The swiftmend bugs been around for a couple weeks but I've never been able to replicate
Wait
Afterlives/Warbringers was droped before pre-patch or in pre-patch?
I think i remember the Bastion Afterlives happened before prepatch
Like they were the weekly countdown to prepatch
Yeah I think the bastion one was super early
Man
Now I pray for New animations to drop soon 😔
To make hype then they were like hot damn we’re gonna have more of these coming the weeks before launch
Prepatch for shadwlands was in Oct 13 if im not wrong and the Bastion Afterlives was on August 27th
The cinematics are also a good watch. At least to me
They are
I hope it will be animations about aspects and dragons before all go shit
Very much looking forward to them/it
Do we have any idea how many of them there will be? I assume 4.
Atm its 3
Maybe one? Maybe one for each flight
I just wish they could give us a trailer like they did for Afterlives, to at least let us know they are coming
maybe next week though
honestly i think the right move would be to do one for each flight no? like start with red and end on black or maybe bronze.
Asked about it on the Forums and several other people are having the same issue so.. No.
I loved the Harbingers cinematics for Legion. Especially the Gul'dan one 
is it easier to do mythic+ on a melee dps or ranged dps?
who has to avoid mechanics more?
I feel like Melee tends to have to avoid stuff more often then Ranged, but.. Melee DPS here so might be biased.
https://eu.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/fishing-artifact-bugs/393182 some issues i found with the Fishing Artifact
Hello, Due to an issue with reporting in this build, I will list here some of the bugs I encounter with the Fishing artifact. While the fishing pole is equipped at the new fishing tool placement Surface Tension doesn’t work. You can’t interact with Underlight Pearl. There is no Artifact power bar anymore. You are no longer able to f...
anotehr broken ui.
Heart of Azeroth is now not dormant while being in dragon isles.
nvm
So hows transmog work on dracthyr? Say I wanna hide gear shoulder pieces in dracthyr form, are they now hidden in visage as well or are there seperate loadouts for the two?
Same load out
Vendor 3 just got an even newer build
Might be going to both PTR and Beta today or tomorrow since they want to test the event tomorrow
Playing around a little on the PTR build, is there no way to change the hotbars to the old (current live) built? I like to two longer bars more then thse three stacked bars.
I guess I can just use all the extras to jimmy something together, forgot theres MORE BARS
Yep 8 now instead of 6
Is this npc have New set of horns?
bug report still isnt fixed btw
so theyre probably pushing one of the vendor builds tomorrow
pretty sure its one of the sets the new dragon models can have
im not sure which class i want to play
Death Knight, Demon Hunter, or Warlock
They all have equal fun to me and i know them well.
I feel you... I love mage (my main) and hunter, I'd like to keep playing mage as main but I'm sick and tired of hearing "what, frost mage? no, no spot for you in our teams"
but that's also because frost is a b*stard spec and you rely too much on procs etc etc so my dps is not the best around 😄
Tough choice, yeah. 2 melee who can easily switch to tank if your group needs it, and a ranged class with gateway, summoning gate, healthstones
sounds subjective but go on
btw
if you want to submit bugs use /run GetMouseFocus():Hide() hovering submit
its the same bug like with the bags a few w ago, there is something over the ticket frame
yeah i just dont know
also i've never tanked before
but id be willing to try
Do not know if any saw it, but gonna drop it here
Nvm found a better thing
Galakrond drinked poopy Water 
wat
you can update it as txt discord will add a frame
It won’t until after expac launches
Anything that requires you to own the expansion doesn’t go to PTR until after launch of the expansion itself
I see was thinking it might be on there due to prepatch because if I am not mistaken usually they release new races during pre-patch.
Yeah - but you need to own the expansion
Anything that requires you to OWN the expansion doesn’t go to ptr until after launch
That’s always been the case
Big revelation..
Galakrond ate the Old God yellow snow and the Titans went to subjugate the dragons. Odyn was the hero all along
the prepatch activity in tirisfall glade is active on the past phase of tirisfall glade and not present I think it is an issue as it would mean the primalists time travel back in time
Report it
I did ofc..
the issue is the present phase is only on frangment of the map and not whole. as it always been :<
Realistically probably can be active in both unless the post phase is default active at 60
Even then I think you can do prepatch below 60
So probably should be in both
well it is active in the present but the present is only on part of the map xD
this is the whole vs the present part
only between the red line is 'present'
seems pretty buggy to me
And yes it is silly they didnt work it whole
it always been this case
I believe they are supposed to be in different parts of the zone for different elements
4 elements, 4 different locations
Helps vary things vs the legion assaults being in the same place in a zone every time
ooohhh
i see
there's smaller things
but the big one like
here
that's where the boss is
take a screenshot pls
sec
Some of us are working right now and can’t participate
earth in un'goro
it seems there's 4 points but only one of them has primalists/boss
and the FoS is to kill all four bosses
protection is removed from killing mobs
this one started at 850k ish hp, gonna need some tuning
that being said
@dense plover @livid walrus
oh lol i must be next to you
😛
I just done this boss lol
yeah feels a bit underwhelming rn
the ice one paints ur screen blue
i was hoping it would be more like the legion event
kind of annoying ngl
i get cata vibes
yea
or those 5.3 shamans in barrens
Oooh great, thanks!
