like the time dragons or whatever theyre called

mossy meteor
#

Man addons are such a weird thing in wow

#

I get why blizzard treats the devs like shit

#

But I also don't get it

#

A smaller-ish game dev company I know literally invited the devs of the biggest addon for the game to visit their hq and talk about game design and what not

#

It was like 30 people visiting

uncut vault
#

oh nice, the evoker tier works finally

#

which one, the one in my picture there? cause they've always had that

mossy meteor
#

It's so wild that blizzard clarified addons must be free to download

#

Flight sim addons are 90% paywall

dense plover
uncut vault
#

the colors match the armors pretty well too from what Ive seen

#

like the purple armor option will match that perfectly

ember blaze
uncut vault
#

keep in mind that skin tones are affected a lot by the secondary color

#

or lack thereof

ember blaze
#

good point

#

i'll just look closer on live

#

already had to remake my dracthyr 3 times cause of a silly mistake 😂

uncut vault
#

yeah I had to take screenshots of all my alpha stuff to remember them haha

#

WoW really needs the customization saving feature that other MMOs have

#

especially with the huge amount of stuff Dracthyr have

uncut vault
#

here's a good comparison, this person has the same base skin tone, but uses purple markings and a purple-white secondary color

#

so it comes off way different for most of the textures

uncut vault
#

maxed out on dragonriding at level 61, I really hope this stays possible through to live

#

it's a really good freedom of exploration tool

ember blaze
#

man.. unable to set a single talent or save for my evoker

#

time for evoker #20

deep pawn
#

bartender did randomly break on me today, but updating it instantly fixed

dense plover
# uncut vault

the really neat thing is I think its supposed to be account wide

#

so you only need to do it once, even if they stagger it over leveling

uncut vault
#

It already is on alpha, thankfully

fading hornet
#

can't even skill my dragonriding 🤔

uncut vault
#

Yeah there are some bad talent bugs abound

deep pawn
#

well that's what the next 11 weeks for DF content are.

#

Lmao

glass flicker
#

Oh duck, they know too much!

livid walrus
#

I tried dragon riding while my char being drunk and it had no effect F

ember blaze
#

@uncut vaultfound what i wanted from your suggestion

#

can make the overall body darker with markings

uncut vault
#

Yeah! It helps a ton towards adding a bunch of variants to their base skin tones

rain cave
ember blaze
#

no 😂 just liked the dark color with the light combo

uncut vault
#

thats def what Im going for at least for mine lol

deep pawn
#

sassy drac

signal bone
#

can other classes wear the evoker armor?

#

other classes being shaman / hunter

pulsar minnow
#

Yeah. As long as it’s not a tier piece any mail user can wear Evoker gear.
Or are you talking about their starting zone gear?

ember blaze
#

did the new camera activity get updated? 🤔

#

or is it still aiming a beam of light to "take pictures"

signal bone
#

nah the tier pieces, assuming there are offsets

signal bone
#

I hope we get more heritage armor this expac. I'd love me some troll armor

deep pawn
#

It's been a long time since blizzard has made enough drops to get tier off sets

#

Was WoD maybe. Legion you often ended up missing important slots.

#

weather effects for primalist plot beats are a lot more intense this build

dense plover
ember blaze
#

until people start 😭 about it being too hard to see

sullen dawn
#

They can shut up

#

Bring back intense weather!

rain cave
#

I think at large people will be fine with it

#

It's just questing and people were fine with vision mechanics in raids

rain cave
#

@cunning fossil

#

fistweaving monk could be interesting af

#

since you can take both bondust brew and faeline

#

with their upgraded version talents too

#

could be a fucking nutty M+ healer I guess

cunning fossil
#

On

#

Will look at it after I get freshened up

cosmic beacon
#

MW doing damage in keys again? pog

rain cave
#

is kind of funny

cosmic beacon
#

although

#

fae stomp does next to nothing already even with a conduit

#

so without conduit idk

rain cave
#

it's because they can chain eachother

#

you can get a talent that increases the chance of faeline stomp resetting, and also it gives you a bunch of procs/ buffs itself

#

like making tiger palm 2 target

#

and your crane kicks heal based on damage done

#

but then also you can get a bonedust thing that gives your abilities a low chance of casting bonedust brew

#

as a proc

#

so by just having faelinestomp going, and resetting all the time

#

you're letting bonedust proc more often

#

and byhaving bonedust proc more often

#

you're getting potentially more faeline resets

cunning fossil
cosmic beacon
#

does it still costs like 2k mana PepeCross

#

worst thing imo about it
its fun, but even when it currently doesnt do much damage it just ooms you if u get a few procs and actually need to heal

zealous basalt
#

How is the UI looking like, guys

cunning fossil
#

Good tbh

livid walrus
#

@uncut vault if you want to know. they updated the spa island

deep pawn
#

As it stands, none of the 3 monk specs want bonedust. It was reliant on emeni and having both cdr and the random spawns. In DF you have no emeni and have to choose either cdr while it's active or random drops.

#

Faeline enabling mw cleave is super hype though

dense plover
#

its the most fun (even if its under-tuned)

crimson jasper
#

tuning can always be adjusted luckily

rare hemlock
#

Does Dragonflight keep with the lame tradition of zone-specific on-use items?

deep pawn
#

the stuff in revendreth

rare hemlock
# dense plover such as?

such as the plethora of zone-specific items that people forget about and never use for the past several expansions

dense plover
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

most toys arent in or tested yet

rare hemlock
#

bad trend that began after Wrath when Devs got tired of having to balance toys that could be used everywhere

silent urchin
#

I've seen a couple, most things like that seem to be duration limited to one of the zone events though

austere gazelle
rain cave
#

love reading new trinkets

dense plover
#

is it weird that i think brackenhide is going to be one of the most popular dungeons?

