Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Nymrohd]

Crossed fingers that if we get a launch close to December, that we get a longer wait until the raid opens. Might be a bit annoying to have to wait, but as we saw with Legion, the willingness to delay the launch of the raids from the patch launch pays dividens in spades when it comes to pacing.

While I actually love them having a delay so people can level at their own pace and we can have some time to learn the damn dungeons before M+ starts, I don't see it happening. Probably raid and M+ will open the very next week.

Nokhud Offensive dungeon allows you to Dragonride:

The dungeon is the whole zone.
That's quite interesting.

[Nymrohd]

Well I guess now we know DH is next. So it all rests on whether this phase will only last a week or takes a bit longer since they are testing endgame progression with major factions.

wouldnt endgame be beta stuff?

[Lahis]

Oh no, a dungeon that uses Dragonriding.

I can already see the whining.

I was hoping it would happen, that will be so much fun with friends or reasonable people (yes, most PuGs are reasonable people, the toxic people just stand so much more boldly in our minds).

Now hoping for a giant world boss where we use Dragon riding.

I'd assume so but we are in alpha and these are endgame systems are they not?

[Manu9]

From feedback I heard that Enh is in a pretty good spot right now, is that not true?

Generally yes, but there are things there that don't make sense, IE placement of some abilities.
And I guess tbh (and that's a personal thing) I was expecting more of a change or some old abilities back, all they did is they put the legendaries into talents.

Seeing other classes getting some old loved abilities back is making me jealous

It is a literal flat plains and you use DR to quickly move around. But ye, some will defo whine. I am however confident that Blizz is slowly testing the waters and will implement DR in certain dungeon/raid boss fights in the future.

[Nyel]

Well I'm now let down with Monks

Yep, I'm disappointed too. Really boring talent trees. I wish they would have made bolder choices.

Why do you say that? Most people so far seem to love it.

I mean it's basically 100% Monk right now, I can't see anyone being hyped about the talent trees.

His suffering only begun, soon the questions about when he'll bring a nice orc girl home will start.

That's when his parents will discover his collection of steamy romances and his taste is not limited to the female genre

I think that Blood Elf Mage was more than a friend..

At which point his mother will ofc blame his father's exposure to fel for everything and drag her son to a shaman

That is definitely going to happen, no doubt.

is this how the first orcs will be introduced to the priesthood?

[Nymrohd]

I can see them adding it on an early or mid-tier raid boss; perhaps one that is optional.

Honestly outside the joke, I think Orc Shadowmoon Necrolytes are closer to shadow priests than anything else.

And I do wonder if the Mag'har might have a few holy priests and paladins who learned the ways of the Light but still sided with the orcs in the war. Probably not given how Geyarah reacts but it could explain the inevitable orc paladins given we've been told they will slowly implement all races all classes.

Me too. Fistweaver looks quite alright but everything else needs a lot of work. Like why would they put the statues in the general tree? When do i need jade statue as a windwalker or an aoe taunt? Soothing mist+ statue may be a niche option for brewmaster but i don't see it being a thing so why bother.
Also i never understood the appeal of strike of windlord and why they chose this talent as "old playstyle" to return.

An AoE taunt distraction is an amazing utility tbh.
