Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Marlamin]

probably has nothing to do with WoW

Begone, heretic. *boos*

[Worldshaper]

So they just posted their news round-up post, which makes me suspect they won't be doing anything Alpha-related this week. Surely they'd want to catch those news in a post like that.

We need more black dragons for Dragonflight!

Hope they did not forget Sabellian again.
Could end up a villain though.

I’m hoping he pops up in the black dragon storyline. It could be a form of conflict between him and Wrathion on who should be the leader of the black dragonflight.

Though idk if he was corrupted or not, or if the old god corruption persists after N’zoth’s death.

Well, this means absolutely nothing. Alpha should be very soon, so previews could be any time, anyway.

Of course this means absolutely nothing. LOL. Everyone else likes to troll on this site so why not? SoonTM

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.

Still, they should kickstart testing ASAP.

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.

[Cheezits]

I'm surprised they still haven't announced things like the Slimesaber and whatever those stables are for.

[Aeluron Lightsong]

Official forums are almost worse then here tbh.

It's problematic to so heavily nerf a mainstay of a season this late. They missed their window by about 3-4 months on that one.

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

They are far worse.

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.

[Marlamin]

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).

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

[Cheezits]

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?
