Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[rainhard]

This feels like the biggest .5 patch since they first started them in legion

[therumblings]

I'm hoping they eventually expand timewalking into an actual thing instead of just a random week of queueing for old dungeons. We need M+ for all dungeons at some point.

[Yarathir]

The fact that they haven't announced basic things we can be 95% sure is coming, like furthering the SL campaign with more quests, tells me this announcement isn't for the new stuff so much as the "please we're sorry" stuff.

Not so sure if there'll be major campaign additions, tbh, personally.

[Nagawithlegs]

I don’t think there will be a major campaign addition but maybe a questline (s) for the Oribos thing and Sylvanas talking about Zererth Mortis.

Also expecting heritage armor quests that may or may not have PLOT in it.

[Dracullus]

Considering how stubborn Blizzard is and how much faith I have lost in them, I see this as a massive win. 9.1.5 isn't a content patch so in terms of .5 patches this is looking to be pretty good. I am most interested in how legion timewalking m+ will work.

Never understood puting faith in some company as consumer. Only people voting with wallet cause fast changes. This is business.

[Edward Wu]

I've seen half a dozen times now in a few discords and other venues today that the "twist" for Legion Timewalking is that they are bringing back Mage Tower in some way.

Not sure how people would feel about that. I assume they'd let you once again earn the skins with an appropriate difficulty?

[Yarathir]

Also, on a side note..

Heritage armor?

I think there's a time for faith in people and then there are people who take it way too far. I don't think this is one of those moments.

I think it would be cool. Having things be obtainable if they work for it is better than locking them in a vault until the end of time.

[Nightmare Queen]

Alright, fine, fine. I'll elaborate.

Listen. This is it right here. You ready?

Romanceable lore characters. BOOM.

Let me Romance Bwonsamdi and got a deeeal

This is reasonable. I just mean in terms of everything going on at Blizzard, and over the past few years, to see them make these changes is refreshing and a good thing, even if it's a very very small victory.

It's fairly standard for them, though.

I agree. One of the things I've always wanted is a way to earn old Elite PvP transmogs again. Like, they required 2000 rating before, have them require 2400 rating now just to be fair. And only one transmog set per character per season.

[Nightmare Queen]

You know what we need now?

A Shadowlands Flight Master Whistle

[Raetary]

Would be nice if they could add a few floating rocks in Korthia so we can jump over to the vault.

This. I seriously have no idea why that was removed.

They added a grapple hook to that area a few weeks ago

I agree. Just add a system where you get a certain rating and that gives you a token (a la Vicious Saddle) to buy a current or past elite set, and you can only get one per season.

We need thing that would be obsolete for 2 months now?

They should just make it a spell or toy and make it usable in all zones.

[Slowpoke is a Gamer]

Is it time to discuss the idea of removing FPs entirely and just going with a teleport system?
