Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Sondrelk]

I really hope we don't get covenant ARs honestly. As much as I might want to play a Kyrian, I really don't think the effort is worth it when there are so many other ARs I would love far more. Like actually getting an Ankoan AR. Or better yet, using the time saved on more heritage armors for old races.

Steve Danuser just posted the following quote along with the symbols from WoW's original tweet:

"So much awaits discovery in the geometry. So many truths lie in the intersections. The fractals."

Googling this quote led me to this:

Pretty much confirms Zereth Mortis, First Ones and the Sepulcher?

Yeah. No shock there imo

[Foreign Exchange Ztudent]

Same, that's one of the chief reasons I'm really excited for this. Just the little bit we get from the portal, the Guardian, and these symbols, has me more excited than I've been all expansion.

I just hope it doesn't look like something out of Louis XIV's castles. I hope they use the color pallette well and it doesn't come off as too gaudy.

Then again, maybe they won't utilize gold and glitter too much.

How about we remove datamining so people can actually discover stuff in game and have Blizzard test their stuff and not rely on people they don't pay to find bugs?

If players want to do that they can just ignore wowhead & mmo-champion. It's pretty easy & wouldn't f-over the content creator community

Oh no, imagine a world where content creators have to actually create content instead of just reporting and reacting to the latest information.

Had to google to remind myself.

On the one hand, would be pretty cool. On the other, that is...a bit overdone.

You don't think news is content. Interesting.

Reading wowhead and mmo-c articles out loud sure as shit isn't creating content.

Let's be honest here, they never just read, they also give opinions. They provide commentary. Plus presenting a wall of text in a condensed and vocal manner has it's merits.

I'm not against this, but don't see that happening anytime soon unless Blizzard starts cracking down real hard.

[Black Rider]

Ethereals have something to do with Shadowlands?

Ummmm, throwing them there would be super weird, because Brokers are literally Ethereals 2.0.

[Hitei]

So, Runeforging new feature?

Not sure they'd add a new gear systems feature. Feels more like 9.2 is likely to step back from them. Everyone jumped on the 12 = 12 classes train, but there's also 12 races per faction.

I think it's pretty obvious by now that the 12 symbols have NOTHING WHATSOEVER TO DO with twelve classes in the game, or 12 races.

They're runes. There's something about runes coming in 9.2. Danuser even mentions this in his tweet. It's something to do with runes and the covenants, almost certainly. Not the number, but their very existence. Covenants, runes, the Jailer, etc.

12 boss raid confirmed.

[LordKharon]

I mean FFXIV can release whole expansions without public testing (and datamining) and they are no worse for bugs/tuning then WoW expansions. It would cost a lot of money (and so ActiBlizz will never do it) but it is possible. They should at least try a little with patches...

I mean, where the promised return of tier sets @?

[Kiivar86]

Ethereals have something to do with Shadowlands?

I've been expecting some sort of connection between them and the Brokers, to be honest.

I'm not against this, but don't see that happening anytime soon unless Blizzard starts cracking down real hard.

Even then it'd just go underground again.

I remember Blizzard playing whack-a-mole with dataminers for TBC and WotLK. Was kind of amusing. "Oh, this site got hit with a C&D. Ah there's the new site. And its gone...and there is its replacement" etc.

Always possible. But might as well speculate on them a bit while we have the opportunity. It seems unlikely they were chosen and put in a video lined up like this if all they wanted to do was tease runes. That's a lot of effort for what could have just been a picture post.

I think its less money and more their philosophy on them. That and it gets them advertising and well who wouldn't want free advertising.
