Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Blayze]

are panels confirmed? do we have any sort of time frame for how long this event will be?

I don't think we got any indication of any of that.

He was the same troll that's been impersonating other users for several days now and posting racist garbage.

I got that, just didn't know when and how he outed himself/someone outed him. Woke up to 50+ pages from last I checked.

[Buliwyf the Omen]

I don't think we got any indication of any of that.

Watch them release two trailers, one of WotLK Classic and one for Dragonflight, and thats it.

"More News to come soon!"

Watch them pull it off.

[Zexaniro]

You're smoking some good shit if you really think this Expansion is gonna be good and still come out this year.

lmao yeah. the life-support patch with cross faction and bringing back old raids and dungeons basically confirms the next xpac is coming mid next year at the very earliest

[Cheezits]

If they reveal a world revamp is coming, people will be alright with a year delay.

I doubt it just due to the preorders which were found. If they do do that… shadowlands has no life left at all. I can’t imagine many sticking around for the next announcement.

I said as much days ago and got shot down for it; I'm expecting the phrase to be something like "We can't wait to share more information with you soon."

[Alexjimithing]

I have high hopes if only because I really enjoy 9.2/ZM!

[therumblings]

I noticed live servers are up, I guess they can just hotfix in the pre-order bonuses?

[rhorle]

They've already committed to another season of shadowlands, given Morgan days comments on season length we have 4-6 months left of 9. 2, and then 6-8 for the next season.

He did say it was the general length of a season and not that every season would last that long. Blizzard is trying new things out for Season 4 so it is entirely possible it won't be as long as a normal season. November does seem unlikely but it is still possible.

I dont think they will do it, given they have official watch parties involved. It will be minimum an hour, probably more like 2

I mean you dont have to look to that. The gap between the last patch and the next xpac is always big. It's always the case.

Can someone post me an updated hype train with the supposed dragon race in it ?

Wtf you mad lads put our 80 pages in 5 hours?

[Kathranis]

It's clearly wearing armor here though.

Assuming it's legit, and it does look legit, it's absolutely reusing the female Metamorphosis rig.



So it's very unlikely that it's rigged to be geared beyond weapons. And the style of armor that's already on it looks like the kind that's baked into the model via geosets, like with other NPC races.

Given that they're reusing a rig that's associated with an iconic transformation for the Demon Hunter class, I kinda doubt they'd be using it as a transformation for a new racial or class ability. So I'm guessing it's probably just a new dragonkin type that will be appearing in the expansion as NPCs.

ofc. as usual since blizzcon was cancelled, the substantial info will come from streamer interviews. I expect the trailer to be super vague and dry like the 9.2 announcement

[Shadochi]

Agreed, ZM and 9.2 have gotten more hate than they deserve. Its not perfect but it is pretty good

[Zexaniro]

yes and the fact that the patch contains content that is intended to last a very long time, expect it to be even longer than the previous gaps.

Yep, in-game store will switch over and encryption key will become available magically.