#

it reminds me of wrath dungeons

#

aesthetically, and design-wise

cunning fossil
#

Not at all, I love the look of brackenhide!

#

And it looks like you have a bit of route variety after the 1st boss

dense plover
#

yeah - people are saying its boring but i think its just a bit simpler

#

and i think thats okay

ionic terrace
#

peach did you ever get in?

dense plover
#

i cant get my 1000 bug reports

#

Is anyone else unable to select talents in one's talent tree on the Dragonflight Beta?

dense plover
#

try relogging

#

might not work but it can sometimes i think

hoary cedar

I see. Hm.

#

If priests are going to be available for all the races then will they come to hm taurens ?

livid walrus
#

inner child doesnt work on dracthyr just yet

silent urchin
dense plover
#

what are these? a toy?

silent urchin
#

That one in particular is from a level 70 questing zone that drops a lot of torghast style powers that last a few minutes or until you leave

#

Specifically the cobalt assembly in the azure span. I think the elemental invasions have a similar thing but I don't know if they have this specific power

dense plover
#

cool

The single frame of kalec face

lone fern
#

I've uploaded data already but the client is still saying its not uploaded everything, is this intended/a display issue? persists when restarting it

ember blaze
#

any new builds? 🤔

silent urchin
#

Not yet, not even 9am on west coast

dense plover
ionic terrace
#

i'm thinking ptr today tbh

#

but we'll see

#

though it'll need to be a build with fixed talents

#

otherwise rip

silent urchin
#

Mines managed to get into a state where the talents page thinks I have no talents, but everything still works

dense plover
ionic terrace
#

mmm

dense plover
#

They probably want to have classes a bit more settled

nocturne totem
deep pawn
#

Dracthyr don't have children they're just made as far as we know right

upper pasture
#

make them be little drakes like during the Neltharion fight

uncut vault
#

But so are half of wows races so it’s probably still possible eventually

plain violet
#

I wonder if we will see the creation of one.

deep pawn
#

blue posts starting

#

For those that need or want a quieter full screen effect for max speed, the accessibility option “Alternate Full Screen Effects” now lessens the dragonriding max speed effect. Please try this out and share your feedback.

#

HELL YES

silent urchin
#

I think it already has some effect

#

i'd like it to be a separate option, though

#

the fov changes are a bit much but I don't want to turn everything else off

deep pawn
#

it is a separate option

#

or well will be in the next b uild

dense plover
#

Now we wait to see if the build is today or not

#

My initial guess is No since it doesn’t say todays build in any of the blue posts, just upcoming build

mossy sapphire
#

Do we know if Dracthyr will have a set of Torghast powers, Covenant Soulbinds, legendaries etc? Presumably there will be 2-4 weeks of them in pre-patch outside the Dragon Isles, plus leveling after (for the legendaries), unless they leave the starter zone with a gear advantage.

silent urchin
#

I believe evoker torghast powers exist

#

I'm not sure soulbinds will still be active after pre-patch

#

or most legendaries

dense plover
#

They’re active within the shadowlands

#

But I don’t believe Evokers have anything other than the universal legendaries and the covenant powers

#

They do have torghast powers

deep pawn
#

yeah, evoker will have a generic conduit ability and legendary

ionic terrace
#

realms still up? just wondering

upper pasture
#

yeh

ionic terrace
#

ah well

silent urchin
#

they can come down at pretty short notice, but it was labour day yesterday so far less likely there's a build today

ionic terrace
#

yeah

#

speak of the devil

#

so no build but a talent hotfix

ember blaze
#

😎 when you get a blizzard reply

ionic terrace
silent urchin
#

I got the drake hat a few times when the servers had like 30s of lag on launch day, I kinda hope it ends up as a toy somewhere

deep pawn
#

I wasn't expecting a build at all today, had copium for one

uncut lintel
#

DRAKE HATS WOULD BE CUTE THO

#

A LIL DRAGON ON UR HEAD

#

A TOP HAT WITH WINGS OR SMTH IDK

silent urchin
#

doing the full 15 minute countdown it seems, though

silent urchin
#

seems like talents might be behaving better, mines still a little confused

reef magnet
#

i opted in on beta why havent i got a beta key yet i have a pretty good pc

upper pasture
#

cause that's just not how it works. it's like a lottery

reef magnet
#

its a rigged one

silent urchin
#

Very few people have access. We do not know what blizz uses as their criteria to give access.

reef magnet
#

just like there loot system is even more rigged this season

silent urchin
#

I suspect that how old your account is, whether you're actively subscribed, and your history of participating/reporting bugs all play a part. But I can't really prove any of that.

reef magnet
#

i started playing at the end wod

ionic terrace
#

offline, I mean

#

so... maybe?

upper pasture
#

didn't they just make a post about them going offline for an update?

#

ionic terrace
#

Nah PTR, not Beta

upper pasture
#

ah

#

9.2.7.45161

#

still offline tho

ionic terrace
#

Nah, I mean the realms themselves

#

I believe there was a way to check what build the offline realms were on, but don't think you can anymore

thursday waiting room

nay, have hope, Wednesday

#

One thing I'm definitely finding difficult with dragonriding is landing precisely on gathering nodes

#

especially all the ones blizz have decided belong in the side of a cliff

dense plover

I do find the idea of having to find a more suitable landing spaces and trek a bit for specifics

here's hoping for build soon

Oh oh.

