Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Vasoka]

Shadowlands was added to the catalog on April 3rd (a friday) with the client releasing on the next Tuesday/Wednesday (depending on timezone).

So it's the same situation - next week.

Copium Mk2

420 copium it.

[Catastrophy349]

Next week is gonna be a LIT week, if you catch my drift.

[towelliee]

it's almost like my Alpha command date is kinda happening

OH

Does this 100% reject the idea of a mined build today?

It's summer and there are fires?

[Marlamin]

Nope, but I'll be (happily) surprised if they give us a full weekend of datamining before next week's festivities.

OH

Out of curiosity, why did you call Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday stuff like "Alpha Watch Day 1" and so on if you're so sure of an actual date?

[towelliee]

oh hype content viewership obviously

[Worldshaper]

Imagine if it drops in like 2 hours. It'd be perfect. Dozens of new models and icons just pouring in. Oh and MUSIC because we're far along in development.

And the unexpected surprise, additional customization options for Allied Races!

What are these festivities? I must have missed something?

[Worldshaper]

oh hype content viewership obviously

Well, thanks for saying it out loud at least.

[8bithamster]

For those going "OMG WE SAID SO! IT WOULD DROP TODAY!!" you said the same every week, every day so far. A broken clock is still right 2 times a day.

[Vasoka]

No chance for datamining today?

He can't outright tell his viewers when the Alpha would start. That would be distrustful and keep Blizzard from trusting him on future insider info in the future. That is why he said "Alpha Prediction July 14th" over a month ago. He used the word "prediction" to sort of "cover his behind" while also letting his community know to chill out.

I like you, you're smart

[The Stormbringer]

Since we're all about speculation up in here, has anyone spent time dreaming up what future zones they might add yet? I feel like we're definitely going to see some sort of Black Dragonflight zone, but they could also throw us a curveball and go Bronze/Infinite if Murozond comes up as a villain.

Personally I would love to see another Titan facility, either on the Isles we know of, or nearby.

I'm a teacher so I have to have a brain. I'm also a subscriber on Twitch! Happy Weekend! Alpha next week! Woot!

[Slowpoke is a Gamer]

Okay yeah Towelliee's here, neat but hang on I just realized there's a huge fatal flaw with Blizz's professions revamp.

If they're doing the thing again where each zone has a unique herb, plus the rare herb, plus 5 quality tiers of each, and they aren't revamping how materials are stored at all then that's....

30 inventory slots that herbalists in particular are going to be losing solely to their profession. That's effectively an entire bag just gone the moment you enter the Dragon Isles.
