Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Lahis]

there are not

Kinda ironic. Even BFA had those.

[Hyrja]

Wtf they removed the rare silver dragon from the enemy unitframes?? DF looking worse and worse each build.

[MightyWarrior]

I hope they add them back

[Aeluron Lightsong]

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.

It's not lame. Its not another silly portal though. It looks beautiful.

[MightyWarrior]

I hope someone works on a silver dragon customization addon )

[rainhard]

just me or is the sun extra hd in the old world?

[MightyWarrior]

PTR lighting seems different in SW, much better, is it just me or?

Pretty sure they swapped the sun in capitals to one same as in dragonflight and idk where else? Entering/exiting SW made it more obv.

[Makabreska]

Sounds familiar

perfect expansion with a few scratches is still almost perfect

[Nymrohd]

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

At least for a couple more weeks lol

Well there are always some massive waves near the end so who knows.

Could be a lighting change instead?

Honestly cannot say I am loving the UI changes. They feel half done. I do wonder if addon makers will give us more options and integrate them in the Blizzard UI options instead of addon menus.

This cost us a raid tier....

[Nymrohd]

IT WORKS EVERY SINGLE TIME

I knew I just had to whine about not getting beta New wave is out apparently
Now if only my whining about the Thundering Onyx Cloud Serpent could finally work after all these years.

I mean I get that it is silly but I consider the silver dragon frame iconic and I will miss it (or find an addon to get it back).

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

They'll surely be added. The scene looks too still at the moment. I suppose the difficulty is adding them without it becoming a boring loop.

The talent UI has some neat class specific animation when changing talents.

Dragonflight will have the biggest exodus of mage players historically in the game. Since vanilla, I have never seen the class being so incredibly neglected, while having one of the biggest communities with some of the most knowledgeable players still active, yet completely ignoring their feedback. No idea how the Mage dev who thinks Shadowlands is the best iteration of Mage is still allowed to work on the class.

And it looks we really are in the old cycle - months ago everyone was saying "they just released the mage trees, there will be plenty changes and nothing is set in stone". Well, it we are soon at release candidate version and they havent made even a single change based on literal hundreds of pages of feedback on Mage.

Does it matter if it's boring when it loops? Who stays on that screen long these days?

True true. And the wrath loop didn't ever get boring really. Good point.

Um, they did update the trees in response to player feedback, and it made folks happy from what I can gather. Youtubers like Xaryu were crying their eyes out prior to the changes, now they look more or less satisfied by the results.
