Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Sondrelk]

They had atlest one (Mabye two) day of walk out the week before they went on vacation trying to get kotick to leave.

The plan was to get the prt up before they went on vacation and the walk out is what likely pushed that plan back.

Here’s the delay blue post.

Ahh yeah, i faintly remember that did indeed happen.

Guess we will just have to sit and wait for what will happen.

[Foreign Exchange Ztudent]

I guess it's going live next week or the week after that. I am surprised that they are still gathering applications for the Council.

I really wonder when the Council will go live. I am assuming around the same time as 9.2 Launch. But, it will be interesting to see when that shows up.

[TheFirstOnes]

we literally see all these races in the Shadowlands. A highmountain tauren is a major dead character. ???

That wasn't an assassination attempt. Sylvanas only ordered to trail Saurfangs accomplices. We already know from the loyalist storyline, she never actually wanted to kill Baine as we allow his escape before it even happens. It was a test to see where everyone's loyalties remained.

The Jailer: lol

Also, Saurfang FOLLOWED them, not the other way around.

Meaning they were already on Thralls ass when he got to them

Guys, 9.2 PTR is today. Towelliee literally said what content is going to be available and whats not. Jesus christ

[Makabreska]

Saurfang said he followed them and both seemingly go for thrall just one geting close lined trying to run past saurfang so from all angles they seem to be trying to kill thrall.

You are arguing with the guy who recently said that burning down the Teldrassil was an act of mercy, because all those nelves lived long enough and were most likely fed up with their lives. There is no point, he will bend literally everything to defend Sylvi.

[Nyel]

You throwing out totally baseless assumptions again. Yikes.

Yeah, watching their work ethic at the moment it's totally baseless. Totally!

Can you link/quote that post? That sounds insane.

Does it really matter though? It's December. Vacations in two weeks. I think it barely matters if it's live today, tomorrow or middle of next week, not much is going to happen anyway.

And they won't listen to our feedbacks, soooo...
Just kidding, or not ?

Just because the devs won't be actively patching stuff doesn't mean it's pointless. Loads of feedback and date is gathered during the time they are on vacation, and when they return they wont really be behind compared to of they waited until they could devote their fully attention to it.

At worst players will find some gamebreaking bug that won't be fixed until next year, but honestly who really cares. It's the PTR, and either we get something, or we get nothing.
I will happily take something that has a chance of being broken than nothing when it comes to PTR.

Does anything matter? It's a bit early for existential dread, isn't it?

I mean I just want more narrative leaks at this point in time. Maybe see some Raid dialogue leaks, could be nifty.

Not sure what more dialogue could reveal that would be that exciting. I guess maybe some stuff on Arthas and his role to play in the Anduin fight, and possibly the part after.

Honestly I am most excited for the "accidental" leaked asset from the next expansion, if indeed we are getting one. At this point the next expansion is almost certainly going to be either a world revamp or dragon isles, and it would be interesting to get some hints at which one.


Otherwise I weirdly am most interested in class changes from the things we know to be coming.
I would absolutely adore some more rewards from Trial of Style, or improvements to Timewalking like maybe some more old armor set recolors like what we are getting from Legion Timewalking.

... improvements to Timewalking like maybe some more old armor set recolors like what we are getting from Legion Timewalking...

Or more unsused weapons (ulduar 2-handed swords to just name one) and mounts

[Foreign Exchange Ztudent]

I don't know, I don't really expect content anymore. The few morsels the Blizzard Developers are able to put out don't really excite me anymore. I'm extremely bored of the Island structure of content delivery and how the patches are structured. I applaud them for good things that are positives, but I just don't care anymore. Content feels like an afterthought because it is.

All that matters now is Danuser and Ion's vision for the game everything else can sink if it can't swim.

Obviously I just need more clues on the narrative and that I will get from future builds. Obviously anything that can confirm that Zovaal Raid Cinematic is going to be a fiasco on the level of N'zoth Raid Cinematic is a plus in my book at this point.

I'm trying to focus all the other aspects of this patch since it seems pretty interesting, like I am extremely excited to see what the Constellar says during its' encounter. But, yeah it just sucks that Blizzard framed this expansion onto Zovaal and Zovaal is most likely just being beamed and thus it is weird to frame the patch's final encounter on him if the result of his defeat is disappointment for everyone.

Wait what did he said then?

[Foreign Exchange Ztudent]

Haven't seen any confirmation from Towelliee. He literally posted a gif that stated that it was unlikely to arrive today. So again I don't know what you want me to believe.

[draugril]

This is "Light Mayo implies the existance of Dark Mayo" levels of logic.

At the very least, it implies the existence of at least two forms of Mayo. Or you wouldn’t need to specify. In Mayo’s case, the opposite of “Light” would be “Heavy,” calorically-speaking, which would be your regular Mayo.

Why specify when “Zereth” would do? To imply that the universe is larger than it is. I doubt the writers have specific intents for… anything, really.

A less disingenuous analogy would be referring to a Red Crayon. Why specify “Red” if that’s the only Colour? No one asks for a Grey Pencil, as there would be no need as their colours are uniformly grey.

If Zereth Mortis applies to everything… leave it as Zereth. The second appellation need not exist.

No that was about last night when the new vendor build went live. In his Twitch stream name it says that the PTR will be today

[Foreign Exchange Ztudent]

Oh, I see now. Sorry, time is a weird concept to me these days.
