uncut lintel

ember blaze
#

uncut lintel
#

💀

#

U THINK THEY WOULD GIVE A MOUNT LIKE THAT FOR FREE

#

HAHAHA

proper palm
#

Imagine u tryhard to 500 mount when the 200 mount hf is better

uncut lintel
#

no

proper palm
#

😂

uncut lintel
#

if we know blizzard

ember blaze
#

@uncut lintelwe got deathwing

uncut lintel
#

its gonna be money or hard to get

pulsar minnow
#

Almost all the “x mounts collected” rewards are just recolors

uncut lintel
#

i find that less valuable than a murloc

#

when even is the anniversary

proper palm
#

Yeah but mount for achivement still "rare" mount model (raid)

uncut lintel
#

it cuold be a rare drop

proper palm
#

Yes

#

Otter : NO

uncut lintel
#

im just happy the achieve mount isnt a yeti

#

i want the otter

#

its cute

#

OTTER YES

cunning fossil
#

Well yes but it's a unique recolor

uncut lintel
#

u cant have too many cute otters

cunning fossil
#

That's what I mean lol

crimson jasper
#

tldr "I don't like it so it sucks cause l cant pose with it in Stormwind"

uncut lintel
#

i mean sure they should make it magical a bit and be able to fly

#

but i love it

proper palm
#

Otter is litteraly the same rare mount of BFA horse

#

NIIIICE

uncut lintel
proper palm
#

Rarity

#

Buy to seller

uncut lintel
#

oh youre one of those

#

it needs to be rare or its bad people

#

i like the otter i hope they keep it

#

its better than that stupid pixelated yeti

pulsar minnow
#

If they really wanted to change the mount I guess they could just make it magically fly using Tuskarr friendship rainbows

proper palm
#

They will keep it since they are lazy

pulsar minnow
#

What would you really prefer over the otter?

uncut lintel
#

gay tuskarr

uncut lintel
#

u think the otter is lazy

#

compared to the yeti it is 10x better

proper palm
#

Flying shit to start 😂

uncut lintel
#

yea idk why all the mounts even if ground ones cant fly

#

still though

#

im happy with it

#

in 5 years ill get 50 more mounts and get it LUL

subtle oar
pulsar minnow
#

At the same time though I don’t really care about 500 Mount rewards, so my opinion is probably skewed. I’m gonna be on my Highland Drake all expansion long and I couldn’t be happier with it

#

I love the new Drake skeleton

uncut lintel
#

OMFG

#

WE GET FLOWER BRACELET

subtle oar
#

If we got Panda Druids, I'd maim Feral, fr @uncut lintel

uncut lintel
#

TRANSMOG

proper palm
#

I care about 500 Mount reward b'cause i farm for it xD

uncut lintel
#

id race change

proper palm
#

If we don't have another armored otter in the collection.. Ok why not

subtle oar
#

We could be panda cats together PanAdmire

uncut lintel
#

i love the otter

proper palm
#

But it's not the case ;_; 5 otter mount in this expension

uncut lintel
#

ok but u act like its the end of the world

#

we have like 50 fucking dragons andare getting more

#

this is our first stash of otter mounts

#

im just happy we are getting more things like otters, lizards, and other creatures

uncut lintel
#

evn if it is a ground mount for 500 achieve

plain violet
#

It's AMAZING.

#

Just amazing.

uncut lintel
#

I WANT A BLUE ONE

plain violet
#

YES.

subtle oar
proper palm
#

Yeah but likewise just because a person likes otters doesn't make this a good idea, most collectors are upset and want something worth the effort

uncut lintel
#

^^

plain violet
#

WE WILL HAVE A BLUE ONE.

crimson jasper
uncut lintel
subtle oar
#

I want more Cloud Serpents too

uncut lintel
#

even i would of prefered like a flying mount for it but its still better than the yeti and tahts wut im gonna keep comparing it too

crimson jasper
#

Also "worth the effort" is very subjective yea so

uncut lintel
#

also true

mossy meteor
#

new invite wave out

subtle oar
mossy meteor
#

restart your client

crimson jasper
#

oh

#

damn l'm not home

pulsar minnow
#

So I kinda forgot the lore regarding Cloud Serpents. Are they like dragons or just natural animals on Azeroth?

