Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Xilurm]

So what do you all think we will get for WoW in Blizzcon 2023?
Let's say DF releases 29/11. If we go with a Legion cadence of patches (as we should), Blizzcon will happen about a week after the RWF finishes for the 10.2 raid. It can very well include both a 10.3 and 11.0 announcement. Blizzcon 2024 will be right before the 30 year anniversary of the WoW franchise and the 20 year anniversary of WoW; 11.0 could well release at that date (it would be a Saturday which is messy but we are talking about a massive anniversary).

I'll say this, 11.0 will be the last expansion where I will have any hope for a world revamp. If it doesn't happen there for the 20 year anniversary it won't happen.

They can release it on Friday instead.

Having a 11.0 announcement is pretty much a given. They always happen every two years. I wonder if they will actually do a 10.3 though.

What are the chances the talent trees won't be present in Alpha though?

They 100% can launch the Alpha without all classes.

Or we will just wait few months for all trees to be revealed before they launch the alpha.

Very possible to have gradual class releases.

They did it for 8.0/7.3 I think.

Where are the "today is the day, I can feel it" posts? Too early?

No I mean if there's actually going to be a 10.3 patch, or if will stop at 10.2 like they did with SL.

If they want to get egged on BlizzCon 2023 sure.

First one is much more likely. I reckon the majority of players don't follow Alpha/Beta news at all, and the only sort of news they get is probably from the official WoW site or twitter.

The blogs will be on the official WoW site (I'd say they don't even follow that; the pop ups on Battle.net are probably their best engagement)

Today is the day, I can feel it.

Aren't current devs past WoW players? And look where that brought us.

Except for Ion, no one noteworthy and Ion was relevant during the EJ days. Since late legion/BFA, there are tremendous amounts of indepth experience and knowledge with players. During BFA devs reached out to many top m+ teams regarding future class and dungeons balance, which was most likely ignored as I doubt anyone would ever recommend a Theater of Pain design over Freehold.

Happy Thorsday everyone!

We got some clarifications on season 4 last night so atleast there is no radio silence. Will be interesting to see what feedback on it will make it into season 1 of Dragonflight (since they already said that the way the creation catalyst turned out did influence recent season 4 changes).

Wouldn’t be mmo-c without feeling optimistic about everything (even the improbable).

[Skildar]

I would like for them to move Blizzcon to a time of year where they can announce next wow expansion there with enough information and detail, either june or july I guess. The thing is that this period already has E3...

What's wrong with being optimistic? It's atleast 100000x times more fun than being a negative nancy all the time.

*puts on my dragon horns*

You know, I'm actually expecting lots of Dracthyr cosplay at Blizzcon 2023!

Shouldn't it be during November anyways?
