Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Foreign Exchange Ztudent]

Well, if there's a stream they usually reveal them on Tuesdays. I doubt it though, I think its just 9.2 Release Date this week. But, then again. Qwiks' tweet seems to indicate they are going to do streams ("videos" if you want to technically correct) for each active franchise.

Just uncertain if WoW will do that although historically we've done them before the Final Raid Cinematic. But they could also time it after the Raid Cinematic.

I mean I don't know if it is Dragon Isles. Frankly there's been very little outside of those lore pointers in BFA to indicate it. Just... there isn't much shit left on Azeroth and either they were lying about a "grounded expansion" or not.



Far as stuff we know, I know our parrot friend had a rundown of stuff from Blizzard (aka datamined) that's unaccounted for. Biggest two being the HD Elwynn buildings and the Living World pointers.

I think it's quite possible Living World is something 10.0 related, but as it stands it's basically non-evidence. It could be anything at all and also entirely unrelated to the actual theme or setting of the expansion. It could be stuff for an Azeroth titan model used after the end of 9.2, it could be stuff for some alternate reality system in an Emerald Dream expansion, it could be not animations at all and just a little hint for dataminers towards a revamp expansion where zones function dynamically with different mobs/things happening based on the time of day, weather, or if there are players nearby.

I don't think a revamp is unlikely, it has been long enough and the playerbase has been clamoring for it, but I also think that Blizzard would probably take the Cata approach and do both revamp stuff and brand new regions--especially because current lore ports to a constructive revamp not a destructive one like Cata was, which means zones will not be wildly different, they will move towards healed, repaired towns, rebuilt ruins, etc. So a Dragon Isles is likely even in a revamp scenario.

An extremely worrying amount of people in this thread unaware that CET actually stands for Central European Time and not Eastern Standard Time (NA East Coast).

How awkward.

Feb 04th is a dead giveaway as to why this is fake.

A single person suffering from sleep deprivation that didn't even say what you claim? I'm more worried about your reading comprehension.

So Black Temple is dropping this week in BCC.

Not to burst anyone's hopes but that's probably the big WoW news.

[Chickat]

He was still on board during 9.1 development

Shadowlands totally does that
We had no clue those flowing robes were in any way connected

Well that just further cements what people are saying imo. Of course, we wont know until 10.0. Lets hope 10.0 is good.

Lol, no. 10char

I mean, its unlikely its WoW news in the first place.

Ybarra is leader of Blizzard as whole. So what he discusses will likely be company wide initiatives rather than focused on one franchise in particular. But that said, its entirely possible he will unveil the replacement they have in mind for BlizzCon this year and potentially moving forward.

I guess Maths is one thing you'll never have.

Man it’s crazy how all these leaks just mysteriously come from “discord”. Kind of annoying at this point, it’s obviously fake.

Nobody here confused CET and EST. They got the calculation on EST wrong which just happened to be 12h off from CET. They didn't think the CET value was EST.

It's the new minor bid for validation because it implies some other source of the information. It's basically replaced the "take a blurry phone picture of a screen from an angle" technique.

Has this been discussed/debunked yet? Sounds fake to me but there are some oddities to it that still make me wonder

It's interesting, but the Thal'Dranath part had me scratching my head. Probably fake. The Expansion name also makes no sense with the story they leak.

[Shadochi]

If its from discord please at least bother to post a screenshot and reactions of people from that chat (cover the names ofc)

"I found this on a big discord" is the new "so I emailed my buddy and"

[Shadochi]

Also if it is from discord kinda strange that it wouldn't just have the discord url but be reuploded to imgur

If you look at the silhouette of the logo, it matches this fan made logo i found on a quick google search. 100p fake

Yeah, it is the EoD that was first posted here.

Hey did we just make our first loop of this thread? Where reddit is cited as a source for something from here

We need to achieve the full circle. Leak something here, unsourced, then have it quoted on WH as legit, then have reddit quote the WH article only for this thread to continue another 50 pages only to repost the original link here with the source being "Discord."
