Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Therougetitan]

For the same reason that Sneed is in the Horde & we have "Undead" rather than Forsaken or Scourge...this is made in part to appeal to casual fans, not really fans of Warcraft. I'm just amazed with Chilton showing up as part of the team that there wasn't at least some sort of push to keep this better tied to the story of the game.

Trying to think why you would think Tom Chilton cares about lore when he wasn't related to lore and always sounded incompetent in interviews.

[Foreign Exchange Ztudent]

Wonder if there will be Amiibo integration with the mini figures. Buy mini figures in RL and scan for units in-game?

Skylanders flashback.

[Ersula]

nah dude
thats like expecting a diablo 4 announcement today

a lot of people like clash of clans style games so i imagine a lot will like this even if it is a bit questionable in terms of actually making sense

I mean, they've done more than one major announcement on the same day. I remember they announced 8.3 & a Hearthstone reveal on the same day.

It seems like the lore is that it's a game people play inside of taverns, same as with Hearthstone. Hence they don't need to have "lore accurate" portrayal there. Imo it makes sense that in-lore a gnome would f.e. craft a Tirion minifigure to use for the game's alliance faction.

That's just hopium at this moment. DF alr had it's major announcement. Today is the day of mobile game.

[Valysar]

I did not watch the announcement, did they talk about unlocking rewards in WoW while playing this game ?

Check front page re-cap.

God i hope not

[therumblings]

I have no intention of playing mobile games and I hope anyone who plays them enjoys this. I simply don't care and have no reason to get mad at this.

[Revamp Man]

cypher weapons coming in 9.2.5
almost like those should have been kinda obvious baseline additions

[rhorle]

i think we get the second game as well

Pretty sure it was cancelled and we are just getting Arclight rumble.

[Foreign Exchange Ztudent]

Cory Stocktons' game is cancelled aka the Pokemon GO Game.

Additional Mobile Games are in development for Warcraft. Unknown if the Second Game mentioned in the Quarterly Earnings will be showcased before the year ends. Doubtful.

[Nymrohd]

Well this clearly is not for me but hey, more power to whoever enjoys this.

[Mekkle]

that announcement trailer was agony

[Lady Atia]

Soooooo ..... let's hope for a new PTR build today, I guess?

[Lahis]

What the fuck is that thing?

Clash of Clans clone.

I mean we have no idea if the PTR Datamining encryption enforcement has been put into effect and we won't get anything until 9.2.5 launches.

Clash of Clans clone.

More Clash Royale than Clash of Clans, at least Clash of Clans is actually a concept. But this is just goop.

[Makabreska]

Clash of Clans clone.

Actually it is not that type of game. It's based on tower defence.

Do we actually think 9.2.5 is done? As it is 9.2.5 would be the smallest numbered patch ever.

Typically if something is encrypted we know its encrypted. They don't encrypt entire builds.

It's clash of clans with towers.

The only thing that bothers me is how similar the gameplay AND artstyle is to CoC.