uncut lintel
#

invites for what

proper palm
proper palm
#

For you

uncut lintel
pulsar minnow
proper palm
subtle oar
#

@uncut lintel imagine if we could get a cloudie boi body for our Dragonriding mounts...

uncut lintel
#

yea bcuz i enjoy the game instead of getting mad bcuz other players have the same mount as me

crimson jasper
subtle oar
#

Build your own cloudie boi

uncut lintel
#

and in reality

#

if u wanna flex something in df

#

dont stand here complaining abt 500 mount achieve

#

get the glad one or stop talking

proper palm
uncut lintel
#

ok thats youre opinion

#

u want raid mounts

#

go raid

crimson jasper
proper palm
#

🤡

uncut lintel
#

idk why this convo is even stll happening when u have the solution infront of u LUL

crimson jasper
#

l'm just not as "hip" as you @subtle oar or @uncut lintel

uncut lintel
#

what

proper palm
#

'Cause you're not happy that someone doesn't like what you like, probably

crimson jasper
uncut lintel
#

but

#

thats wut ur saying too

uncut lintel
proper palm
#

I just gave my opinion

uncut lintel
#

im confused now

#

oh

proper palm
#

And you aggro me because you like otters

#

😂

subtle oar
uncut lintel
#

but u want to flex an achievement collecting mount

#

everyones gonna get it one day

dense plover
#

alpha wave is maybe going out - some people have said, but it might not be true or it might not be finished yet

uncut lintel
#

weather its an otter or not

#

but this convo is old and ur just greedy and dont want ppl to have things even if its rare bcuz of ur huge "i need to flex because im the best"

#

so im leaving

mossy meteor
#

it's true peach

proper palm
#

8% of player have 400 mount, I don't think everyone will have it one day xD (the 500)

crimson jasper
mossy meteor
#

i assume it's probably a smaller wave compare to last week

dense plover
#

idk if im still on the list or not

#

they dont usually remove people

mossy meteor
#

hmm well

dense plover
#

im just frustrated - ive tested a lot and submitted a ton of reports

mossy meteor
#

just sub

dense plover
#

this is the first time i havent gotten into the alpha since Legion

subtle oar
uncut lintel
#

how many rounds of testing do they usually do

dense plover
uncut lintel
#

like for invites

mossy meteor
#

depends @uncut lintel

#

DF alpha will be 1-1.5 months long

dense plover
#

at least

mossy meteor
#

yeah

dense plover
#

thats when we hit phase 6

uncut lintel
dense plover
#

but i dont think theyll transition to beta

#

its very likely the expac will release very late this year to provide them as much time as possible

uncut lintel
#

oh wait wht thats a short alpha

#

wtf

mossy meteor
#

i think we'll get a 'beta' anyway

ionic terrace
uncut lintel
#

wtf

#

ok maybe we are getting dragonflight in nov or dec

subtle oar
#

@uncut lintel @uncut lintel @uncut lintel

I was just thinking.... WHAT IF THEY GIVE US BACKPACKS LIKE THE BLACK DRAGON ONE FROM VISIONS, BUT COLOURED AFTER THE OTHER FLIGHTS?!

dense plover
#

omg the enhancement tree

#

you can go all in on stormbringer and windfury weapon and i love it

subtle oar
dense plover
subtle oar
#

Lol

cerulean lava
#

Is the new alpha build live?

dense plover
#

hasnt been pushed yet

#

partial push happened when they pushed the wrath build

#

dont know if what i did is any good, but i think it would be fun

#

afaict, class talent tree for enh is kinda shit

uncut vault
#

looks like dracthyr might be getting their own unique intro to Waking Shores and dragonriding, that's neat

#

not sure if Lowlands is the codename for waking shores or forbidden reach though

cobalt spoke
#

man

cerulean lava
#

the new dragonflight build Xp Required changes, the left is the old one and the right is the new

cobalt spoke
#

shaman tree is literally everything they could've ever asked for

#

and shadow's is dogwater

cunning fossil
#

Who @ me

cunning fossil
uncut vault
#

MM tree is basically perfect for me now, they fixed basically all my issues lol

cunning fossil
#

1st week of alpha

cobalt spoke
#

I mean

#

Just look at the shaman tree?

#

or rogue

cunning fossil
#

It just released kek.
But I getcha.

