Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Ersula]

Honestly I hope they make some other sort of Dragonflight announcement today to placate the people who will hate this mobile game.

[Foreign Exchange Ztudent]

Looking at those pocket leaders, I feel like the writing team of this game hasn't really played much of any Warcraft games & were instead going off of a spreadsheet of WoW character names.

Sneed is a Horde member even though he worked for the Defias Brotherhood and also was not affliated with Bilgewater. So yeah, the Historian is wildly inept at this point in time.

[Revamp Man]

Pride is the worst sin if my 16 years of being able to witness this dumb games' development team, I stand by that with conviction.

i totally forgot about the covenant swap thing in the 9.2 blog
"we agree there should not be restrictions and it feels bad but without our restrictive design you would not have experienced the amazing story like you did"

[Varodoc]

Strange how Sylvanas doesn't appear to be one of the main Horde characters of this game, or maybe I misunderstood. They always try to copy-paste the big titties goth mommy everywhere, but I'm not seeing her on the website of this game.

Why would they placate anyone? People who hate on mobile games will do it regardless, but they are not significant enough to pay them any attention.

[Raetary]

Yeah, i'm not touching that even with a 10m long stick.

[Aeluron Lightsong]

Not interested but.... not offended by its existence like some people.

[Foreign Exchange Ztudent]

I mean, maybe it can develop into something good but yeah.. I was kind of expecting a cool Warfront style Clash of Clan game and well I received a clusterfuck with a horrible monetization model with lane system that just does not feel good from seeing it (confusing, really).

I mean if they sell some mini figures, maybe I get some. But yeah, idk about this man...

Just seems like they couldn't create a game and so they just made a mash up game idea Clash of Clan style and its just messy.

"hes the boss so he gets the final say" is usually the reasoning i hear but i doesnt mean hes omniscient

it takes 5 minutes of testing the manapearl system to see the big issue with it and Ion didnt catch it so either
1. this heroic raider went through this system and didnt see the shuffle
OR
2. the guy didnt check out the system

Again I am not saying he is good at what he does or that it's not his fault. I just don't understand people who keep calling him "Extremely arrogant". They fuck up and they admit it. They don't start every announcement about how they've done such an amazing job like the story people do.

[Varodoc]

So why is Tirion Fordring listed as an "Alliance Leader" on the website? When did this bitch ever help solely, exclusively the Alliance?

We got one Historian who made a certain book everyone hates and also we've had extremely bad Lore consistency. I mean, you can make sense of it yourself.

Also they are hiring for additional historian too.

[Lady Atia]

Considering they still haven't figured out that Loot Cards could be integrated into Hearthstone. I don't think you need to worry too much beyond them trying to get some extra MAUs with the way the industry counts MAUs' maliciously.

Funny enough, I would like a return of tcg style loot via hearthstone haha.

Also the announcement trailerwas cute , will defo try it out. I like tower defence!

For the same reason that Sneed is in the Horde & we have "Undead" rather than Forsaken or Scourge...this is made in part to appeal to casual fans, not really fans of Warcraft. I'm just amazed with Chilton showing up as part of the team that there wasn't at least some sort of push to keep this better tied to the story of the game.

[Foreign Exchange Ztudent]

Tom Chilton continues to showcase that he was a plague and I think that at least is a good thing to remember if nothing else from this mess.

[Ersula]

Reused renders from the Hearthstone cinematic 6 years ago, of course. Can't really blame them: "Low-effort" is the kind of content mobile gamers crave.

nah dude
thats like expecting a diablo 4 announcement today

a lot of people like clash of clans style games so i imagine a lot will like this even if it is a bit questionable in terms of actually making sense

I'll take all the Hearthstone Tavern content I can get.

Trying to think why you would think Tom Chilton cares about lore when he wasn't related to lore and always sounded incompetent in interviews.

[Foreign Exchange Ztudent]

Wonder if there will be Amiibo integration with the mini figures. Buy mini figures in RL and scan for units in-game?

Skylanders flashback.

I mean, they've done more than one major announcement on the same day. I remember they announced 8.3 & a Hearthstone reveal on the same day.
