Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[rainhard]

Can anyone do a big mrgm interview tldr cuz wowhead loves releasing it in small waves to get post clicks?

[Revamp Man]

I have entered so many competitions this time and it seems I might break my streak and miss this beta

Normally I've been flagged already but it seems I'm missing it too

At least for a couple more weeks lol

[fear]

Does the PTR and Beta do same day builds? Or nah?

Sometimes yes sometimes no

[Kneckt95]

Beta Realms going down right now.

[Marcellus1986]

Koranos/Tyrhold just disappeared. Guess build today for both.

[Revamp Man]

This means keep an eye on your launchers folks

[Alanar]

Idk what prompted that unnecessary passive aggression, but screw you too i guess.

This whole game revolves around replayability and repetition, having more maps for a given bg style would give bgs a lot more replay-value than having just a handful or less for each style.
Another Sivershard Mines-esque bg set in a different map, with a different layout and look would make for quite refreshing experience instead of being stuck to that one single map for an eternity.

Nah, you just took it the wrong way I guess.

I just cant say another flag or ab excite me much, a new layout will be good, but will end up feeling the same, with a differnt skin. I dont think its enough.

Also give better repre seasons in bgs, ab in snow was fun, av in summer? Etc etc. They need spice.. battlegrounds are a little.. forgotten it feels like.

[Shadochi]

Well shit...

Hoping the login screen comes in soon lol

Didn't it already? I remember seeing it on wowhead weeks back
Basically the aquaducts and scenery

It's not active yet, they've been updating it every build or so too.

[Marlamin]

They have?

Yep. Might not be very visible changes, though.

Also, the PTR build just hit and it has the login screen, it appears. Good job, thread, we summoned it.

Yep, its there!

I still don't like that login screen honestly. Really don't get why they seemingly abandoned the perfectly fitting visual theme of portal or archway. This one is just all kinds of weird in terms of balancing visual elements.
I suppose it is the most minor of nitpicks given the average player probably only sees it maybe one or two seconds each day, but still.

[Sondrelk]

The credits are in also it appears.

Couple steps closer to a perfect vibe.

- - - Updated - - -

Shadowlands music is still there though

Would be lovely to get the music as well, but I guess we will have to be patient for that.

[Sondrelk]

Because there are too many portals and I think showing up Valdrakken and Tyrhold is a good way to giving us a feel for the isles entire.

It's a nice picture indeed, I just don't get why they seem to have abandoned the theme they have only really broken once before with WotLK.

Honestly though, it's not even a minor nitpick, if you ask me:

The FIRST THING I ever saw of World of Warcraft was the TBC login screen, and hearing that iconic music at the same time. That alone made me go "wtf this is badass, what game is this?"
14/15 years and thousands of dollars later, I'm still here.

Blizz should aim for that kind of draw with their login screens every time. DF's is by far the most lame one I'd say. Even BFA, which I felt was meh, has more gravitas then this bland landscape DF shows.

Personally I found the Legion login screen to be the weakest one, what with the two Fel Lords standing there like they were having a smoke outside a 7-11.

[Valysar]

Let's hope there are some flying dragons on the login screen