#

I'd just wait to see how long they go without changing it at all

plain violet
#

Wow, galactic guardian build for guardian is harder.

cobalt spoke
#

When so much feedback gets put together and subsequently ignored... it gnaws on you

cunning fossil
#

Yeah. I hope they revert it tbh

#

Not many ways to deal Arcane damage as Guardian

#

Also fair

plain violet
#

Exact, they also nerfed it, it's not arcane and nature anymore, only arcane.

#

So it will not scale with rage of the sleeper..

cunning fossil
#

Yeah that absolutely sucks

#

Maybe they'll go back on it hopefully

#

It will still be a build I'll make but dang

plain violet
#

I hope it too.. ^^'

#

I will test multiple build, I really like the idea of magic bear, but still.

cunning fossil
#

Totally

cerulean lava
#

I loved the new Restoration Shaman talents tree!!

cunning fossil
#

I made a build BEFORE They updated it to nature and arcane

#

Also agreed, Shaman finally gets all that utility they have to good use

#

They can just do so much

plain violet
#

Shaman have to many utilities, yes. 😁

cerulean lava
#

Yeah, Shaman is such a complete** class, that little talent tree wasn't good for him

uncut lintel
#

💀

cunning fossil
#

Lmao

cerulean lava
#

theres only the shaman tree in thisd build?

cunning fossil
#

Yhey finally unleash their true utility potential

cunning fossil
cobalt spoke
#

shams legit got some wild stuff

cerulean lava
#

okok

cobalt spoke
#

im jelly

uncut lintel
#

shamans r finally being loved

dense plover
#

this build is taking forever

uncut lintel
#

then build it faster

cobalt spoke
#

<insert bob the builder emote>

cunning fossil
#

Lol

#

But yeah I din't know why the build is taking so long to create

harsh wedge
#

Alpha invites went out by the way, just got it

uncut lintel
#

did we get to see the jyllcat s4 model yet

#

or no

dense plover
harsh wedge
#

I am, and I am a main shaman for three expansions which could work with the theory of bringing players of the class ?

uncut vault
#

lets go gamers

dense plover
#

or its also about being subbed ¯_(ツ)_/¯

cunning fossil
#

AYO

dense plover
#

porter, youre subbed right?

cunning fossil
#

The boy got in

uncut vault
dense plover
#

yeah i think i didnt get in because im not subbed

#

thats shitty

jade basalt
#

Don't think it has anything to do with class, unless you're a top world player or something

dense plover
#

^

uncut vault
#

I mostly just hope beta doesnt follow these same restrictions

#

cause it would definitely suck if folks like peach miss out entirely due to not being subbed

dense plover
#

its also bad for them

#

historically, i account for 1-5% of first time bug reports

#

thats a lot

plain violet
#

Oh, didn't get it.. :(

jade basalt
#

*Accounts must have an active World of Warcraft subscription or game time to be eligible for alpha access selection.

dense plover
#

if i still had my blizz contact i would at least ask why theyre doing this restriction suddenly

#

yes thats what i said earlier

#

theyve for some reason decided to require a sub

#

so that you can test for them

#

which is generally kinda shitty

#

especially for someone like me who unsubbed because i stopped having fun in SLs and cant afford to resub now and genuinely contribute a ton of bug reports and other testing

jade basalt
#

If you send me your battle.net email and region I can try to get you into the next alpha invite wave

#

Not a guarantee but might be worth a shot

cobalt spoke
#

Wish I could get alpha, need to post priest feedback PepeHands

dense plover
cerulean lava
#

Requiring a subscription is like (Why would they want feedback from someone who is no longer interested in the actual game?)

dense plover
#

i mean, they literally changed a spell effect during legion because of my feedback

cerulean lava
#

I don't see so much problem on this]

cobalt spoke
#

Yea 100%

#

if you're not subbed lol

#

Shouldn't get it

dense plover
#

you know how the naga have that spell that summons a storm cloud that does lightning? they removed the flash and changed the pattern because of my feedback about it being migraine inducing

uncut lintel
#

maybe to get real feedback insteadof new randoms who dont even play the game

#

idk

#

peach

dense plover
uncut lintel
#

also i meant that as a reply but fuck me i gus

dense plover
#

again, have you seen my bug report records?

cobalt spoke
#

feel like current subs should get preference, logically speaking

cerulean lava
#

Yeah I understand that, but there are many many ppl that don't longer play the game anymore

dense plover
mossy meteor
#

peach is a King

dense plover
#

this is why i should be in alpha

#

because i report a shitton of bugs

jade basalt
#

I agree it makes sense to invite people with an active sub, but they could also invite people with an inactive sub if they look at other variables like how helpful they've been in past test phases like alpha, beta or PTR.

