Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Darkarath]

The whole point of Ardenweald is rebirth, it establishes that there's an afterlife for creatures that protect and embody nature and their whole purpose is to nurture back these spirits for reincarnation, which explains why we've seen dead wild gods come back so many times in the past.

Thought that they get healed in the Emerald Dream... But I do not know, I just recently came back to WoW and for the first time I am not reading any quest, as Shadowlands is, lore wise, the biggest piece of shit ever created, that managed to fuck up all previous lore.

Anyway, is good to be back. Combat saves the game and I enjoy collecting stuff, plus I finished my covenant campaign, the Maw and ZM pretty quickly, being renown 80 without realising It.

But when I think about all these fucking systems and thousands of currencies... It feels good to have skipped Shadowlands until now, what a big surprise that everyone jumped ship, because playing DURING the expansion must have been a fucking nightmare.

And do not get me started on WQs. I actually enjoyed them in BfA. I knew that It was shitty content, but they were quick and easy. SL WQs seems to be created to waste our time as much as possible.

But I have hope for Dragonflight. Coming back to talent trees and hopefully do not create any other shitty progression system in 10.0 or in its patches could be the most important decision they ever make. If its for something instanced like Torghast or ZM its fine, even cool, but that's it.

Or maybe this is a random spell pulled from the files with no context. Once again, Alpha gonna Alpha, so hold your horses before throwing stones.

You're generally right but the Winter Queen outright says that Ysera is bound to the realm after she helps her.

"You are reborn in Ardenweald, Child of Dreams. To this realm are you bound, and you will share its fate."

That's true, and it does feel a little erratic for them to not stick to that. But it isn't that farfetched. They also did write her saying that she'd see Azeroth once more if Elune wills it, just that it would require some sacrifice.

SIgh people need to stop exaggerating

[Sweetdeal]

Meh I hope, they throw a new wave of F&F invites.

[Hitei]

Providing the choice makes the game better.

Not necessarily.

[Raetary]

The whole point of Ardenweald is rebirth

Yes, but Yseras whole story was that her rebirth process was interrupted so the WQ had to bind her Soul in order to save her.

[Hitei]

When it comes to a class I think its very important to provide options, especially if its locked to a single race, offering a few options will make the class more playable, by making the visage form a choice.

At the expense of eroding away at a cohesive and distinct class identity, sure.

No thanks I'd rather have something else

[Lahis]

Like, wtf is even the point of killing off lore characters anymore?


I don't dislike Ysera, and I'm aware of how little consequence the aspect of death in the Warcraft universe already was, but I just don't get the point of killing off a character (in an emotionally impactful fashion at that) to just bring them back.

Even more hilarious is that before Shadowlands it was kinda certain that she would come back. She is the Aspect of the Emerald Dream, and powerful beings tied to the Dream have been reborn before.

Then Shadowlands happen, and she is tied to Ardenweald, never to be reborn into the mortal plane again, making the whole Ardenweald questline really impactful.

And then they 180 that decision in the expansion after it and rebirth her anyways.

Christ in Hell, Blizz doesn't write stories, they coinflip stories.

[MightyWarrior]

Doubling down on auto attacks for fury warriors, that's worrying because im always pressing an ability

[Fiercelord]

Someone without alpha that gets it today, please confirm here

[MightyWarrior]

It appears that my entire toolkit is in the talent tree, interesting

Yes that's how these new talents work. You only learn some buffs and non-combat spells like teleports outside of talents.