Nice tying.
Yes, I like how they relied the two. Titans lying, something that was subtext since Legion...
This is from SLs right?
Nope, this is from the new ulduman
We better not see Zereth Ordus this expansion so soon after Mortis
I still wonder if reality isn't just the plane of order given the titans didn't leave to regenerate and the abundance of arcane magic
this book pretty explicitly establishes it as a separate plane
It mentions a place other than Zereth Ordus?
Cause Mortis isn't part of the shadowlands for example
it is, it's "within the fabric of the shadowlands"
Hmm, don't recall that quote. The impression I had gotten was behind maybe but separate
galakkrond had a big bad sippy
There are 5 books, one is the text linked earlier, the others have to do with Odyn's edicts to the other keepers, a report about rebel titanforged and another new Keeper, a new subspecies of dwarves, and post-Loken betrayal Tyr sending a letter to the other keepers
I can link any of them if people want to see them
Idk where to post this since this is DF gear i can see in the dressing room. What will these spaulders be from?
According to the appearance tab, theyre from World Drops
ty, I just had Mail and DF selected so. Im very unfamiliar with backwards searching unreleased gear
Yeah you can't see the source in the dressing room sadly
So primalist invasions will start with evoker release right
Seemingly the 3rd week of prepatch
ie November 15th
Yeah they do
I’ve tried multiple times in the alpha and beta and evokers seemingly cannot get a heart of azeroth.
I dont believe new characters can get them at all since Shadowlands
Which makes sense because why make essences for new classes - but also I think that cuts you off from being able to do a lot of bfa content including nzoth stuff
the new BfA intro simply gives you the kul tiras/zandalar quests
Just my screens hot from Azure Span :)
Or maybe not. I thought some things require a heart of azeroth to progress the storyline. I could be wrong
I know you’ll need to get a legendary cloak for nzoth stuff
But I think evokers can
You should get a heart at level 50. You could in the SL prepatch. You just don't get one levelling
You may need to go to Silithus
Essences are pretty class agnostic. Azerite armor may be weird
There's no way in hell they have this all ready to go by October 25th lol
The event doesn't need to be
No but the UI, Talents, Tuning and various other things DO need to be.
Eh things are probably balanced enough. The prepatch is always wild for tuning anyway, gonna be 10 talents short and all sorts of other things
UI and talent functionality is basically fine afaik
Oct 25 would be a 5 week prepatch and currently evokers and the prepatch event look to be 2 weeks
They could delay prepatch a week no problem
They might considering they closed the event early
Might not be a bad idea tbh
I still think like I thought 6 months ago, November is too soon
There’s still so many bugs
i just hope the prepatch event is long enough to collect the transmog if they are limited time
Oh expansion is happening 11/28 no questions
They can always increase the amount of currency
A 4 week prepatch vs 5 week when the event is only 2 weeks is minor
why are the ptr realms offline?
Error with the prepatch event
So they took the realms down
f
Unknown when they will return
I wonder what did they drop that broken every single code of other things in game
Hopefully they'll be back sometime
Someone correct me if Im wrong, i barely played with the primal storms in DF but arent the invasions and storms the same systems? Random spawns in one area?
So far they mostly seem to be, yes
icic
Is the prepatch in it?
PTR is up but so far no invasions up currently, nor Uldaman Qs or questline. Unless I am looking at the wrong place rn.
They wouldn't be testing it right now
They said they'd tell us when they're ready to test again
Cuz there were too many critical errors, so they'll adjust that and re-test at another time.
So not that too many here will be surprised but for any like me not in the beta and curious - I found this!https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FYNZcqQUUAADKuZ.jpg
is the bug report still broken?
Can't report the bug on the bug report!
you can if you use this trick, allegedly #beta-ptr-spoilers message
dangit
thank you
The Feedback/Bug Reporter tool is working on Beta again (and PTR as well).
The max-level Beta realm has some potential issues with it, but it should work for dragon isles content on the level-up Beta realms.
Greetings! We just pushed a new client build out to the Battle.net Desktop App, build 46157, that should re-enable the Bug Report & Feedback tool…
How the heck does the desktop app affect that?
