Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Ilir]

Do you need to pre-order to have a chance to get into the alpha?

No. You can even be unsubbed.

Awesome! I'll keep checking then.

[Dracullus]

I don't even want in tbh, save it for someone who will actually test. I prefer non spoiled as well.

Me too, of course I signed because I would install it and play around with talents of my main. Although PTR for pre-patch could be not so far away, 9.0 PTR started around August two months before launch.

Check your launchers everyone, I got in

Can confirm, I'm in as well.

[Local Ardenweald Faerie]

I'm so jealous of the people who got in. I want to play so bad!

[Mokenuf]

I'm in ! Let's freaking go!!! <3

I still think that model looks absolutely terrible, but that's indeed subjective.

They are looking into smaller, more frequent patches in Dragonflight.

This is good news imho. It cannot be stressed enough how good Legion worked due to this. I just hope they don't make the actual content patches smaller, but spread their content evenly.

Tbh, I think without covid, team restructuring and new work from home we can and should expect a Broken shore/9.1 sized patch every 6 months at the minimum. No large delays. Preferably patches as big or bigger than Legion with a similar content cadence.

Or datacenters in Cali start having cooling issues. really any kind of major crisis like Covid spins things around in a negative way.

Congrats! Have a good time in the alpha!

As usual, I did not get in on this wave. Maybe someday, my account seems to get in around midway through beta with like a month or two left in most WoW beta cycles.

[Cheezits]

MAJOR spoilers for a character who was just added in who may or may not be one of the endbosses of this expansion.

Magatha Grimtotem was just added

[boyzma]

Any videos of the new zone? Besides the city which looks awesome.

[Civciv]

No. You can even be unsubbed.

That's not true. You need to be subbed. https://twitter.com/Portergauge/stat...M6_N0fKtQ&s=19

I think the Shaman trees need a tad of an overall.

If each spec has "Assendance" in their spec tree....wouldn't that make it more of a Class ability as opposed to a Spec Ability?

That's literally what we have in retail. Ele, resto, enhancement has `Assendance` in their talents.

[Cheezits]

So, I just saw something neat.

Apparently, several years have past since the Champions returned from the Shadowlands, meaning it's been several years since we came BACK, not while we were there, meaning there was a time skip, but it didn't happen during our time at the realms of Death, nor was it too big apparently.

It's bizarre that they didn't do this with a revamp, so I assume something is up. It will be silly if years have passed and there have been no changes to Lordaeron, Gilneas, etc.

[Lorgar Aurelian]

Enh looks like it should be a lot of fun with things like lava burst, doom winds, and gust of wind, all that’s really missing from my wish list is 2 handers.

[Gawdzilla]

Oh I know...i just think it makes more sense to Ascendance as a capstone in the Class Tree as opposed to wasting a spot in the Spec Trees. I think it would open things up more for each class to have a bit more flavor.

Give Enh that more "Earthwarder" feel or 2H viability.

Again just me.

I completely agree with you, maybe they'll change after feedbacks.

[guro-tchai]

Give Enh that more "Earthwarder" feel or 2H viability.

hope that comes in the next expansion, along with gradual adding of a new spec to every class, same with dual wield survival.

a 2h shaman-tank was there since wc3 - i'm talking about the tauren chieftain. it may look like a warrior, but all its abilities are present in the shaman kit. besides, Cairne somehow blocked the centaur from coming into Mulgore, and that looks shamanic enough for me.
although seeing how they just pulled a class of their asses, the chances are slim.
