Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Makabreska]

If only Blizz would go back to the MoP days of grinding dailies for bonus rolls and pre-raid gear. Would really spicen up the two weeks you get to game it before the raid opens.

You mean the dailies that everyone complained were too damn many? I REALLY doubt that bringing back this old and tired system in force would spice up anything.

I mean yeah but the excuse of "I'm forced to do x" is just exhausting, like some people need to learn self control.(Not pointing at you)

I know. But the playerbase seems confident MoP had no flaws and was perfect, so clearly the daily system that literally required you to grind dailies until you unlocked ANOTHER set of dailies could only be a good thing, clearly.

I mean if it is not tied to power but it's just a world progression system, why not. The more content the better. You have about two years to do it.

Idm as long as FOMO isn't a thing. No one likes FOMO.

Sure but reputation factions very rarely are removed (only ones I can remember are the vanilla ones for ZG and Wrathion from MoP).

Oh the grind was awful but the story unlocks were great

Take MoP but with things like emissaries and m+ and you get a very very good expansion

[Aeluron Lightsong]

I don't think FOMO applies here unless those specific dailies are removed later on/ rewards the dailies offer are removed later. Then I can understand.

[Dracullus]

We still have more than 2 months before S1 start for M+ testing (and I think they could gather more people to test M+ between pre-patch and expac launch than now), but I hope we start pre-patch event soon. I'm starting to think it will be barebones like Shadowlands one sadly.

Relax.. Its reputation. You have alot of time to build it up

He's not sharpest tool in the shed, most people here learned that there is no point arguing with that guy xD.

They weren't so confident when it was current content.

prepatch build was supposed to hit a couple hours ago but i guess they are a tad behind

The most effective way to play

Is meaningless. It's inherently wasting time, and efficiency isn't particularly useful to that.

[huth]

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?

Because you actually can't. Doing the content at the start of the expansion is a qualitatively different experience.

And no, rushing through everything at the end is not how WoW should be at the start. It's a markedly worse experience. Your demands are completely absurd, no matter the size of the studio. Maybe you should stop treating games as a chore to finish as quickly as possible.

[Arkura]

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.

[doodle90]

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

[Forum Man]

Still nothing in terms of pre-patch playable content

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.

[Padwarle]

4.13G update on the PTR.

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

[Worldshaper]

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 . . .