oh, pushed a beta build entirely
2 new mp3 files
the same way it wiped all my installs but theyre still there
install format changed
or at least 2 new mp3s in the manifest
4687622
4867720
neither file appears to be in yet
looks like we may get more new music soon
give me grizzly hills 2.0 music
Oh shit
https://twitter.com/Portergauge/status/1580987149289082881
(thanks porter for pics)
but damn they're really spelling the titans out to be dickheads huh
considering the primalists are very anti-titan this seems like a perfect time
well I knew the titans were a bit suspect
then again Odyn has always been a dickhead. Not a titan, but close enough
What makes you think beings of pure order would be super keen on free will haha
Yeah I mean
After algalon its not a suprise to be fair
when i submit a bug report, does ingame location data get sent too? its in nokhud offensive and i cant get tom tom coordinates
yes
auto report tool knows where you are, character info and some other basic stuff
you can go to a mining node in a wrong place, stand on it and say "wrong location mining node" and thats a good report
or quite often disappearing objects on rotating camera --
@dense plover they brought back the prof vendors on valdrakken
ie there was a stone in the cave with drawings that half-hides them
ik you were looking for them
once the menus arent broken
wow
the pre patch rewards fucking suck
so much for cool green glowing armor
more like blue questing gear and the only decent one is the plate
and no mount either
i got hyped up for no reason
@cosmic beacon they just keep letting me down man
killing elementals for trash is not worth
theyve only done a mount a few times and the backlash was always terrible
because it becomes a limited time mount
like the burning of teldrassil mounts
the invasions also shouldnt be static
on the strings for the event, theres elemental ones of each type for each location
i think they just didnt have time to test them
ppl who complain abt limited time stuff just dont need to paly the game cuz they need to accept the realization that they will always add fomo, also, i just wished this event even with no mount reward atleast gave cool mog or something but no ofc its trash
not sure why i was even hyped up for a pre patch that is obviously rushed
i mean
i think its more that this prepatch event is going to be VERY short
so they want to avoid fomo as a result
i think the datamined armor will probably be moved someplace else
well thats fixed, barely anyones probably gonna do pre patch due to the rewards being shit
252 ilvl is nice
i mean
especially if you have a fresh alt
i guess
ke
wow fail
thats the reason i didnt level alt above 50 really
i dont wanna do SL endgame anymore im bored
when even is pre patch do we have date?
no
my own copium filled thoughts are that: This tuesday we might get a prepatch announcement of some kind, considering its the FF14 patch. And for some reason WoW's PR team wants to try to announce stuff during those times.
But I could be wrong.
And I hope I am wrong. It is pretty boring seeing them try to announce something just cause another MMO is announcing or doing something.
the weird thing is, it wouldnt even need to be FOMO
the vendors are in valdrakken
the currency drops from the actual dragon isles elemental invasions too

@uncut vault i like new sendrax
it still has bass tones
it just sounds more like an actual actor and less like someone playing around
and its less deep
semi-related - i love the voices of the npcs from the dragonscale expedition
ok but now im thinking
i would really like them to add like already in game dragon customizations like the aotc mount from bfa as a custom option for those who have the original mount as a dragonriding thing < . < that would be sick
It seems they disabled the illusions on artifacts
when would they have done that?
there hasnt been a build
I thought that illusion thing was announced but not implemented yet, But I could have easily misread it
looks just fine on beta
@glass fulcrum
where are you testing stuff that you just are flatout incorrect?
💀
which isnt where the change is active
or theyre trying to put the visuals on the actual weapon and not the mogged version
which yeah, probably doesnt work
different tech
💀
I wasn't tabbed in didn't see this, I honestly should have checked more but i did test it just on PTR because my friend was on there. Yeah should have checked beta though. I was attempting to apply the transmog to a shadowlands weapon with a legion artifact applied over it.
Prob wont, but hope it does
just double checked and yeah its on beta just not on ptr
oh cool
i just figured out what last build did
it added the cutscenes
theyre encrypted and still listed as unk files
im gonna post the file sizes: 41.6 MB, 165MB, 83MB, 35MB, 139MB, 69.8MB, 35.7MB, 142.7MB, 71.4 MB\
I have a request! I with to see pepe atop a dracthyr noggin!
Any pepe is fine but preferably nude pepe so I can see em without cosplay clunk
(pepe isnt working on dracthyr in dressing room for me)
so yeah - 9 cutscenes so far
some of them are freaking massive
so we are either getting some CGI cutscenes or some REALLY long ones
the big argus cutscene that was like 4 min was 142MB if i remember correctly
so 3 of them would be 4-5 min long OR CGI
idk
theyre not in sequence
and last time those were added after and were never encrypted
dang! Considering dracthyr are male zandalari height, thats a chunky birb!
my guess is one of them is raid end, another is the one related to raid start, and another is related to all of the oathstones being empowered
but its hard to say
all i know is that right now, in the last build, they added 9 encrypted cutscenes
its a ton
Hey I'm trying to plan out my tailoring specializing. What is the thing that upgrades making profession armor? Or did they make it so tailoring doesn't make some of the profession armors?
have you played beta?
I assume you mean the mother oathstone? Cause yeah that and the Chromie/Nozdormu moments are two very big ones in Thaldraszus with no cutscene at all atm
yes?
yes
i think those 2 and then the raid end
those might be the big 3
hard to say
unrelated - DH is broken af
in PvP?
oh, well then it doesnt matter
they just have a ridiculous amount of survivability and self healing/leech
are you the DH that got booted out of a leveling dungeon because you were pulling everything?
what?
no
theres like 10s of thousands of people playing beta
also i never run dungeons on beta
im joking
you take this way too seriously
or it could just be that theres no way to see tone
Typical dh 
Whats wrong with dh also?
