    Nah. That would mean they are actually in tune with a part of the playerbase.

    Maybe. I'm absolutely on the side of wanting Darkfallen AR, but then I wonder what The Dark Ranger's Pupil quest is for, then, if the Calia questline is Darkfallen.


    My pipe dream: Dark Ranger quest is for hunter spell effects, Calia quest is Darkfallen AR. Just drown me in fan service.

    I definitely didn't think the Worgen would be the ones to get some Darkfallen into the Alliance but okay fine. Though if Calia is going to actually be a Horde Faction Leader or remain neutral is up in the air. The Forsaken need an actual Horde leader, and it certainly doesn't help that she 1.) Tried to defect to the Alliance & 2.) Is dating a Proudmoore.

    Honestly the Pupil Quest is probably the requirement to get the acquisition quest & the Calia quest is the acquisition quest, in line with other Allied Races.

    We kinda have though.

    in the art department there has been a ton of updated models like harpy’s, quillboars, bears ect along with all the new models we typically get every expan. We have got full HD zone revamps like dark shore and arthi a ton of mini zones build for islands and more patch zones then ever before.

    On the coding front we have gotten new systems every patch, huge new types of content like warfronts and Torghast and have had them pump out unplanned raids to fill gaps in both BFA and legion.


    Shadowlands was obviously and dip with it being cut short and Covid and While the quality of the work might be up for debate it’s unquestionable that we have seen a huge increase of work put in when compared to the past when we’d just get a single zone raids and if lucky a couple of dungeons through out an expan.
    All I ever wanted was the truth. Remember those words as you read the ones that follow. I never set out to topple my father's kingdom of lies from a sense of misplaced pride. I never wanted to bleed the species to its marrow, reaving half the galaxy clean of human life in this bitter crusade. I never desired any of this, though I know the reasons for which it must be done. But all I ever wanted was the truth.

    So stiven found something interesting on twitter. idk if its about WoW or not. Anyone have any idea?

    OK the clarifications on the reward system are exactly what I expected PLUS Fated World Bosses! So even casual players could suffer LFR and get a decent weapon for whatever they do (with a cypher weapon before that).

    Though I do wonder if those items will also be upgradeable for raiders. I guess the only item there that is somewhat interesting is Mor'geth's trinket though. Still that means casual players could eventually get tier at a decent ilvl just by using Catalyst on world boss items. ALso as a collector it means more chances for me to get items at all different ilvls so I can get sepulcher mogs. The fact that I can get the LFR mog without stepping into LFR by just using the Catalyst on Sandworn Relic gear made me so happy

    Tbh I think Dark Ranger spells could just make it into the talent tree. We have a way to tame undead-looking beasts like Nathanos does. We could get back Black Arrow, it was part of Markmanship anyway and it could be turned into a utility spell and be on the Hunter tree instead of the spec trees. Beyond that, they could certainly add more things to the talent tree for Marksmanship.

    Blizzard confirms that season 4 won't start with 9.2.5. No surprises here, it would be stupid to wait with good changes for end of S3.

    Yeah so they can launch 9.2.5 this month, and then concentrate on the alpha

    I mean wowhead had an article about that, season 4 is still 4-5 months away. Season 4 will supposedly be a little shorter than the usual season, resulting in Dragonflight launching in 10-11 months.

    The important part of 9.2.5 is not the content anyway. It's cross faction. I really wonder if they managed to get any testing done on it through the PTR.

    I almost wonder if that is the reason they just flatly removed the ability to have cross-faction grouping for raids with even the mildest of faction specific stuff like ICC. Probably much easier to have it work when you don't ever have to consider those raids.

    Oh those are probably super complex. Entirely possible the raid has faction tags all over the place.

    I doubt it's actually all that hard. Main problem should be figuring out how you want to do it, not so much the technical side.

    So it isn't about how you flag the raidgroup as horde/alliance, but whether you do and how that is decided.

    Its seems like testing hasn't even begun on some parts of 9.2.5, but theres nothing stopping the last patch of an expansion & an expansion alpha from being tested at the same time, in fact this usually happens.

    Will you provide some example or will argue about facts again? Because SL public testing started after 8.3 (8.3.7 wasn't even minor content patch, it changed some technical stuff in preparation for SL and launched ~2.5 months before pre-patch), BfA after 7.3.5, Legion after 6.2.3, WoD after 5.4.7, MoP after 4.3.3.

    I was thinking the exact same thing. xD I cannot remember when there was ever an alpha alongside the PTR for the last patch of an expansion. But, you know, the internet...alternative facts, everyone is allowed to spew misinformation as fast as they can.

  20. #55600
    Yeah I don't see the alpha going up before the PTR goes down. And I have to admit I am not following the PTR that much, what has been tested so far? I haven't seen anything about them actually testing the affix, the retuned M+ dungeons (the WoD ones were never even M+) or the Fated mechanics. All those would need testing (and that is probably the only time they may get some actual testing on cross faction).
