Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Xentronium]

it means instead of hitting renown 5 before cap you get renown 2-3

experience seems to have also been nerfed by 40%

Yeah, old quest rep rewards were mostly in the 40-90 range, with the change I'm seeing 100-150 rep.

Seasonal affix is up, seems to have no positive sides (yet):

What a lovely affix for melee.

Possibly effects enemies as well

Being caught in the storm might be the positive one, hard to say. Maybe it damages you AND enemies, and you just need to try and spread at the last moment to avoid compounding stuns.

Hopefully they don't revert the changes that made the seasonal affixes have a significant upside. Easily the best change going into SL that one.

Monster Hunter has... i think 18 weapon types, which all also need extensive testing against all sorts of monsters in different terrains. Meaning you can get into a LOT of different scenarios, to make sure none of them feel useless.

As monster hunter player. There is LOTS of monsters that specific weapons just feel useless against.

Like hammer versus what the fuck his name is the elemental dragon boi, hammer does hrorid elemental damage, which is required to damage him, and he spends the entire fight in the air, so hitting his head is insane.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
They changed the crafted plate legs Why Blizzard

I mean the new effects is pretty decent but I loved the previous one.
Gonna go sulk in a corner.

Love the UI for the Dragonriding talents and vigor looks even better in that sky blue colour.

While we did not get music, I think we got Ambient Sounds. On the Login screen you can hear the ambient sounds from the waterfalls at Tyrhold.
Also crafting orders are finally in though in Placeholder format. Well they don't exactly work but it's progress.

I was wondering... would there be the option to choose different type of voices for the Dracthyr? For example, I prefer the male voice acting for the dragon form, but the female voice for the visage. If we have Chromie as an example, that should be possible, right?

Honestly if they want to go with something as silly as body type1 and 2 instead of feminine and masculine (NOT male and female) they should allow you to choose voice as well.

Been testing the mining nodes for an hour now. They have mining nodes that intentionally spawn under lava! (they are high yield nodes that give rousing fire). But there is a toy that gives lavaswimming so I guess that's what it's for.

Well, we don't know if it's proximity based.

[Nymrohd]

I'd assume that discharge means that you will either be pulsing damage around you or emitting some type of projectile around you. Both would be far more problematic for melee.

That's actually awesome

They certainly have put work in everything profession and world related. People will appreciate it when it is live but there is so much to do.

Glad the Dracthyr voices sound mature enough. Fits them for being so old.

But are they old really? Being in stasis for 20k years doesn't age you.

[Collected]

Anyone else a regular in all previous expansion betas but still waiting this time around? Not salty at all. Nope. Not me.

[Civciv]

So... what do we think of this beauty? https://www.wowhead.com/news/hailsto...-reward-329207

Well, uh... Fits the idea of them being old then, ancient.

Being in stasis isn't any different from travelling through time into the future. They don't age during it.

Sure, Dracthyr are from ancient time, but are they elderly as individuals? No.

Well that's why I said idea in the second post, people would look at a dragon and think "damn, this lizard must be pretty old".
