Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[therumblings]

Did anyone else take notice to the fact that on T & E's weekly reset that they used the white dragon from the preview release today in his thumbnail for the video, which he posted yesterday. It literally is the same angle and everything. And i looked on the press kit site and there is no white dragon with armor that resembles it

Nice catch, that's 100% from the blogpost.

[Hyrja]

He updated the thumbnail today after the blogpost was released. He talked about changing it on stream

Ah, nevermind then. That would have been interesting if Blizzard let him sneak that in there.

One day closer everyone. Happy Monday!

Let us enjoy this moment of extreme hype, before any datamining begins, where all the hype will begin to fade until the prepatch.

Reminder not to set your expectations through the moon for Alpha. First few weeks is a combo of focus testing plus server stability. Think SL where we only had 1 zone 1 dungeon and a few classes to try out in Torghast.

Oh, yeah! Exactly what I wanted to hear. I figured if Shadowlands is the new precedent for Alpha testing in small amounts, this makes the most sense. I assumed we'd get even less, perhaps.

Guessing...
Tuesday: Visage Spotlight
Wednesday: Evoker Class Spotlight + Talent Tree

OR, and hear me out: A map of the Dragon Isles>Anything else

Did any of the new talent trees make you guys excited? I started leveling a Rogue because their's look pretty damn cool. It's going to be hard for me to pick a main for Dragonflight.

Alternatively, and this is controversial, you could wait until Dragonflight to level either a new main or alt. Why? You can try the new talent system while leveling from 10-60 and then continue with Dragon isles.

Retiring my copium for the evening. See you all tomorrow.

I'd be very happy if we got a blog post about visage forms this week!

Not especially but that's because of the ones out so far I don't play any of them besides a hunter alt that mostly gathers dust.

I'm eagerly awaiting mage, monk, and warrior. Then I'll be excited. Hopefully.

Anyone got a number crunch for the probably for alpha tomorrow? I am getting a 32.33 repeating of course percentage of alpha coming out. With me getting alpha coming out to a rounded 0

I'm wondering if fury warrior will have SMF be possibly a decent build

I want to see fire Mage have distinct builds for aoe and st

Monk...chi explosion and Clones are all I can think of
Though with Blizzard giving raid utility to classes I'm thinking brewmaster is going to get the absorbs from statue back

Priest. They're great. Really like Assassination Rogue, too. The other are pretty meh. But Monk/Shaman are my mains, so I'm waiting for them.

Dragonflight releases November 22nd

Great! Another Christmas progress tier...

[Dracullus]

Great! Another Christmas progress tier...

It's just a guess. Latest possible 2022 date if we assume:

1) We will have at least 2 weeks gap between launch and Season 1. But also gap won't be too long and extend beyond 4 weeks, because raids, PVP and now especially M+ are too important to leave it closed during Christmas.
2) 13th December is deadline for Mythic race for obvious reasons.

When we also assume that Blizzard is actually prepared for 2022 release (wild, I know), 15th November is way better prediction. This give them 1 extra week if something fucks up last minute and 22nd is Thanksgiving week, so not really comfortable date (but they use it if pushed as SL proved).

Blizzard launched Vanilla the week of Thanksgiving in 2004. It is as comfortable of a date as any other.
