Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Marlamin]

They should be, next build has (most of) them hooked up as zone music so unless the files are missing (which I doubt considering they released the full login music now) it should be fully implemented.

Whelp, looks like all the music is indeed hooked up, but still missing? Unusual move, wonder if they're intentionally keeping it out until the release candidate build (which should be next week).

Yeah maybe they want to keep the surprise until release !

Oh that's sick. Always hyped to see what the Blizz cinematic team can cook up. Even today's Hearthstone's expansion trailer was cool as hell, no pun intended.

Are they not going to test the events at all? They tried once and pulled it (and good that they pulled it, I almost lost my lunch to that bug) but I don't think they tried to test it since.

No need to test anything, just deploy on live! What could possibly go wrong?

I guess I'll play it on an empty stomach next time?

Why is that ? What happened ?

[Nymrohd]

They had this weird effect that made the entire screen glow light blue and as you moved your camera you would abruptly move between that effect, a heavy weather effect and the normal screen. It was so abrupt it gave me nausea.

[Berkilak]

Huge improvement! I thought it was too late for them to change it but they finally did it!

Yep. Needed to see at least one dragon in flight.

[Auxis]

Noice.
Guess the missing piece of the puzzle that Nozdormu wants is related to the Dracthyr then, and whatever they realized when they fought the Primalists or whoever. My guess will be that Nozdormu will learn that they were all experiments of the Titans, as shown by the Halls of Infusion.
I would also guess that we will learn that Neltharion didnt fall entirely because of the Old Gods, but rather because he too learned about what the Titans had done to them.

This cinematic definitely feels a step above the last one in terms of impact, have to say. Though all I can think is how much I want a HD revamp of the Warrior set from Dragon Soul. The old one obviously being based on Deathwing, and a new one hopefully being based on his uncorrupted version.

I would do some dark shit to get Neltharion's armor set as a new tier for Warriors. It's gorgeous.

Dark shit like grinding Dragon Soul?

[Sondrelk]

Dark shit if it's obtainable as a new HD armor set, not just the kinda low ress one from Dragon Soul.

Speaking of armor sets. I find it interesting that Users in this cinematic has a completely separate armor appearance from what she has used before. Feel like it looks more like what Merithra looked like in her questline in BfA.

Grind Dragon Soul for a new set? Sure.



1:11 - 1:30 is an "uncorrupted" version of the DS tier set.

It's similar same to her look on the loading screen. Ysera just needed and update to her visage form, the old one was way outdated (and bad)

So you will be able to unlock the special particle effects of the Mythic/Elite set for all the other sets if you get Cutting Edge/Keystone Hero/Elite.

Amazing change. I really loved the purple gladiator set for most classes, and being able to get the effect for it is great.

Still though. I agree it needed an update given it was basically a copy of Alexstrasza, but the version we see is such a stark departure from what we used to have.

Guess we will see in 10.1 or whatever whether we get a new Ysera or Merithra model.

Ohh, that's a fantastic change. Hopefully it becomes at least a low drop chance for when the season is over, if not just a plain drop from the final boss.

Actually, ignore the cutting edge remark, it just requires the Mythic Achievement, so you will probably be able to get it post-10.0. It's also not a FoS, but just a normal "Collection" achievement.

Even better.
Obviously won't be relevant for me at least until the last patch of Dragonflight,but still a neat change for future transmog hunting.
Would be great if they added it to SL raids as well.
Would have loved it for BfA and Legion, but that might be a bit too ambitious given the clear differences between the regular and Mythic variants in those expansions.

I mean, Shadowlands has unused effects for all the difficulties, so it definitely could be something they can do. They probably wont though.
