#

lots of fun consumables

#

this covers his questline - its ~1 level of the story

#

feels good though - breaks up the story and lets the time between the end of eversong and the start of other stuff have space

#

im gonna explore the arcantina tho

#

i see - all of our mail passes through here XD

#

danath and eitrigg seem to stick around after the quest

#

literally none of the chairs here work right now - i hope they change that

#

very similar to that early quest in shadowlands

#

they imprisoned tehd!

#

oh boy

#

this shits gonna hit the fan

proper palm
#

Wtf, silverhand litteraly fight with deathknight and now they don't like a little warlock xD

dense plover
#

this is supposed to be here but uh

ember blaze
#

a horse model is gonna take them 20 years. youll have to wait a lil longer

dense plover
#

welp, thats pretty much all the content right now it seems besides side quests, the returning player stuff and the new exiles reach

#

ill run that at some point before next patch

proper palm
dense plover
#

idk if this was always the case, but exiles reach now has the base wow logo

#

yeah so they definitely shifted the npcs

#

thrall and kalecgos

#

thralls already voice acted'

#

so this is probably going live sooner than some of the other stuff

#

has unique voice lines

#

same rendered cinematic with breka

#

quest is the same

#

this part seems to be the same or very very similar

#

this part is different

#

ill go through the rest a bit later

little hound
#

Yeah. If you play Horde, Thrall is there. If you play Alliance, you get Jaina instead.

dense plover
#

ran into a big one before that cutscene

#

they havent updated the quest text

#

ah i see

#

theyre not going to go with enslaving kalec story

#

thats good

#

nvm maybe it is the storyline?

plain violet
#

I did read all that. Fascinating! Arathor is more endearing than I imagined, nice questline.

dense plover
#

i really like him

#

he is extremely level-headed and down to earth and compassionate

#

i really hate the last quest in eversong though

plain violet
#

Yes! We need characters like that.

#

Oh?

dense plover
#

because we are forced to ignore his advice and help lorthemar and turalyon kill trolls

#

i put in the feedback that we should be helping arator try to stop them

plain violet
#

Oh yeah, and despite knowing we kill good ones right?

#

Good idea!

dense plover
#

well - good is subjective

#

the trolls are definitely being jerks

#

but theyre not the bad guys

#

they just are the enemies of the sindorei historically so assumptions are being made on both sides

plain violet
#

That's a good thing.. to show assumptions and prejudices playing in favor of the Void here by making them attack each other again.

dense plover
#

yes

plain violet
#

Do we know the amani assumptions?

dense plover
#

i just dont like that im forced to be on the side of stupid when ive been paying attention

dense plover
plain violet
#

That I agree: it's a pain whenever our character become stupid...

dense plover
#

but thats based on cutscene text

#

we dont have the actual cutscenes

#

its why i gave the feedback

#

they can change it without major shifts

plain violet
#

Yeah!

#

Especially in.alpha.

dense plover
plain violet
#

Oh. :o

dense plover
#

more like - light is corrupting our land and we need it now but its your fault - i think?

plain violet
#

Oh I see...

#

Well that make sense too!

dense plover
#

both sides make sense

#

the actions of lorthemar and turalyon make sense

#

its only MY actions that dont

#

ofc whether they act on my feedback or not will be up to them

plain violet
#

Yes! I understand the idea.. if we see something amiss we could say "wait no".

#

Let's cross fingers!

dense plover
#

there was a quest earlier that gave you a choice to come forward or lie

#

they could do a two sides choice thing

#

especially since the first side is already done and it wouldnt change the outcome

#

just would change what you are doing for those like 4 mins of quest

#

because it really only is like the last 5-10 mins of the zone quests that i dislike

plain violet
#

Oh I see... well more choices is for the better!

#

So absolutely agree with it.

dense plover
#

thrall, shuja and breka

#

they need to rename the location since reanimation isnt occuring anymore

#

im curious if this is implemented or not

#

straight to the kalecgos prepatch khadgar tower cutscene

#

both amirdrassil and zaralek have been flagged as 10-80, thought the other zones are 10-70

#

forbidden reach is 70 only so i assume it is not included in the story overview stuff

#

yup - new campaign is the 4 zones, blue dragonflight, green dragonflight, zaralek and the dream

plain violet
#

Oh it's a nice intro to DF!

#

I like it.

dense plover
#

so it does look like you have to do all 4

#

but you definitely get to this faster than before

#

i hope they cut down on the number of quests so you dont outlevel the expac

plain violet
#

Yeah...

