Got beta recently and played through a bit, finished the Waking Shores and damn. Dragonriding is so goddamm fun.
It also doesn't seem timegated as all the talent glyphs are just out there for me to find in the overworld. Unless there are barriers stopping me from dragonriding to zones before I should I could in theory fully level up dragonriding as soon as I unlock it.
My only pet peeve of sorts is that I like Soar so much better. The animations are smoother and you actually fit dodging between trees etc instead of your dragon's wings having to ignore physics as they clip through branches and cliffsides. It's such a shame Soar isn't affected by dragonriding talents!
SL is already night and day compared to BfA. Back then it was main topic of complaining, same way as currently lore/not familiar world in SL.
But in general classes and balance are two things that you can always criticize and every time someone will agree with you. It will never be perfect and it never is tested against past iterations.
Sometimes, the light of the moon is a key to other spaces. I've found a place where, for a night or two, the streets curve in unfamiliar ways. If I walk here, I might find insight, or I might be touched by madness.
Don't worry buddy you're not crazy and you did read the blue post correctly. They're not working on making any big changes before release and will still update the trees when relevant over the course of the expac. Anyone who's saying otherwise and call this a hot take is mainly doing so to piss you off.
Honestly the story and the lore are not that good imo but so far I haven't seen anything that is harmful to the setting long term; the timeline is just stupid and the plot is far too generic and lacking in charismatic characters. But the place is gorgeous possible the best looking continent so far, most of the specs I've tried play well, the progression systems seem good, rotation will keep me from burning out on the same M+ dungeons. And dragonriding is so much fun, I hope they keep adding courses throughout the expac. Most importantly nothing is just obviously problematic like Azerite or Covenant choice were.

And that's OK but then you try to make it up with villains that are charismatic or have interesting intentions. Writing and voice acting can make an otherwise low impact plot very entertainment and I haven't seen much of it yet. Perhaps Raszageth comes through in the many cinematics missing from beta and she is much more entertaining in the end result though.
Surely this is just the intro though. Whoever shows up in 10.1 is the one we should be looking out for in regards to charismatic villain.
It would be better if Razsageth was more interesting, but this really is just meant to be a boss we leave behind us in only a couple of months. Hardly more than a dungeon boss in the grand scheme.
The world revamp dream will never die!
lmao @ expecting any character in wow to have charisma
lmao @ expecting that wow quality voice acting would improve anything
I thought the three world bosses were the other primals. Guess I might have jumped the gun on that. Not really read much about the actual lore in Dragonflight yet, trying to prevent spoilers.

Clearly you have not seen Denathrius.

Nah, more likely they are trying to be reasonable but ok dude whaetever. Furthermore, its almost Novemeber and if thats the date its not surprising the big focus on class design is ending. It wasn't going to go on forever.
*Facepalm* Yes cause thats the only opinion around here that matters. /sarcasm for the week.lmao @ expecting any character in wow to have charisma

To me Sabellion also was top notch (only done Waking Shore so far), man I did not expect to join #TeamSabellion that quickly but here we are. His VA also delivers the perfect blend of elegance, wisdom but also hint of haughtiness I would expect from an uncorrupted elder black dragon.
Charismatic villains are the exception rather than the norm in WoW. Off the top of my head from the last expansions I can name Denathrius, Azshara, and to a smaller degree Gul'dan was well done in WoD even if largely absent early in Legion. Before that I dunno, Lei Shen was really cool as a concept but underused, Garrosh made for a neat villain but the path there was too badly written for me to appreciate it, Cataclysm and BC had shit villains obviously, and I guess Arthas would be praised here but TBH I think some of it was inertia from the WC3 days. In actual Wrath Arthas isn't as sassy and irreverent as when he was a DK, he's much more of a Saturday morning cartoon villain going "mwahaha I'll get you nexxxxt tiiiime". Yogg is the best villain of that expansion and the best Old God by a mile even if he just lasts barely more than half a zone and one raid.

The internet: where to every action is opposed an unequal overreaction.
I mean, this is literally an elements infused proto drake. It's hard to make a compelling villain from someone with big ass snout and no opposable thumbs. It is not Denathrius, who radiated smugness, charisma and arrogance, we are talking about a boss whose lookalikes are used as mounts since Wotlk. That's why he unfortunately looses from the start as a compelling villain.

A consistent bug I am seeing is poor timing with the audio with voice lines riding on top of each other. Sadly that's a bug I've seen making it to live quite often
