Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Alexjimithing]

The mount looks ridiculously cool in game (as does the /mountspecial).

Those fucking WINGS

What is there to test? Quests, raids, dungeons… Class tuning and talents can be done live. It’s basically a large patch. I’m hyped!

Its an expansion and a large patch would be one zone.

Scaleface is a legend.

Unlucky dates not changed at all (personally i dont think rushing like this is good idea), and november is around the corner.

[klaps_05]

Its gonna be hilarious with all the dogshit talent trees and their structures when they go live. Between the TONS of holidays between now and end of year and the prepatch, beta wont be more than 2 months. DF truly is the covid recovery expansion, just put something whatever story together before the actual 11.0 expansion.

[Cheezits]

They and the talents are the meat and potatoes of the game.

According to 99% of people that talk about the game, its the cutscenes, story and what asses are being collected.

[Dracullus]

It's kinda funny most of the pre-order items are going to be pointless if you plan to play a Dracthyr. The mount too will be obsolete in DF.

Why it's funny? First, most people won't main Evoker. Second, purpose of these items is to encourage you to pay Blizzard 6 months before release.

Third, +1 mount.

Between the TONS of holidays between now and end of year and the prepatch, beta wont be more than 2 months.

3 months of holidays (excluding December, we have to think about pre-patch as you said) before end of year? Can I move to your country?

[Dioporco]

Insane how people are wasting 90 euro / dollars for a fucking mount and some xmog garbage for a game that doesnt even have a beta.


really blizzard has the most gullible players in the universe, star citizen not even close.

[ImTheMizAwesome]

Im watching screens and a streams, Wings are so awful looking in game and Hearthstone effect just looks too simple.

Like besides the mount its pretty meh overall.

[TS26]

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.

season 4 in august same time as ffxiv patch 6.2

[Nymrohd]

man look at that just some normal ass looking land and clothing. gettin me hyped.

e: not sarcasm

Love the fur details and the color.

[Lorgar Aurelian]

They and the talents are the meat and potatoes of the game. If we're less than six months from release and there's no idea of what they'll even be and the talents themselves are in a prototype state then they'll have few chances to iterate on it. Delaying the release of the main bits of content would be more disastrous than just penning a release date.

The Wrath release is less about the dev work required and more that it's a big enough deal to make money and tide them over for more time to polish the product that needs the work.

The talents I would agree could make or break it as they have shown they really can’t do the classes without player feedback unlike art/encounters.

Oh no people spend their money one something they enjoy. The only problematic people are those that hate on Blizzard, and the people that enjoy their products, endlessly. Find something you enjoy rather then crapping on something others enjoy.

The upcoming six-month mount is a hulked out Murloc.

[Blayze]

So it looks like no early Evoker.

[Nask]

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

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

He says without having any kind of knowledge about how far the game development is.

[Aeluron Lightsong]

You don't have to buy the extra edition if you don't want to, I certainly haven't. I dislike paying higher then 60 in terms of video games.

[rhorle]

season 4 in august same time as ffxiv patch 6.2

With the constant Mythic nerfs it is clear Season 4 will drop shortly after the Alliance Hall of Fame closes. There are currently 54 of 100. It may take until August but it seems likely to be sooner.

The red dragonflight wings do go EXTREMELY well with the BElf transmog from 9.2.5 tho.

Someone expected that? Pretty obvious it will launch with Uldaman event 2 weeks before expac.