#

Sounds nice for alts too. :o

#

Remind me of old WoD pexing during Legion...

dense plover
#

ok yeah they cut a lot of quests

thin warren
#

maybe you don't hit max so fast on campaign only

dense plover
#

i dont have to do the quests where you go in the cave to kill those elementals

#

or the lava elementals

uncut vault
#

you never did :P

dense plover
#

you didnt? were those optional?

#

they werent flagged as campaign?

uncut vault
#

Never

dense plover
#

oops

#

did you have to follow sendrax to dragonheart outpost?

uncut vault
#

Yeah

dense plover
#

you dont anymore

#

it just tells you to go there

#

both the level and the ilvl are completely fucked

#

they really kinda fucked up this stat squish

#

with gear being messed up this is going to get hard when i run out of gear thats giving enough stats

#

might have to wait for next build 🙁

#

technically this is also a problem in the alpha content because the gear isnt increasing in ilvl past 120 no matter what level you do a quest at

#

i got the same gear like 4 times while leveling

plain violet
#

Considering they are linked to the Light, that seem a possibility for the summon!

glass fulcrum
# dense plover

Do you know if this includes boots, exiles reach was silly and never gave boots appearance before

tropic trail
#

I don’t get it why quests are on alpha midnight in dragon isles?

#

Send some nice screenshots of zones hehe 😂

tulip sun
#

@dense plover Did you do any quests that take you to Bel'ameth? Saw this in another discord and was wondering the context

rain cave
#

she ammending relations with the night elves?

#

Oooh ok

dense plover

Also, how is the "summon" from the Light, narratively? Did it happen suddenly and we weren't prepared, did we got a warning from the Light before?

#

Oh I see!

#

Yes I think it isn't final too, as Liadrin just prayed..

dense plover
#

It’s like half-baked right now

plain violet
#

Make sense, first week of alpha after all...

dense plover
#

Light portal in the capital city and brief summons

tulip sun
#

Im excited for Zul'aman this week

dense plover
#

But also the portal to twilight highlands for pre patch is still active so I think the context will matter a bit

tulip sun
#

Im eager to see how the relationship with the Amani ends in their zone

plain violet
#

Oh yes context, of course!

#

This will be .. particular I think, to make.

#

As from what I understand they really want something "right into the fray"..

dense plover
lone mantle
tulip sun
tulip sun
#

But I mostly was thinking lorewise with the Horde. Id love if it opened relations with them- maybe eventually we see them joining the Horde, which is why we can use their customizations now.

dense plover
#

we see zuljan kill a twilight blade cultist - no chance he goes evil

#

zuljarra seems to be the more reasonable of the two though based on datamines

tulip sun
#

Yeah

#

Just hoping we see some reason we can play them in the horde

#

Like Man'ari and Darkfallen

#

We also have new Torntusks in the files- maybe kids of Primal and Elder Torntusk!

rain cave
#

I hope that means body types and not just skin colours

rain cave
#

but because they're seemingly going down the "fold this race into base troll as a customisation" method, I doubt it now

tulip sun
#

Hopefully that just means they join the horde

fathom fulcrum
#

omg helf chocobo 😍

clear apex
#

No new bodies listed

fathom fulcrum
#

I mean... just create a green orc

#

there you go, amani troll

clear apex
#

It would be nice, since it exists, for them to offer the dracthyr body types to others. By that i mean the rigging exists, just get the model on there to work

tulip sun
#

Yeah the drastic difference between the customizations and the npc forest trolls are gonna take me out of it a bit

clear apex
#

I think Amani are so ugly lol
They're like ninja turtle orcs, they don't give "troll" at all

#

Weird decision to use orcs model imo. Where did the noses go

fathom fulcrum
#

akshually given the "elven unity" stuff i would not mind if they swapped Void elf with High elf and just... let you choose which faction you wanna join similar to Pandaren

#

would be pretty cool personally

tulip sun
#

I disagree with that. Especially the latest model that Zul'jarra has looks better

clear apex
fathom fulcrum
#

High Elves are Alliance yes

clear apex
#

They're orc bodies and id rather have seen beefier zandalari used

fathom fulcrum
#

but the Pandaria starting zone lets you choose whichever faction u wanna join (at least in Classic)

#

would be cool if they did something like that for the elves, but i know it aint happening

clear apex
#

I've wanted the choice in faction for a long time but some just wouldn't make sense

fathom fulcrum
#

iirc could be wrong, cuz i speedran through it for the mount tbh

#

xd

clear apex
#

I do think allied race reasons for joining certain factions is stupid

fathom fulcrum
#

allied races are kinda stupid imo

clear apex
#

After a million years we earthen choose to join X faction and if i see my long time friend, I'll murder you

fathom fulcrum
#

I wonder if there will ever be a war or something

#

doesnt seem like it yet

#

even the Stromgarde civil war was such a nothinburger

#

but Stromgarde tabard, W

#

the interesting parts are in the books, the in-gayme campaign is pretty lame

Boring. Already happened

death to the forsaken guys ong

tulip sun
#

The most we see is the council of Dornogal send an Ambassador to the factions to keep relations open.

