Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Wangming]

Some of the most fun I had in this game as a noob was making one of each race to play through their starting zone and seeing how much variety in everything and just how big the world was. The single starting experience is... fine. But if I were a new player now it just wouldn't be comparable to what I got as a new player back in the day

Thank you! Exactly!

Plus having a voiceover telling you "you are a worgen and you are a member of the alliance" doesn't really help you understand your place in the world. Now, fighting against Sylvanas and having your ass saved be the Night Elves on the other hand is really good at that.

I was thinking about it, but why? Just enjoy the announcement don't spoil yourself minutes or seconds before...

I kind of feel the same way. The website most likely isn't going up until the announcement starts so at that point you might as well just watch the 3 minute announcement trailer instead of spoiling yourself at the last second.

You're only slim if you're a toothpick.

More like you are slim when you are slim.

[Bomba the Shaman]

HYPE HYPE!

I hope blizz doesn't let me down -.-

Best new expansion. World of Warcraft: Escape of Garrosh


Entire expansion is just us looking for Garrosh all over and, when found, ask his forgiveness and declare him Warchief for life.

Escape of The Garrosh.

[AngerFork]

Yeah, boost is like a $40-50 value on its own, so your bundling that in the higher tiers.

Do they still sell Collected editions? If I like what I see, I might want an artbook.

I think they do still, yeah. The bummer though is that they don't give you your key early for something like that, so you either have to wait for the print version or there's some weird thing where you can give one of the keys to a friend or the like.

[Revamp Man]

I'm still calling it.

Main characters of the expansion:

Alextrasza
Wrathion
Azshara - reluctant ally

Main Villains:

Murozond - end boss
Odyn
Chromatus
Some sort of dragon King/Queen of the Vrykul

Azshara to head through a portal created by Murozond during the final fight to pre-sundering Kalimdor to seize the "true throne of power" (her old Empire). Accompanied by a desperate Wrathion believing this is his only chance of saving the Black Dragonflight from extinction, by preventing Deathwings fall to madness.

BOOKMARK IT FOLKS, WAR OF THE ANCIENTS EXPANSION TO FOLLOW DRAGONFLIGHT.

why would odyn be bad

[Raetary]

Keep in mind we are most likely also getting the wotlk classic announcement, so add another 10-15 minutes of waiting.

[[Apok]]

why would odyn be bad

Because he's a cunt

F, you're right!

[Hitei]

Caverns of Time: Escape of Garrosh?!

What would it even be? His escape wasn't some big event with a lot going on, like the portal opening, or Thrall's escape (which involved fighting his way out) or the Culling, or the defense of Hyjal. He got instantly portal'd out of custody and to Nagrand.

[Keyalios]

why would odyn be bad

Odyn never wanted the Dragons empowered. He’s also kinda a jerk- from Helya to his decision to make his own Spirit Healers with blackjack and hookers he really is just an arrogant jerk.

[ercarp]

F, you're right!

I'm not getting anything like that on my end. Just a blank white page.

There changed that. If you buy the virtual collectors edition and then later the physical one you can just put the code into the website and you get refunded the money spent on the virtual one.
Just Blizzarbucks of course, but still much easier than having to find a ustomer service rep to give your key to someone else.

[Graden]

Escape of The Garrosh.

Escape of The Garroshes.

[m4Zzo928]

I'm not getting anything like that on my end. Just a blank white page.

Out of maybe 5-6 tries it only happened once for me, and the whole screen was the same exact dark brown as on the Blizzard sites so.

I'm surprised Warriors got Skyhold; I'd have expected Paladins to go there, and for their campaign to involve learning how much of a tosser Odyn is and usurping him because of it.

Seriously?!? Nice! I may consider doing that this time. I wound up with a couple of old collectors editions from a friend when they moved out of the country & now I kind of want them all.
