New 10.0 build up on wowdev, the second one we've seen so far. If those are regular now, internal (but on Battle.net) alpha is definitely happening.
Time to restart the hype train then !
I mean, Q3 starts next month, so that's quite likely to happen.

Diablo IV is the product they can redeem themselves with. Dragonflight won't be it anyway. And after the Diablo Immortal fiasco and their even more tarnished reputation, that's where all the hope lies. And maybe Overwatch 2, but that sounds to become a cash grab as well.

Sometimes, the light of the moon is a key to other spaces. I've found a place where, for a night or two, the streets curve in unfamiliar ways. If I walk here, I might find insight, or I might be touched by madness.
It always was just OW1 with a PvE expansion. At the time they did say they didn't have a good way to market it so just called it 2 even though it was just basically OW1 with PvE. Everything was always designed to transfer over and for PvP to be free for OW1 owners.

We are due for a 6-month subscription mount soon so I wonder if they are going to do an Annual pass instead. Lock in a year of WoW and get a free copy of D4. The Wen Lo bundle was announced January 25th so we will should know about the next one later this month.

Huh? It's already clear that Dragonflight won't be the Legion-type of renaissance that WoW is in dire need of, has nothing to do with "this expansion will fail". People left and right here and everywhere else were expecting a Legion-kind of expansion for Dragonflight with bombast, content and packed with features. We get nothing of the sort. It's a simple obversation.

As long as there is no borrowed powers, conduits, billions of anima to farm, legendaries, that'll be a great xpac
PVE will release later, presumably sometime in 2023. It hasn't yet been confirmed if it'll cost anything.
The PVP part of OW2 is more of a F2P reboot of OW, so it could more aptly be called Overwatch 2.0. I can confirm as a longtime player that it changes the PVP experience on a more fundamental level than is apparent on the surface but it isn't easy to notice if you haven't been following the game closely over the past few years.
This always sounds like a weird argument to me? How will it have significantly less content than Legion when pretty much everything has carried over since then? Or or that matter, carried over with significant improvements like M+ seasonal affixes?
It likely won't be as big a jump as Legion was from the content sahara that was WoD, but the game is already stuffed to the brim with expected content each new major patch, expecting significantly more is just begging the question of when we have more than is feasible.
The world revamp dream will never die!
What's ballsy about that? We know the feature list. We know how many zones there will be. What do you think will the mysterious Alpha or Beta have in store that they have not announced yet? Like come on. Dragonflight is nowhere near that. Again, this is an observation and nothing else.

Based on what? Your wholly objective gut feeling?
Legion was a smash hit because it was fan service heavy, but more importantly because it came off WoD, the most anemic expansion the game has had, shortest one as well.
You know what else WoW is in dire need of? An expansion that focuses on core systems instead of chasing the hype endlessly.

Content =/ Features. To use the Legion comparison, a lot of the content that made Legion great wasn't even mentioned at its announcement. World quests weren't mentioned at its reveal and the entirety of Suramar was basically a name on a map and little else. In this sense the judgements you're making about Dragonflight could have just as easily been made about Legion at the time of its reveal and I can assure you they were.
It is simply too early to be able to reasonably pass such judgement. It isn't "simple observation", it's "biased observation", and it's fine if you want to take that stance but do be aware that people were saying the exact same about Legion when it was announced.
