Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

They did not even notice everyone was getting thrown into the maw until a while after we showed up. In fact the person who tried to tell them was Devos & she got shot down. That firmed up the idea that the covenant leaders really are incompetent.

And very set in their ways, except for the Primus, who pretty much has thinking outside the box as his job. Which is probably why he was also the only one that got taken out before we even arrived.

[GR8GODZILLAGOD]

Maybe, but why risk it? And as we've seen in the raid, being trapped in the Maw was utterly irrelevant.

Also, they didn't even find out about it being broken until after the starvation set in.

Why risk it when there's zero reason to think it would happen? "Let's make a new Arbiter. BUT WHAT IF THE JAILER POPS OUTTA NOWHERE AND TAKES THE CORE!?"
The people in Oribos saw the Arbiter was broken immediately when it happened. So they were well aware. "Shit, the Arbiter broke! Contact the Pantheons!"

[Lorgar Aurelian]

Where did i say "only"? Stop imaging stuff

So you admit people are data mining spoilers for league then and that your statement that they don’t is bunk?

[draugril]

I don't see how WoW for consoles would even work, honestly. It does for FFXIV, but that is a far slower game that places a lot less focus on the actual combat.

Slower, but not by much (at least once you get out of the absolute trash slog that is the beginner experience).

I know a few people who use controllers to play WoW using the same setup of shoulder-modifiers. They do so extremely well. I would even argue that WoW is more console friendly because, although you may need to push the buttons quicker, there are far fewer buttons that are actually relevant to your rotation.

I am genuinely terrified that we're heading for Seasonal content only. I just hope that this is just fake.

I can't imagine they would. Expansions still print money. Say what you will about Blizzard, but they're not going to chop the head off of the golden goose.

Just because you didn't explicitly say it doesn't mean your post didn't clearly imply it.

Have you listened to those guys? They won't even take a pee break if the Purpose doesn't tell them too.

[GR8GODZILLAGOD]

Seemed perfectly capable of making their own decisions when we showed up, otherwise nothing would have gotten done when we first arrived in Oribos.

[Lorgar Aurelian]

I also never said people dont datamine in other games.

Again, either respond to what you read or go chase that boogeyman in your head that you build up. No longer responding to you and your inability to read

So this isn’t your post then?

?
Do you even know how PTR in league works?
They announce the champion and put it on the PTR. You dont datamine there some insane spoilers 3 months ahead. In what world is this the same as wows ptr?

Because unless there’s another one of you I’m responding to your exact words.

To be honest, that is the one (!) thing we have an explanation for. The Arbiter is practically their deity and reason of existence, the caretakers are just barely sentient machines that only have the purpos of defending it and cleaning up around it. They are clearly not aware that it's just a soul-roomba and that has been made clear through their interactions with us, it's also why the brokers can outwitt them easily and practically occupy most of oribos.

[draugril]

WoW being slower or faster has nothing to do with how it cant come to console with crossplay. Its just alot of things that most of the playerbase use and the game is build around are pc only.

I mean, obviously. The game is only available on PC, so it goes without saying that they have a PC-centered playerbase.

I, for one, would welcome a console port. I've never play it myself, but it might force the UI and encounter teams to design encounters without the assumption that you have the step-by-step instructions being automated and screamed in your each by a few dozen addons and scripts.

I think one of the Brokers even jokes about it. Just tell them it's for "the Purpose" and you can get them to do just about anything.

League doesn't have spoilers. It doesn't have a story: At least not, in that game.

[Luck4]

It makes sense from a certain point of view. I mean, if blizzard wanna charge for every patch released they're gonna need to change their monetization structure. But I find it hard to believe that they're not going to make expansions again. The only way this can work is if Blizzard adds a new zone with +2 extra levels at some point, otherwise, the numbers will become bonkers after 4-5 Seasons.

But I hope this leak is not true, because this could very well be a make-up to cover a glorified "maintenance mode".

[Lorgar Aurelian]

So you think the words " You dont datamine there some insane spoilers 3 months ahead. In what world is this the same as wows ptr?" are the same as "they dont datamine things in other games or "the PTR cycles in other games are the same as wow where they have the entire boss roaster before things even hit the official ptr"

Im gonna put you an ignore, there is clearly a language barrier between us, have a nice day

So You didn’t actually read my post but say I’m the one with a inability to read? I never said they don’t data mine things or that or that ptr cycles are the same I specifically pointed out that you saying they doesn’t data mine spoilers is false.

[draugril]

They are mmos and other online games that were first on PC and now are on consoles.

WoW is just very special in that regard with how much reliance there is on stuff like macros and addons.

Like the idea you doing arenas on console with pc players without weakauras, callouts and macros is another world

Hence the part of the post you chopped out.

[Relapses]

League doesn't have spoilers. It doesn't have a story: At least not, in that game.

Riot has been pushing stories and themes behind skins and gameplay modes for the last few years. (I mean, fuck, Arcane's existence is pretty much born from a couple of throw-away lines from Vi and Jinx's original lore.) It's not exactly the same as what happens in WoW but League's PBE is very similar in purpose to WoW's.

[Aeluron Lightsong]

That was one of my thoughts too, but I then thought about how they have enough trouble delivering content more than like, once a year.

There's no way they are going to do yearly content stuff, more so if a certain someone is booted out.

[Lorgar Aurelian]

Before spirit blossom and the ruination you would be right but both of those events told story in game and atleast ruination was data mined in advance.

[Foreign Exchange Ztudent]

What do you mean "heading"?
WoW is a fully seasonal game atleast since legion

- - - Updated - - -



I mean i read that part but thats a thing that needs to happen before, not after.
And their moved MORE towards that direction later, not less, hence i dont consider it as something that is even happening

Removing expansions definitely would be solidifying that move. Expansions still keep a promise of content alive.

I think it makes sense. That's why I totally expect the Elder Scrolls Online model for content releases following 10.0.