#

Comments within 2 minutes oh each other on the fel hunter change

#

Literally what do they do

#

Personally I'm Against the spell lock being only on the Fel Hunter

silent urchin
#

I saw people in game talking about it before the post, saying it seemed excessive when combined with the felguard

cunning fossil
#

That's a demo exclusive "Problem"

#

And even then just make it so that Demo only has a stun or something on Fel guRd

#

Like it really isn't an issue IMO

silent urchin
#

True, I mostly just meant it as an example of clearly not just blizz taking away "fun"

cunning fossil
#

Oh i getcha

deep pawn
#

Blizzard loves making unpopular changes in the name of "17 year old class identity"

maybe build

World of Warcraft Forums

Hey there Boomkins, We are working on the next iteration of the Balance talent tree along with some baseline changes that you should see in the coming weeks. Players will see some of our changes in next week’s build, but the full suite of changes will not be in the Beta until the following week. That said, we want to give you a quick preview in...

ionic terrace
#

retail build...

deep pawn
#

live just updated haha

#

that matched the ptr build number right?

ionic terrace
#

?

#

no it's a new build

#

hotfix one

dense plover
#

Holy shit

#

Balance changes

#

Weird ones

#

I kinda liked the rotating eclipse but I’m not against a return to the old

silent urchin
#

I feel like this used to be the mastery ages and ages ago

dense plover
#

Starsurge just being damage is a bit lame

#

But the starfall changes are amazing

#

I’m honestly hoping stuff gets moved around too. This sounds like it could be amazing

#

Just get rid of or move improved star fall so it isn’t blocking the stuff I like

#

Put it off to the side or something

#

Or ditch it because it’s trash

#

Honestly just these changes are great

deep pawn
#

Eclipse alternating gone for the first time since what, Wrath?

dense plover
#

I think it was mop when they changed it

#

But I’m not sure

silent urchin
#

I assume there will be associated talent tree changes

dense plover
#

Oh for sure

silent urchin
#

feel like everytime they improve a talent tree they cut down on the amount of nodes too

dense plover
#

That’s a huge change but it’s also the version people liked more because it gave you more control

#

Solar is faster but lower damage, lunar is slower but higher damage

#

Having full control of that could make boomkin much stronger in endgame content

#

Also the page says we will have to wait 2 more weeks to see the full implementation which is uh

#

That’s slow

#

I have to assume some base class tree changes are also coming

#

Now they just need to work on monk class tree

#

And maybe brew tree

ionic terrace
#

vendor build

stoic blaze
#

what

deep pawn
#

Brew is fine

#

don't touch brew that much

#

unless it's remove niuzao rank 2

#

feels like this post was written last week

#

surely they can't mean we won't see any of this until next Wednesday and then another further week

#

we're only 3 weeks from a have to be up ptr

#

Max got a message that beta should be up tonight, woo

ionic terrace
#

should

#

nah jk, i'm sure it will be soon

#

tho i'm a bit more interested in whatever they are doing with ptr

uncut vault
#

I think BfA was the only xpac since it got added that it wasnt changed

dense plover
#

Nearly 90% of our talents are just getting our base abilities back across both trees

#

It’s so shit compared to DH

#

DH is fucking fantastic and brew is definitively mediocre

ionic terrace
#

i am also boring

deep pawn
#

You will not take breath of fire being relevant from me!

#

I'm getting exploding keg back and I get to choose kyrian or Necro depending on tuning

dense plover
#

Instead of 3-4 talents just to get fortifying brew as it currently is

#

Or 4 talents for all of my passive mitigation

deep pawn
#

Sure, rework the class tree but fort brew as it is is probably skippable

dense plover
deep pawn
#

I wouldn't turn down paralysis being made baseline

dense plover
#

Paralysis won’t be baseline

#

It fits into the class tree for a reason

#

But fort brew is 4 different talents for existing functionality

#

I can’t think of any other class that has that problem

deep pawn
#

it's 3?

#

at best?

#

At lets you customize the cd some

#

But right now no BrM is taking the increased stagger and the hp and cdr is eh...

#

BrMs are taking it to get expel harm

ionic terrace
#

👁️

#

there it is

#

build

#

for ptr

#

@dense plover

#

i saw

#

im finally gonna get to try the class changes

at least ill get SOME reports in

even if my usual spat of terrain glitches will be missed

unless i get into beta today

World of Warcraft Version 10.0.0 PTR – Dragonflight Pre-Expansion Patch This Public Test Realm (PTR) is a testing environment for the content coming with the Dragonflight Pre-Expansion Patch update. To see full details on what’s in the current build, please visit the Dragonflight Beta Development Notes thread. Dragonflight Pre-Expansion Patch...

means we will probably see a dragonflight beta development notes post soon

Looks like no prepatch content testing just yet, sadly

#

but glad more folks cna get access now

feral vale
#

ho god

ionic terrace
#

gotta wait for realms now

silent urchin
#

beta still doesn't have the patch

#

so might be a bit

#

Assuming they still do the thing where PTR and beta share the same realms

deep pawn
#

10.0 ptr

uncut lintel
#

oh shit

#

ptr

#

i wonder whats on pre patch

#

cool dragon take over the cities >: O

deep pawn
#

this 100% confirms the release dates

#

We've never had a pre-patch more than 2 months

uncut lintel
#

i mean

#

the event

#

theres allways event on pre patch

#

like shadowlands

tribal sand
#

no event right now as it seems

uncut lintel
#

and bfa

#

: (

#

big sad

ionic terrace
#

realms up

uncut lintel
#

also no evoker on pre patch wot?

