uncut vault
#

theyre intentionally there, if you mean its presence

#

to separate the class and spec trees

deep pawn
#

Most are blended in, preservation is very obvious

silent urchin
#

There are so goddamn many weekly quests

#

25 in the log is not enough

#

I think I have 6 or 7 alone just from wrathion weeklies

upper pasture
#

7 weeklies or 1 weekly and 6 dailies?

#

Honestly I wish weeklies didn’t count as quests in the quest log

silent urchin
#

afaik they reset weekly

#

it's a lot to do if it's daily

#

They're definitely more minor than the big weekly

#

although I guess if you really want you could farm a lot of the keys here

silent urchin
#

Oh hey they fixed the crash if you dismount while casting bronze timelock

willow raptor
#

So what's the equivalent of the mission table this go around

dense plover
# silent urchin 25 in the log is not enough

Part of the problem for me is I have a ton of side and dungeon quests - something I probably won’t have when the expac is live because I’ll just do them instead of saving them for later

willow raptor
#

So there's zero source of semi-passive gold or resource income

dense plover
#

Gotta do the work

silent urchin
#

Yeah I got a bunch of dungeon quests I haven't got around too

#

plus the two dungeon weeklies

dense plover
willow raptor
#

Damn a lot of people are gonna be pissed

dense plover
#

I’m not doing dungeons until it’s live

dense plover
willow raptor
#

Oh, absolutely

#

If it'd been done right, at least

dense plover
#

Helps limit AH prices when combined with the region wide resource stuff

willow raptor
#

Which, RIP, it wasn't, but it's at least something

dense plover
#

I mean - dailies, weeklies and WQs give good gold

#

And there are profession quests that also give gold along with profession knowledge

willow raptor
#

Sure

dense plover
#

But nothing big anymore

willow raptor
#

And no passive gold is good

dense plover
#

30-50 at most usually

willow raptor
#

But it's sort of after the cows are already out

dense plover
#

Yeah I like it - less pressure to mess with a system I don’t like

#

And they’ll probably remove the gold from the SLs ones like they did with previous expacs

willow raptor
#

WoD, Legion, BFA, Shadowlands, all funneling in trillions of gold to people who had 40 characters

dense plover
#

Yeah - best thing they can introduce this expac is a way to get rid of that gold without screwing over everyone else

willow raptor
#

Reduce it, sure, probably low enough to not be worth it, but there's still the issue that it's existed for this long and there just isn't really a gold sink

#

Now they just need to remove 2x4

dense plover
willow raptor
#

Max people who can loot a thing is five

#

But every person in a group can loot if any one person can loot

dense plover
#

Oh so you have 2 groups of 4?

#

Idk if that still works with the tagging changes

willow raptor
#

So two groups of four people means 8 total people can loot tagged mobs

dense plover
#

Would have to check

willow raptor
#

I mean, presumably it'd still work

dense plover
#

Might not

#

The change in the cap is a significant code change

#

Very possible that is gone

silent urchin
#

2x4 farming will probably still work

#

the alternative is making the experience feel kinda shitty for people not doing that

dense plover
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

It’s a much less significant problem than the passive gold table

#

They absolutely need to create a gold sink though

#

Getting rid of the gold cap they had made the problem much worse

#

I just don’t know what they could do to get rid of it

zenith bobcat
#

is the Back to the future quest in dragonflight beta for anyone else? chromie keeps phaseing out before i can the the quest

#

bugged*

ancient jasper
#

RIP people who used that passive Gold to buy Tokens.

silent urchin
#

There's still a lot of raw gold income

#

and potentially even more to be made via the AH

#

I did make pretty disgusting amounts just running a single night fae mission table

#

I don't think that'll be replicated

shy light
#

ive just been riding the mission board till end of expansion on 3 chars, and I auction off all the mats i get from teh bags (Which STILL sell)

#

Ive had to earned like something around 30-50k over the last few weeks

silent urchin
#

A lot of mats have dropped to almost vendor price, at least on EU, but it's still kinda decent money

#

The rune buffs made me a ton, those were at like 3-400g per at some points

shy light
#

auggies are like 252g venedor for me

#

I dont bother with AH

silent urchin
#

Although I did make the mistake of saving for a raid release at one point, and so did everyone else

#

actually crashed the price

#

And yeah, they're close to vendor now

shy light
#

I was actually mind-blown at how easy it was to get augment runes once i started using a mod to properly manage my missionms

#

and this was all post s4 raid stuff

silent urchin
#

yeah I've used various mods, tl;dr missions is the current and also the best

#

but venture plan and a few others previously

shy light
#

TLDR is bar none the best

#

shame we ain't getting another table mechanic.

silent urchin
#

I am not really sad to see it go

shy light
#

eh, free shit if anything

#

gave me something to do last few weeks

dense plover
#

New brewmaster article is super on point

#

I disagree with some of their tree choices, but I really HATE weapons of order

ember blaze
#

Thank you dracthyr_heart

silent urchin
#

Huh.. is the gathering while mounted perk in profession knowledge new?

glad niche
#

Ye

#

Iirc. It's new with DF. Idk if it applies to all mounts or just the drakes or something.

silent urchin
#

I meant new with recent builds, I don't recall it being there before

glad niche
#

All would be cool. SOMETHING on par with the druid golden child. It's only been what... 60 years?

#

On ptr or beta? From what I understand I thought it was on beta a while.

