Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

9.1 was exactly what I was talking about. 9.1 was on the vendor first week of April, then the ptr was April 13th. Then showing the Lich Anduin trailer 2 months before that doesn't count. They called that the "announcement" trailer but it wasn't really: An announcement actually talks about the features of the patch.

wasn't that at that weird convention and they also talked about the features a bit afterwards?

I think it will be either tomorrow or on Friday, if not, next Monday/Tuesday at the latest!

I still believe in today!

[Hyrja]

8.3 was announced on a monday too around this time.. We'll see!

[Vasoka]

It's the silence before the storm..........

[Valysar]

Or it's the silence before the silence

[micwini]

II believe, any moment now!

[Vasoka]

SUMMON ION. Btw, it's not too late for announcements until like 3-4 hours from now, so don't sweat it. Nothing is following a "schedule" anymore, they're in disarray.

[Makorus]

I mean, there's a difference between expecting them to drop the PTR right now and them announcing the patch.

Them dropping the PTR this week is unlikely, but I feel like a trailer a la 8.3 with the PTR next week makes sense, especially with the vendor build.

*Me waiting for nothing to happen*

[TheFirstOnes]

:/ I’m keeping my hopes lowered

[Foreign Exchange Ztudent]

Nothing happened. Time to cry.

[Vasoka]

You can cry 4 hours from now.

[micwini]

Nothing happened. Time to cry.

I still believe in 21:00 (49 mins from now)!

[Vasoka]

What time was 9.1 announced? Does anyone know?

[TheFirstOnes]

About 3-4? Idk

[Cherry123]

endwalker delay = 9.2 PTR delay

check


See you in two weeks

[Nyel]

If 9.2 is the end of Shadowlands I still would find it very weird if they don’t pre-announce this.

Sure they didn’t do so for 8.3 either, but the Shadowlands announcement just came a few weeks later.

[Valysar]

What time was 9.1 announced? Does anyone know?

It was during the Blizzconline, around 11:00PM I guess

I personally don’t want any allied races at all. But if we got some, please make it make sense. And allied races that are bound by a faction is a horrible idea overall. Make all four available to both factions or don’t implement them at all.

It wouldn't make much sense. Why would the Alliance accept warmongering undead? What would they find in common with addicted vampires? How likely is that for the Kyrians to ally with the Necrolords after what they suffered at their hands? What would the Horde find in common with the Kyrians? Aren't Sylvar screaming "Night elven" in aesthetics?

If they're joining the Horde or Alliance at all, it's going to need a bit of an asspull storywise. WTF in the afterlives cares about some piddling faction war?

It's not about faction war. It's about common standing.

Yep. The usual "pretty races for alliance, edgy races for the horde" gets lame. And it wouldn't make sense, because horde and alliance helped them alike. Then again...nightborn.

So did Legion and BfA races.
It's not about their looks, but their mentalities.

That’s why I said either make them faction agnostic or don’t bring them in. Shadowlands Covenants couldn’t care less about factions… I guess. But knowing Blizzard…

But, they clearly lend themselves more to one faction than the other.

[Vasoka]

Yeah I forgot it was at Blizzcon, doesn't count then. Fuck. So 8.3 is the closest thing for a reference we've got.

[Sondrelk]

Seems like nothing for today. Real shame for everyone, though I guess this gives me a new chance to instead join the hypetrain tomorrow
