Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Marlamin]

Sooo.. PTR is down? Hopefully a build that resembles a pre patch rdy event

They were aiming to have them back up at noon today, either they'll come back in the next few hours or they've had to delay it again.

Beta wave just went out, I got beta didnt have it an hour ago

[Revamp Man]

Still nothing in terms of pre-patch playable content

Well, to play from start actually is about wasting time and money. Why would you pay for 16 months if you just need to pay one month at the end and still see everything?

The last month of an expac is how WoW should be at start. And every following month should be like that. Every month should bring content and gameplay updates.

But that is just too much asked from that poor multi billion company that has hundreds of developers and a larger credit list of a new expac than a star wars movie.

Name one mmo that does that

Also if you started shadowlands in the final few months you missed out on a lot
Ignoring the stuff that gets replaced like end of season rewards

You missed
All the dungeons in m+
The maw
Korthia
All of torghast
Vast majority of campaign content
And millions in passive gold generation

That ignores also shards of domination and all of the raids before the fated syste

[Xentronium]

4.13G update on the PTR.

4.13G update on the PTR.

It's just catching up to Beta, not much to see.

Hey, I got a Beta invite. Time to try out dracthyr visages in-game! No point spoiling the rest of it at this point, lol.

Copied my scribe druid today to find out that Inscription remains the bane of the English language. Please remind Blizzard that the plural of Codex is NOT Codexes . . .

[Raetary]

My torment has ended!

I won a key in a giveaway (go me!) and have logged in to the beta, is there a way I can test things like Dragonriding and evokers without completing quests? I don’t want to ruin it for myself but still want to test features and provide feedback on that. The max level sever won’t let me leave the capital city so can’t do it on that realm.

You could do the bare minimum and still check dragonriding; you get your first mount fairly fast, just ignore every quest that is not marked as part of the campaign until you reach Alex. Still to test dragonriding means to collect the glyphs so you will spoil that part since that will have you exploring the entire isles.

As for evoker, use the max level server and do dungeons?

[DarkAmbient]

Did literally everyone get the beta? I got an invite this morning.

[Nymrohd]

My Dragonriding mounts disappeared again.

[TheramoreIsTheBomb]

Thanks.

Apparently I got invited days ago and didn't even know until I checked my email.

[Nymrohd]

Oh wtf...

How is everyone invited but me???

Blizzard hates me this expac

They are just trying to spare you the spoilers

[Xilurm]

Still haven't gotten one either, don't really care tho, I'm enjoying Wrath until DF comes out.

[Raetary]

Alright, Dragonriding is hands down my favorite feature.

[Shadochi]

Alright, Dragonriding is hands down my favorite feature.

It truly is, and even better its a feature that IMO they nailed in all aspects:

Accessibility - You get it pretty much like an hour into the expansion
Ease of use - First time it might feel awkward but then you quickly get used to it, and the tutorial quests help a lot
Progress - You can further expand it and by the time you reach level 70 you can have all or almost all of the progress done (if you don't just zerg leveling and go to the glyphs while leveling in that zone). The progress is also nice because the unlocks you get are also needed to collect some glyphs.
Alt Friendliness - As soon as you make it to the Dragon Isles, you have your Dragonriding mounts and the glyph points you already collected.
Fun - even after a couple of weeks of beta I still found it fun and tbh don't miss the AFK in air stuff. Zones are also built to support this, and the capital is elevated making it easier to just get anywhere in DI on one fly. Especially if starting at the aspect tower

[Makabreska]

They nerfed Ret even more...

Wtf

Well, they were pretty damn strong during last week raid testing.

[Aeluron Lightsong]

Well, they were pretty damn strong during last week raid testing.

Still pretty big nerfs. Like they could a toned it down a bit.

[Makabreska]

Damage was all we had...

The fuck do I care if we did pretty good in raids damage wise? Fuck yeah!!! That's the only thing keeping us viable...

Nerf that to the ground, we're worse off than in SL...

Did they strip all the great utility in DF they used to have?

- - - Updated - - -

Crazy...

My hype for DF is now low...

All because of Class tuning being dogshit. Yay...

Calm thy teetz.