#

I know bellular touched on it in older vids before PTR was live. But I couldn't tell you if it was implemented or not. It might have just been a note about something the devs said they planned

silent urchin
#

ah I guess I just missed it

silent urchin
upper pasture
#

!!!

ancient jasper
#

Here's hoping they remember White/Grey transmogs as well lol

deep pawn
silent urchin
#

it's at the end of the first spec, for mining at least

#

so pretty easy to get

deep pawn
#

early on it's a trade off between that and higher quality ores

#

deftness is gathering speed right?

silent urchin
#

Yeah, although this particular spec is +1 skill per point

ionic terrace
#

new ptr build

#

nvm, looks like not much of anything

errant prairie
#

Hopefully they will put the event to test soon

shy light
#

Hopefully, but they do have a extra 3 weeks of 'breathing room' to fix/prepare

#

Id say keep a eye out for tomorrow, for any blue posts

cerulean lava
#

I would like this expansion to release at least in December tbh, but they seem to know what they're doing

zinc furnace
#

"they seem to know what they're doing" said nobody ever about blizzard

#

Quick question, I see you can specialise in certain aspects of a profession, but can you eventually max out that profession across all areas with enough investment? Is that what the above reward is supposed to show?

#

So I’m on beta, I thought they were supposed to make it so you can choose to be in dragon form or human form. Still casting abilities and turning into a dragon lmfao I guess I can see the interrupt and push back but besides that was a bit confused also the ones that make you fly in the air makes sense lol

ancient jasper
#

Considering the new Passive they'll likely never let you be in Visage form in Combat.

upper pasture
#

what new passive iron scales?

#

or whatever it's called

ancient jasper
#

Yep the one where you have 75% increased armor in Dragon form

upper pasture
#

also iirc you can stay in visage form except for when casting the obvs dragon things like flying through the air

#

or breathing literally fire

ancient jasper
#

Can you? Hm.. Might have to look myself. Haven't tried it

tropic trail
#

Yeah haha just wanted to make sure thought it was some weird bug but yeah that armor passive is ridiculous lol in a good way

upper pasture
#

the armor passive will just be that a passive. it not gonna turn off when we are in visage form

deep pawn
ancient jasper
#

Okay yeah you're right it's just worded "Your Dragon Scales increase your armor by 75%" and we have Scales in Visage form as well so yeah it works in either

abstract ether
dense plover
#

but i suspect those 2 gathering professions make sense

#

since they have nodes

deep pawn
#

Let me skin when mounted in popular areas

abstract ether
#

I just checked skinning, no skinning while mounted. apparently skinners make bait and stuff though?

dense plover
abstract ether
#

that stuff usually starts out not very good

#

but sometimes becomes awesome

Dragonflight: Legacies premieres October 25th

#

Dunno if that's all or just the first

mossy meteor
#

it says episode one

silent urchin
#

ah right, so it did

upper pasture
#

Oh yeah. These always get me pumped

dense plover
#

Looks like 3 episodes I think?

#

Galakrond, the primalists and either Dracthyr or Neltharion/deathwing/dragon soul/demon soul?

#

I’m not sure which ones have deathwing and Neltharion

#

Might be both the Dracthyr one and the primalist one

candid ruin
#

DPS meter coming in game?

upper pasture
#

nice find, that would be nice to have depending on how it shows for group content

tropic trail
#

I that dual mount is so cute omg

ember blaze
#

is that a dragon with tentacles

upper pasture
#

That’s Deathwing yes

ember blaze
#

oh ok

#

he had tentacles?

upper pasture
#

Yeah, the last fight in DragonSoul

#

(That’s what is depicted in your screen grab too. When he fell into the maelstrom and we fought him with the aspects)

uncut lintel
#

how did he grow tenticle

#

is he related to nzoth

urban spire
#

he started "melting" at the end

#

the tentacles are like lava tenctacles

uncut lintel
#

so he was made of legit lava

uncut vault
#

the topics were given in alpha

#

Dawn of the Aspects, Neltharion's Downfall, and Origins of the Dracthyr

#

which will likely be released in that order on tuesday, Dracthyr release day, and xpac release day respectively

dense plover
#

Ah

#

Well that leaves us several large cutscenes for during the expac

#

So that’s good

#

There were 9, they added a 10th in the last build that’s nearly 3 min long

#

So there’s like 5 long ones, 3 are probably these

ancient jasper
#

I'm extremely curious what "drops" they plan on giving us for watching Twitch Streamers

errant prairie
#

Same

#

Hopefully they will tell us on tuesday

deep pawn
#

Doubt they will before the 15th

dense plover
#

new vendor2 build

#

possibly new beta tomorrow before raid testing?

dense plover
#

but could be pets or mounts

#

which all would later go to the store

upper pasture
#

I don’t think a mount is out of the question here. Don’t we usually get a limited time mount with expansion releases?

dense plover
#

they did one for BfA prepatch

upper pasture
#

That was the meat wagon right?

dense plover
#

no

#

thats from WC3R

#

or blizzcon

#

or both?

#

the BfA mounts were the bat and hippogriff

uncut lintel
upper pasture
#

Oh. Hmmm maybe there’s always been a mount given around an expansion.

