Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Greyfang]

Said anything exciting so far?

They've talked about alt friendliness, dragon riding/reps will be mostly account wide. Except in cases like if you unlock a ilvl300 helm from a reputation, that probably won't be available for alts right off the bat.

Also confirmed they're planning on doing something similar to the creation catalyst, and no mission table for DF.

[Ersula]

I wish they had gotten literally anyone other than Taliesin to host it. I can't stand the guy, bad vibes.

Taliesin is less cringe than Ion himself.

They should keep his contact with the public to a minimum.

[Kiivar86]

No mission table, and Ion says almost everything will be account-wide in Dragonflight.

Sounds good to me.

edit: Summary so far, notable thing to me:

-The Dracthyr starting zone will be used for more than just a starting zone

Yeah that's patch content then.

I liked the mission table but I get removing it- it wasn't really doing *that much*.

Hell yeah on the account wide business.

"We want everyone to feel hope for the future, the future of the Dragon Isles".

I wonder if that is an intentional bit of preprepared PR blurb, or if he came up with that on the spot, because that sounded very much like he was actually saying "Make players hopeful for the future of WoW".

[Polybius]

Very true. I liked the Lich King, but I'm not going to deny that he was an evil fuck and that he committed atrocities. That said, liking darker/evil characters doesn't imply anything about you unless you are okay with their actions. Some of the Sylvanas stans on Twitter worry me more than a little.

Sylvanas and Garrosh. Some have turned out to be terrible people but others just love to roleplay.

That'll be interesting seeing as they said we aren't getting legendaries this expansion.

Yeah I actually enjoyed it pretty well. But not for everyone, I know.

Creation catalyst is for tier in Zereth Mortis.

I'm assuming they mean being able to craft Tier gear, not legendaries.

I already forgot what it does, LOL

Do you think there will be more than one Tier set this expansion? With the creation catalyst there wouldn't really need to be. Otherwise having to choose between three different sets in my inventory based on the situation makes by bag hole quiver in fear.

[wowrefugee]

Dracthyr able to run torghast, interesting.

[Greyfang]

On Evoker gear/weapons:

"They're definitely an intellect class and both specializations are that in terms of weapons, this this can all subject to change, but I think initial thoughts are probably what shamans can use, minus Shields plus swords if that makes sense. So like Dagger, fist weapon, Mace, staves, axes and that's the current thinking"

[boyzma]

no tank spec

[Greyfang]

No class hall/artifact for Evokers, we already kinda guessed.

[ChairmanKaga]

Yeah it would be completely bizarre otherwise.

[Veluren]

Confuses me they'd even mention that since Evoker start at level 58, I guess for Legacy Content but calling out Chromie time is odd

[Cheezits]

Battle for Azeroth remains the default experience for new players, but that may be updated down the line.


HMMMMMMMMMM

HMMMMMMMMMM

I could see Dragonflight being the new default experience in 11.0. Seems to be more grounded and easier to comprehend, which is in line with Ion's logic for BfA being the follow up to exiles' reach.

[ChairmanKaga]

no tank spec

Cool. I doubt this will quiet people down but it's obvious that ship has sailed as far as the devs are concerned for DF.
