a different source who got it from a different source so that guy getting legion almost entirely wrong just means he’s more legit”

The guy who explained the riddle, was like ; I hope others who also know more info then the people here had fun doing it' this is pure cockblock on a spoiler forum tbh.

I won't be able to watch the presentation on Tuesday because of work so I'm kinda sorta hoping there's lots of leaks tomorrow when I have the day off to enjoy them.

Should have already happened tbh.. it's weird it's not imo.

[SniperCT]

Thanks for the answer on raid+ everyone!

That system sounds cursed!

My normal wakeup time is 130pm eastern (I work nights).

So either I wait or get up a bit early.

[Blayze]

The event starts the second my work ends.
Luckily, I work from home that day; just gotta hope there's no emergency calls in the last five minutes of the workday.

This is where the fun begins, hoping to see some PTR updates as well!

[Deventh]

@ercarp: I updated my Bingo card, thanks for the template <3

Agree with most things in there. But you think we won't get class skins? I think those are more likely to happen than the micro classes knowing Blizzard.

Already missed that boat. But I'll still force myself to get up at the usual hour so it's all good.

I can't be the only one who's had a hard time falling asleep the past few days because I keep checking MMOC on my phone. I wish I wasn't as excited as I am, but I guess I can't help it. A new expansion announcement is always an exciting time.

[Catastrophy349]

I'll be "painting the walls" tomorrow. Almost to the finish line!

[Zaganite]

Pre-announcement days are always the hypest!! Honestly I wouldn't mind if we got nothing because I'm ready for the surprise and to see which part of the leak (if any) is real! Thanks for the hype train over the last few weeks!

[Three Faced Goddess]

Not gonna lie...I sat here and burst out laughing when I read that. lol

LOL You can still like someone, but think they're full of shit. Glad to have made you laugh though~

[benting]

My work has an all hands meeting overlapping with the live announcement
