Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[rhorle]

If it is the case only 5 classes are available that’s pretty poor. I know they will want focused testing so less options would be better for them BUT they should at least reveal the talent trees for the others so feedback can start early even if they’re not playable. It feels like artifact weapon testing all over again where some got months of testing and others felt like a matter of a few weeks!

It is alpha and early testing. Also if you've been paying attention to blue trackers you would see that even announced ones, like Hunters, is under going several changes. So any feedback is limited since things will change.

Absolutely nothing to do with entitlement

You are bashing testing/expansion before it has even officially started. I think entitlement fits.

Exactly my point - they revealed some talent trees and were able to gather feedback and have now discussed and planned changes based on that, even without the class being playable - they should do this for all classes and focus the testing on the alpha on a few classes at a time, that way they get feedback on how certain classes play while also in the background getting feedback from a wider audience (not in the alpha) on any issues that can be seen (such as with the hunter tree and only one route to explosive shot).

I’m not bashing the expansion, I expressed concern that they won’t allow much time for all classes to be tested fully, we’ve seen this before with artifact weapons. Again, it is nothing to do with entitlement ‘the fact of having a right to something’ - at what point did I state or act like I had the right to test all classes? I won’t even be in the alpha and probably not the beta. I simply pointed out it is in my opinion a mistake to not release the remaining talent trees to start to gather feedback.

Remember the red flamebird model?

It's for the Drakonid pet.

Lmao this is Epsilon WoW. We do a little trolling

Sometimes I wonder if I should quit on waiting for a WoW Revamp and just got to Epsilon . . .

Tonight, I’ll be having a greasy chicken sandwich, on rye bread.

Is that wise? Your poor F5 deservers better than greasy fingers.

Good morning =)


Is it still encrypted?

The bread is almost buttered, brace yourself!

God bless the one employee stuck working at 12 AM, eh?

I guess launching today means someone has to do overtime.

Supposedly a lot of them work remotely, so it might just be a case of someone hopping out of bed and pushing a few buttons. Or someone who stays up that late anyway.

Yeah. Would think that too.

Pushing a build onto a server isn't really ... hard to do.

Hey I often log in at work late at night before server back up time because that's when everything is still and I get the best speeds for my data queries

[Xilurm]

Or it could be someone is doing a night shift just for this. I reckon that would be a much better solution than asking someone to stay overnight.

True. I've no idea if it is common though for Blizzard to upload builds at this time.

Blizz has been back in the office since earlier this year.

Emm, Blizzard is still quite a large company, I think they are able to handle nightshifts pretty seamlessly - at least that's what we can do at my IRL team consisted of 6 ppl

Just feels weird for it to even be needed unless something went off schedule though.

Yeah, could be, after all the build is not being modified in minutes before pushing it to the server I guess, right? So if they had it ready for sometime waiting to be deployed, then yup, that seems to be needless. But who knows

In regards to the late wowdev build, I guess they wanted to get some fixes in that popped up in the last few days, having done that last night can mean the unencrypted build will hit pretty early (though that might also be my wishful thinking).

I mean this is pretty much THE idle speculation thread of the forum

Do we know anything about Blizzard's policy with crunch?
