Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Nyel]

Conversely how do you create a challenge with sharding? Everything just gets mobbed down in seconds. Not sure how you achieve challenging outdoor content without controlling group sizes in some way.

Dynamic scaling which adjusts the power of an enemy by the amount of players fighting it. WoW does this to an extent already, but it needs improvement.

[Izalla]

Thank you Blizz for so kindly and considerately following a schedule most convenient for me by first announcing Dragonflight while I am helping train new hires and thus have less focus placed on my actual job, and then (likely)launching beta just as I start training new hires again. It's lovely to have time to pay attention while the fun stuff is going on.

Now announce a release date so I have time to book vacation!

[Worldshaper]

So, tonight's the data mine build?

I think anything is possible at this point? Not sure when that alleged NDA ends, but I think datamining could start at any time from tonight.

[Sondrelk]

So, tonight's the data mine build?

More likely tomorrow, but still worth hoping for tonight.

What are some burning questions you all have about DF up to this point

What does max level look like content wise for players? I know we will have M+, BGs, and Raids, but will we have a new activity that is the Dragonflight version of BFAs Islands or Torghast? Or is it a case of the new Dragonriding system taking the place of that endgame activity?

What are some burning questions you all have about DF up to this point

How is the evoker gameplay? Healer and ranged
Are there any WQs/Emissaries?
What world content is there?
How does dragonflying work?
How does end game content look?
Is there generally a lot of content in general for the expansion?
Any torghast or mini game etc?

[TS26]

It's either today or tomorrow I guess.

what new tameable hunter pets? Nesingwary?

Man I hope Nesingwary shows up!

Chongus Murloc?
and obviously Paladin stuff?

[Worldshaper]

Man I hope Nesingwary shows up!

Nesingwary, Harrison Jones, Nat Pagle, Brann Bronzebeard and all those guys should be in every expansion.

[Catastrophy349]

It's either today or tomorrow I guess.

Let’s put it this way: If you were to bet money on today or tomorrow you would likely lose more money today.

[Lady Atia]

Nesingwary, Harrison Jones, Nat Pagle, Brann Bronzebeard and all those guys should be in every expansion.

Honestly not a fan of either of them besides Brann. Would rather get some Hearthstone characters like the Explorers League or Kazakus instead of the other old "meme" characters.

[Kiivar86]

...Harrison Jones...and all those guys should be in every expansion.

Honestly I'm still smarting after Uldum. I'd rather not see him ever again.

I'm ok with the others though, especially Brann.

Idk if it's appropriate to call them burning questions, but I'd really like someone with alpha access to confirm whether Dracthyrs are truly forced to go into visage to mount up

[Catastrophy349]

Here’s a burning question: What are the temperatures like on the Dragon Isles?

Can each of my alts customize their own four drakes (like with pocopoc) or is my account stuck with the same 4 colours? Like f.e. my dk may want a white protodrake while my mage wants a blue one - can I do that?

[Teriz]

I'm here for the Evoker talents.

Why would you assume that you wouldn't be able to do that?

[Lady Atia]

Why would you assume that you wouldn't be able to do that?

Simply anxious from the fact that mounts usually are accountwide.