clear apex
#

i understand that

#

it was a joke partly

tulip sun
#

I imagine Haranir will be similar to Earthen in that regard

upper pasture
#

And for the most part we are at peace between the factions, it’s not like faction leaders told them “hey see those blue guys over there? We might have to kill them one day”

fathom fulcrum
#

i am personally not a big fan of making Earthen and Haranir playable 😔

#

work on the old races plz 😔

upper pasture
#

Why not both?

rain cave
#

the female skeleton uses the fem orc animations sure

#

but male amani use troll animations

rain cave
#

race changes generate more money than barbershops lmao

clear apex

i love this so much

lavish raptor
#

The stuff we saw in the first trailers was probably rough mockups

fathom fulcrum
#

yeaaaaah i dont think i have seen that many Earthen running around

rain cave
#

I mean, whether the new races have been good is a different debate

fathom fulcrum
#

well Earthen arent imo

rain cave
#

I think earthens fantasy is very cool, and I like them as a concept a lot

#

but they're not something I'd play xD

lavish raptor
rain cave
#

unless it was maybe a shaman

fathom fulcrum
#

I dont like their personality personally

rain cave
#

no scottish accents is criminal

fathom fulcrum
#

so tru

#

they are weird and ugly, fake dwarves

clear apex
#

Im a huge fan of haranir due to their range of customizations

rain cave
#

harranir look very cool

fathom fulcrum
#

horde dwarves, ew

rain cave
#

though I do think they might be been "beutified" after the low adoption of earthen

fathom fulcrum
rain cave
#

hence why people are able to make things that don't look like the harranir we've had

fathom fulcrum
#

Vulpera allied race = good

#

Mechagnome allied race = bad (customization, instead)

rain cave
#

like they used to be feral elves with spines and tusks but I'm seeing some beutiful customisations now, not saying that's bad but

#

it's interesting that they're adding new aesthetics

tulip sun

I like the female bearded earthen concept

Afaik its still a truce

rain cave
fathom fulcrum
rain cave
#

as much as I love monster races I must admit I like a good pretty character

#

unless they're like truly alien then I'm on board

lavish raptor
#

I think my thing is that I have so many toons already that making new toons w/ different races feel extra redundant

rain cave
#

like I wanted ascended nerubians playable so bad

#

and imo they work lore wise

fathom fulcrum
#

I wish Jaina and Baine got married

clear apex
#

I didnt find earthen ladies pretty enough to play 8|
and i thought their race was a bit boring, theyre really just dwarf shaped PCs to me

that would be cool af

clear apex
#

...they did?

#

no?

#

oh you said dwarf not earthen lol

#

the real dwarves, not the rocky impostors

#

yeah that would be cool

tulip sun
rain cave
#

Anduin already worked directly with nerubians, we are allies with them. And it's established that even though some nerubians were ascended against their will, all of them were misled, and the ascended don't fit into the society of nerubians anymore. Not to mention the new leadership probably doesn't want them around. cue anduin offering a hand to let them join the alliance

They broke up in legion I think

Genn did some evil stuff

no shot he didn't end up in the maw, clearly the jailer didn't have a use for him or else he would have been somewhere during SLs

tropic trail
little hound
# tropic trail Is he back in midnight?

Considering no NPC was datamined for him? Doubt it. And seeing as Sylvanas is returning, i'm guessing even if Sylvanas saved him? His soul was either released for redemption, or she asked him to do her job in the Maw while she comes to help us.

tropic trail
#

Hm weird cause Tyrande said something which would implicate that the Jailer did something to him

#

But still it would be funny plot to see him back haha 😆

fathom fulcrum
little hound
#

Worst case: He used his soul as fuel and yeah, gone. Worst case, i don't really care xD He was raised from a Human bully, into an undead simp. Man died a simp, can't say he'd be of any use anyways

upper pasture
#

Probably implying that he was sent to the maw and not needed for anything else

tropic trail
#

Yeah

ember blaze
#

she should have embraced the “curse” to lead her people

#

accept that as part of your kingdom of who you guys are

#

her remaining human is the most boring and lame way to end it

uncut vault
#

It's an interesting idea to highlight the downsides of the worgen curse

#

unfortunately that's the only thing they did for their heritage

upper pasture
#

eh, that's sorta the whole point of the storyline tho, right? she feels like she has to turn to lead them and finds out that she in fact doesn't have to be their leader?

uncut vault
#

WoW's always been a story built on inversion, the cool inversion of the worgen is that this horrible uncontrollable curse designed to tear the Gilneans apart was what brought them together to save their people

#

from BfA onward we've gotten a lot of "inversions of the inversion" style writing which basically just brings things back to the typical fantasy trope

#

Genn's main poke is "Our curse is also our greatest strength" for a reason, but neither their heritage nor the Reclamation of Gilneas did anything to highlight that

#

Myth gear in delves vault surely

upper pasture
#

I think we might see myth gear from nightmare prey tbh

fathom fulcrum
#

wft is that

#

the bounty thing?

