Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Kereberus]

Oh boy everyone more updates on the Night Elves in the future. Revamp for 11.0 confirmed, break out the signatures.

Man what a shitshow this patch is on twitter already. Who knows, maybe this will be the final straw that breaks WoW's story team finally. Yet another example of "Blizz no longer has the resources or talent to have divided factions and divided storylines."

Works fine on my Machine, unsure what you're expecting

It's not perfect, but I'd hardly go that far. Most people I've seen overall like the story, but just feel that the Alliance got a bit shafted again in the story department. But overall reception seems to be positive thus far in my view.

The hell's up with Marileth's voice in the questchain? He sounds like someone trying to do a very poor impression of him.

It sounds like they either recast him with someone who sounded very close to him, or the voice actor was sick.

He has the gravelly-ness to his voice that he didn't have before that I tend to associate in real life with being very phlegmy and having to clear your throat a lot.

So I have a question. I'm not subbed right now, don't have any blood elves or Dark Iron Dwarfs and no plans on getting any. Is there anything else worth subbing again for? I don't mind waiting for launch...or pre-patch, so was just wondering if I should save the money?

If you enjoy the regular gameplay of WoW yes.

Thanks for the response. That's pretty much what I thought...although I do enjoy Wow...think I'll just keep an eye on things until something perks my interest.

I think the most important reason is that there are chances for new social connections afforded by cross faction. Especially if you played Alliance.

The Blood Princes & Lanathel were literally Paladins.

Maybe they were in life, but when they were risen as sanlayn the paladin (if at all) in them is gone and they got a set of completely new skills. We as players are just paladins and druids while being undead as with these dark ranger costumization. It doesnt make much sense to me.

There are no further lore details as in my understanding what was discussed earlier, its just given to all and up to your own interpetation, just an rp element and not canon in lore.

I dont like it, but this is what most people say and it makes sense.

No, it is canon. Just because we don't see any named darkfallen pala/druids npc's yet doesn't make it not canon. We can create them. They are canon now. Our characters are canon to the game.

Or maybe one of his experiments went wrong and now he has slime in his throat. Mhmhm. Sliiiiime.

Oof this Dragonflight news drought is killing the little interest I had for the expansion. I have no idea why they're waiting so long to drop more information or anything in regards to the upcoming expansion. I mean 9.2.5 is nice for players that enjoy Shadowlands, but it really does not much for ones who abandoned this expansion long ago.

Probably because they're nowhere near done with it even at the art/zone/modeling teams. Even with a shortened no 9.3 Shadowlands, Dragonflight won't arrive earlier than 2023. February is the earliest I can see it drop but I find April/May more likely. For the rest of this year they're banking on WotLK Classic to keep them afloat.

[Raetary]

I predict alpha in 2 weeks, news about it next week.

Great, does that mean you are leaving and we don't have to read your constant ranting about anything any longer? You sound like a little child that doesn't get its sweets.

It is strange that they hurried to reveal it on a random date in April just to follow with months of radio silence.

Since the announcement was not ties to Blizz on or any other event, they could have just waited untill July or whatever and end with "Alpha is starting with next week, see you in Dragon Isles."

[Hugnomo]

I still wonder what we're gonna get with pre orders ...

[Hitei]

Probably whelp cloak transmogs, and whatever the "emerald drake" mount actually is. Maybe a chromatic weapon enchant transmog and maybe an armor set or something.

Gotta get that financial year Q1 resub money in somehow.

Gotta get that financial year Q1 resub money in somehow.

But April is the start of Q2.

For Hype resub baiting, March or June would have made more sense.