Another "twilight devastation" or what?
huh, world boss is active
are there any more beta keys going out?
weekdays
check tomorrow for a post that shows what streamers have keys to giveaway
@uncut vault keyboard turner got the duration for the cutscenes
4687614 (9.25MB - 19 sec), 4687610 (139.60MB - 293 sec), 4687606 (142.78MB - 300 sec), 4687598 (29.29MB - 62 sec), 4687594 (59.49MB - 125 sec), 4687590 (99.82MB - 210 sec), 4687586 (62.55MB - 131 sec), 4500478 (152.79MB - 321 sec, expansion intro cinematic) all avi
so there are 5 over 2 min
only 1 short cinematic
I imagine 3-4 are warbringers style shorts?
So not all fully rendered ones
Still a lot of cinematics, and there's tons and tons of IGCs too
A lot yes, and a really good duration with that.
Is the catch up gear going to be available in pre patch? Cus i saw this note
That’s a different thing than the prepatch stuff
Those storms are in the dragon isles
The prepatch has primalist invasions
the crafted gear seemd pretty high even the first one you can buy
it will be easy catch up gear
So we will be able to visit dragon Isles in pre-patch?
dunno
the only way, that I know of, we can visit the Dragon Isles is just the evoker starting zone and thats it. I assume they will add some kind of invisible wall or something to keep us from soaring over on our Evokers.
no
theres 2 types of primalist things
one for prepatch in old world
one in isles during Season 1
the only part of prepatch with the isles will be forbidden reach
which ends with you leaving for your faction capital
no
unles you count dracthyr but
Evoker Weapons and Armor
Evokers can equip Daggers, Staves, Fist Weapons, One-Handed Swords, One-Handed Axes and One-Handed Maces. They can also use offhands, but cannot dual wield.
Can someone clarify what exactly the last bit means? As in cant dual weild the one handed items like mace and axe? When I think dual wield my brain goes to swords or bigger so. Thought Id ask.
So they are pretty much always using an offhand "focus" type thing, when not using staves then?
nvm I found a more updated and precise list, ty
They can also use two handed swords, axes, and maxes
So yes it just means they can’t dual wield like a rogue or warrior
Was hoping to dual wield stinkrot smasher mogs tbh lmao
we do we kno if we r keeping the calling type system in DF? or they removing them? i love callings
So far there are no callings, instead there is a weekly that gives rep with all of the reputations
as well as a larger number of dailies/weeklies instead of world quests
well idk we hoped/read the dragonflights will be covenants hence callings
but the wq reset twice a week.. so maybe wont be like that :(
there are many areas we haven't done anything in
The dragonflights as a whole are only one rep, the Valdrakken Accord
the others are the main non-dragon group in that zone
nop there were ppl saying we will choose a dragonflight, and it would be cool
and really, the area near chromie, cobalt assembly, etc
I think that was probably just pre-alpha theorycrafting haha
they just, exist rn ;d
Cobalt Assembly and the black dragons do have reputations, at the very least
em ppl were talking about that but its up to blizzard
just not mainline renown ones
it isnt rep, it is talent tree with no rewards atm
the rep is to unlock buffs in the area..
wait scratch that
there was a vendor there mb
idk its possible these areas to be for questlines unlocked at renown
but i really wanted to choose a dflight :(
(although, according to general everyone wants blue or bronze xd)
theres no evidence the renown questlines are involved
not happening
the entire point is unifying the flights to re-awaken the mother oathstone
so the flights can regain their powers
people assumed they were going to go the covenant route
after SLs i dont think they will ever again
iirc in an interview video I watched a long while back they specifically said there would be NO reiteration of covenants. At least not the way they did stuff in SL. In which case anything they do in DF will be very different.
Id have no idea where to find it cause it was either a wowhead article with a vid embedded or something on youtube which would be burried in my view history.
Youll kinda be doing that just through the mount customizations
i remember the "leaks" that came out saying you choose flight but nothing official ever came out like that
because it was a fanfic essentially
amm no peach 3 ppl tell you it was announced-ish :)
people making stuff up =/= real
it was fake'
yeah, it was prolly cooked up by someone who loved the covenant system or someone who wanted to stoke the fire of the ole "blizzard is dying" camp
tbf idk, no idea who announced it
i thought its an interview by blizz
and, pure customization is what most ppl wanted (yet not me)
it may also be a thing that would be cool, but they wont do cuz release..
I was thinking they'd do that since it would fit with how they evolved artifacts to HOA
thought they'd keep covenants as flights
there is that other rumour that shadowlands was a much different expansion earlier in development and was meant to be tied into dragonflight more
which might be why DF has had more development time
and maybe they scrapped that choosing a flight thing when SL launched
or maybe it was meant to be DF's borrowed power mechanic but they retooled it for SL
after all the covenants didn't really matter in the grand scheme of the SL story
but makes a lot more sense as a system for a dragon expansion
hopefully they fix the object pop-in on Beta right now. the FPS dips are nuts. Object detail isn't drawing correctly
Turns out we've got nightborne paladins on beta now lol
personally, i would report that as a bug
@uncut vault
that last bit?
thats probably why the centaur dont have a questline on beta
its tied to the green flight and its likely its all encrypted
where can i go to see dracthyr doing emotes like laughing and stuff for art refs
thought it would be on dressing room but no
They dont have questlines what?
