Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Arafal]

My torment has ended!

[Avikur]

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?

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

[Cosmicpreds]

I didn't

Fucking pain...

[Nymrohd]

My Dragonriding mounts disappeared again.

[TheramoreIsTheBomb]

Thanks.

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

[Cosmicpreds]

Oh wtf...

How is everyone invited but me???

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.

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

[Cosmicpreds]

They nerfed Ret even more...

Wtf

Why???

[Makabreska]

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

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...

[Aeluron Lightsong]

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

[Cosmicpreds]

Crazy...

My hype for DF is now low...

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

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

They brought it in line
Just like WW
Which is all fine because ret is still better than WW and we are always smack dab in the middle

I'm willing to eat my crow, I'm enjoying it as well, far more than I expected.

Still like regular flying just fine but this is fun.