ionic terrace
#

nope

pulsar minnow
#

New classes have never been on ptr builds

ionic terrace
#

as far as i can see

uncut vault
#

theyre probably just not looking for evoker testing from the wider audience right now

uncut lintel
#

oh

pulsar minnow
#

DH wasn't available on PTR either

ionic terrace
#

lmao

uncut lintel
#

i hope evoker playable on retail release

deep pawn
#

it'll be with prepatch

#

they said that already

uncut lintel
#

oh ok

pulsar minnow
#

ye prepatch just not ptr testing

uncut lintel
#

i just want to hurry up and get out of shitlands

pulsar minnow
#

I'm praying to the Blizz Gods that maybe I get beta this build so I can start testing Evoker and Dragonriding

uncut lintel
#

i thought sending out beta invites were over with

silent urchin
#

no one knows, really

uncut lintel
#

oh

ionic terrace
#

o

#

DI on the map

#

it's in the same place

tribal sand
#

wasn't this known for a few weeks now?

pulsar minnow
#

I don't know how to feel about it being represented as big as the Broken Isles when it's bigger than Northerend in-game. I kinda dont like it

silent urchin
#

sort of

ionic terrace
#

it was semi yeah

silent urchin
#

first time we've seen the map art, at least

uncut lintel
#

why dont they just make the map bigger

deep pawn
#

All ranged spell casting and healing specializations have a new PvP Talent:
New PvP Talent: Precognition – If an interrupt is used on you while you are not casting, gain 15% Haste and become immune to control effects for 4 seconds.

#

interesting

#

but yeah, this basically confirms the release schedule.

tribal sand
#

the new player frame is on the ptr now

#

boss frames are now moveable

uncut lintel
#

wow

ionic terrace
#

wow

tribal sand
#

seems like no changes from last weeks beta build to ptr, at least on monk and mage

dense plover
#

so wait

#

you cant try evoker

ionic terrace
#

no

dense plover
#

theres no new content

tribal sand
#

no

dense plover
#

wtf do i even test>

pulsar minnow
#

Talents ig

deep pawn
#

you can never test new classes on ptr

ionic terrace
#

class

dense plover
#

yeah but how do i test it?

tribal sand
#

just talent trees with level 60 so not even full trees

dense plover
#

theres no content to do

deep pawn
#

you can test talents and how current stuff works in Shadowlands content

#

since that's what we'll be doing for the pre-patch

dense plover
tribal sand
#

and mythic 0 and mythic +

dense plover
#

i cant even finish ZM - its fucking awful

#

the story is SO shit

deep pawn
#

I'm gonna go see how broken mage tower is if it even works

silent urchin
#

wait til you see how long the fucking rep grind for zm takes

dense plover
#

i literally stopped after trying for a bit

uncut lintel
#

jk

dense plover
#

wrath classic is more fun

uncut lintel
#

i have no reason play ptr

#

gonna main evoker not druid

tribal sand
#

weird that there is no pre patch event testable

silent urchin
#

What's really stood out to me story wise is the side quests in dragonflight. Lots of really good, short questlines. The main campaign is decent but still feels like it suffers from the "Ok now wait 6 months to find out the next bit" issue, but it's still a nice, fresh start with little bullshit hanging over it

uncut lintel
#

maybe there is no event GASP

tribal sand
#

i mean there is not even an event at the start of dragonflight like in bfa with stormwind or broken shore with legion

uncut lintel
#

they chose s4 over pre patch event

pulsar minnow
#

There is an event

errant prairie
#

D:

silent urchin
#

there's definitely some sort of event, you meet a drac'thyr during the dragonflight intro questline who already knows everyone

pulsar minnow
#

It's a bunch of elemental invasions in different zones but we don't have a lot of details on it

uncut lintel
#

< . <

errant prairie
#

It might be the same system as elemental storms from DF imo, but hopefully it'll start soon/tomorrow

rain cave
#

the prepatch event is uldaman isn't it

errant prairie
#

Uldaman is part of it.

deep pawn
#

so the ptr has old priest talents but a ton of other new changes?

uncut vault
#

bunch of suspicious minimap updates to silverpine and tirisfal

uncut lintel
#

< . <

#

show

uncut vault
#

nothing actuall physically changed yet haha, but just a bunch of modifications

silent urchin
#

it's kinda hard to make sense of the minimap parts

dense plover
#

mage changes are so important - POLYMORPH DUCK

uncut lintel
#

WHAT

#

R U REAL

dense plover
#

the new polymorph thing specifically says duck

#

so its probably a new glyph

ionic terrace
#

man

charred gyro
#

The waking shore is supposed to be where Karanos stood watch in the cinematic, right?

dense plover
#

i hate this ui

#

wtf

#

why is my stuff on the bottom

#

why are the bars all on top of each other

tropic trail
#

The only important question about mage

dense plover
#

gah

tropic trail
#

Does Glacial Spike suck

tribal sand
dense plover
#

well - i do like how the changes are very much like FFXIV

#

thats nice

#

wait

#

you cant edit the quest tracker or bag stuff?