So like the Account who hasn't logged in once in the last 15 years indeed shouldn't get an invite, but the Account who provides lots of testing regularly should probably get one.

cerulean lava
#

yepp, I saw this yesterday I think, you're a nice beta tester but if they dont require sub lots and lots of people who don't even play the game anymore would receive the Alpha and not even know

dense plover
#

bugs include things like - "this ground is sloped weird" to "the dialogue is mismatched with the voice lines for quest XYZ" to making a forum post about effects that cause migraines

cobalt spoke
#

Idk at this point I'm a single issue gamer and if they don't make some moves on said issue... iunno

dense plover
#

and it hasnt required a sub previously

#

thats the bigger bother for me - it didnt previously require a sub

#

so why change it now?

jade basalt
#

Then again their logic probably is more along the lines of, if we throw 10000 players at this build then we're probably going to get the data we need anyway, like for most UAT testing

dense plover
#

and why exclude testers like me?

cobalt spoke
#

idk man maybe they're moneygrubbers at this point

dense plover
#

i appreciate you trying - again, its frustrating being on the other side of this and not having a contact anymore

dense plover
#

possibly related to someone somewhere wanting ACTIVE players

#

and someone else misunderstanding or screwing that up

cobalt spoke
#

mayb

#

idk the way I see it, I don't have alpha, everything I care about in alpha is going poorly, so I am a sad panda

cerulean lava
cobalt spoke
#

also only the 2nd wave

dense plover
cobalt spoke
#

so hope for next week

dense plover
#

so that doesnt make a ton of sense

uncut vault
#

I think you very likely would have this week if you were subbed

cerulean lava
#

If they saw how many bugs you reported they would probably invite you to alpha

uncut vault
#

I always get in second build, second wave

cobalt spoke
#

shrug

uncut vault
#

ever since MoP

cobalt spoke
#

maybe they just changed things

uncut vault
#

err, WoD

cobalt spoke
#

it was sylv all along, since she's been deposed all the rules changed

dense plover
#

ive been in first alpha since BfA

#

during legion i won a key

#

warlords i got in mid-beta by luck

cobalt spoke
#

Think the earliest I've gotten into a beta was legion or wod idr now

cerulean lava
#

I never got the Alpha :PP

cobalt spoke
#

but I dont think I ever got in an alpha

#

nearly 15 year uninterrupted sub btw

devout tartan
#

Many testers and theorycrafters don't have yet too

cobalt spoke
#

yea that's the biggest issue for me

devout tartan
#

Not rly certain about this one

cobalt spoke
#

people who know how specs work can't get feedback in

#

I think one of the priest theorycrafters finally got in Prayge

dense plover
cerulean lava
#

I remember almost every week of Shadowlands Alpha/Beta wave I was waiting for a drop but I didn't get it

dense plover
#

i just wasnt having fun, and endwalker was coming out

cobalt spoke
#

I've been in this prison since mid BC LUL

#

2007 i think I started and never stopped

devout tartan
#

Maybe less alpha spots I dunno

cobalt spoke
#

well my sub never lapsed I should say

#

I took a short mental break at the end of dazaralor

cerulean lava
#

I unsubscribed too

cobalt spoke
#

Missed out on jaina ce Sadge

dense plover
#

actually i was pissed at the story

cerulean lava
#

the story too

dense plover
#

the total lack of motivation for the jailer and they did my boy kelthuzad dirty

cerulean lava
#

so boring

dense plover
#

i just lost interest

cobalt spoke
#

I'm just glad that sylv is out of the picture finally

dense plover
#

and i play for the story

cobalt spoke
#

way too many expansions giga focused on her

cerulean lava
#

The only thing I liked about the story was Revendreth

cobalt spoke
#

Revendreth slapped

#

Wish we got more Denny

cerulean lava
#

the Sylvanas fight was sooo bad

#

imo

cobalt spoke
#

p1 and 3 were fine

#

p2 was not great.

