Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Sondrelk]

Jade with Scaling is not going to be fun and Court of Stars was and is still a fucking annoying dungeon by its design. That's all.

Doesn't help the gimmick feature expansion dungeon is in the first pool which is also extremely annoying.

Court just requires players to remember to click the buffs, and learn basic pattern recognition for the minigame. Except for the large amount of abilities you need to silence on some trash it's hardly nå exceptionally difficult dungeon.

Honestly I think it's better the gimmick dungeon shows up early, better odds it will be gone from the rest of the expansion if its truly the worst thing ever.
Besides, it's just a gimmick how you move around. And with the follow mechanic all you need is one player who knows how to fly decently well and it's hardly any issue.

I also love CoS!

Temple is awesome if you can still pull all the trash into the bosses, although I guess scaling will say no haha.

Lots of potential on the fish boss, since it takes a while before the actual boss comes

Do remember that we get another four in the following season.

Yeah, there's at least two more dungeon pools for Dragonflight after the launch one.

I see the PTR is down. New build with pre patch event maybe?

PTR patch notes mention Evoker in the class changes
How much you want to bet they’re not going to be on PTR and people will complain about it.

[Jastall]

I like court.

But temple is the most boring dungeon in the history of dungeons.
Should've picked one of the scarlets or Mogu'shan Palace.

Agreed, Mists dungeons in general weren't the best but Temple was a particularly boring one. Shado-Pan I liked as lot but in M+ format it would likely take too long. Stormstout Brewery would have been my choice, albeit Mogu'shan was also decent.

[Nymrohd]

Do we know that they'll just use the dungeons as they are with no changes to trash or boss mechanics? Pre WoD dungeons in particular did not even have Mythic versions.

Brewery was just good fun and had interesting mechanics. Never understood why they chose to have us clear the dungeon in a scenario and then also have it as a proper dungeon with slightly different bosses.

MoP had Challenge Mode that was the same time trial shit as M+.

Yes but Mythic + uses the base Mythic for mechanics and Mythic mode has additional mechanics to heroic; challenge mode did not. They absolutely could add an additional mechanic to each boss and to a few trash mobs.

Nope, just checked, not testable on the new PTR build

They might never be testable on the ptr tbh. We can hope, but I dont think it will be. I cant remember if DH was enabled on the ptr eventually though so I might be wrong.

They really don't need to be. Like every other class added in an expac before it, it has been testable since the earliest alpha built and because of the novelty a very large number of beta testers have been playing the class. They are getting their feedback. If the class is a bit broken for a few weeks before DF goes live they might make some fixes then but that's it.

The last two Season 1 Dungeons are Shadowmoon Burial Grounds and Halls of Valor.

Happy about SBG, even if it has some tough sections, but Halls of Valor is such a snorefest.

SBG was good enough to be a raid, the entire Shadowmoon clan art asset base was brilliant.

Never really enjoyed SBG, such a mechanically uninteresting dungeon.
Would definitely have preferred Everbloom and Vault of the Wardens. Though i guess both are considered excessively difficult with the affixes.

[Dracullus]

And still many people thinks there are only 4 new dungeons. I know there are totally uninformed people that are surprised patch is coming next day, but we are talking about ones that are invested enough to follow and comment on wowhead articles.

People were refusing to accept that there were actually 8 dungeons at launch, with half being used in M+ S1, even when you linked them directly to the interview were they stated it.

I just wish WoD dungeons had proper loot tables.

I still don't know if ID or GRD have any good loot in them.

I think they absolutely will need to change the loot tables for the old dungeons. I get not doing it fully for the Fated season because it was entirely an experiment but it should be done for this.
