Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Merryck]

Official forums are almost worse then here tbh.

They are far worse.

Huh? I thought Slimesaber (Jigglesworth Sr) was confirmed on the PTR for completing all the Fated Raids in S4?

It has been encrypted and not officially revealed.

Guess we’ll see what it is?

Dungeon or something with a shifting layout?

It was. Each raiding tier has its own rewards if you complete all three raids with the new affix. The mount for either NM or LFR, title for HC, and raid portal for Mythic.

PTRs are on their way back online with 9.2.7, we'll probably see a build today still (keep expectations low, could be a very minor patch, but I secretly hope it solves the stable mystery).

[Ferlion]

I'm going to guess they skip alpha and it is straight to beta. Nothing requires them to do an alpha first and it feels like they used that for internal testing with how close we are to a launch.

Being pedantic. But technically WoW's Alpha is it's beta. Blizzard is weird with it's naming schemes. A lot of gaming in general is. It wouldn't make much of a difference outside of marketing

I can see a Bronze related dungeon being different each time, using Torghast tech.

Would be a nightmare for M+ but still.

Speaking of time... do we think we'll get any Caverns of Time stuff at launch?

Just a slightly evolved take on Waycrest Manor as long as they keep a rotation of bosses the same

Agreed, maybe M+ would have a set layout?

Idk that's my best guess based on the Gif.

If Mythic raids can get so blasted that everyone can get CE, whats really the problem with nerfing hunters/locks right away? they already have the titles, let the other less popular specs get a title too.

Sepulcher Mythic does not get blasted, that's the thing. Blizz just acknowledged it by comparing number of CE's with previous tiers and announced even more nerfs before S4.

I cna only assume they realized too late that past final tiers have been carried heavily by "endless" power gains, and they didnt actually have any for 9.2, so they are constantly behind on actually nerfing it.

Our parrot friend was right! https://twitter.com/zorbrix/status/1...plbDurQfxJlcqA

[Makorus]

the numbers, what do they mean

[Cheezits]

Patch notes are sparse, hopefully there's some interesting things snuck in.

[Hyrja]

maybe its mainly a systems patch with preparations for DF like 8.3.7 was for Shadowlands

[Makorus]

Auction Houses across all realms on a given region will now share commodity listings (gems, herbs, flasks, consumables, etc.). Items that aren’t commodities–like armor and weapons–will continue to be realm-specific.

WOOW

That is HUGE.

[Ferlion]

WOOW

That is HUGE.

It's going to normalize prices. I'm not sure how I feel about it. My server was pretty regularly way cheaper than the norm, and I'm on a populated server.

From a non-selfish standpoint, GG. Great idea

Good stuff, hopefully they add a Middleman Service for the Services Channel so that Buyers can have the safety that if Sellers don't accomplish what they bought they get their gold back.

Really hopeful that they fully integrate the WoW Token Economy into a Services Tab together with the channel. It would be such a nice thing to have a Middleman Service provided by Blizzard that has triggers for accomplishing services for the buyer which in turn leads to the seller getting their money and if it they don't accomplish the service the buyer gets their money back.

Really astonishing great stuff, Blizz!

Awful nice of Blizz to give such an easy cross-server, cross-faction way of transferring gold (though for a cost to be sure) in Patch 9.2.7.

After the patch, if you want to send money to your alt on another server, all you'll have to do is have the character receiving gold put up a flask or herb for a bit more than you wish to transfer, then have your character sending the gold purchase the flask/herb off the new AH.

thats not how it works with new AH.

Since you have to buy all "cheaper versions" first. Sadly, you can't choose your seller. It auto-selects lowest price.
What else you could do- find some non-existent item on ah (like old-school fish or something), tag it for 1-5-10-50-100-200k gold.... and post it. log over to your char and buy it (aka send gold for 5% cut)
