Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Sondrelk]

Its really not.

Its ideal hwo theyve said theyd plan it. Dragonriding, eventually in pathfinder we unlock nornal flying, in the future u can use normal mounts for dragonriding across the game.

Keep dr faster than nornal flying , normal flying allows accuracy but less speed

Really Blizzard should make Dragonriding the baseline, and make old flying even slower to ensure its only a lategame cheatcode rather than taking the place of flight paths and such.

Is Phase 5 gonna start tomorrow?
Will we finally get Monk talents or will they be forgotten again like in SL?

No chance.

Warlock is next up based on the number of data mined talents and probably holy paladin spec as they will try and push that out as quick as they can after leaving it off the paladin tree release.

The dev for rogue and DH was asking a ton of questions to the DH discord last week so I get the feeling that DH is in mid design stage so a few weeks away and monk is probably similar but slightly ahead of that.

Pretending Hogger's model is Meatball (who shares his model) and implying that Hogger won't be changed has got to be my favorite Wowhead clickbait.

Wowhead has so many shitty click bait articles these days. Been checking mmo champ a lot more recently.

My favourite thing of that post is how its worded like Meatball didn't have a generic gnoll model before.

[Feali]

Wowhead click baiting during Alpha/Beta season? Unheard of!

Doesn't Hogger ALSO have a generic gnoll model?

Monk, Demon Hunter, Warlock and Holy Paladin are still missing, so I wouldn't hold my breath for Monk talents just yet. I'd say the chances are 50:50 that they come either today or next Tuesday.

I think datamining has tracked resonably well with next thing to be released. Which means Warlock should be next. Not sure yet about Holy Paladin. I think next week they might have everything up and by the end of August transition to beta from Alpha (i.e. much larger invite waves, less directed testing).

[Mekkle]

I'm betting on holy paladins and warlocks tomorrow

I mean I'd love to get Holy but have we seen anything related to Holy in datamining? Seen lots of Warlock.

[Valysar]

Ohn'Ahran plains today ? Let's hope

[Nymrohd]

Ι wonder if there will be a side story with Tyrande and Merithra in that zone.

[Hugnomo]

I'm curious about the theories people have been making about them planting the new world tree in the dragon isles (ohn'ahran plains). Also, on the lookout for all things Ysera.

[Valysar]

This thing will be encrypted till the release I guess

Growing a new World Tree and not using Nordrassil will never not be a stupid concept. It's right there! The original World Tree! The one blessed by the Dragon Aspects! Seated right in the middle of Night Elven territory! On a freaking mountain with a huge tactical advantage!

A straight, tall tree not suitable for the purpose they were using Teldrassil for?

b-b-but its near the Horde ;_;

I hope to god Teldrassil 2 isn't disconnected from the rest of Azeroth by a loading screen, but XIV does it so I guess it's fine.

Forsaken going exactly where they previously lost makes me think Teldrassil 2 will be exactly where Teldrassil was, but DI is possible.

[Raetary]

On a freaking mountain with a huge tactical advantage!

That doesn't really mean anything.

Teldrassil was a mountain-sized magic tree, so big it could hold a whole city on its branches and contained its own eco-system within its crown, sitting in the middle of the ocean miles away from the nearest coast.
Yet the whole thing was torched in mere moments with a few fireworks.

I think the Ysera quest is bait and her rez fails/its about Merithra and the fans having to accept that she can't come back. The encrypted area is patch bait but because it's so close to the Nelf stuff people are assuming it's a tree instead of just an island that rises up or is hidden.

It definitely could be a new Nelf city ala XIV cities spread around but I doubt it. It raises dangerous precedent (Ghostlands and Azuremyst getting updated but not brought into the new world)

That being said... the Underground "Zone" could just be a mega dungeon, meaning the island could be a lot of different things.

Well it is the Green Dragonflight zone so Ysera's resurrection will happen there.
