Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

I think it's more likely they'll use a "Tracer"/"Mercy" sort of name, Peacekeeper or Justice or something.

I guess the other route would be to minor retcon that "Jesse McCree" wasn't actually his birth name, but rather a cowboy sort of name he made up and started calling himself when he left home.

I think there's precedent for that. If my memory serves, there's an interaction between McCree and Sombra where she says "it's a pleasure working with you McCree... if that is your real name," which implies his current name could be an alias of some sort.

Apparently there is these starting armor sets in 9.1 data(According to the main MMO Champion page) O.o

This is rather old news--I'm surprised it took them this long to report on it.

this mobufuki dude is fake

He refers to lecraft as a senior developer but lecraft's job was senior designer. Someone actually in this line of work would understand the difference--typically developer here is referring to someone who actually does the coding. He's not the guy responsible for gameplay decisions if he's a developer

it doesn't make sense for someone who works at blizzard to make this sort of mistake because to them this distinction would actually matter

Due to recent events, I wonder if they will rename World of WarCRAFT to something like World of Azeroth and will take this chance to remove the factions since you know... "the game's name is Warcraft and not Peacecraft".

They will rename the game to Planet of Peacecraft, since War is too harsh of a word for the current era.

Oh this argument again. Warcraft always means war is being made. That doesn't mean faction war. Don't get sand in your pants.

That's not at all what the post was referring to lol

Except he was, he mentioned the removing of factions cause being at peace means no war is happening ever.

Pretty sure he was referring to the McCree name change controversy

Good point. This sort of sends his credibility crashing. I was maintaining something almost analogous to suspension of disbelief until now, but that is pretty condemning for his point.

I know, it was just a joke. The war doesn't mean only when player factions are on each other throats, people who say that needs better material...

I hope the revamp is coming

Or it could be the level 60 boost starter gear



Wasn’t awakenings a leak from around legion?? Props on fixing up the logo though


The fate of eternity sounds like a final SL patch and I’m doubtful that it ends at 9.2 but it looks real enough

[InflaterMouse]

How about cosmetic quivers for hunters? Such easy wins they could completely implement... Now if you want a quiver you either pick Alleria's bow or farm the current drop from Normal or Heroic quiver that removes the cloak.

I'm on board for that as well.

[Sondrelk]

I'm on board for that as well.

There are so many comsetic quivers in game already as well. Sure they are all from Vanilla to WotLK, but that is still a large amount of cosmetics that is straight up not in the game.

Based off of this article, it seems like Mac'Aree is confirmed to be getting a name change

So accurate.

They look more like Pajamas than actual gear.

Maybe we overestimate the power of ion in this team.
He said several things that will not happen yet happened.
Maybe the line where he said we're not gonna see a world revamp on the scale of cataclysm would also not happen was also made less true by other people voting for a world revamp inside the team?

This has nothing to do with Ion and everything to do with "what do I care about my idle gossip of yesterday". They have been going back on their word all the time without specifically announcing or even acknowledging it. Heck, "Blizzard" as such has made a 180 on their supposed design goals more than I can count. That being said, I won't believe in a world revamp unless I see it with my own eyes, as that was clearly not what they've had planned and I'm not even sure how they intend to pull it off.

Could also be something only technically true.

Like a world revamp could mean only cursory changes to zones, and no actual new zones and big changes like what cata had.

[Cosmic Janitor]

If we get revamps I would expect them to be at least on the level of the warfront zones tbh. Cata often just changed the layout but not the fidelity, if they really were to make old zones the playground for the next expansion they'd have to severly pretty them up, especially old trees, buildings, caves, etc.
