Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Kiivar86]

We're on 1333.

I see 2667, myself.

Folks seeing different probably have it set to show a different amount of posts per page.

[Valysar]

Depends of how many posts you set per page I guess

Sorry hun, only the default post per page count is canon.

Until we can deal with the wound its safer to keep it in unless we want another well of eternity... because thats how you get one.

And it no longer has demonic influence, we dealt with that at end of legion or do people not remember how in lore we got rid of our artifact power

Sword has gone dormant, hasnt be fully cleansed #lore

The whole point of us losing our artifacts was that we stopped the sword corruption

Still "dormant" not destroyed, dormant, which has a specific meaning.


Plus red swirling sword like remoria, cant imagine how is gonna be

They were even there, in the data, in 9.0 - They could have made those customization options for Blood Elves if they wanted, that they didn't points to them considering them for a future allied race.

IDK about that. It really could also be one of those things like refusing to add High Elves for the alliance, creating VE's, and then adding HE options to that. You said it yourself, their logic is not earth logic. Not because something makes sense from the outside it means it's something they considered/thought was important.

My dreams would be completely dashed if "We're going to keep things secret far longer than we need to, or that it's even beneficial to do so" didn't seem to the Blizzard's entire philosophy right now. Just look at hiding the announcement cinematic for 6 extra months. Or the entire Sylvanas & Zovaal storyline.

Darkfallen aside, Allied Races as pre-order bonuses are just good for the game in general: It's something that encourages people to level new characters in the middle of a long content drought.

I do agree that they were good for the game; it really was AR what mad eme preorder BfA, and then DK for SL.

But I just don't see any solid hints of them planning any new races for this hiatus, which is such a bummer because they do really give you some goals during the hiatus, specially now with the cross faction. *sigh* I really hope I'm wrong about this, but I don't see AR's happening between here and DF.

There's still time. The biggest red flag is so far, nothing in 9.2.5 actually qualifies it being a patch. Hell, so far the affix & quests could be hotfixed into live. We still have not seen what they actually plan for 9.2.5

*shrug* X.X.5 patches have usually been system and QoL changes, I think. They are minor patches, so of what we have seen so far is all we get, it really does fit with what .5 patches are. I don't think it's a red flag, just underwhelming. I could even say that the cross faction grouping alone warrants making it a solid minor patch.

So yeah, genuinelly I don't see hints of we getting an AR, and that's what bums me out -and again, I do hope I am wrong-

I've been meaning to make an alt in FF14, since they changed up the ARR quests a bit, and especially with some of the latter duty revamps this last patch.

I've never really liked the fact that everything is account-wide in WoW. It makes sense because it's an mmo, I understand that, but when I start a new character I want it to feel like a "New Game" instead of a "New Game +" which is what it feels like right now.

Most people who start an alt don't wanna start from 0 though so everything is gonna always be account-wide. I do wish there was some toggle when making a new character though...

That's kind of how I feel. I think increased rep for alts is the way to go. Good compromise.

So, the minor patch is in fact a minor patch.

What a twist, who could've predicted that?!

At this rate 10.2 will have a second continent to explore, and 10.3 will be a full world revamp.

x.x.5 patches are whatever they want but mostly QoL and evergreen stuff. For example in Legion every .5 patch had a raid release with it (and allied races ). In BfA I believe one of the .5 patches also had a raid and questline. So while they are mostly QoL they they really can be anything blizz sees fit.

But yeah I guess what 9.2.5 is missing is a sort of bridge between the two expacs as themes feel disconnected compared to what we had since Cata.

Im good with that personally

The biggest hint to the ARs is that Tirisfal is encrypted, just like the preorder stuff.

World tree seed? Not encrypted. Tirisfal and everything in it? Encrypted. If it’s just the Forsaken getting Lordaeron back, why is it so secret? You can see updated Brill already and it’s not that different, so something syuper secret must be happening.

Not even Zovaal’s CORPSE was encrypted and this is?

There’s also things like that looks to be a new Velonara texture (I believe) who is the leader of the Dark Rangers and that area being where they were dropped off in 8.3. So we know that’s where they were last. Bolvars throne was similarly encrypted in BFA until we knew about the DK preorders.

[Shadochi]

At this rate 10.2 will have a second continent to explore, and 10.3 will be a full world revamp.

Its obvious that 10.1 is Other side of Azeroth, 10.2 Other side of Draenor and 10.3 Other Side of Argus. And then a secret 10.4 being De Other Side revamped into a 40man raid

Seems to me that blizz is just looking into encrypting more story related stuff, would like to see that on alpha might be why they didn't talk so much about the story

I’d agree if they weren’t the only quests encrypted. And I doubt they are relevant to DF

"There is a new big bad in Dragonflight, but just like Mists of Pandaria, the big bad won't be known initially."

Yeee, did they forget they spoiled SoO during MoP reveal?

"Players are expected to learn more about Galakrond, as well as the different aspects and other kinds of dragons that existed in the past."

Welp, Galak was always a prime candidate for final boss, or at least a tier boss.

[Jodmos]

I've come to the conclusion that this whole reveal has been rushed out.

The fact that there isn't a single item on the shop related to Dragonflight was the clincher. Just revealed the next big thing and not having anything about it for sale to take advantage of the early hype is remarkable.