They’re the only renown without a renown unlocked questline
Model viewer
It was hidden in the forbidden reach.
@uncut vault Could interest you!
Because well, Sindragosa seem to knew, in fact...
... Now, this is interesting.
Really interesting.
So more knew... or did forget.. and there war more than just soul and dragon. And this reinforce the "they are dangerous"
You're welcome! Pleasure is mine, I enjoy searching and the starter zone has interesting elements between the phases or if we search more.
But yes, another text even suggest Sindragosa knew about this, even if she claim the contrary in the Azure Span. (And the anger of Telash is so... understandable)
Well, the version in the Span is a hologram thing
It doesn’t know everything
You could be right yes, that it was done before.
How the items is called? 
"What the Aspects fear"
Yup, it's even more ominous.. 😁
Found a quest that related to this items
There 3 of them
Did you found third one? 
Not yet, but I can search more. I only found two..
"The cure", mh.. 🤔
I will search now, but it is possible that was retired.
Or it's a trace of an after quest.
Because clearly this was not... not playable by any means during the intro.
It seem "The cure" is not in the game for now. :/
Sad
Yeah.. there is mention of a " General Scorxia" in WoWhead but didn't find her runes in game too.
https://www.wowhead.com/beta/quest=65041/memories-of-scoroxia
https://www.wowhead.com/beta/npc=183757/general-scorxia
Report this find to General Emberthal. A level 58 The Forbidden Reach Quest. Rewards . Added in World of Warcraft: Dragonflight. Always up to date.
Maybe another patch will make "The Cure" appear, because I don't remember seeing the others two items during my first dracthyr intro;
("What Aspects fear" and "The Vault", that are now available in the beta)
Can't wait to play this new Expansion 😍 👍
when will be the pre patch?
rip
May be the 25th (Specially since tomorrow's a maintenance patch like it usually does before big patches) May be the 1st but any later would be weird
They usually dont go smaller then 4 weeks on a prepatch
they already said this would be a small one
When did they say that?
when they first talked about prepatch
That but you understand that could have changed, right?
it could have
but the plan was 2 weeks of event
so the leaked date could be shifted if they feel it isnt ready
they only NEED 2 weeks for everything to still work
this is from an interview with Ion in April
Right but again like said, it could very easily change. Specially with people's slow down for season 4, development and so on
i mean - theres no chance theyre going to move it forward
Remember this was before they desolved an entire company for developing
like if you could have a negative chance of something happening, we would be in that negative chance
i feel like this is very rushed
idk why they cant delay xpac
they likely have a fallback date for the raids being next year if they cant get it ready
theres about 5 weeks until expac launch now
Yeah it cant be delayed passed this year now or else they HAVE to issue refunds
idk i just dont want it coming out worse than shadowlands :T
have to offer them
not issue them
Right
and they dont have to offer them if you already got some of the stuff
like a mount or gametime
theoretically they need to offer the difference in that scenario
but if they delay the release until mid december and then put raid early january
rip ppl who bought epic edition
¯_(ツ)_/¯
thats sorta the tradeoff
but idk why you would refund a preorder for an expac thats still releasing
not the same as WC3R since it didnt offer what was advertised
thats false advertising and requires the same offer of refunds
if they delay the release, its not like the actual expac will change
but who knows, ptr/beta could be 5 builds behind
Regardless, its been HEAVILY advertised by now for the 28, heavily.
shouldnt the raid not be in december anyway i see alot of ppl complaining bcuz apparently christmas is very important 
Its more then likely still coming out
maybe we get new builds tomorrow that fix a crap load of bugs
it was something they said they would avoid

but the raid dates, since they arent delaying mythic, should avoid a majority of the problems
wheres LFR D:
at most they want WFR to last 11 days
so it fits in that window
1 week before christmas
das dumb
and then none until after new years
because they want people watching the WFR
and they dont want to deal with trying to tune LFR when they need to tune mythic to make sure it ends before christmas
whats WFR?
world first race
averages 70k viewers
and yet ive never seen, heard, anyone talk abt it
per stream
i watch when they push a new boss and when they are on the last boss and getting close
they raid in mythic or?
its cool to see them quickly design new strats around previously unknown mechanics
yes
RtWF/WFR is mythic

its usually like 4-6 guilds
its fine
That's not saying much. SEO trend had been abysmal for WoW events & announcements lately
A lot of top raiders quit during 8.x-9.x. Participation is at all time lows. Many don't want to dedicate the time required.
i think youll be surprised once DF launches
new expac hype is strong
Yeah WoW does well with expac launches. It'll be interesting to see if it has legs.