silent urchin
#

I think that may be coming later

tribal sand
#

not (yet)

ionic terrace
#

my bag textures are messed up kek

tropic trail
#

Icy Propulsion still exists

#

And the other talents to boost IV

dense plover
#

theres no grid snap option either

tropic trail
#

So GS basically by default cannot out compete it

tribal sand
dense plover
#

fuck

#

no grid snap makes this fucking unusable

#

wtf

#

why have a grid

mossy meteor
#

damn

#

found my first bug

tribal sand
#

just give them feedback and maybe they implement this, but i guess not tbh

mossy meteor
#

i cant select any of the bottom talents

ionic terrace
#

you need to spend more

#

same thing happened to me

dense plover
mossy meteor
#

ugh

dense plover
#

just bug reports

silent urchin
#

there should be a clear marker saying how many more talents are needed to be selected

tribal sand
#

oh true

#

wtf

silent urchin
#

that was working on beta

#

At least for DK

ionic terrace
#

heh

tribal sand
#

there only is for the 8 points right now

ionic terrace
tribal sand
#

probably a bug, except they changed the whole tree system

mossy meteor
#

there is a clear marker on the spec tree

#

anyway

#

i hate this class tree build that i went

silent urchin
#

Portal is still under construction? Ugh, the boat is so goddamn janky

tribal sand
#

a 2nd marker is visible after you spent some points

mossy meteor
#

see

silent urchin
#

Yeah they should both show from the start, at least they did on beta

mossy meteor
#

and i couldnt see it

tribal sand
tribal sand
silent urchin
#

ohno

dense plover
#

im up to 7 bug reports

deep pawn

eww, bags are really messed up

#

even with no addons

different build

deep pawn
#

isn't there a default way in game to combine bags?

silent urchin
#

Yeah, there's an option for it

deep pawn
#

in edit or where?

crimson jasper
#

was there a new wave?

deep pawn
#

nah, he's in ptr

crimson jasper
#

ahhh

cunning fossil
#

OH MT GOD OH MY GOD

ionic terrace
#

what

cunning fossil
#

I can't wait to try it all out tomorrow

#

I wanna check our all the new dope shit

ionic terrace
#

😄

crimson jasper
#

DF isnt on ptr yet is it?

deep pawn
#

it is

#

well, not the expansion zones, but the ptr patch

zealous basalt
#

maan

obtuse vine
#

pretty much the new ui and talent trees are in

zealous basalt
#

this UI is cleean

deep pawn
#

okay, so it's click the bag icon, but man it's bugged looking

dense plover
#

this is interesting - instead of percentages, the talent actively updates to show specific amounts

deep pawn
#

I do like the UI, it's a bit smaller than I'm used to but I'm sure you can adjust

silent urchin
#

you can drag any spells out of the talent tree too

#

I think in theory you can cast them from it

ionic terrace
#

oho

zealous basalt
#

dis is for beta me imagine

ionic terrace
#

yeah

dense plover
#

lvl 60 is actually pretty good

obtuse vine
dense plover
#

it definitely feels better ingame than on wowhead

#

still dont like that i have so many talents for some existing abilities

#

im still hoping they do another beta wave and i get in finally

deep pawn
silent urchin
#

oh excellent I've lost my basic dragon riding abilities

dense plover
#

this menu is fucking huge

ionic terrace
#

TEMP

dense plover
#

it honestly has way too much empty space

deep pawn
#

oh snap, they did disable mage tower

#

crap

silent urchin
#

nbm relogging brought them back

dense plover
deep pawn
#

I guess I gotta get my book mount asap

upper pasture
#

its not disabled on beta tho

deep pawn
#

they need to turn on some snapping to the grid

#

or is that an option

upper pasture
#

well...it wasn't disabled in a earlier build i should say i haven't checked since yesterday?

silent urchin
#

ooh there's a new loot window

crimson jasper
#

is Evoker in too?

ionic terrace
#

no

crimson jasper
#

awww

zealous basalt
#

If evoker was there

#

oboi

#

the server wouldn't last

dense plover
#

lol brew leggo and talent stack - 3 charges of keg smash!

#

and it stopped stacking

#

thats weird

mossy meteor
#

Oh

#

That makes me wonder if wildfire infusion leggo and new talent work

#

Together

silent urchin
#

Leggo will go legacy while leveling up anyway

mossy meteor
#

Yeah I'm aware

#

But I forgot to check now

#

Got dcd a few times while settling up the ui

dense plover
#

think this is new - maw isnt yellow normally right?

uncut vault
#

its an occasional texture bug thath appens there when they fiddle

#

happened a few times in shadowlands ptr

ionic terrace
#

yello

uncut vault
#

Kalecgos got recast too, it seems

mossy meteor
#

Boy got a shiny new model and a new voice

cunning fossil
#

Y'all need to wait for me to get on before you play

#

/s

uncut vault
#

Alexstrasza is her same voice actor, thankfully

dense plover
#

wow

#

cant even test torghast

#

cool

heavy sage
#

man I have no diea how to make a build with these new talents lmao

#

idea*

dense plover
#

best solo testing environment fully unavailable

#

fucking genius

mossy meteor
#

Wait why not peach

dense plover
#

it wont let me queue

mossy meteor
#

Hmm

dense plover
#

im clicking the button

#

nothing happensw

mossy meteor
#

Rip

#

Probably broken

heavy sage
#

I swear this ptr is literally nothing but

#

hey guys

#

new ui

#

new talents

mossy meteor
#

I love the new ui

dense plover
#

im done - theres literally no way to test anything solo

heavy sage
#

thats it, you can't test your build on anything cuz everythings unavaliable, nor can you test evoker, why? because fuck you, you don't get an inv to the beta

dense plover
#

its fucking worthless without grid snapping

mossy meteor
#

I don't care about that

deep pawn
#

Yeah, ui needs grid snapping

dense plover
#

im not going to spend 2 hours customizing so that my bars still end up 1 pixel off

mossy meteor
#

I won't change the position of anything

heavy sage
#

if u move the right two bars btw the quest area goes agaisnt the border

dense plover
#

i cant even like - manually input bar coordinates

heavy sage
#

idk if u can move where quests go

dense plover
#

its so mediocre

heavy sage
#

but u cant move them up a bit if u make them smaller

dense plover
#

and some of the UI is huge and empty

#

others are cramped

heavy sage
#

agreed

dense plover
#

until i can actually test some solo content, im done'

#

its worthless unless you want to try to random queue

heavy sage
#

man I just wanted evoker

#

Idek how to make a talent build

dense plover
#

and i definitely dont want to random queue on PTR

heavy sage
cunning fossil
#

Binding Shot’s root effect can now break from taking damage.