#

yeah

#

interesting, hopefully it wont be champ

upper pasture
#

Yes, it’s the new solo thing they are adding to the game but has been confirmed to apply to the same rows as delves and world events

clear apex
#

prey seems awesome

upper pasture
#

i think adding myth track vault rewards once a week there would fit nicely, since it's literally something you have to do solo at the nightmare tier

fathom fulcrum
#

kraaaazy you cant get myth from delve vault

#

odd choice

upper pasture
#

maybe we will in midnight, no one knows forsure.

upper pasture
#

im sorta glad they didn't introduce it with TWW cause then it would have just created false numbers for delve engagement

fathom fulcrum
#

hero gear? 😭

#

brooooo

deep pawn
#

Blizzard is very hesitant to let you earn actual myth track loot solo

upper pasture
#

they said the reward structure isn't finished as it's the last thing they iron out

fathom fulcrum
#

I mean i dont really see why theyd be gatekeeping myth gear

#

like who cares 😭

upper pasture
#

but like i said, i wouldn't be surprised at all to see myth come from nightmare prey as it's not something you'd be able to carry people through and you'd have to earn it on your own

#

it would be very nice, but that would also mean they need to make nightmare prey actually hard and not stupid easy

fathom fulcrum
#

akshually the top sekret artifact appearance for Fury Warrior is not that bad

well i saw an interview saying you can group up lol

upper pasture
#

hmmmm

ember blaze
#

but i didnt hear anything about one mode disabling it

#

also

#

you can apparently even help someone doing it

#

i assume it would look like radiant echoes

#

u dont have to be in the phase to target someone doing it

#

s ou can heal them or buff them

upper pasture
#

you also cannot target people and heal them in radiant echoes if you aren't in the echo too

that isnt true

Wait, so prey can be done in groups?

fathom fulcrum
#

lower difficulty allegedly

clear apex
#

Hmm don't know if i like that

#

It feels like it's meant to be a little bit of a solo challenge

ember blaze
#

i think its certainly something that can be unlocked eventually

#

like they did add some mythic crests to tier 11 delves

#

but its obviously slower for u

clear apex
#

Maybe im stupid, but, i honestly don't get the big deal about getting the highest ilvl if someone is solo player

ember blaze
#

well u technically can

#

from the crests above

#

on most pieces

clear apex
#

I'm at 690,i took a 2 month break, and things are easy. I don't feel like as solo i need 700

ember blaze
#

like u can eventually craft a mythic wep

#

rings/necks

#

embellishment pieces

clear apex
#

This incoming stat squish is gonna mess with me for a while

ember blaze
#

then heroic upgrades to... 2/6? mythic right

clear apex
#

No i just mean, what good are they unless you join in for keys or mythic

ember blaze
#

not sure what you mean

#

oh i see

#

well, gear progression is a core part of the game

#

and everyone likes to progress their gear over time

#

even if ure a world quest only player

clear apex
#

Yeah but for world content, why is heroic/ mythic gear felt like it's needed, i guess

ember blaze
#

its not but

#

i do think its fine at the level it is at

#

like solo play u can still upgrade your set pieces to 2/6 mythic

#

u can still craft some mythic pieces at 5/6

#

so u got good gear progression

clear apex
#

I'm really happy i can use the catalyst to get appearances but that's my only thing i chase after

clear apex
#

... what

#

... no...

