Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Aeluron Lightsong]

It's not reassuring that druid has not received any update not knowing whether they have already assigned a new dev or not.

You did just believe it as fact without anyone backing the statement up. Like come on dude.

[Rageonit]

For real lol? We are screwed then if that's the case.

Yeah, they will delete your class.

[Darkarath]

So, after yesterday's dissapointment, we are getting DH talents tonight, right? right???

[Highlord Hanibuhl]

I hope we're getting some music/soundtracks and voice-acting for the Dracthyr in next build!

[Feali]

Like, first of all it's a rumour given by the streamer who apparently was notified by someone at Blizz, yet of course peeps are saying it's 100% legit. So did DH dev also leave? Cuz we didn't have DH talents AT ALL. Also, do people think that every class is designed by a single person, and if said person leaves, then all work stops completely?

It's not a rumor she quit. She actually did take a break. I'll try and find her tweet.
What IS a rumor though, is that she worked on druid talents. People are saying it because she designed Convoke but there's nothing else pointing to her being the druid talent dev.

Ok, but beside that, if she took a break then she didn't quit. Hence the rumor.

Dk had a blue post stating that things are about to change and that we should expect a list of . This was published a few weeks before the latest update, that we are to see carried to alpha in a few days, was announced. I don't know what you're talking about, this is just impatience on your part.

Druids do not have the same treatment and it can surely be viewed as risky to some players but I think that seeing the treatment of other classes should be reassuring enough to understand that changes are coming to make ot more inline with what other classes will be able to experiment.

It's not impatient to complain about a class (Hunter) getting a dozen blue posts and talent tree changes while other classes that have their talent trees available for a longer time are completely ignored to this day. I'm not saying that Druids won't get anything, but the lack of communication here is the problem. You cannot have one super devoted (Hunter) dev that's constantly talking about changes when you have a handful of other devs that are completely silent. Either give weekly updates on all classes or nothing, not this chaotic communication regarding class design.

Fair enough.

[Nyel]

Nobody knows. People just keep repeating a poorly substantiated rumour as fact.

It's a rumor, but the complete lack of any communication regarding Druids is just fueling the fire. Blizzard could easily put a halt on this by talking about Druids, but it's just what, 3.5 months now since the tree was revealed and we've heard nothing?

Most likely as it's the only class missing. To not have Demon Hunter talents in the next alpha build (let it be today or another day this week) would be a bit weird.

"We didn't know how to implemented talents for Demon Hunter, so we decided to remove the class. All existing Demon Hunters will be converted into Rogues."

"Oh and also: Demo Locks are getting Meta back"

[Uncia Amethice]

"Oh and also: Demo Locks are getting Meta back"

"Oh, and See Invisibility and Sense Demons, which we also gave to Demon Hunters."

[Darkarath]

"We didn't know how to implemented talents for Demon Hunter, so we decided to remove the class. All existing Demon Hunters will be converted into Rogues."

Madness.

Rogues cannot have tattoos hence they cannot be DH. Plus they are so lame that they cannot double jump.

Talking about double jumping, will they ever give that to other classes? I feel that rogues and monks should have it... Maybe through talents?

After playing DH for a while, with double jump and glide, I am the only one having trouble going back to other classes?

Be a Monk with Engineering. It gets close.

[Reive]

I wonder when they're going to release the equivalent of the afterlives cinematics for dragonflight. Bastion was released in august, so we should be pretty close.

[Wildmoon]

New alpha build coming?

[Raetary]

Month before pre-patch, to promote it.

I guess that they are doing one for each flight. All of them could be interesting but definitively the Bronze Dragonflight has more saucy stuff going on, really looking forward to see how Nozdormu's mind deals with his inevitable outcome.

All of the afterlives were ok, but the Bastion one was miles above the rest IMO (we did not know how bad SL will be back then ), I excpect something similar in DF with the Bronze one being very interesting.

Probably next month, I'd think. Shadowlands was initially going to be released in October, so we'd in theory be a month behind that schedule for marketing pieces if the leaked Nov 28th release date is correct.