Yeah launch was fun. Everyone I know quit during Season 1 and haven't logged back in for a year+. I think New World has a big content drop tomorrow but only 17% of players hit lv60 😂

beta down for anyone else?
blame arch
that's kind of a frustrating reason lol
they should want people to watch it because it's good
not because they're hamstrung out of content they want to do lol
That's pretty much the standard LFR schedule, it's always been wing 1 is a week after the normal/heroic release, then every 2 weeks from there
Well yes, but its a bad schedule 😛
It always has been, especially since they started delaying it longer
exacerbated even more by them increasingly doing post-raid story content
Yeah, it always feels like unnecessary amounts of delay
Not a fan of the M+ gearing changes. Can't tell if they're trying to add value to Raid gear or the Professions or both.
they are tryingto force people to raid because they dont wanna work on any other content

You can't have any pudding if you don't eat your meat
I'm vegetarian 😉
i like how theyre iterating on M+ in beta
the modifiers are cool the ilvl reduction not so much
now they just need to stop treating 5 mans like an esport 😄
pudding is nasty
Are you a skinner, herbalist, miner, or fisher that has the beta? Message me with what items you find and in which area + zone! WoWHead is currently missing all this information! e.g. iron ore, dragonscale basecamp, waking shores
Hey @dense plover ?
Ian Bates said the map animation and model was remade on the beta. Can you do a /read and zoom into first person real quick?
It’s just a newer map
There’s an image on the subreddit from a while ago
It’s pretty minor
I was only curious because Ian said the map is upside down and lacks the Dragon Isles.
It looked like this in older alpha builds
Quick question: there are supposed to be 4 different Dragontypes we can choose from for Dragonriding, correct? What is the Winding Slitherdrake then we can choose on wowhead Dressing room? Datamined leftover or maybe a secret Dragon we can somehow unlock in DF?
Probably being saved for patch content
a few of the options arent available in 10.0, like the white skin tones
Aight ty
Nice. Thanks Porter.
Hmm
Looks like that Map is flipped upside down
Compared to the M map in-game
Because it has Teldrassil and Azuremyst Isles at the bottom of the map along with Quel'Danas
Yo
Can someone tell me
IS ZEALOTS PARAGON 0.5 or 1 SECOND OMFG
wowhead says 1 second
But the beta and ptr says 0.5sec
Unless they haven’t added it to the ptr and beta yet
This is fucked up
Zealot sucks with just 0.5 sec
Nvm the beta is also 1 sec but just not ptr
Someone explain to me the logic
testing
Ptr isn’t really the servers where everything is tested or kept up to date like beta
Comments in the article about the evoker "delay" are gonna be fun
I feel like blizz should have clarified that months ago
Didn’t we already know the evokers come during prepatch but not at launch of prepatch
sort of
blizz has been pretty vague
they've said things that imply it's different things
but never actually said it
I mean yeah
and I don't think many people were aware
Didn’t they also say exp buff is live until evoker but they haven’t said prepatch kills the exp buff? So that leads one to believe prepatch doesn’t equal evoker at least not right away
That's one of the vague implications of them being different things
It just feels like people are going to get upset over their ignorance
although I don't really understand why it's not til the expansion release, you hit 60 pretty early on in the evoker starting area, I think I finished it at about 61.3
hitting 60 a bit faster isn't going to screw with it
I mean this could have been much easier if blizzard plain out said “hey two part prepatch, pt1 this pt2 evoker”
Or just have it so the evoker starting zone doesn’t apply the buff like starter island
Yes
I know they really don't like confirming dates before they're actually certain about them, probably a chance pre-patch gets pushed to the 2nd november instead of the 25th which is why it's not announced yet
but the two parts thing feels like it could have been mentioned ages ago
Yeah, they could have been wary just incase they had to combine the two into one if they have to push prepatch back a bit
I think people would be ok with that, though
It's a good idea to not commit to anything. The approach from what I can see is not bad
It's important to not let people think you've commited to something that you haven't, though
Eh, people would see it as a “rushed expansion” if they had announced one thing then changed it. Then again people are going to think that regardless
Honestly beta has felt a lot more complete from the start than it has every other one I've been in
I do fully expect tons of balance hotfixes and probably quest spawn issues and so on in the first couple weeks anyway, but that's pretty much a constant since at least 5 or so expansions ago
Should be expected as a service game with importance in that aspect lol
Where's them damn harbinger style cinematics?
Shouldn't they have started dropping by now
I assume they'll be during prepatch, it seemed like there's going to be a few characters show up at different times
Ah there it is
two phases
second on nov 15th
dracthyr in phase 2
Oh yeah
as well as uldaman and the rest of the storm stuff
My friends will be back home from visiting me by then lol
People are way too eager to insult Blizzard, I feel bad for them. It was a bit vague, but clear enough to not assume we would get them at the start of the prepatch.
For sure, but most people get things through some sort of content creator and rarely read the actual blizz post. There are some popular misquotes that are years old and still used to malign blizz
That's on them for not checking sources
Honestly I feel bad for anyone in any medium in this day and age lol
I'm grumbly cause I want Dracthyr sooner rather then later. But I'll take the wave set up thing cause from fiddling with ptr, I know I'm gonna need time to familiarize myself with the rest of the changes
Agree, players will need time for the talent system, HUD...