uncut vault
#

felt like they were too afraid to pull another deathwing and give her two fights

#

so they shoved all their ideas into one and it turned out really long and drawn out

cobalt spoke
#

p2 could've just not existed

#

with a slightly longer p1 and p3, fight woulda be great

uncut vault
#

if only theyd put all that animation/modeling work from phase 2 into phase 1, and had her actually rip apart torghast

#

instead of just little baby spikes

cobalt spoke
#

what's it called

#

orc in the foundry

#

blackhand vibes

uncut vault
#

Basically yeah

#

the dungeon journal sounded so cool, but then the actual fight was just tiny little chunks on the edge of the arena

#

I was expecting more like this lol

cobalt spoke
#

yea rives were

#

not really impressive but just really annoying

#

esp the mythic ones

cerulean lava
#

I really liked the Sludgefist fight, like, the Castle Nathria almost all of it was pretty cool, I just didn't like too much the Stone Legion Generals fight, but it wasn't so bad

cobalt spoke
#

CN was a good raid

#

SLG could have been better tho

barren vigil
#

alpha still down?

ember blaze
#

and chasing after her

mossy meteor
#

hmm so how do you get alpha

#

i see a lot of people that are like, normal people, get alpha

#

kinda jealous

cerulean lava
#

From the Dungeon Journal, the Jailer fight looked very interesting and fun, but in reality it was pretty basic imo

barren vigil
#

just register and hope your get RNGed

cerulean lava
#

for a final boss

cobalt spoke
cerulean lava
#

I think the wave is gone, if you haven't received it I think it's only next week now

mossy meteor
#

yeah

cerulean lava
#

I saw a guy on twitter who received the Alpha today

tropic trail
#

Can confirm a new wave went out, just got in

#

Anyone know when alpha servers go back online?

cunning fossil
#

Nope

mossy meteor
#

if we did

#

we probably wouldn't be here

cunning fossil
#

Everyone is in the darj

ivory meadow
#

or have active game time

mossy meteor
#

yeah

#

the only time i didn't have active game time/sub was for a few weeks before 9.1

#

but that was because i was doing ptr testing

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

pulsar minnow
#

I got into BFA Beta and Shadowlands Beta. I only got Shadowlands because I won an art contest held by MrGM

#

I highly doubt I’d get into Alpha

cunning fossil
#

I should get alpha

#

I've been in the discord since Legion

#

I DESERVE IT

upper pasture
#

Kek

cunning fossil
#

also I would legitimately love to do testing. It sounds fun and fulfilling

upper pasture
#

It is but can cause burnout too

pulsar minnow
#

Same! I would do so much testing (I will not report a single bug)

upper pasture
#

I beta test WotLK and let me tell you my drive to play DKs at launch was zero after testing them for so long

cerulean lava
uncut vault
#

Thanks haha

dense plover
#

still not out

#

this is crazy

#

fingers crossed ill get in next time with some help 😦

barren vigil
#

yeah anyone whos anyone got into the alpha. im suprised at those who didnt honestly

cunning fossil
#

New shinyyy

pulsar minnow
#

Are the new frames in?

barren vigil
#

alpha is still down atm

cunning fossil
#

Unsure

#

These were datam8ned I think

pulsar minnow
cunning fossil
#

It looks cool as hell though

#

I am so pumped

#

So many times I've seen an add on and went "dang I'd like to do that...but I don't like having to manage a ton of addons"

#

So now it's all in the base UI and it's gonna be on a per spec basis

#

I hope we can move buffs

upper pasture
#

It’s fine, I didn’t want to be in the stupid alpha… sniffle

dense plover
#

build has been pushed

#

just went out

cunning fossil
#

Finalyy

dense plover
#

now i wait for it to be uploaded and processed on wow.tools since i cant play this week

mossy meteor
cunning fossil
#

Oo

mossy meteor
#

late build tbh

cunning fossil
#

👀

dense plover
#

its on wow.tools

#

ill share my discoveries

#

menu has a FOV option now

ember blaze
#

@dense ploveranything about those new world quests? 🤔

dense plover
#

working my way there

ember blaze
#

also, launch dec 31 waiting room 😭

dense plover
#

quests themselves will be server side

#

but im looking for the garr talent thing

#

broadcast text

#

theres some stuff about the Khanam Matra not wanting to join the primalists - i think this is the centaurs

#

looks like the drakthyr intro has some kind of conflict between malygos and neltharion or at least the blues and blacks

cunning fossil
#

Your auto-attacks have a 20% chance to hurl weapons at your target and 3 other enemies in front of you, dealing an additional (20% of Attack power) Physical damage.

