Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Lady Atia]

I'd guess today. Maybe even PTR too as they came back up with a newer build than Beta is on.

PTR would be great for any addon devs who currently have no beta access, so fingers crossed for that!

I absolutely love cosmic worldbuilding. In other settings. WoW's stab at it is too pretentious and cynical to enjoy.

I like cosmic lore when it consists of 5 adventurers discovering an ancient Titanic artifact in Uldaman.

When Elves dwelling on the slopes of a massive tree worship a mysterious moon goddess.

When stalwart defenders of a kingdom wield the Light to smite their undead foes into dust.

I absolutely loathe cosmic lore when it sends us to meet the robotic progenitors of Death, or has us imprison gargantuan Lord of the Burning Legion inside a space station, or explains to us the physical properties of magic and why it's all really just some kind of artificial battery juice.

..We were always going to have to deal with Sargeras in some fashion, and yes space is relevant in Warcraft, thats been a thing since BC and well Orcs being from another world


Also going into Uldaman isn't cosmic, its very...."down to earth."

I think he means treating it with this level of mundanity. You all mocked me when they derive so many ideas from dungeons & dragons lore, when D&D has this exact same Shadowlands problem: You basically can't set a story in any of their established celestial planes because they're just that boring.

I'm torn about PTR, I really want to test DH talents, but having the most fun ever in M+ thanks to cross faction as an alliance player.

[Padwarle]

Beta realms down, should be a new build soon.

Space has been relevant since Warcraft 2.

Also Uldaman is literally a titanic vault.

Builds are cool, but what about a patch instead?

not mine talk to zee

[Lilithvia]

not mine talk to zee

Zee doesn't know why it's doing it

[Cosmicpreds]

Pretty sure all of the Zereths are gone and forgotten (by the devs) the minute we leave the Shadowlands behind.

Lol you wish

Can we not shit up the thread (or Twitter) with stuff I don't have anything to do with? Thanks.

you mispelled the phrase "fuck up the thread" btw, but will do

Eclipse
Eclipses no longer occur in alternation.
Eclipses no longer reduce casting time.
Lunar Eclipse now increases the damage of your Arcane spells by 15%.
Solar Eclipse now increases the damage of your Nature spells by 15%.

Wouldn't be a new addon without changing eclipses again! This has to be the most changed system ever, right?

[gcsmith]

PTR realms are offline as well.

They've been offline for over a week...

[Marlamin]

Yeah, been down for a week or so, should be up soontm though, there was some activity on them yesterday as well as just now so they're still actively working on getting PTR up, maybe even for today.

[Merryck]