#

Blizzard gives ans takes away

silent urchin
uncut vault
#

It's a feedback button on beta, but it's been just that on ptr since 9.2.5 atl east

silent urchin
#

this is from beta

#

Seems to be a hell of a lot more NPCs around, lots of references and stuff too

uncut vault
#

wonder what these are for

upper pasture
#

wonder if it's something for some priest changes?

uncut lintel
#

hahaha they are purple ghost and yello bananas

ivory meadow
uncut vault
cunning fossil
#

Awesome

cunning fossil
glass flicker
#

Oh duck, he's going to poly all of us. Quickly, reroll to Druid.

cunning fossil
#

Something similar to the Taran Zhu fight

#

They look way to complex for it to be new Class UI right?

glass flicker
#

Dunno, some kinda look like warlock shards to me.

#

It would be disappointing to get a whole new UI with nothing class specific, wouldn't it?

cunning fossil
#

Hmm that is true

#

While you're right, why SO MANY?

glass flicker
#

Why so many? Is that a joke?

cunning fossil
#

Like there's at least 5 different versions of Holy Power and Soul Shard graphics here

glass flicker
#

Gradients for them appearing and disappearing when used. Maybe.

cunning fossil
#

Perhaps

zealous basalt
#

The first one

cunning fossil
#

Ah ah

zealous basalt
#

Looks like Paladin Holy power

cunning fossil
#

You're probably right ye

glass flicker
#

There's a lot that goes on behind the scenes that we don't know.

cunning fossil
#

True yeah

#

That makes sense

#

Particularly interested with Warlock Soul Shards though

glass flicker
#

Yeah?

cunning fossil
#

Since those 100% have distinct types

#

The Jewel look

#

Then the soul look

glass flicker
#

Specs?

cunning fossil
#

And then the seed looking version

#

Oh yeah I forgot if they look different per spec

glass flicker
#

They do.

#

So maybe the one that looks like a face is for affliction, the runes for demonology and the shards for destro.

#

Just a theory. Put on your tinfoil hat.

#

Or, here's a better one. Maybe they're just concept designs that went unused.

#

And we've still to see the real ones.

ember blaze
#

isnt there a chance it could be for shadow

glass flicker
#

Could be.

ember blaze
#

cause theyre bringing back shadow orbs or whatever

glass flicker
#

But I think lock is more likely.

#

This one does look like Holy Power for paladins, though.

#

Even the shape of the plate is similar.

#

So they'd put three of the random runes to fill it in. And slap another plate on bottom to make it five.

#

The bottom left corner looks like the depleted Holy Power.

upper pasture
#

Yeah, it does look like holy power.

glass flicker
#

Makes me wonder if they'll do new UI for combo points as well. Since they were last updated in Legion, and Shadowlands added a new element to it as well with the Kyrian ability.

#

Animacharges.

#

They should, right?

ember blaze
#

oh the priest talents are out

uncut vault
#

enchants are much more high quality this xpac, they finally learned how to fully isolate them to the blade

glass flicker
#

Oh, it's a gif file. I was wondering why it takes so long to load.

#

Looks awesome.

cunning fossil
#

Ooooh that-@

#

That looks great

uncut vault
glass flicker
#

Hey, it's true. Wrathion does love his cloaks and other back ornaments.

#

Cata: gives rogues daggers that summon wings.
MoP: gives players legendary cloaks
BfA: gives players a backpack and a legendary cloak

#

If Wrathion doesn't give us a cloak in Dragonflight, I will be disappointed.

#

Imagine if every quest reward from Wrathion in Dragonflight will be a cloak.

deep pawn
#

If mage tower is going away and not coming back for a while blizzard really needs to tell people soon

dense plover
#

but if they cant get it ready, thats when theyll make the announcement

#

remember on PTR, its not just mage tower

#

torghast also isnt working

deep pawn
#

We'll see.

uncut vault
#

funny bug, coordinated assault currently considers the pet as the player instead of you lol

zealous basalt
#

So

#

apparently one friend was able to get to drakthyr in the ptr

#

by doing some crazy trick of getting in while he was dowloading it

#

at 5% and you had to be in a new realm

crimson jasper
#

sounds kinda made up xd

zealous basalt
#

he said that they look better than in the dressing room

crimson jasper
#

could be a ss from beta no?

#

I dont really believe that you need to "login at 5% downbload left" xD

#

maybe also enter some cheat code on your gameplad?

#

tbf hey, if thhey are on ptr all the ebtter

zealous basalt
#

maybe, although this seems more like it

crimson jasper
#

should get them soon then

zealous basalt
#

you know considering how the client is

glass flicker
#

Wait, there's going to be an achievement for unlocking Dracthyr?