This is awesone

dense plover
#

seems like all the text about raszageth being friends with neltharion have been cut - he is just a villain now? probably being rewritten

#

"Dracthyr's Wheelchair" - this is listed under creatures

cobalt spoke
cunning fossil
#

Gimped drakthyr

dense plover
#

Unlock the Hunting Bakar companion during Shikaar Hunting Parties. When your Bakar companion attacks an enemy below 20% health it will go for the throat, inflicting Physical damage and restoring health to you.

#

looks like hunting stuff has companions that you bring with you that do different stuff

#

Companion: Ohuna Unlock the Shikaar Ohuna companion during Shikaar Hunting Parties Your speed is increased by 10%. This bonus is increased to 70% for 5 seconds after slaying an enemy

#

i think bakar and ohuna are different creatures

#

ohuna is some kind of bird

#

bakar is some kind of legged beast

#

Proof of Prowess Slaying a creature grants 1% increased primary and stamina for 30 seconds. This effect stacks up to 20 times. this used to be called Monster Slayer and is likely related to the hunts

#

Shikaar Mentorship Shikaar Hunters will grant you a boon, increasing one of your secondaries for the duration of the Hunting Party.

#

thats pretty much it for those files

#

[DNT] Voice (Wont appear in public builds) in chrcustomizationoption

#

so its likely that voice is just being tied to body type for now

haughty houndBOT
dense plover
#

they also removed the strings related to pronouns

#

i wouldnt be surprised if they put them somewhere else

#

Thaelin Darkanvil at the Dragonscale Basecamp to pursue additional Ancient Waygates across the Dragon Isles. - looks like the waygates are being handled by dwarves?

cunning fossil
#

Interesting

dense plover
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

surprised it isnt a bronzebeard or something

#

@uncut vault old build

#

new build

#

its all icy now

#

and the bubble is gone

#

i wonder if the blue dragons are doing bad stuff or if its related to the primalists

#

theres this whole weird crazy spiral thing here now

uncut vault
#

sand almost looks snowy, weird

dense plover
#

it is snow

#

its snow and ice

#

but its not there on the normal map, only the instanced

mossy meteor
#

nomi is back

cunning fossil
#

Uh oh

dense plover
#

no other changes on that grand time adventure map

#

but the one i found is fairly substatial

cunning fossil
#

This looks fun

cobalt spoke
#

So they took it away for shadowlands, only to reintroduce it if you have the right stats?

cunning fossil
#

What do u mean?

cobalt spoke
#

they ditched potion proccing in SL, and now they're bringing it back if you have the right profession stats?

cunning fossil
#

When was that a thing before SL?

#

Not in BFA I don't think

upper pasture
#

Potion mastery?

cunning fossil
#

Potion mastery hasn't been in for a long while yho

cobalt spoke
#

it was in legion i know that

#

maybe they did ditch it in bfa

upper pasture
#

But it still functioned didn’t it?

cobalt spoke
#

I know I was extremely upset they removed it since I did all those questlines

#

Hell I think my alchemy still shows "potion master" in my spellbook

#

but I suppose it coming back.. in whatever form is good

dense plover
#

cant find anything else significant other than they went through and cleaned up the intro version of the drakthyr map

#

something to note - it is distinct from the in world version, implying that we will in fact return there as its own zone

#

probably for WQs or a dungeon or something

cunning fossil
cobalt spoke
#

Yea at least they're not just neutering alchy like ppl have been clamoring for them to do

#

I like my double duration flasks

cunning fossil
cobalt spoke

not to bring up FF, but it's just way better that you see someone on a mount and instantly know where they got it and how.

This would be a cool mount that is respectable enough for 500 imo

He was a young Drake in BFA and his features were still not fully developed. In DF his horns have now grown in, though he's still missing the dragon-neck fin thing that most adult dragons have

If they want to do a time skip they need to release like another cinematic or something in-game or during the questline that says it's been a couple years

they could always do an opening cinematic that starts with maiev's voice

If we see new models for Thrall's kids we'll know it's real.

And maybe a timeskip would be apart of the Pre-Patch content?

