Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Vyomesh2]

Two blogs a week, possibly with a talent calculator at their site (or giving the data needed for WoWHead/others to make one). We'll probably have Alpha within 6-8 weeks.

I am sure all reptiles wish to metamorphose into mammals with massive mammaries.

A noble aspiration, to be sure!

Trash of this type usually ignores affixes. The bigger hammer rabbits prolly wont.

And MoP doesn't have that many dungeons to begin with (probably because some of the places that could be dungeons became shorter scenarios instead e.g. Forgotten Crypts) unless we include the Voss dungeons.

Why wouldn't they include the revamped dungeons as part of the expansion they came out with. The New Uldaman is going to be considered a Dragonflight Dungeon.

Well the new Uldaman is also going to be part of Dragonflight's story. Those three dungeons were a) not visually revamped; they kept the original areas b) not tied to the story of MoP, they are just giving us the story of a single character

Ehm, I'm quite sure atleast Scholomance got revamped visually.

It begann the second they got announced, Twitter is full with days old Dracthyr art.

Interesting seeing the twitter debate between people who like the forms and who don’t.

Scholomance just got made smaller, walling off a whole bunch of areas.

Was it? Will go check.

Didn't they update the textures to be more HD back then? Aswell as new doodads.

I do not have to as you grasp at last straws here? Even that last man standing would have to play his directives. Even if all others in the group failed.

Right. Those directives would have to be 100% about the tank which is solo play. If they require group members then a tank can never be succesful if they are the last one alive. Again we circle back to you requiring a healer to healer others for 100% solo directives. Otherwise a single person can't get a reward if they manage to survive when others die.

My idea is better. You simply do not understand it. You pull some arguments out of your ass to get a debate going while nothing of my idea actually would not be possible from a team as big as that which designs World of Warcraft. Everything that matters here is the wish to even try.

I thought you said they were incompetent? How is a incompetent team supponsed to implement your idea? Exactly. Again WoW has never had challenging matchmaking content. You've been playing the wrong game if you think so. You've been playing the wrong game if Blizzard once abandoned that. Not to mention your idea is not better because it has numerous flaws. It isn't a problem of understanding but a problem of you unable to see the flaws and problems yourself.

Isn't that the same incompetence you think the Blizzard devs have? That they think their way is better no matter what and unable to see the problems of their own designs?

[Kiria]

So yeah, it has begun;



I think Blizzard might have a winner on their hands.

I love it, ❤️

Looking at all that fanart I do wonder whether we will be getting a large chunk of Evoker specific armor, just to offset how many years of dedicated armor they have not been getting, similar to how DHs got quite a lot of armor to begin with just so the had some variety to begin with.

I mean they wear mail

So they are stuck with the design team scraps then, as usual...

[Raetary]

Well, they did bring up heritage sets in some interviews.

I can totally see Dracthyr getting one.

Well there are some cool looking mail gear but yeah most of the time it's the less desirable, but that's also because it was only 2 classes for so long.

Hopefully if the evoker set is anything to go by... we might get some cool stuff !

Also the mail NF and Kyrian set were really good imo

You would have thought that being only 2 classes would have made the sets better, not worse, but here we are.

At least now I can look forward to more variety in raid gear, rather than the Hunter set and the Shaman set to fill out my collection tabs.

[rhorle]

Yeah, if the tank was the last man standing, it would be about his directives. And the mobs would be scaled accordingly. He still had a chance to manage the encounter, but it would take longer than if he was part of a group. You know, groups make you stronger.

So how can directives both apply to group and solo if all have to be meet for an encounter to be defeated by that individual? It again shows that focusing only on your self is the key to victory because as your concept scales down, something I've never avoided despite your claims, it would require the directives to also change to not require anyone other then the tank/healer.

Which means a tank and healer just have to survive until their directives become only about them surviving and they can get loot. There is no other way scaling it down to one person will work in your system. You either have group based directives or solo directives. You can't have both when you also allow for strictly solo victories.

This is why you constantly deflectly into "You don't understand" "You are ignoring" "You are pulling it out of your behind" instead of actually trying to improve your idea and correct the flaws. You are no better then how you think of the Blizzard devs. You aren't interested in trying to improve your idea and make it work. You truly to honestly think your idea is the best thing ever with no flaws. That is the type of arrogance that leads to incompetence.

I wouldn’t doubt it. Dracthyr are definitely going to get a starter zone armor set at the very least.

Yeah its definitely a "they're new so they have to wait for their heritage armor" or "We're getting it out of the way & adding a questline immediately right at level cap" situation. They're a main race not an allied race so it would be tied to reputation, not level 50.