#

They're not taking this from me are they?

upper pasture
#

myth tier will only come from myth items

ember blaze
#

upgrading no longer gets u that higher difficulty appearance 😮‍💨

clear apex
#

Oh

#

Ive been turning champion gear into the normal heroic appearance

#

Err just normal raid**

ember blaze
#

but if u loot heroic i think u will get all the previous versions

#

as long as its the full set

clear apex
#

Good

ember blaze
#

but u cant upgrade to get mythic

clear apex
#

I've got mythic stuff from older raids and don't want to run the lower

#

That's fine

dense plover
#

is this a thing on retail?

ember blaze
#

but if u can stomach keys ure gonna need to run 10s for some myth pieces

clear apex
#

I'm going to tell you a secret, I've only ever run one key

upper pasture
#

im hopeful there will be enough negative feedback that they revert that change to mog break points.

ember blaze
upper pasture
#

it really is

ember blaze
#

like players have been asking to unlock all previous if u unlock a higher difficulty one

#

but then

#

like just why

dense plover
#

with the skip, i finished waking shores at level 16

#

so it looks like they may have decreased xp from quests somewhat

upper pasture
#

also tho, maybe with how simple all the classes are being "dumbed down" maybe all classes will be easier to play so...... /shrug

ember blaze
#

i hope that new player experience is better 🤔

dense plover
#

classes really arent being dumbed down

#

you just dont need to press 3 buttons before pressing your actual abilities

#

it feels really good

ember blaze
#

my little brother lost interest and found it confusing last time i got him to play lol

outlaw is all about cleaving at like 8 targets

sub is uncapped aoe with burst windows

idk how ass works lol

upper pasture

didn't stop me from playing it, i tried sub for a few weeks just because i hate myself but outlaw was pretty fun

clear apex

maybe ill try that sometime, otherwise she's getting gone

fathom fulcrum

wft uncap Warrior 😡

ember blaze
#

but i think rogue is just not very intuitive

#

and has too much rng

#

stealth gameplay also sucks in pve

upper pasture
#

too much rng and a bad tank can screw you hard

clear apex
#

i play feral and im used to the points and all but rogue just sucks for me

ember blaze
#

like sometimes u want to be chaining, but youre punished needing to re stealth

#

i think theyre removing stealth gameplay from outlaw though

oh! that might be nice, perhaps ill keep her and see how it plays in Mid

found in valdrakken

nothing else yet tho

so not implemented yet

idk if anyone specified how you get the amani troll appearances for darkespear

but this is how

It has been shown, but yeah.

So pretty much the zone storyline

#

Expected. Hmmmm.

#

I really want them to join the Horde to explain the customization 😂 😂

fathom fulcrum
#

bruuuuuh whyd u do that 😭

#

"from PvP" lemme guess

#

kill 1000 people with artifact weapon

#

cuz PvP appearances are actually honor level based

#

so i guess i am gonna be missing that one tint cuz "hIsToRiCaL cOnTeXt"

#

cool

upper pasture
#

just get the 1000 kils when you're not in remix?

fathom fulcrum
#

does that work though?

#

🤔

clear apex
#

I don't think the pvp ones work now

fathom fulcrum
#

mind u its like a 30 ilvl item

#

so u need a friend for it, if it does

upper pasture
#

you just mog the apperance no? just like the dungeon ones?

clear apex
#

You can't earn them

fathom fulcrum
#

u need to kill 1000 people with the artifakt weapon

clear apex
#

The pvp artifact ones are locked

fathom fulcrum
#

no?

clear apex
#

Some of them are

fathom fulcrum
#

okay i am really confused about what they mean "PvP" artifact

#

cuz the pvp ones clearly arent

#

the sekret appearance that requires u to murder 1000 people is then

#

like i literally unlocked my first pvp appearance by getting to level 10 honor 😭

#

omw to Valhalla

clear apex
#

Oh hmm, i thought some were unearned now

#

Maybe i mistook it

upper pasture
#

only the MT one is

fathom fulcrum
#

and the kill 1000 people tint is i guess

upper pasture
#

and any of the tints behind the MT ones if you don't have the 1st MT one

fathom fulcrum
#

if u unlocked MT during legion u can unlock the rest anytime, no?

upper pasture
#

yes

fathom fulcrum
#

on that charakter at least

fathom fulcrum
#

started playing during Dragonflight

#

PvP do be unlockable

clear apex
#

🤔 guess i was looking at the mt ones
But this is the beta channel 8p

fathom fulcrum
#

yeah?

#

i mean... Legion Remix is PTR atm, no?

upper pasture
#

yes, any of them besides the MT is unlockable

fathom fulcrum
#

i really hope the 1000 kills one is somehow obtainable, if not THAT ONE missing tint is so gonna piss me off

#

its 100% gonna be the color I like the most

upper pasture
#

IF you own the MT tint one skin you can still unlock the other tints locked behind it, however you CANNOT unlock MT tint 1 anymore

fathom fulcrum
#

i mean they could have just made all the artifakt appearances available, just saying

#

ahead of the curve mount salute

#

you werent exclusive enough 😔

upper pasture
#

agreed but no use beating a dead horse

fathom fulcrum
#

just pisses me off that i will have part of the appearances locked, cuz muh prestige

#

but whatever

upper pasture
#

yes yes, we know. many of us feel the same way

fathom fulcrum
#

if anything having ONE SINGLE TINT of the sekret appearance locked would piss me off even more than not having MT

#

honestly

#

it would be quite hilarious if they locked pvp tints away with Lemix

#

need this set for the cape only ong

#

YOOOOOOO

#

GNOMISH ARTIFAKT WEAPON??!?!

secret artifact appearances are from legion

isnt that Legion?