Because Uldaman is going to be apart of it (again correct me if I'm wrong) and that's in the Badlands where Deathwing left a ton of damage. Maybe they'll slightly repair the place?

uldaman is in northrend i thought

prepatch stuff doesnt stay

it needs to be part of the intro or it needs to not happen

uncut vault
#

time skip seems to be basically immediately after 9.2.5

it mentions after we returned from the Shadowlands, which was essentially then

#

so assuming it does end up staying, I wouldnt be surprised if we see some sort of quests updating us on various places in the world

#

gilneas, lordaeron, and nordrassil if nothing else

especially since Tirisfal is one of the locations we're going in prepatch

How do you figure?

cunning fossil
uncut vault
vernal juniper
#

(I can't rememeber daily cDs, but I only saw leveling until 50 not to 100)

cunning fossil
#

also Mat quality is a huge factor in this.

#

if all they buy is basic mats, they're not gonna make very high quality crafts

#

and there are no daily CDs. They deliberately made leveling from 1 to 50 instead of one to max so that you have to engage with the work order system in order to rank up somewhat

#

You can't even max out until other people max out with you

#

if people aren't maxing out their gathering professions and aren't specifically pushing mats that you yourself are going to use, you are not going to make anything higher than tier 3 gear

vernal juniper
#

I can't see why.

cunning fossil
#

because you literally can't slock.

#

the mats wouldn't be available

vernal juniper
#

People will max out gathering for you, they wants gold, they will post mats and mats in ah.

cunning fossil
#

But they also have to spec into a specific type of gathering in order to give you the mats you need

#

and you yourtself have to choose exactly what kind of crafts you want to make also

#

because if you want to make the best longswords, you'

#

ll actually have to spec into making swords and longbladed weapons

vernal juniper
#

It will be Region wide, someone will do

#

the pool of mats will be huge

cunning fossil
#

you will not be able to just make everything at a high level

cunning fossil
vernal juniper
#

yes, for the law of big numbers.

#

you will have ten of thousands of people who will gather, with a shared Auction house, mats will be there

cunning fossil
#

yes, and they will all be gathering mats that are subpar to what you want to make,

#

which means you willmake subpar items for a bit. but people will still buy them because they can eventually be upgraded anyways

analog sphinx

#

and with the work order syustem, I don't see how people will be able to corner the market on the best gear or whatever because there will only be so much gear you can actualy recraft at higher item level

Do some have screens of the dracthyr intro Horde side?

I wonder if there's a hate side to the horde into too

#

Like the alliance

#

What would they even hate dragons for? If anything they'd be apologising for the shit in the second war

#

Orgrimmar didn't get hit that hard by the cataclysm, and even then thrall worked against deathwing literally as the earth aspect standin with the dragons

#

And the horde knows about being used as soldiers under mind control

#

Undead and orcs

#

Sounds like they'd be right at home

Agree on that, and the dragon-slavers orcs were not really in a good shape after MoP...

That's why they join a faction

They are suspicious after being controlled by them

And locked away

I do wonder if the visage form plotpoint turalyon brought up will bear fruit

#

Infinite dragon flight instead of forcefully changing events, they go back and infiltrate in visage forms to change events

And we need to use the method turalyon wants from Shaw

But us playables dracthyrs still have our vow, our oath to them

If you talk about primalists, yeah, totally dislike dragons

gotcha, so yeah, it was probably removed from broadcast text b/c they either encrypted it or its being done as one of the types of cinematics that doesnt store the text there

plain violet
#

Possible... :(

jade basalt
#

When you speak to Wrathion to start Dragon Isles questing he has 3 dialog options for 3 cinematics and one is called 'Origin of the Dracthyr'

plain violet
#

Mmmmh..

#

That could be the reason behind the Netlharion model.

dense plover

thats good since if the broadcast text is even half right, it sets up raszageth as the villain

jade basalt

Emberthal* actually

#

Yeah

uncut vault
#

I wonder if those might end up being this xpac's 2.5D anims

#

rather than the aspect ones people have been expecting

dense plover
#

well, i would assume fall of deathwing is just the cata deathwing raid cinematic

#

since thats when the aspects lose a bunch of their power

#

and dawn might be tied to prepatch

uncut vault
#

One of them also needs to explain his corruption

dense plover
#

since the uldaman stuff has new dragon aspect carvings

uncut vault

that one is the most likely candidate, but the cata cinematic doesnt do that

dense plover
#

its fair that they could also be the 2.5D cinematics, yes

#

tho i hope the origin one is 3d

uncut vault

I hope all the dracthyr ones are, its more just a possibility

#

The raszagath one will be at least

proper palm

Emberthal is a black dragonflight dragon ? (DRACHTYR *)

