Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Yarathir]

What an oof.

[SniperCT]

Liking the profession changes a lot

[Deventh]

New UI - Great. 10 years too late, but better late than never.
New talents? - Amazing. Great start, but need to see more on that to make a judgement.
Art in the new continent? Amazing, as always.

Everything else? Awful. It just doesn't give the needed boost the game needed badly (like Legion did after WOD).

[ClassicPeon]

Anyone else surprised that there's no new gameplay system?

This feels a bit like filler again. But I guess they need 900000000 years for the revamp.

What the fuck even is a filler expansion?

[Smokinya]

I'm disappointed and my day is ruined. They have fucked up royally by reusing so many assets. Fuck Blizzard.

Yeah. There's a lot of reused assets here. Kinda crazy actually.

[Malorne the White Stag]

They took crafting from XIV, talents from PoE/Grimdawn and mounts from GW2. Is literally anything here aside from the race that should be on the cutting room floor original?

Race is beorning from lotro

[Jodmos]

That was not much.

[Local Ardenweald Faerie]

I liked the deepdive... but it ending like that made me snort haha

[Buliwyf the Omen]

Release date? Uh? Hello?

[TheramoreIsTheBomb]

So is there aspect power or not? Mission table?

[Makabreska]

What the fuck even is a filler expansion?

An expansion I do not like.

[Kiivar86]

Yeah. There's a lot of reused assets here. Kinda crazy actually.

Show me an expansion that doesn't have reused assets.

Christ almighty, I get being disappointed but acting like this is new?

[Blayze]

Surely the Dracthyr race-class limitation speaks to the people who feel monks should have been Pandaren only?

On the flip side, you've got Void Elves as an example of a race that really should have its classes limited.

"Yeah, I'm powered by the unrelenting whispers of horrific creatures beyond mortal understanding... but I hit things with a sword because I get v. angry."

[Malorne the White Stag]

Very underwhelming. Some good stuff like the talents and ui, but nothing too exciting.

[m4Zzo928]

So I am not particularly excited about this xpac because it does not bring any feature that blows me away. But the theme is OK, there are some much needed revamps so if they actually deliver content on time it will likely be a fun ride.
I'll always be hoping for more cause I am greedy but at the end of the day the expansions that promised more than just the usually content cycle were Cataclysm (World Revamp, xpac did not end up that good, the revamp had great highs but also serious lows), WoD (almost everything shown in the announcement was delivered in a much worse form or scrapped) and Legion (which delivered everything it promised, though could definitely have used more work and had poor content in the middle only saved by MT)

I think its look ok, minus the new race, which I think looks worse than a Worgen. The trailer was again ok, a brief moment of excitement when the dragons showed up, but one of the lower quality cinematics I've seen from Blizzard. It couldn't be more clear in this video that Blizzard is run and being made by brand new young people, and take that for what it is.

[Thorqin]

I honestly felt 2nd hand embarrassment for the panellists trying to hype this turd up.

[Makabreska]

Release date? Uh? Hello?

when did you get a release date on xpac release?

[Deventh]

Realistically one race, since it is tied to faction. You wont change it willy-nilly because it means faction swap.

Sure, but you have a choice at least. Imagine if when we got Pandaren, but Monk is tied only to Pandaren. This is basically what is happening now.

[KainneAbsolute]

So that's it? I have better memories of Legion announcement.

[rhorle]

I am sure they will turn into an inevitable shitshow at some point.

So you like what they are doing but still find ways to hate on it? Maybe it is time to find a new hobby that isn't WoW.