I main feral druid atm. So evokers gameplay will be VERY different from my normal playstyle too.
I can agree to figuring out the new trees and UI separate from the class
Yes, I know I will need much time.. because I play druid too, hunter, and then evoker with that.
I honestly didn't like the hotbars when I fiddled with them on ptr. On live, the lil stone fellers fit around the entire expanded bar. Which is what... A hot bar and a half of slots? I'd have to look more but from when I fiddled with them. There's no expanded bar option on ptr. I have to either remove the stoney lads to place a second bar beside 1. Or flapjack stack the bars so the stoney lads don't overlap something.
the word flapjack has a bad meaning right now -walks out-
also hi feral druid main
me 2
? Like .. pancakes??
no
but i am not saying cuz id be spoilering a show 
I thought I was being Twitter policed or something dumb.
no
WTF
I never know man. I play a lot of genshin and am in the official discord server. The things I hear about.
💀
i would still use a addon personally
for UI
I likely will. I've refrained from looking for one yet though cause assumably most aren't updated for the DF setup
yee
I like all the extra hotbars. Lots of options . I don't like that I can't extend the bottom three bars the way the current bottom 2 bars extend. Cause I like the bookends.
yea idk why simple stuff like that isnt a thing
blizzarf
I kinda get why but also don't.
Those two half bars on the extended version, make up hotbar 3.
But if it was some logistic with keybind interface, couldn't we just eat the new floating third hotbar to make the extended bar.
Then use any of the other bars to stack on top of the extended bar. Cause there's an option in the new ones to shorten the bars via feeding slots to the void.
But. I'm gonna bet a UI addon will come into creation that does exactly this.
It seems like such an oversight to just kill off the extended bar option
https://bnetcmsus-a.akamaihd.net/cms/blog_thumbnail/h0/H0M5HMRQH5UI1661980811085.jpg is this HUD layout good, should I put my minimap in the center of the screen
Hey who are we to tell people how to play
Well this one is blizz endorsed from the patch notes!
“It’s only there while I figure the rest out okay” -someone somewhere..prolly
Mage is strong in the beta atm?
Arcane is blasting

Oooh
we're only getting 4 new dungeons in season 1?
must be a really really really bad joke
i do hope theyt release a new ptr build this week with a fix for the professions
@tropic trail 8, 4 new ones 4 old ones
so 4 new ones
and 4 recycled dungeons no one wants to play
I'm so glad we have lower and upper kara wow it's great
I'm excited for the legacy dungeons
it's an option eventually
The new M+ system will be great for dungeon rotation.
Part of me wonders if they ever plan to remake old vanilla dungeons. Kind of wanna see a mordern BRD
they future-proofed all of WoD and MoP's dungeons (tuning aside) to be a part of the M+ pool in one of the earlier beta builds
so rest assured there will def be variety
Valdrakken back on the list
so maybe zone music this week?
I sure hope so
Sorry if this is a common question, when will the servers be up for beta?
First time participating in a beta so I'm not sure how this works
As soon as the new build is pushed and its ready for testing
As for exact time, no one knows.
If there's another step then i dont know it
they just put out the vendor build, so probably a little while before it's pushed to the beta proper
how is it a good thing that we get recycled crap in season one
you could MAYBE make an argument that it would be good to add in in season 4 when people are tired of the new dungeons
but definitely not in season 1 since it completely ruins the "fresh" expansion feeling by forcing you to do recycled dungeons
and actually vaulting new, exciting ones
Because the game is more than just the current 2 years of content, and Blizzard embracing that content should last longer than 2 years is a good thing haha
theyve laid out their reasoning pretty clearly, they want to add variety to all of the seasons, not just the final one like Shadowlands did
and it allows players to enter a new season without feeling like they're inherently behind because all of the strategies were figured out months ago
To me, having the first half of the new dungeons in 2 separate seasons also means 2 seasons with new content
maybe thats a small brain take though idk
That's exactly their intent, it means that there's something actually new to explore and learn in each season, rather than the exact same thing + a single new affix
and it makes gear in a given season more diverse, because you aren't just regrinding for the exact same items as last season at higher ilvl
speak for yourself.
ok so do it in season 2 not season 1
vast majority of people does NOT want this bullshit in season 1 and that's a fact
Ah, the good ol' "I have a loud opinion, therefore it must be the majority" argument 😛
lol
not even close
You 2 or 3 people area literally the first who do not hate the recycled dungeons in season 1
season 4 was well received and they were all 'recycled." For a lot of people, all those dungeons are new
if you think the recycled dungeons are fun to play then you probably didn't go higher than +15 this season
yes because it's season 4 , people were tired of doing the same dungeons all expansion
im 2.7k io, try again.
it's fine in season 4 not one
and guess what DF is doing?
doing it from season 1
nobody wants to farm ruby for 2 years in a row.
instead of letting us play the new dungeons
they force us to play old dungeons instead
people get tired of running the same dungeons 2 years in a row.
you literally are.
you 4 now, 4 later
and a new set of old
Guess what, you're not the only player of this game
I never played anything before 7.3 legion
go ask in class discords
youre speaking for yourself here, keep that in mind
nope
stop trying to speak for the majority of players.
