Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Raetary]

https://us.shop.battle.net/en-us/pro...t-dragonflight is that new guys should we freak out idk tbh just saw on reddit, mayne im sharing a virus idk just deleted there tho.

Time to bring back the hype train.

[Worldshaper]

2022 was obviously always going to be the case. Glad we can settle the 2023 debate.

[Alexjimithing]

By the end of the year, huh.

Also preordered.

e: The wings on that mount look tight.

[rainhard]

Does that 2022 release make scale guy more right if i remember correctly?

[Onslaught49]

fuck yes, all aboard the hype train!

[Bsirk]

Chugga Chugga Choo Choo!! Yay!

[Chickat]

That's not good news. We don't have long enough for testing now.

[Worldshaper]

That green dragon mount is beautiful.

[Super Dickmann]

Bad move, Shadowlands had more of a gap and more to show at announcement and was still unfinished and needed a multi-week delay. They're rushing it and will either have to delay or come out with a shambles.

[Foreign Exchange Ztudent]

Accelerationism won.

[ImTheMizAwesome]

Too bad there's no full armor transmog, dragon themed. :/

[Dracullus]

I saw this a possibility, but a very unlikely possibility. Maybe they waited for pre-order to be sure it can be done. So, unless raid will be moved to 2023, Season 4 must launch somewhere in August, if raid will launch this year deadline for pre-patch is November 1st.

Of course date so close to Christmas is worrying, suits could push devs to bring expac 1-2 months faster. But I think Alpha require less work than BfA or SL, they won't have to make 15 iterations of Azerite or conduits, reward system is already set in stone.

Shadow lands was also obviously cut short so DF might be quite far along if all that extra time went into it.

Guess the last two expacs draining subs is forcing their hand.

Could also explain why dracthyr feel so limited (no armor, one class of animations, limited visage forms and no armor rigging work save a butt load of time).

[Lahis]

Well, fuck. They don't have enough time.

Another rushjob for a trainwreck of an expansion. Three for three, fatal blow to the game.

Given how we saw no raids or dungeons in the preview makes me really doubt this. Not to mention it'll overlap with Wrath release date.

[micwini]

Lol. Beta should be starting tomorrow if they want to put out somewhat of a quality product.
This will be WoD 2.0 with 0 content.

Their leak said a November 2022 release so it lines up.

Or you know don't spin everything as a negative?

Time for what? Most Alpha/beta cycles last way to long. Also if it is three for three and another train wreck why are you still here?

[Cheezits]

It's a raidlog expansion with old talents juggled around. Why does this need a 2023 release?

Shadowlands was delayed for polish and still people hated it due to story, inherent nature of covenants, setting, etc. Nothing matters but the content of the expansion, and in the case of SL no amount of time would ever make people like it, except for a complete scrapping of the concept.

[Aeluron Lightsong]

Oh right, MMO-champion being cynical what else is new. Stay classy