#

Someone must have been smoking crackthyr.

zealous basalt
#

maybe you can just keep going on "create character" wtih hopes of getting it

crimson jasper
#

wasnt it the "you gotta have a chara at lvl X"

#

just like with DK's

zealous basalt
#

I think it's just a safe

crimson jasper
#

cause hey even if it isnt a safe

#

it's an achievement to reach lvl 60

#

so

zealous basalt
#

wasnt it at level 50

crimson jasper
#

dont they start at 58?

glass flicker
#

Imagine a newbie just boosting a random character to play Dracthyr.

#

I already see it.

crimson jasper
#

so 60 weould make more sense

#

oh boy xD

#

yea thats gonna be fun

#

lotsa trash dracs gonna be around xD

#

what achi dont you get for boosting

#

that could lock them?

#

so that it prevents boost -> Evoker

zealous basalt
#

Yeah its minimal of 50

crimson jasper
#

I never considered

glass flicker
#

You can copy your character, right?

crimson jasper
#

can a fully fresh account even just buy a boost?

zealous basalt
#

I mean

glass flicker
zealous basalt
#

It was the same with the demon hunters

#

Since it came with the expac

crimson jasper
#

ehhhm

glass flicker
#

Yeah.

zealous basalt
#

You could be new and buy the boost

crimson jasper
#

they should really lock that for new accounts imo

zealous basalt
#

Nah

crimson jasper
#

also yea it is infact a lvl 60 boost

#

I dont know what to use it on cause I have all classes lol

zealous basalt
#

It's dumb if they do, if people get interested for dracthyr and are new they are in the right to get the game, boost and get dracthyr

livid walrus
crimson jasper
#

ofc

#

but it also kinda

#

ya know

zealous basalt
#

I mean obviously, they may suck

crimson jasper
#

yea

#

exactly xd

zealous basalt
#

but no one is an expert and the game tells you at the beggining

crimson jasper
zealous basalt
#

"R u sure you want to play a hero class"

crimson jasper
#

I mean

#

you think 2IQ Jimmy will admit he isnt good enough? xD

#

but alas

#

it is how it is

glass flicker
#

Does the "This is a hero class" message still pop up when making a Dracthyr?

zealous basalt
#

No need to gatekeep

crimson jasper
#

I hope people are patient enough to teach

#

it sais "advanced class" still I think

glass flicker
#

Heh.

zealous basalt
#

Do you forget death knoobs

glass flicker
#

"You gotta hold buttons down, fool!"

zealous basalt
#

did you*

glass flicker
#

I can't wait to see how lag interferes with the Empowered mechanic.

#

Especially server lag on day one.

crimson jasper
#

well maybe the push once to cast push again to release

#

will help with that

crimson jasper
#

tbf, nothing helps against lag

glass flicker
crimson jasper
#

wow community is harsh to say the least if you make a mistake xD

glass flicker
#

I would gatekeep newbies from playing something advanced until they learned something simpler, tbh.

crimson jasper
#

I can already see the "furry/scalie I eff your mom alt f4 uninstall"

glass flicker
#

You're thrown into this world of talents and systems without a tutorial.

crimson jasper
#

when they dont know how to play

#

yea

#

I think there should be a "hall of noobies"

#

or something

glass flicker
#

Yeah.

crimson jasper
#

you gotta pass xD

ember blaze
#

devastation is pretty simple

glass flicker
#

Just do the tutorial and learn how to git gud. Then you can be thrown into the World of Systems™

crimson jasper
#

yea having a lvl 58 char tho with all the talents isnt

#

I mean I sometimes watch people "play wow first time"

#

when I have the chance

#

it's stunning how

#

well

#

bad they are

#

which ofc is fine

#

they are new

#

but if you cant juggle 2 spells

#

what about a insta lvl 58 chara xD

ember blaze
glass flicker
#

Exactly.

ember blaze
#

a new player cant instantly make a DH or DK.

crimson jasper
#

aye

#

no

glass flicker
#

But newbies still get a boost.

crimson jasper
#

but they can insta boost

#

and then do it

glass flicker
#

Yeah.

ember blaze
#

you gotta go through the tutorial

#

first

glass flicker
#

On the ship.

ember blaze
#

i think that will be just a very tiny minority

glass flicker
#

Which only shows you some basic DPS moves and a spec CD.

crimson jasper
#

tbf, does this tutorial actually teach you how your boosted class plays?

glass flicker
#

That's literally it.

crimson jasper
#

yeap

#

heres fireball your filler

#

then use fireblast on cd

glass flicker
#

It doesn't show you talents, or how to interrupt, or even how CC works.

crimson jasper
#

bam tutorial done

#

xD

ember blaze
#

1-10 tutorial could use all of that

zealous basalt
#

The same was said about Demon hunter and it wasn't the most complex class or spec

glass flicker
#

It's still not.

crimson jasper
#

as simple as voker is

glass flicker
#

3 buttons go brrrr.

crimson jasper
#

it atleast has more than 3 buttons xD

ember blaze
#

devastation will be easy to pick up for people

crimson jasper
#

hahaha

ember blaze
#

healer is probably the one that is going to be hard to play

glass flicker
#

Havoc DH:
Demon's Bite
Chaos Strike
Metamorphosis on bosses
Eye Beam when you have it.

#

Pick Demonic and you don't even need Meta.

#

3 buttons.

