Re: WoD Beta Discussion

I just wanna see the Garrison stuff atm if its available to be seen in Beta. Not the Garrisons in Shadowmoon or Frostfire that is, but the parts of it you unlock in the other zones. If that's at all possible.

For the time being, Shadowmoon and Frostfire are the only Draenor zones up for testing.

I know I should've sold my Cata beta key back in the day. Even entered a competition to win it, but all I ever did was log-in to Vashj'ir with a pre-made warrior, kill a single naga and then call it a day. Might've very briefly taken a glance at worgens and goblins as well.

With the level 100 server still not up and frequent DCs on the regular servers due to stress testing, today does not seem to be the ideal day for some beta shenanigans.

Hahahah, this is scarily similar to what I did. I logged on, went to Vash'jir with no cinematic, started the first quest and then just swam as far as I could before being killed and logging off.

Night elf nod, cheer and idle bounce will remain the same. Just upgraded to HD with facial expressions.

All animations has been given more life though. So it might still look less retarded.

by **Adry** Sat Jun 28, 2014 2:39 pm

Don't have Nelf animations at hand, but here's some human female idle animation.

So yeah, there is a HUGE difference in the emotions of the animations.

EDIT: Here's one Nelf one I do have on me:

I'll go get more later when I go back to beta town.

Yup, had a look and they're still the same ingame, sadly. Just, you know, a bit more detailed, but no less silly.

This is putting me off playing Night Elves.

What...? How! It's the same...---

Nevermind.

The human idle mouth... Yeah buddy.

Having made my way into the beta aswell, here's one for the monks:

You can now turn as normal while using Roll and Flying Serpent Kick!!!

Also, you auto attack with your equipped weapon unless you have that glyph on, even fist weapons.

Yes, that's right. Fist weapons finally have a graphical effect on monks.

by **Zouyo** Sun Jun 29, 2014 12:18 am

Okay, that is a change I hope very very very very much makes it into live!

by **Skarain** Sun Jun 29, 2014 12:33 am

Yessssssssssss!

by **Ixirar** Sun Jun 29, 2014 12:41 am

Also, all mounts have flavor descriptions like small pets do now.

Look at this gem: [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

And here's demonstration for the Flying Serpent Kick & Roll changes:

Changed it. Sorry.

If there's any interest, I'll be streaming WOD Beta footage on my twitch account (http://www.twitch.tv/ixirar). Feel free to go there if you'd like. I'll take requests and questions if any present themselves Smile

by **Rashka** Sun Jun 29, 2014 8:08 am

Oh nice.. I like that, although I'll have to be carefull which way I roll now xD

Something doesn't feel like it's completely tuned yet ^_-

For scale: 55 versatility is the amount I'm getting from wearing 1 trinket with the stat and nothing else. That's 1 trinket giving me 22% damage, 22% healing and 32% damage reduction + a fairly large agility proc.

by **Ixirar** Sun Jun 29, 2014 2:33 pm

Also, a nifty feature they've added in the beta: Char restoration tool. In the character list, you now have the option to restore previously deleted toons.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] - As you can see, besides the "Create new character" button, there's the option to restore deleted characters.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] - When you click it, you're presented with a list of recently deleted characters. The char customisation icon is the "restore this char" option.

I'm not sure how naming conflicts work in this regard. I tried to conflict the name myself and it wouldn't let me restore because "I already have an active char with that name".