#

Not necessarily for the expansion lol

uncut lintel
upper pasture
#

Well I guess my point is I believe the 3 drops will likely be transmog/title/mount and in that order

uncut lintel
#

🙏 i hope they atleast look decent and isnt shitty

#

and mount isnt a horrible recolor

#

if they do release one

upper pasture
#

Maybe even instead of a mount possibly skins for dragon riding mount

uncut lintel
#

OMEGALUL fomo skins

uncut lintel
upper pasture
#

Meh, all that stuff is subjective anyhow

dense plover
#

i bet they would

uncut lintel
deep pawn
#

just play in china and get all the old mounts

uncut lintel
#

ikr

#

i might move to china just to get all the old mounts ez

swift copper
#

Do you get to keep covenant abilities after SL?

dense plover
#

Same with SLs legendaries

swift copper
dense plover
#

And some don’t work with each other

dense plover
swift copper
#

Yea

dense plover
#

Like - it’s not a mandatory story

#

So attaching permanent power to it is a bad idea

swift copper
#

Yea it makes sense but I don’t like it lol

#

I’ve gotten addicted to my class ability

dense plover
#

A good chunk of them are now talents

#

What class?

#

And which ability

#

It might be on your new talent tree depending on your spec

#

For example brewmaster has weapons of order and bone dust brew

#

Balance Druid has convoke the spirits and the necrolord one

#

Death knight has the cool arm one and something else

#

DH has the sigil and fodder to the flame

upper pasture
#

And the hunt too

dense plover
#

And I think DH also has the night fae charge yeah

#

I’ve been using that one on beta

#

I like it more than the other charge ability that they can take

upper pasture
#

Sames

dense plover
#

Which covenant?

swift copper
#

Kyrian

dense plover
#

which spec too

#

Might matter

swift copper
#

Retribution

upper pasture
#

Didn’t that get put into their class tree?

dense plover
#

I think so

upper pasture
#

Divine toll

dense plover
#

A lot of the more fun ones stuck around

#

I’m a bit sad that faeline stomp isn’t available for brewmaster - while not very strong it’s a lot more thematic and fun than weapons of order

#

Weapons of order is just “have more mastery and damage/cooldown reduction”

hollow lark
#

Just got into beta and is it just me or is the starting area really foggy? Like There are no vivid colors except for players , feels as if there's a fog filter on

dense plover
#

Is your view distance low?

hollow lark
#

the waking shores

dense plover
#

Your view distance is definitely not at max

#

And what do you define as vivid colors?

#

It’s literally green and rocky red

#

I don’t see how you can get more vivid without an acid trip

hollow lark
#

everything is on max

#

its so weird

dense plover
#

Could be the specific area

#

Some areas ARE foggy

#

Ruby life pools is a good example of a location where you can see very far and the water there is an almost toxically bright blue

#

The zone in general does have some fog in some places so it really depends on your location, but I would definitely say the colors are very vivid

#

Any brighter and you would be in a cyberpunk setting

hollow lark
#

By vivid I mean comparing the are with zuldazar for example or staglethorn vale. the difference is night and day

dense plover
#

Stranglethorn is lime

#

It definitely looks plenty bright - it just depends on your area.

#

It’s not a jungle though

#

So it shouldn’t look like one

#

It’s a vibrant rocky sort of oasis like zone

#

Like a desert but not dry

#

It isn’t a jungle except in the southern part near the plains

silent urchin
#

I think the design is definitely somewhat less saturated than previous zones. I don't really see anything different in your screenshot compared to what I'm used to seeing myself

hollow lark
#

Ok, will do some more running around - hopefully its just a local foggy area then. Its hard to convey the fogginess with a picture, its kinda more apparent when moving around - like everything is covered with a layer of foggy grayness

silent urchin
#

There is quite a lot of haze for further away things, but that's partly to create the impression of distance rather than a graphical quality thing

dense plover
#

Yeah it’s definitely not all like that

#

The volcano areas are brighter usually

#

And the high areas are foggy when looking down but less so when looking out

#

It increases the sense of scale

silent urchin
#

I think maybe the haze has been turned up recently, actually

#

It does feel a bit stronger than I remember

dense plover
#

I think they’re trying to fix some of the fps problems

upper pasture
#

Max view distance was insane when I dropped down into korthia and looked back towards the OG maw zone

dense plover
#

They might’ve reduced the new max view distance because of frame rate issues

#

And so it looks foggier because the view distance decreased slightly

#

Hard to say for sure

#

Would need exact location comparisons

#

I’ll have to see if I have any screenshots from earlier and see if I can revisit those locations to test

silent urchin
#

Potentially

dense plover
#

Won’t happen until tonight

silent urchin
#

I'm wondering if there's some weather effects, actually

hollow lark
#

In general did the Isles look vibrant and well done in your opinion?

dense plover
#

Could also be that

hollow lark
#

awesome

dense plover
#

I even enjoy Ohanaran plains

#

The zone I thought I would hate

#

It might end up tied with azure span as my favorite

#

It has hills and mountains and sudden cliffs and swamps

#

I love the marshy swamps in that zone

#

First non creepy swamps in wow i think

hollow lark
#

Alright. Off to exploring then. Hopefully the fog clears up :D. I just got a bit worried and thought somethings wrong with the game since it looked so weird lol.

dense plover
#

They’ve been messing around with stuff like fog and weather in the zones recently

#

Mainly because some of the areas with the primalists have localized weather

#

And the transitions are really sudden

#

I think they want them to be a bit sudden but not, move a foot snowstorm, backs a foot totally bright and sunny

#

But again I’ll try and double check against older images if I have any

silent urchin
#

It definitely feels like there's a lot of clouds right now. There doesn't seem to be a weather indicator in the new UI though

dense plover
#

There is?

