Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Calfredd]

They made Shadowlands without Dark Rangers or Necromancers.

Yeah but that's different than adding a new class and it not being at least somewhat related to the expansion.

They made Shadowlands without Dark Rangers or Necromancers.

Right, but this was the assumption they'll have a new class. My statement was more "if they add a new class, it's not going to *not* fit into the theme of the expansion." So if this "Evoker" is real, all the arcane murmurings are probably related to Time and/or Blue Dragons, if they're even true.

I agree not having Necros or DRs with Shadowlands was a shit move, but it could be the current dev team doesn't seem enough uniqueness in them. (Which is a shame, and definitely not ideal, but here we are.)

So, they scheduled maintenance on Tuesday from 8:00 AM to 11:00 AM, and the announcement will be at 9:00 AM. Now, this weird timing makes sense.

I was hoping for the announcement to be at 2:00 PM or later, so I could watch it live. It's gonna be tough avoiding all the spoilers before I can watch it six hours later.

I'm thinking about leaving my phone at home...

9 am PDT is already 00:00 on April 20 here. The later the more exhausting for me.

pro-tip: before you use your whiteknightpowercharge cooldown, you should do 3 things:

- think about why i NOT said „all players“
- think about why i NOT said „most players“
- read MMOC for the last 2-3 years, count the negative posts, and look at the user badges.

if you then tell me, what exactly is wrong with my statement above, i will listen.

but maybe i should it write that way, next time:

„to me it seems there are more than maybe 100 and less than maybe 300k peoples out there, that do not like the game design of wow, of the last few years. we, the people i described in the first statement, are not happy… and for us, the people i described in the first statement, it is a disappointment…“

is this better ?

Oh much better. Be sure you do that.

Talent tree don't affect me, because I always take passives or ability replacers; I'd still prefer seven or eight powerful choices over fifty insignificant ones, though.

[KayRule]

They made Shadowlands without Dark Rangers or Necromancers.

Because you can already play Hunter and Death Knight

[Ersula]

Evoker, a cloth caster with dragon and time-themed abilities

I have good news everybody: This is already a class that exists in WoW.

What if there are fifty medium level choices? I'm sure there will still be cookie cutter builds though. There are in every game like PoE.

i was thinking about leakers from the past and found my DM with jericho

interestingly enough this super leaker from the past claims that galakaros was the leak
now the more interesting part is a poster claiming to have been his source for the past was defending scaleface
now it is also important to keep in mind jericho claimed to get the information from a direct source not a friend of a friend of a worker which is what that poster claimed to be
so if you are having any issue with what is being leaked or presumed to be true ie class or talent system or anything

we have nothing from any confirmed legit sources and im surprised we havent heard from towellie

I don't know why we'd assume 10.0 has to have a new class if 9.0 didn't.
There hasn't been a pattern since Cata.

TBC - 2 races
WotLK - 1 class, new hairstyles
Cata - 2 races
MoP - 1 class, 1 race
WoD - Graphics update to Pixar mode
Legion - 1 class
BFA - 1 race, 9 reskins and remodels
SL - New hairstyles and faces

- - - Updated - - -

Because you can already play Hunter and Death Knight

And you can play a warlock instead of a demon hunter.

Somewhat of a small detail, but if anyone had any doubt left about our Alexstrasza art being real, it does look like it uses this new thicker "world" font. Can tell in the straight R drop and thicker L point thingy.

[FossilFree]

Evokers being arcane-themed makes me think this expansion will actually be the Order cosmic force expansion. Sure, maybe we start out on Azeroth instead of going to some plane of order, because who wants a repeat of SL. Instead, it will be more like Legion, but with arcane in place of fel. We could even go to Elunaria in the final patch, kind of like going to Argus.

I hate that I was eventually able to figure out you meant Mage.

What’s with Evoker pushers?

There’s simply no basis for the concept in WoWs narrative other than a handful of generically named NPCs… literally pulled from thin air with most thematic concepts already being expressed within the mage class…

Thank goodness we’ll all know a bit more of what’s to come soon enough!

because a leaker and his buddies said it is a thing

also its fresh speculation instead of the constant debates we get where it inevitably gets derailed because people take their concepts as absolute facts

Few days late on that one.

Yeah, nvm, I'm dumb, it's scheduled for the next day.

I mean, that is exactly what "monk" was prior to MoP.

Someone posted this over-complicated bizarre leak that said something to the effect of "Dragonflight is real, Evoker is coming" in its metadata.