#

Or pick Demon Blades and auto attack for your resource.

crimson jasper
#

if anything, I dont get mad at new poeple

#

I enjoy helping out

glass flicker
#

DH was just bottom of the crater easy.

crimson jasper
#

BUT I get angry when those people are boosted and then q up for my pug hc weekly clear

#

least it feels like 70% of players hagve no idea wtf is going on

glass flicker
#

I like seeing dummy death knights who taunt in dungeons because Death Strike is cool.

crimson jasper
#

xD

#

death strike IS cool tho

#

I guess?

glass flicker
#

Yes.

crimson jasper
#

it's death

#

and bloody

#

edgy

#

yea

#

cool enough

glass flicker
#

But they taunt only to get hurt so they can heal back up.

crimson jasper
#

DK's should have gotten Karma

glass flicker
#

Nuh.

#

Mine.

crimson jasper
#

old "I gain dps karma"

#

oh a monk?

#

interesting

#

what spec you play?^^

glass flicker
#

I flex.

#

But my main is arms warrior.

crimson jasper
#

uh arms, I always liked arms

#

I like that wrrior trees have changing talents when they swap spec in ther class tree

#

I wonder if other classes will get that treatment

livid walrus
#

this.. is.. horrendous

crimson jasper
#

lol

#

people 100% will want that as transmog xd

glass flicker
#

Bladestorm + Ravager go brrrr.

#

Now imagine the same combo with Spear of Bastion.

crimson jasper
#

explodes all the packs

glass flicker
#

And Warbreaker on the side for that extra juicy 35% damage.

#

Blizzard is a party pooper for making Ravager replace Bladestorm.

ember blaze
#

so looks like we're getting new int weapons

#

instead of these being just transmog for evokers

glass flicker
#

Nice. Something else warriors can't reliably roll for. Paladins, eh?

ember blaze
#

holy cant use 2h i dont think

noble pulsar
#

Hi everyone, just leaving this here, too, because I'm curious af 😬
I'd be so happy if it wouldn't be "dark" all the time while RPing in Suramar if this device worked like I hope it would... 🤞

https://twitter.com/The_Solista/status/1567754733913268227?s=20&t=JDmSktr3PZ3G_5TXGXnbKw

So, uhm, anyone with beta access around who tested the Environmental Emulator in Suramar, maybe?
Would love to see for RP purposes what happens in Suramar if you use it with the "Peaceful Day" skybox. 😊
Anyone have a screenie, maybe...? ☺️

https://t.co/NjSF84CB3t via @Wowhead

ember blaze
#

id give that a try, but that item doesnt look easy to get

#

and you gotta train all the way to 50 which would require me to farm materials

#

since theres no vendors

noble pulsar
#

ugh yikes, okay.. makes sense it's an "expensive" one tho
thank you anyways for the thought of it :)

[The Silver Hand]

#

Bot's still down.

plain violet
#

Silver hand is effectively a 2h mass and a book.

glass flicker
#

Yup.

plain violet
#

(2h in one hand, off hand in the other)

glass flicker
#

What?

#

No, it's a 2H mace with no offhand.

#

The book on the belt is ornamental.

#

You can even mog into it on Ret. It's weird that it uses polearm animations, though.

#

My character trying to stab with a hammer be like.

Oh, oh wow

livid walrus

some of the youngs that grow older

uncut vault
#

first proper character sign of the time skip

#

bigger than just a character going "Several years have passed" haha

livid walrus
#

oh right XD

plain violet
#

But it was removed after.

glass flicker
#

It's just the belt attachment.

plain violet
#

That was, as you can see, a off hand slot attached to the weapon.

#

Being removed after, when the mass was changed from 1h to 2h (that does explain my memories)

livid walrus
#

Do you remember the gnome with the druid set in sw? now on horde side there is this npc :

ember blaze
#

can you explain?

tribal sand
#

did they remove the feedback button on beta and the option to report herbs -.-'

livid walrus
#

there was this npc added in former build in sw near the new stable in SW.

#

now they added this one in the org new stables

#

@ember blaze

ember blaze
#

yeah but like what are their significance

ember blaze
livid walrus
#

we dont know much , beside giving more 'life' to those locations

#

they changed her into rouge like gear now

#

@terse plank @uncut vault

#

they added 'portal' npcs too

glass flicker
#

Rouge is red. Rogue is stabby.

tribal sand
#

oh they changed some things with the xp

livid walrus
#

added alliance dock master

#

also has timer till the ship will arrive

livid walrus
#

something strange in the sky

terse plank
crystal pond
#

Game code going crazy

terse plank
#

could be broken texture or memory corruption/mixup, probably the latter. doesn't look harmful otherwise

livid walrus
#

yea nothing hamful just movefrom location to location too fast maybe

lilac compass
#

How does one get access to the PTR? Do I have to have DF expansion bought?

ember blaze
#

@lilac compassjust download it

I don't see the option though,

something is wrong and it kills my cpu and memory

tropic trail

If it's not there, restart

doesn't seem to pop up, I'll try to restart pc later and check, ty for the help though

ik what dala is

#

@cinder sable i am going to check this one with my lock. this one has gadazman reputaion

rain cave
#

but why is there a new npc in legion dalaran

livid walrus
crystal pond
#

Probably they testing some thing and then gonna move dalaran to dragon isles

rain cave
#

they aren't moving dala to the dragon isles

#

at least not for launch

crystal pond
#

Cause kirin tor feels weird without their flying city around

rain cave
#

it could just be they're holding a bunch of class questlines perhaps?

#

for launch

#

since they teased there's a lot of hidden content

crystal pond
#

Gonna see on launch
There alot encrypted stuff so cant tell for sure

rain cave
#

I'd love it if every class gets a questline for a dragon + class themed weapon

crystal pond
#

Still wonder why they removed wrathion model when it was look like its ready