#

Where?

silent urchin
#

there isn't, afaik

dense plover
#

Doesn’t seem to be

#

I misread it

hollow lark
#

Ok, reached skytop conservatory and the colors here are indeed super saturated and vivid. Learned dragonflying and when flying around I can definitely say that some areas are much more foggy than others and the fog appears and disappears suddenly. It seems as if the starting area was one of those foggy places for me

glad niche
#

Unrelated but FFXIV has these pan out short openings to some zones later on in the game. One in particular is stunningly breathtaking when the in game weather is sunny. Somehow they lacked the foresight to lock that cutscene to a set weather instead of matching the current live weather. Really dulls the entrance and ooo and ahh for some when they are greeted by slow panout after lots of buildup
Close up of own character going ooo ahh

Cloudbank of fog

ancient jasper
#

I'm guessing you mean Il Mheg lol

glad niche
#

nah, its an endwalker zone whos name I will not mention cause its VERY spoilery for the buildup to said zone

#

Il Mheg fits the bill too tho! That cutscene of the fog lifting, just to go to a foggy skybox dracthyr_cry

does evoker have any azerite power stuff?

#

I don't believe newly made cahracters can obtain the heart of azeroth at all anymore, so likely not

#

#

I'll go check now

Wowhead says there aren't any but that could be wrong

I don't think its the amulet this cutscene is focusing on Magni

#

LOL

#

IT JUST LOOKS LIKE HES SNEAKING UP TO SAY THERES AZERITE NEARBY

uncut vault
ionic terrace
#

i figured lol

glad niche
# uncut vault Oh nope, turns out thye can

just cause i was looking into it recently. Unless they wanna change how the rares work in that one pvp zome south of Undead city (I cant remember names atm)
The hearth of azeroth is required for them to show up as silvers.

I went to kill the raptor that can drop a mount of itself, on my shammy who didn't have the heart, And It wouldn't spawn as silver. Went and grabbed the heart real quick. Silver.

dense plover
glad niche
#

It was mentioned a bit in the comments on the wowhead page for said raptor. People were confused why the mobs weren't showing up as rare when they hadn't killed them yet that week while simultaneously happening to be doing it on a newer character or one they hadn't done BfA content on.

#

So to some scale its either known and not cared about, or how they meant to do it.

#

Cause Id assume it was brought up on the official forums too. But I enjoy my mellow moods and avoid toxic pits when possible.

dense plover
#

i imagine without the tag, they still drop the intended items

#

so its just a display issue

#

vs other more important issues

#

looks like pet battle world quests still exist

errant prairie
#

ima be sad if there is no Lance reference from Pokemon

dense plover

theres too many potential references for things to have EVERY reference related to a subject

He was, if im remembering right, the Pokemon League dragon trainer with Dragonite and such. But yeah you're right, would be funny though

You know, childhood was not just Pokemon...

#

There is too many cartoons, series, books, that were part of a child memories (depending of the period), especially about dragons or big lizards.

sullen dawn
#

Who is Lance?

#

Pokémon for me was like seasons 1-3 of the original series, the Mewtwo movie, green/blue games and gold/silver games

Don't really know anything about it past that point. Although I did get archeus

tropic trail
#

I wonder why we never got a tank spec for Evoker

#

Like, and earth-warder tank

upper pasture
#

Because “we’ve got enough tanks right now” 🤷‍♂️

ember blaze
#

and a new ranged class has been a requested thing after the last 3 classes have been entirely melee.

tropic trail
#

Now the new ranged is a HUGE deal that's for sure

#

Besides, I think they were fine with doing only 2 specs like Demon Hunter

cosmic beacon
#

easier to make 2 pog specs than spread development, tuning etc on another spec ontop of its current ones

crystal pond
#

first episode will be droped in what time? Is anyone knows?

I don't think they put out a time but likely after maintenance, if we're lucky maybe during maintenance so we have something to talk about while we all wait

whats the easiest way to get in contact with a game dev

#

because I have reported this bug on forum

#

and on beta and ptr

#

and its not fixed

#

if you look at this

#

wow what a nice fucking game

#

why the fuck is my judgement doing 700 less dmg ???

#

there IS NOT A SINGLE BLUE POST

#

THAT SAYS PROTECTION PALADIN JUDGEMENT

#

IS NERFED

#

AND IT DOESN'T NEED A NERF

#

SO WHAT IS UP WITH THIS

uncut vault
#

are you comparing live to the ptr/beta? because the balance of everything is different

#

talent trees change up a lot

sleek cloud
#

the dmg with the same character everything being the same

#

shows my judgement dmg

#

got nerfed

#

and they didn,t even make a blue post

#

saying prot paladin judgement would be nerfed

#

because OBVIOUSLY IT DIDN'T NEED ONE

#

WHY IN THE WORLD IS JUDGEMENT DOING LESS DMG THAN RETAIL

uncut vault
#

Like I said, everything is different, that's not a judgment specific thing

#

all numbers are balanced different to take into account the new talents

#

Theyre not gonna make a bluepost for a single ability haha

sleek cloud
#

if they just lower my judgement dmg to make it back the amount it would do if i take zealots paragon to make it hit 10 % harder