🙄
also regardless of those dungeons being "new" to you
if you played this season
you would know that expansions like wod that didn't have m+
can't have good m+ dungeons
so mop dungeons will automatically be shit they weren't designed around m+
man get out of here just block this guy he says his pronouns are hung and like ahorse
did my pronouns not being they/them trigger you?
yeah youre not worth anyone's time
tell me grimrail and iron docks are a good m+ experience with a straight face
feel free to uninstall cause clearly the old dungeons are gonna be bad for you.
Thankfully you can go to the WoW forums and leave your input on it and let Blizzard know
🙂
i would rather not. He's probably one of the people that insult the devs and make reading feedback miserable.
Good job! Now hopefully they will listen for 11.0!
oh no someone had a different opinion than me i must cry about it and hes definitely a bad person
You're acting like a kid, Roberto.
Yeah let me just agree with the people who disagree to make you happy
You can disagree without throwing a tantrum and provoking, keeping it polite and without dubious statements that feel like political flaming.
LOL
political flaming??
wait who was the person who said "you're not worth anyones time" etc? And I'm the one provoking yeah sure
For some reason the entire collective of soyboys within the wow community gathers on the wowhead discord lmao I'm out of here. If you get triggered over pronouns you need to face the wall ngl
Anyone who uses the term “soyboy” is the actual problem
zero self awareness lol
Yes... He has left already.
🙏 for some evoker changes this build
🙏
build is out
What a great time to take a nap and miss that dumpster fire
build number went down...?
apparently
Seems like they pulled the newer one to go back to a newer but slightly older than the newest one
Maybe had problems?
Hope there is more music
Yeah doesn’t look like it
😦
Yo
Soar changes
2 min with talents, one minute once you fully explore the island
Great changes
Really great
And you can reach the same max speed again
I'm guessing not much to datamine
servers up
👀
i got a big fat lua error when applying profession knowledge
new global strings
TRANSMOG_DRACTHYR_APPEARANCE_INVISIBLE This appearance isn't visible in Dracthyr form
PROFESSIONS_OUTPUT_INSPIRED_CREATION Inspired!
WORLD_MAP_ACTIVITY_TRACKER_LIST_INTRO Track available Major Faction activities on the map by selecting them from the list.
thank goodness
yeah
evoker finally getting defensive buffs
deep breath removes roots now
living flame healing increased to 198% from 168%
WHAT
Tempered Scales Your dragon scales increase your armor by 75%.
just a huge new passive
nbd
obsidian scales buffed by 10% and changed to 1.5 min from 2.5
and the talent to decrease the cooldown now gives it a 2nd charge instead
great changes
OMG
emerald blossom instant heal talent literally doubled
Im glad they saw how weak they were lol
was gonna be a shitty class launch as it was last build
this should be PLENTY
their damage is good
it was just their defense
especially once you hit 70
"Additional class tuning will be hotfixed throughout the week for raid testing on Friday."
"Developer note: Balance Druids will see that several other spells have been reduced in power on the beta. We’re still working on these changes, so expect a few to be reverted over the course of the week. Thank you for your patience!"
^^^finally
Definitely a good change, though the numbers need some ironing out maybe?
Currently rank 1 does just a little bit more than the other 3, not sure if that's intentional
no more weapon..rip
they added some tiny background animations to the talent trees, thats nice
mouseover can track how many turn in rep items you have
i really like this change
cool cool
my level 70 character had their drakes wiped
fun
they moved a bunch of rep stuff around
a lot of the endgame stuff got pushed forward
dont know how im supposed to get my dragons back
fixed it by making a character on valdrakken
its because i copied account data like a dummy
or not
fuck
100% my fault
looks like a lot of bugs were fixed too
no more invisible djaradin
oh theyve fixed the dragon npcs landing @uncut vault
i imagine this is a thing you also noticed
where they would clip halfway into the ground when landing or taking off
rare npcs have an icon next to their name in world now
Uh hey Peach?
What's that distinct minimap icon that resembles the garrison/order hall/covenant sanctum?
Interesting. So it's not a command table, thank Lord Sargeras.
Nice.
oh yeah weve known that for a while
its just a fancy way to track renown and to fill in your rider talent tree
I like that.
the only thing i dislike is the rep not being account wide, only specific rewards
Eugh. I guess that's intended so you can't farm all the way to exalted with alts.
Encrypted player customization?
could be the eyes
or it could be a twitch drop
or might be a dragon customization
some of those are in the player area
new skinning resource
so not JUST curious hide
pretty sure these are new
this is new
after picking which black dragon
new circle of blood is fixed
I thought that at first, but those are specifically rewarded from learning it via an item, no?
not upon questline completion
doesnt mean they cant do it
especially for like - full forms
IE raszageth appearance
is that talent tree artwork available somewhere to download? 🤔
Hm.. Bags seem to be broken
which one in particular?
preservation evoker
i looked on their press site, but sadly they didnt include any talent tree art
they still haven't fixed that central line