Although it should probably be called Fall of Neltharion if that was the case

#

I can't wait promotional videos ❤️

dense plover
#

assuming they just play

jade basalt
#

You'd still have that dialogue to re-play them though, like when you ask Magni 'Tell me about..' so he can play cinematics for you in BFA, I think

dense plover
#

i guess thats fair

jade basalt
#

Like if one of them is part of the dracthyr intro then non-dracthyr would also need a way to see it, and I think that's it

dense plover
#

once we know what the cinematics are, i guess you can submit a bug report assuming it is about neltharion becoming deathwing

jade basalt
#

Note that there's one (or two?) other cinematic offered by Turalyon or Wrathion, tells you about 'recent events' and the council of the Aspects

#

It's supposed to be the reason they invited us to the Dragon Isles

dense plover
#

ok so theres gonna be a whole bunch of cinematics

#

neat

#

i imagine the aspects inviting us has to do with them barely being able to hold their own, let alone fight off the primalists

#

and thats what the council is

#

them maybe starting in their high elf form, then getting heated and turning into dragons

#

full rendered cinematic (not CGI)

though CGI would be neat

i hope we get more CGI like we did in BfA

they all serve(d) Neltharion and him alone

rain cave
#

dawn of the aspects showing him in his best days, then to him turning a bit raving, creatting the dracthyr

#

before finally succumbing and becoming deathwing

jade basalt
#

Their naming convention is based on their color yeah, Azurathel is blue for instance.

But that's it. She isn't part of the blue flight, and she is not even good at magic, she says she sucks at arcane and spells.

Their abilities are based on their weyrn, which means their 'group'. Azurathel is part of the Obsidian Warders, so she's a defense gal. The Ebon Blades are the mages, the Healing Wings are the healers, etc. But you could be part of the healers and have a red skin color and red-themed name.

#

An 'evoker' is a Dracthyr who masters the abilities of all the weyrn, and can switch role at will.

#

You're basically one of the few evokers left, maybe the only one cause every other character I found was non-evoker.

#

Dervishian for example wanted to specialize in diplomacy.

Viridia is a healer.

#

Also they have cute nick names. A few dracthyr call Cindrethresh 'Cindre', and Azurathel is 'Zury'.

.. and now they're gonna join different factions and kill each other for no reason I suppose.

proper palm
#

Ok so they still kept the logic of the color and the name
This is important to me since I only do consistent lore accurate characters 😂

PVP never made sense in lore anyway :/

jade basalt
#

Feel like joining a faction should be an individual, personal choice, for a Dracthyr, kinda like for pandaren.
Doesn't make any sense that these entire groups of dracthyr decided to each join a faction and ultimately they'll have to fight each other.

uncut vault
#

at the very least the story atm is more just "they went with one of the dragons to try and convince them of the threat because their inclinations match that faction better

#

so it's at least better than pandaren where you choose to join one faction actively at war and murdering the other lol

#

if they're smart, theyll give some story over time of the dracthyr bonding with their faction, rather than just dropping them in and leaving them

jade basalt

They directly join the factions

Oh i forget, sorry, Blizzard doesnt care about paladins anymore 😂 😭

uncut lintel
proper palm

OMG that fishing hat !!

dense plover
#

ok - great adventure theory - each of the zones chosen has a dragon right?

uncut vault
#

Does pandaren revolution? Dunno if cloud serpents count or not haha

dense plover

nyalotha - corrupted wrathion and that void dragon lady, vale of eternal blossoms - jade serpent, war of the shifting sands - grakkarond, onyxias layer - a whole bunch, and im not sure about the gnoll wars

#

i think the jade serpent could count

#

i dont know about the gnoll wars

#

but im thinking its one of the dragons disguised as a human

#

could be one of the prestors

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

dont know exactly what the murloc wyrmrest one is either

#

could be related to galakrond

#

idk

#

but i think theres something to me theory

#

especially with shifting sands and grakkarond

#

all i can think for the gnoll wars is someone had to unify the gnolls and maybe it was a dragon?