#

that makes no sense

uncut vault
#

Theyre balanced around how they operate at max level, and again

#

everything is different

sleek cloud
#

the reason i wanna use zealot is not to get back what i lost

uncut vault
#

judgment is not uniquely lower

sleek cloud
#

but gain even more power

uncut vault
#

numbers are very slightly lower across the board to make scaling to level 70 less dramatic, which is an issue a lot of previous xpacs have had

dense plover
#

It sounds like someone has never played more than one expansion

#

Entire class kits and rotations have changed - there are new abilities, some old abilities are totally different or gone and the new talent system means some talents might buff abilities to be better or work differently

silent urchin
#

It's probably some passive that's gone away

#

Or just in general a change to the damage aura

#

level 60 balance is basically meaningless come dragonflight anyway

Will see after maintenance

upper edge
#

Ah gotcha

sullen dawn
#

So you'll have the large majority of your points but not all

sleek cloud
#

So I know a little bit about my spec and how it goes every expansion

#

They like to just stealth nerf prot paladin since shadowlands

#

Literally no blue post but most my abilities get cut down

dense plover
sleek cloud
#

And that’s due to losing your covenant dude

#

if you go into the shadowlands your dps will be the same

#

Judgement is the only thing hitting lower

dense plover
#

Nope - even without that, almost every class has reduced damaged at 60 on ptr

#

Just depends on which abilities

sleek cloud
#

I bet they just use the same ID for prot and ret judgement

#

And by nerfing ret judgement by 10%

#

They also unintentionally nerfed prot

dense plover
#

I’m not going to argue - I honestly don’t care about your opinion because of how absolutely toxic you are

#

I’ve never seen anyone act like this in this channel and I don’t want to

sleek cloud
#

Like I said you don’t even read my comments

dense plover
#

You started off with “I play glad here is my ranking”

#

I really don’t want to

sleek cloud
#

So I’m not gonna try to inform you because you don’t even know one of my talent says it increases wings duration by 0 seconds

#

Which in your words is not a bug

#

Either

#

Because they just wanted to specify that this talent would increase avenging wrath by 0 sec

dense plover
#

Didn’t say there weren’t bugs

#

There are tons

#

I personally think the prepatch should’ve been in December and patch in January

#

Because yeah, there are a ton of bugs

crystal pond
#

It will be bad if its droped in december-january because of holidays

crystal pond
#

Servers are shuted but there still no animation.....

sonic flame
#

is chromie time scaled to 60 in dragonflight prepatch?

#

( which should be live now )

dense plover
#

Firstly there’s 8 hours of maintenance

#

So it’s not going to be live for a while

#

Second, XP and chromie changes aren’t coming until the 2nd half on Nov 15

crystal pond
ancient jasper
#

You still have 7 hours until Maintenance is over, bud. There's PLENTY of time for them to drop one before servers come back up.

cerulean lava
#

Did we saw Nathanos in Shadowlands?

#

or anything about him

crystal pond
ancient jasper
#

Thanks to whatever Mod decided to step in 😄

sullen dawn
#

Yes thank you

#

Anyway, what we're other people's opinions on legacies episode 1? For me i found it quite bad compared to the BFA/legion ones

#

I felt there was no sense of mystery and chrom/the evokers voices were very generic

crimson jasper
#

huh? I just stopped typing lol

crimson jasper
#

but hey since the legacies was the topic, the animation style was well done, comparing it to when they first did them for mists, they all had a interesting visual concept, the soundtrack and delivery of it was nicely executed with what was shown, it was a clear cut explanation of a historic moment we only had in book form so far, while of course a summary of that, with slight aberrations ofc because it's told from Nozdormus perspective specifically, which his new voice actor is doing quite a nice job, already felt nice in that little preview trailer we got over twitter, I do look forward to see the other two

plain violet
#

I did liked it, it's fairly simple and the first episode serve as trailer and resume the lore.

#

Not everyone knew about Galakrond so... it's cool.

abstract ether
#

it's definitely for explaining the lore to people who aren't familiar

crimson jasper
#

absolutely, and Emberthal (the Dracthyr) is a good standin for that, becuase they do have memory loss

sullen dawn
#

Perhaps that's why it didn't resonate with me

abstract ether
#

you'll just have to wait for the coming weeks!

crimson jasper
#

a nice step into the direction of showing the lore ingame tho, compared to having to read the books

#

which I still enjoy reading the books regardless

sullen dawn
plain violet
#

Yes it's not a "wow revelation".. explaining lore like this is nice on a meta level too.

#

Dracthyrs are like new players.

crimson jasper
#

something like this would have benefitted SL as well especially regarding topics around Sylvanas

plain violet
#

"Who are we?"

#

On a funny topic. God Emberthal is huge.

crimson jasper
#

yeap she do be tall indeed

#

might not seem like it if you stand beside her as Dracthyr

#

but the race itself is rather big

plain violet
#

Yup totally.

crimson jasper
#

they did portrait Galakrond rather nicely

plain violet
#

I like that element, because even the slimmy appear as big.

crimson jasper
#

I think leaving out the "extra libs" etc

plain violet
#

Galakrond really give the monster vibe.

crimson jasper
#

but focusing in on the multiple eyes (for a clear old god giveaway) was p cool

plain violet
#

And the two protodragons of two colours protecting eggs.

#

That is wholesome on another level.

crimson jasper
plain violet
#

To me I was going for my dracthyr as a big slender vibe, like stardust dragon would be.

crimson jasper
crimson jasper
plain violet
#

That's possible. 🤔

#

I agree!

#

More slender give majesty, elegance.

#

And better play on armours.

crimson jasper
plain violet
#

We have one dark/black protodragon with red eyes that breath wind/sonic yes...

crimson jasper
#

but it makes sense to present it that way, have the "important" ones stick out and easily identifiable

plain violet
#

Yup!

crimson jasper
#

especially since he came into the shot when Noz commented of them banding together

plain violet
#

No Neltharion had blue eyes, strangely, I will copy that wait..

#

The screaming one:

#

And then proto Neltharion:

crimson jasper
#

in this while far away

#

the eyes appear red again

#

or well orange ish

plain violet
#

Effectively. Strange. 🤔

crimson jasper
#

where was the blue eye part

#

when they covered

#

ok lets see

crimson jasper
#

same shot lil further away eyes still "orange"

#

tbf

#

when closed in

plain violet
#

You're right. 🤔

crimson jasper
#

Alx's eyes also werent specifically colored

#

tho in this I think it's clearly to show "emotion"

plain violet
#

Effectively...

crimson jasper
#

which usually isnt easy on dragons

plain violet
#

Yes emotions and humanity.

