Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Aeluron Lightsong]

Ye, I member people spazing out, when they saw Maghar AR quest line. Like srsly, is it bad story telling, seeing Yrel w/o Velen guidance being misled and used by the Naaru?

Maybe it is but I find it a very stupid direction to go but it may be already too late to change that anyways so I'm just going with the punches.

[Arkura]

No build today?

[Arafal]

Yeah, the characters are still relevant, but AU Draenor absolutely isn't.

Now this is just pointless semantics.

Really stupid pointless semantics when its very much up in the air whether Draenor - the location- will ever be revisited or not.

Would be odd to say the least...

[Xentronium]

No build today?

There were some NPCs added to Wowhead's database, including the Mechanical Pandaren Dragonling for some reason. Nothing major yet.

Is it though?

The problem people have with WoD was "how confusing" it was, which doesn't matter, because the plot thread that was left hanging deals with a character that does not exist in our universe.

I think a lot of dislike for the Yrel turn comes from people who didn't play the scenario, which apparently is most people if the AR stats are believed. Her "turn" is interesting and she's actually sympathetic to the Orcs, enough for some of them to join her and the Draenei. But if you hear YREL BAD without context you can assume the worst.

Yrel was a favorite because she's a cute girl but in WoD itself she was a bland pair of tits who can paladin... which I guess has some novelty as important female characters were still sparse at that time. I much prefer her to become a more novel character though light antagonism than "friendly quest giver who loves you #2222"

Also a lot of pushback to the Light being a possible antagonist because of fanon ideas of it being Christian faith and God... when it wasn't, especially day one of TBC.

So Max from Liquid is interviewing Ion tommorow at 2 PDT, what do we think the announcement is going to be?

It's going to be a bunch of raid related questions. That's all max cares about.

Are we just gonna ignore the whole "forcing" part?

Ayo??? Is it tho?

[Soisoisoi]

Yup. Max's stream confirmed.

Servers literally just went off.

Actually no
Max tried to get in for interviews early on but blizzard said "oh we didn't think you wanted to talk about anything outside of raid so we didn't give you one"

- - - Updated - - -

So with the dracthyr racial boosting gathering professions I'm thinking of playing one just for it to be my herbalist/miner
I really don't like the class but if the stat isn't easy to come by then it's needed

Slower speeds make faster turning and faster speeds have more physics with the air??? Oooo I kinda like that...

Yeah no that's actually pretty cool. Hoping the turning in slow speed turns are likely completely free and the fast turns are the turns we've seen recently.

Also love that they are addressing the shit with the double jump thing on the Dragon race thing. Shit felt so weird lol