I actually like the Sargerei and Headless horseman set mixed together. Feels like the two sets were made for mix/matching.

Hello @dense plover , bothering you again for the redmoon, sorry.. 🙏🏽

rain cave
#

Like they don’t match in my eyes

#

Also the fel armour has purple cloth, while horseman has red

#

This is why I long for them to add some kind of colour customisation to armour, there’s so many sets that are just a smidge off of working well together

Because colours clash

No worries aha!

Are they really making the player massacre the Amani at the end of Eversong?

in a misunderstaing maybe

The Amani are entering eversong to take Dawnwood they need

the Amani are trying to avoid combat but you know elves and trees

why not reuse the map

I've been going on about velf and nborne dh for yrs and people would argue that it wouldn't make sense

utility curio has a neat visual

deep pawn

But kill first ask later is kinda on brand for elves and trees.

exotic marten
#

its on brand for practically every race in the setting, including the trolls

hence the quip about the "historically peaceful trolls"

I get that but my impression of the story is they are trying to avoid a fight this time

but Elves mistake it as an invasion

writing up my thoughts as i play through the last one of the 3 they want tested (parhelion plaza)

so far darkway is the worst of the 3 - feels the least finished

Also, do you know the names of the haranir quest gear, if it's already in the alpha?

For delves, I generallly find them very hit or miss..

World of Warcraft Forums

Just wanted to give my delve feedback on the 3 delves mentioned in the alpha test dev notes. 1. Darkway This one needs a lot of work. The objectives aren’t labeled, the mechanics are dull and the delve itself is messy. I really like the concept of this because it shows the Twilight’s Blade are active elsewhere in the world and not just nea...

World of Warcraft Forums

Near the end of questing in Eversong, we learn that Zuljan had the amani trolls come into the zone in order to get Lightwood to fight against the Twilight’s Blade - we do this by exploring an old amani temple with Arator. We then are expected to immediately ignore everything we just saw to help Turalyon and Lorthemar attack the amani to ‘put...

dense plover
#

but probably? the outdoor delves seem to fill this niche kinda

#

parhelion plaza is essentially two concentric rings with a boss platform in the center

#

all you need to do is repair some barricades and kills some guys in the story variant i got

upper pasture
#

"We’ve seen a great deal of feedback from players about how they hope to continue upgrading the look of class set items, which has been possible since patch 10.1 by upgrading items to the point that their required crest type changed. In Midnight, there will only be one crest type per item track, and we agree that this is functionality worth keeping in the game, so we’re changing how it works.

In Midnight, we’re maintaining that functionality with a clearer trigger: reach the highest level of power within a tier, and you unlock the next tier’s appearance.

Class set and raid weapon appearances will now change after the item has been fully upgraded to 6/6 on its upgrade track."

#

and there was peace among the transmog community

austere gazelle
#

what does " there will be only one crest type per item track " means ? 🤔

upper pasture
#

no more over lap on crests

#

so no more 4 of one then 4 of another it's just all one type

#

the upgrade tracks that is, so no more needing say runed for the first half then gilded to finish it. it will be all gilded or all runed

austere gazelle
#

does that means that hero raid will drop hero crest- finally ?

#

( I mean runed )

upper pasture
#

hero raid does drop runed?

#

doesn't it?

austere gazelle
#

Oh wait I'm confused, yeah that means hero item will be able to be fully upgraded from hero raid

#

no more weird stuff were you required half mythic to max them

deep pawn
#

sounds like it

#

but it makes crests weird for m+

#

do gilded only start dropping at +10 then?

#

do you still get some pity gilded from hero and delves for crafting?

dense plover
#

yeah how does that work for delves?