#

As she was loving.

crimson jasper
#

so to effectively do it they removed the glow I assume

#

ah if you look at that scene

#

when "neltharion"

#

turns around

#

the eyes change into orange from that blue ish

#

so it might just be a "light effect"

#

I am unfortunately not good at things that regard shading and such^^;

#

it's at 2:40 in the video

plain violet
#

Oh! Let's see that.

crimson jasper
#

from that ss you took, basically when he turns his head the coloring changes

#

see basically same ss just a sec later

#

could also be going with what Nozdormu is saying, that they overcame their instincs of fear

plain violet
#

I think you could be right. Eyes changing coulours based on emotions.

crimson jasper
#

eyes start glowing cause they are now "determined to fight"

#

kinda deal

plain violet
#

Yeah, you could be right.. 🤔

crimson jasper
#

only blizz knows

#

but I enjoy dissecting videos like this

#

it's always fun

#

as aspect atleast

#

he does have his usual "deathwing" eyes xd

#

this is also a really nice shot

plain violet
#

I enjoy it too!

#

He's really... spikey too.

crimson jasper
#

gotta dig through the dirt somehow xd

#

certified aspect of dirt gotta be spikey

plain violet
#

Aha you're right.

#

Driller dragon.

crimson jasper
#

cool model tho, I am more used to him as deathwing

#

as we all are probably

crimson jasper
plain violet
crimson jasper
#

happy ya got it xD

plain violet
#

Well we will see plenty of him as old version so...

#

Aha I do! Gurren Lagann or Fourze are both drill references. :p

crimson jasper
#

good old times, stuffs pretty iconic even if it is for memes heh

plain violet
#

Memes are the DNA of the soul after all. :p

crimson jasper
plain violet
#

I am too, more or less.. depend of the franchise. 😁

crimson jasper
#

true actually xd

plain violet
#

For example if we talk about memes on Kamen Rider or Star Wars, or WoW, here I am! But more classical ones.. nope. :')

crimson jasper
#

I do know kamen rider, even tho it wasnt as big of a thing here as it was most likely over in na?

plain violet
#

Yeah Kamen Rider is not really know in EU... I am just a big fan. 😁

#

Watched multiple seasons with subs, even followed on-going ones and have figurines + drivers.

crimson jasper
#

oh thats cool^^

plain violet
#

It is! Still a fun franchise to laid back, well.. when they don't make you cry. 😁

dense plover
#

Is the login music still only 3 min with no overture?

plain violet
#

It seem, yes...

dense plover
#

Boooooo

plain violet
#

Ahha!

#

Yes I agree.. Well, it could change maybe!

crimson jasper
#

I do assume theres a like "full version" ?

plain violet
#

Some seasons are really more laid back, childhish. Others are more mature, serious, even really dark and sad.

#

But it is called Kamen Rider because there is still some concept that are tied, heroes transforming with a belt, and their powers having a link with the evil they fight (the original season, 197X, is really anti war and about how a living weapon can use it for good, not evil no matter their origins).
Some writers for example where the one behind Puella Madoka Magica, so you can image how much some seasons were.. dark. 😁

#

But it's easier this way to follow the franchise, because you can just pick the season that seem most interesting for you.

crimson jasper
#

yea that makes sense

#

and madoka was "funny" indeed

plain violet
#

Totally funny.. :')

#

Kamen Rider Gaim was written by the one behind Madoka. It seem silly, guys fighting in fruit armors.

#

In the end, cosmic horror.

#

(and death. Lot of death, even major characters)

crimson jasper
#

everybody gangsta until the fluffy shit doll thing bites yo head off

plain violet
#

That's totally the same kind of surprise we got here. :')

#

Everybody gangsta until one got crushed between two walls.

crimson jasper
#

ha F xd

plain violet
#

Ahah. That's not even the most brutal one.

#

But yes. Even if "for childrens ! :D", Kamen Rider clearly got away with a lot of graphic or brutal subject and stuff, that's also what make it likeable, like Avatar.

#

It don't fear at all of touching a lot of subjects. And well, the choreography are nice.

crimson jasper
#

it is an interesting way for media to go about such topics

plain violet
#

Exactly! And to also say to people that it can be better, that they can dream, and such. It's a bit like superheroes, in terms of morals.

crimson jasper
#

always appreciated to deliver a positive message

#

enough depressed people around xd

plain violet
#

God I agree on that... 😁

#

Why I like the franchise. There is some "dark" ending, but still, the messages are positive, the travel was worth it, and we can all heal from wounds.

crimson jasper
#

indeed^^

uncut vault
# crimson jasper

I just realized, they mixed up kalec and malygos' models again lol

#

they used Kalec's new DF model for this instead of Malygos

uncut lintel
#

hes pretty cute

plain violet
#

Oh wow.

#

That and the strange colours of Neltharion..

