    No chance in .... there is no MAJOR event for Pre-Patch. We already know about "elemental invasions" existing AND we need some form of bridge between SL and DF. Playing the story on Beta from beginning makes no sense.

    Ehhh...I guess...

    The only login music that is short like this is the Classic WoW one. Could be a similar case here I guess...

    The login music sounds very digital. Not a big fan.

    I haven't spoiled myself with regard to the Dragonflight story. I have beta, but I literally have only tested Dragonriding and some dummy testing in Orgrimmar (either lowering my sound for dialogue, ignoring quest text, or skipping cutscenes to unlock dragonriding).

    Now, what I can say is that it makes no sense to log in and get a quest for the Dragon Isles with no preamble. So, I can't imagine we won't get some juicy story stuff between Evoker starting zone (which I haven't done) and the pre-patch story quests to bridge the gap. The 9.2.5 stuff was nice, but it doesn't do much for introducing the Dragon Isles (minus MAYBE the line between Ysera and Tyrande). Lastly, we have the Elemental invasions datamined (which points to the Primalists attacking, maybe)? Also, there's a time skip so would love to see some stuff in pre-patch for that.

    Well, If its not a placeholder, I'm very dissapointed with the music, they went really lazy this time.
    It sound very fake to me and, like it was made... just to be there.

    The Dragonflight parts sound much better and more orchestrated in the cinematic

    So that's one expansion with delayed prepatch class launch and one with instant prepatch class launch. We're at 50-50.

    That's why i'm thinking it's placeholder. It sounds like they are using a mockup/demo version that's done digitally until they can implement the final version after they have recorded it. They did this in Shadowlands Alpha for Bastion, they had like 4 of those sampled/mockup tracks play in the zone, they were the only tracks we had from Shadowlands for like 5 months, and then when the beta music build came out we got the final versions of those tracks with actual recordings of musicians and bunch more versions.
    You can search "Xaxas unreleased version" on Youtube and see what i'm talking about with the "mockup", just an example.

    Personally, I would prefer that they didn't test the invasions/story stuff on PTR not to spoil it.

    We already know there's going to be a two week pre-event. Might be they don't want to spoil it, though.

    Its probably going to be longer than two weeks, my guess is it will happen the week after the seasons end (so about 4 week total that it lasts, 3 weeks from now)

    So you want it to launch in an extremely broken state then

    If ppl want to avoid spoilers for a patch two weeks away I think it is pretty easy

    Tbh I think the prepatch event will just be a copy paste of the elemental invasions on beta right now except using a different currency on different zones.
    Maybe a world boss elemental lord dude in each zone too.

    From what I’m seeing of the elemental invasions it’s doable. Just atmospheric effects and buffs placed on NPCs.

    They still have things to test because as has always been the case...blizz qa is not as useful as ptr

    It's a current trend with film/tv and games, more computer editing and less orchestra. Doesn't help that their music department got budget cuts.