#

delve gear doesnt go above champion except the weekly pieces

#

and gilded crests from +11s would essentially be worthless

deep pawn
#

You can still craft

zealous sedge
upper pasture

im not shocked they back tracked it honestly

I’m not either

pulsar minnow

Do we know if it’ll be retroactive?

the change never happened

it was a change for midnight

pulsar minnow

I mean like are we gonna get appearances below mythic if we already have them before midnight

zealous sedge

I hope they streamline the crests and actually name the crests explorer, veteran, champion etc

the tier set stuff is retroactive

why dmg numbers are so low at alpha?
they will lower all numbers with midnight?

upper pasture
#

yes, we are getting a stat squish in prepatch

#

it's been known since blizzcon lol

little hound
#

I honestly think that's just a huge +++

#

I feel the game is getting abit too high in numbers, if i wanted OP Numbers, i'd play Diablo and crit trillions KEK

#

It gives a feeling on normality with low numbers.

deep pawn
#

I prefer when squishes come at lore appropriate points like post legion

rain cave
#

Also big numbers only feel satisfying if there’s small numbers to contrast

deep pawn
#

In an ideal world the squish waited for post TLT but odds are we're getting a mega squish then

rain cave
#

Like if heroic throw is doing 10k damage, but is functionally a poke with a needle

deep pawn
#

14.0 I'd bet brings a level squish

Since now it applies also to weapons

i have a question about housing, how do neighboors work?, can i be in one with friends but if we're less than 55 invite random people to fill it?

#

i dont want it to feel empty

dense plover
#

Neighborhoods are generated as they fill up. So at launch if there is one neighborhood, once it’s 80% full, a new neighborhood will be added

#

There will probably be more than one at launch

#

Also neighborhoods are random people by default

novel zodiac
#

but i thought that i could create and manage one and fill it with guildies or friends

lavish raptor

Guilds can have their own neighborhood

All neighborhood phases are capped at 50

Guilds just share a cluster of phases

After seeing a video for it, I'm sad about a lot of class changes they're making

It looks that way though

dense plover
#

it isnt though

#

i have alpha

clear apex
#

Fire mage appears to get 4-6 spells now

dense plover
#

ah yes instead of 9 spells but 3 of them are spells you use before using a different spell

#

theyre just taking the effects and moving them into combined uses

clear apex
#

You really don't have to be so passive aggressive sounding

dense plover
#

im not

#

im telling you thats what theyre doing

#

tho a few specs are currently a bit over simplified

#

for alpha 1 they nailed it generally

#

this is the best alpha balancing ive seen

clear apex
#

But you do, often.
I'm giving my opinions on what I've been able to see. I might still feel that way when it goes live

#

I don't want what happened with ff14

dense plover
#

theyll fix the rest

dense plover
#

ff14's problem is not that its simple

#

some classes in 14 have more buttons than some in wow

clear apex
#

They literally killed summoner by being ultra simple

dense plover
#

the problem in 14 is that classes all have the same cooldowns, and basic rotation concept

#

theres always a 90 sec or 120 sec cooldown, there is always a 4-6 button rotation that has a correct order

#

thats ff14

clear apex
#

You are right in that once i can play it, i might feel ok with it

dense plover
#

theyll be different btw

#

this is alpha 1

clear apex
#

But looking at it without being able to play it yet, it feels really dumbed down

dense plover
#

we will see significant class iteration over the next 5-6 weeks

clear apex
#

I really don't want hunter having multishot taken though. I use that for grabbing mobs

dense plover
#

its just replaced for beast mastery with a different aoe

clear apex
#

Oh, then i guess i misunderstood what Kelani said then

dense plover
#

yeah a lot of the videos ive seen from hunter people legit dont get the changes

#

for example all the people doom and glooming over survival dont understand that it isnt a haste spec anymore

clear apex
#

It sounded very "you're losing an aoe"

#

Im excited about survival

dense plover
#

its crit/mastery now b/c kill command is just on the GCD instead of having a cooldown

#

and its all about bombs and stuff

#

its very fun

clear apex
#

The bombs im less excited about, but the dual wield sounds great

dense plover
deep pawn
#

I mean Blizzard does love its passive cleave melees

#

I can get people upset and losing a dedicated AoE button but in general Blizzard seems to find balancing those hell.

dense plover
#

it just has a cooldown but works differently

clear apex
#

Arcane mage looks more fun and im happy frost gets its elemental back

deep pawn
#

which one? All its skills seem to be intended for single target rotations too

#

in that way it's very much like specs like Havoc, Assassination, Sub, etc

#

I think havoc is incredibly fun to play, so I'm not saying it's immediately bad design

#

But I get why people are worried.

dense plover
#

well half the class tree is missing right now

#

so i think demon hunters need to calm down

deep pawn
#

that's a tangent. I was comparing Havoc on live to what they're doing with Survival on Alpha. 😛

dense plover
#

oh lol

#

isnt havoc great in aoe?

deep pawn
#

It is! But it's rotation is basically the same.

dense plover
#

ah yeah

#

i dont think thats bad tho

deep pawn
#

Some people do.

dense plover
#

those people shouldnt design games

#

ff14 has separate aoe and st rotations but the only difference is the button - the mechanics are essentially identical

#

new survival has an ability that does a cone but can be aimed by rotating the player (boomstick) and i think that is a far more interesting implementation of aoe vs st

#

its in how you use the ability

#

vs having separate abilities

#

my mmo doesnt need a 14 button combat rotation

#

and i sure as shit dont want any class to have whatever abomination arcane mage currently has

#

my friend showed me a pic and i wanted to die

#

what the hell is this?