#

Well it happen. 😁

uncut vault
#

the hilarious part is that this isnt the first time theyve done this lol

#

in Hearthstone, they accidentally used Kalec's dragon art for Malygos' original card too

plain violet
#

Oh. O_o

#

That's effectively surprising for internal communication errors.

crystal pond
#

Malygos is cursed with models

#

Its even more funny due wrath dracthyr_lulmao

uncut lintel
#

its probably because they cant tell diferent between blue dragons

#

since they r blue

crystal pond
#

They drew the first cinematic before they finished the models
Cause emberthal in cinematic and emberthal in game is different

#

Now due this shot im gonna ship Ysera and Nozdormu

#

Thanks blizzard

ancient jasper
#

Weren't they protecting a clutch of eggs together?

crystal pond
ancient jasper
#

Ah

#

Hm.. Think they'll skip Beta update this week to work out any bugs the prepatch throws up?

plain violet
#

I don't really think they will but dunno..

candid ruin
#

they don't have that kinda time

sick storm
#

has anyone else messed around with soloing DF dungeons? took me 51m to solo ruby life pools on a 277ilvl 60, i ended up with 5% into 61 at the end of the dungeon

#

seems like it would be a quick way to level

uncut lintel
#

maybe someone at blizzard does

#

< . <

dense plover
#

aw they nerfed denizen of the dream

#

makes sense

#

just a bit sad

#

no more 100% uptime

deep pawn
#

it wasn't cause you could have 2 up at once

dense plover
#

so this should still be very cool

#

ok

#

also dang - more maintenance

#

wonder why

deep pawn
dense plover
#

it definitely needed it

#

i just thought it was like 50%

dense plover
#

time to find out if i can import my beta UI to retail

#

yep

#

looks like they removed the underlight angler as a valid fishing equipment

#

or no fishing equipment is working

#

cool

deep pawn
#

it didn't really need a nerf cause it was at best 5% of your damage, which for a capstone is fine

#

Balance druids are considering not using capstones

crimson jasper
uncut vault
#

well, that would also involve him un-growing horns and spikes too 😛

crimson jasper
#

true, but hey maybe thats a thing with dragons!

#

xd

#

he did nom on some other dragons after going mad, maybe that changed his looks a tad

#

I would assume you are right tho and they just used Kalecs model

#

or Kalec will one day also have different horns and a beard when he becomes a grandpa xD

crystal pond
#

I hope they didnt do that fuck up with all cinematics and his new in game model

crimson jasper
#

been a while since I read them

#

wasnt it nether drakes?

crystal pond
#

I readed comics

crimson jasper
#

I just mentioned it cause galakrond was atleast in the books meantioned to have grown extra limbs etc because of the cannibalism (which with the new lore from uldaman is more likely old god related)

crimson jasper
#

or well

#

maybe they want it as his updated model

crystal pond
#

Galakrond was corrupted by void

#

And this is why he became like that

crimson jasper
#

it was mentioned in the books found in the new Uldaman dungeon

crystal pond
#

Yogg

crimson jasper
#

yogg ok

#

but yea I assume blizz just also wants a updated model for malygos

#

seeing as all other aspects got one

#

and he could very well be shown again in DF even if in a flashback

crystal pond
#

But making him look exactly like kalec, with the fact that kalec is not malygos son, is so wrong

crimson jasper
#

tad strange indeed

#

well maybe we'll see what's up, or it really is just a model change

#

or an oversight

rancid dragon
#

hi, is there music for the levelling zones on beta? i want to do a slow levelling on beta to enjoy the zones then speedlevel on live when the expansion comes out

#

is there ever music on beta or no?

crystal pond

Yall
Did they drop the new book? That about what happened in time-skip

crystal pond
sullen dawn
plain violet
#

They didn't drop the new book yet.

amber jay
#

What about realmlist on beta? They just disappeared?

#

Are they just removed or some error?

ionic terrace
#

prob for the weekly update

dense plover
#

Oh finally

#

Hopefully we get music

#

Btw found out the keybinds not working is an addon bug

#

I have out of date addons disabled but apparently even some of the updated ones are broken

uncut vault
dense plover
#

I’m curious if the reason the title is short is actually because it’s either A) Staying short, or B) instead of being a new mix, is just a literal overture of several mp3s that will be in sequence and the rest of the sequence isn’t in yet

ancient jasper
#

I really wish they hadn't slapped Protected status on so much shit. AddOns are now constantly throwing the ***** is attempting to access a protected feature error

dense plover
dense plover
#

I mean we don’t know until they add more music

crystal pond
#

Probably music will be droped with dracthyr release

#

3 weeks omg.....

errant prairie
#

Would be odd but maybe

deep pawn
#

come on build

candid ruin
#

Work orders gotta be in this next build

#

they gotta

deep pawn
#

finally

deep pawn
#

2gb

#

gotta be music in that

dense plover
#

thats still a bit small

#

only 2 mp3s

#

both encrypted

deep pawn
#

oh, bleh

dense plover
#

yeah its probably backend stuff

#

and file replacements

deep pawn
#

let's see if they updated the beta personal resource display

#

they changed that last minute on live, doesn't show buffs anymore

dense plover
#

bunch of unk files

#

so it could be music

uncut vault
#

is wow.tools super weird looking for anyone else?

deep pawn
#

nope, nothing new with the PRD

dense plover
#

its not working great though

oblique ice
#

is beta down for anyone else?

dense plover
#

we JUST got a new build

#

finally

oblique ice
#

who did? lol

deep pawn
#

beta

dense plover
#

BETA

oblique ice
#

NICE

dense plover
#

i literally

#

i dont

deep pawn
#

not seeing a ton of class changes

dense plover
#

im not expecting many at all on beta

#

beta will likely see all of the retail changes as they balance retail

#

except evoker

deep pawn
#

except they're being a bit slow on retail even, honestly balancing based on prepatch would be stupid since covenants and leggos are changing things

oblique ice
#

ya im waiting for beta come back back online lol

oblique ice
#

ah just came back up

dense plover
#

idk what you expect

#

servers are up tho

deep pawn
#

at least some hotfixes. 😦

#

login music the same

dense plover

doesnt seem like music is in game

#

probably the pvp restarts they mentioned

they might be in

nop

dense plover
#

nope

errant prairie

Well if not this build then hopefully next week. Were they ever tested before? At the very start of alpha/beta?

dense plover
#

YO

ionic terrace
#

ah wait

dense plover
#

all of the renown rewards are account unlocks now!

