    But as it was, the Earthen Death Knights simply started in the normal Earthen starting zone & it didn't create any problems. They could be cheeky and say Death Knight Earthen's primary job is composting.

    Yeah, same here.

Really hope they shorten the preseason window now to like 1 week.
    Honestly, the biggest issue with the early access has always been the economic advantage, rather than any gear/instance progression one.

    It seems we got jebaited a little. The datamined line states that Hc wont be available IN THE FLG TOOL only.

    Didn't they spawn outside the starting zone questline? AFAIK their scenario wasn't complete, pointing to it being something special.

    Wonder if they just couldn’t finish their special intro in time and scrapped it along with Earthen DKs

    Yeah, the game is definitely rendering the buttons as smaller than they are for me on Live.

    But I just realized there was an Nvidia update recently that I hadn't installed yet so going to do that now and see if things change.

    They shouldn't need a unique intro. All this tells us is the devs themselves forgot there were Death Knights before the Lich King.

    So I guess daily world tour of heroics? As long as the pre-season period is shorter than its been its not the worst, still pretty lame imo.

    It's very likely, yeah. But it could still be implemented in beta. The fact that they can't even put it into beta makes me think it's more special than just the Earthen and could also be the Dracthyr one (11.0.7?), and made futureproof where new races can be slotted in.

    If they are locking them from DF pre season they will imo be completely disabled. It kind of makes sense given the power level of Heroics and M0s now and also ensures normal mode dungeons serve a point beyond being story during leveling.

    Also fits with Delves above T3 being unavailable during pre season.

    So apparently wyrm crests drop from 4-8 keys and aspect from +9 upwards in tww? I really dislike this change if they don't adjust the amount of crests you get per run or make it easier for twinks to farm them while doing that.

    They said S1 talents gonna be tied to Hero Talents, so it means they weren't able to do it (considering the state of some of those trees) so they went for some quick, safe and boring bonuses.
    At this point i don't know if blizzard is oblivious or petty when giving warlocks a malefic rapture set bonus.

    This didn't change a thing, but at least my drivers are updated now to exclude that being the problem.

    Why wouldn't they? They are fully and intentionally doubling down on MR as a main ST and AoE spender anyway.

    I can understand not having new M0 available, even if I disagree, but heroic drops the equivalent of old M0 which has been available for every xpac that has existed with mythic dungeons on launch

    In some void version of reality the beta IS live. Not in ours though sadly.

    They are spoiling (the other kind of spoil) us with those trailers.

    Anyone else kinda put off by this? Like its so blantant about being an ad for buying the special addition to "experience" the xpac early in beta.


    Edit: Max just said on stream Blizz msg'd him saying they found a couple issues causing the beta delay.