#

and this sucks too

#

i shouldnt need a wiki to play a spec

upper pasture
dense plover
#

also that

dense plover
#

6-8 buttons is honestly plenty with 1-3 situational but strong abilities mixed in

#

again, a few specs right now on alpha missed the mark

#

but overall this is the best the game has felt in a long time imo

deep pawn
#

Arcane is another one that really doesn't change what it does in AoE or Single Target

#

it's AoE is all incidental cleave.

dense plover
upper pasture
#

I might be getting old but like I like being able to play a bunch of different classes/specs and not have to go read fourms/guides and what not to be effective

proper palm
dense plover
#

i bet a chunk of the people complaining are the same people that make written and video guides about classes and thats where a chunk of their income comes from

uncut vault
dense plover
#

but it works a bit differently from my testing

#

range and width of the hit mainly

#

feels good imo

uncut vault
#

I more mean, you’re saying that survival didnt actually lose their AoE rotation differences because of it, but they did

#

Butchery is gone and replaced by passive uncontrollable cleave

dense plover
#

yes but butchery was also important because of how survival worked in general with it being a haste stacking class

#

survival works very different now

#

totally different stat priority

uncut vault
#

That was not what butchery was for lol, it was for bomb CDR and bleeds

dense plover
#

yeah but you dont need it for bomb cdr now

uncut vault
#

Which are still core to the new spec, even moreso

dense plover
#

that comes from other abilities

#

and bleeds come from bombs now if thats what you want to focus on

#

with SOME from pet but less than half

#

honestly you dont necessarily want to do bleeds as survival now

uncut vault
#

I think you’re missing the issue people are having, everything requiring input and knowledge of managing cooldowns is being removed and made entirely passive with no input

#

Yes it’s all still “there”, but that’s significantly less engaging

dense plover
#

for example, the main CDR you focus on now is the two sets of bombs

uncut vault
#

The core of the kit with tip of the spear has been removed and replaced with… nothing

dense plover
#

you want to pay attention to when its up and not so that you can use the correct abilities to reduce the cooldown of WFB

uncut vault
#

There is nothing to manage other than pressing bombs on cooldown and using basic KC/raptor strike rotation with no cooldown management

uncut vault
dense plover
#

so you shouldnt pay attention to having 0 WFB then using boomstick to reduce the cooldown or using the new bomb to do that?

uncut vault
#

This isn’t a new novel thing for Midnight

dense plover
#

oy

#

it doesnt have to be NEW

#

but it plays different

#

and the execution IS different

#

i truly think people dont understand the significance of the change to Kill Command and the addition of takedown is

uncut vault
#

You might just be describing it poorly then because it still just sounds like the existing spec but with less interesting things to manage lol

dense plover
#

its all about what abilities to use when in order to reduce the cooldown of WFB or to give it charges

#

and then theres some syncing with takedown and redone sentinel

#

which btw, sentinel is now super valid for survival

uncut vault
dense plover
#

and it feels great

uncut vault
#

Which again, is just the same CDR gameplay as the current kit but less engaging

dense plover
#

ok whatever

#

i disagree - but maybe youll just need to try it for yourself

uncut vault
#

Respectfully, this sounds like the thoughts of someone who doesn’t particularly play Survival on live in any real capacity

dense plover
#

not currently - i did previously

#

but i went through the class with someone who does

#

and they seemed to actually like the changes once they got to try it

#

they were very upset about the changes before i showed them alpha

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

i main brewmaster - the only thing im upset about is that exploding keg's damage is really bad right now

#

but thats an easy fix

ember blaze
#

channeled spells for example tend to not want you to either fully channel or constantly chain/clip

glass fulcrum
#

I just miss wildfire infusion

ember blaze
#

i think arcane mage stops their missiles cause its less dps to channel fully

#

which i personally dont like

#

then dev at a point constantly canceled it to generate reaources

I am not gonna miss tip of the spear

I either had too many or too few stacks

what your thoughts on balance druid eclipse rework?
imo i HATE it so much ngl..druid(especially guardian and balance) was easy and fun to play tbh
they said they wanna make the game easier to play, and now they ADDED 1 MORE BUTTON TO ROTATION ⁉️
fuck me, i didnt main balance, but it was fuckin' cool

people who main druid really want this