#

except purchasable equipment

ionic terrace
dense plover

and recipe unlocks and questlines

Oh big on thge recipes unlocks

but all of the manuscripts, all of the WQ stuff, way more accessible

didnt know about the fields of ferocity WQ unlock

#

so many adventure guide things

are bags finally fixed

deep pawn
#

waiting on a blue post of beta notes

#

EVOKERS STILL CAN'T USE THE DAMN GUIDE

candid ruin
#

BAGS FIXED

dense plover
#

is this new?

uncut vault
#

Nah that's been there for a bit

dense plover
#

oh ok

#

its marked as new in the global strings db2

ionic terrace
#

i'm gonna assume that The Dreamer is the third chapter

dense plover
#

im assuming some story is post raid specifically

ionic terrace
#

yea

deep pawn
#

crafting orders are supposed to be in

#

Crafting Orders will be initially accessible on the Tyrhold realm only, and will be enabled on the Valdrakken realm at a later date.

uncut vault
#

silver dragon is back

deep pawn
#

You will find that the Crafting Orders tab along the bottom of your recipe is accessible. From there, you can search or browse public, guild, and any personal orders you may have received. Once you’ve claimed the order, you can provide any missing reagents, craft the item in question, fill out a (courteous) message back to your customer and complete the order, collecting your commission.

#

noooo, not threads of fate

candid ruin
#

crafting orders woooooo

dense plover
#

whats up?

ionic terrace
#

tldr they are removing it pretty much

dense plover
#

eh

#

kinda makes sense

#

though i hope you can still do torghast while leveling

deep pawn
#

probably not

#

since that was tied to threads

dense plover
#

boooo

#

thats the part i liked even if it was a shittier version of what we had in SLs alpha

deep pawn
#

so looks like it's 30 public orders a week, no cap on personal orders that anyone can send you

dense plover
#

i wouldnt be surprised if they decrease it tbh

deep pawn
#

After you fill your cap just announce your high skill in making those r5 items. 😄

#

get the personals

dense plover
#

i assume theyll have to keep adding new profession gear and high level recipes to keep the professions relevant throughout the expac

#

since youll be able to legendary rank high rank stuff by end of 10.0.2

deep pawn
#

well each new upgrade token adds more difficulty

#

I don't know if they'll do more gear that way though

#

I don't think they'll add that many recipes

#

since the system to keep them evergreen already exists

dense plover
#

i mean, bare minimum base difficulty has to continue increasing so there has to be a way to grind to increase that

#

so better profession gear makes the most sense

deep pawn
#

why?

dense plover
#

because how do i craft legendary gear in 10.1?

deep pawn
#

Like for armor, the increase in difficulty comes from the infusions

dense plover
#

uh huh

#

and if i want season 2 M+ equiv armor?

#

in 10.1?

deep pawn
#

new infusions will drop

dense plover
#

yeah which i wont be able to get a high rank on

#

because without better profession gear theres no way to bump my stats up past a certain point

deep pawn
#

We don't know yet what they'll do, they could either introduce new gear to match any new difficulty the new infusions add, or they end up saying, "Okay, you already did the work, just get the new mats"

dense plover
#

i hope they dont do the 2nd one

deep pawn
#

heroic and mythic infusions currently add +30 and +50 difficulty to the recipes

#

s2 could be +70 and +100

#

plus whatever one they add to bump baseline crafted to old tier mythic

#

I guess concentrated primal infusion might become a world drop or something

dense plover
#

but if they increase the difficulty

deep pawn
#

or drop in +2s

dense plover
#

and you cant increase your skill in the profession

#

you cant make the best version of that gear

deep pawn
#

I'm sure whatever difficulty increases they add you'll be able to match with optional finishing reagents or better accessories and tools, they have options

dense plover
#

thats what i suggested'

#

and then you said they dont need to add it

deep pawn
#

They probably even haven't thought about how they'll do the s2 professions and likely are waiting on feedback to s1

#

They could either do that where gear progresses, or players say they don't want to regrind gear each season and they just replace the infusions each season

dense plover
#

balance druid orbital strike is good now?

#

now also reduces celestial alignment/incarnation of elune cooldown by 60 sec

#

anvil and stave brewmaster talent massively nerfed to only occur every 3 sec

#

its kinda mediocre now

#

every 3 sec, reduce brew cooldown by 1 sec with both points

#

strength of spirit now only increases expel harms healing by up to 100% (down from 200%) of your missing health 😦

candid ruin
#

any crafting order screenshots? I'm on the wrong leveling server lost

#

just wanna know if you can do crafting orders to your alts

deep pawn
#

it was already every 3s

#

they just put it on the tooltip

dense plover
#

oh

#

so it was already sorta meh

#

huh

#

its not bad

#

its just kinda meh

#

might as well just say "every 3 sec in combat, reduce your brew cooldown by 1 sec"

uncut vault
#

The Dreamer is the only one not in any of the renown rewards

#

and just based on the title the story content is fairly obvious

sullen dawn

they put rings and trinkets on the vendor to test

plus the evoker staff and hunter bow
