but the three days early access is, by far and away, the most important aspect of that purchase.

many, many, many people would not have purchased the epic edition if it werent for the 3 days early access - the 3 days early access is too big of a competitive advantage for someone to not purchase it.

Subjective and hard disagree.

Stop lying. Go away.

Oh wait… ignore function. Nevermind. I’ll take care of that myself. Also: stop creating alts to get around our ignores.

To whom? Only end-game, competitive players who are a minority. Within a month it won’t matter. I even wager within 2 weeks or even less it won’t matter either.

This I did not know! Cool! I may just do that for the first time ever!!

Apparently this is ilevel 425 gear and renowns up to a fairly high level. It’s more than I expected.

Lets you get some alts to 80 after your main. Devs have already said weeklies and all seasonal content is out for early access.

The biggest thing will be gold making / professions. Usually the first people to corner a market or find a good farming spot make enormous amounts of gold, especially with how df professions worked.

Players concerned with this have many months to voice their opinions through various channels (i.e. don’t just stick to forums and lament your voice wasn’t heard) to make sure devs learned from the mistakes of DF profession moguls and safeguard against it for TWW.

Not saying it won’t repeat in some form, because crafty people exist. But there’s a chance to make this less of a problem than we saw in DF. Those concerned should strike while they still can.

I agree with this. I personally dislike anything underground with one exception, Najatar and is that “underground”?

Also, what is dynamic/dragon flying" exactly? :smirk:

Dynamic flying is the name they’re using for how dragonflying works now it’ll be applied to all mounts not just the specific dragon riding ones.

The term “whale” is used to describe players who are able, and somewhat willing to spend large amounts of money to be on the top of leader boards fast. Many games in the mobile market are pay to win games, where power is bought instantly, while being competitive.

It’s mostly a mobile game thing, but since WoW also has things you can buy like gold and boosts, it’s in the same boat. With gold, you can buy carries, items, etc. Nothing’s off the table, really.

Anyone who spends to get ahead, in large amounts, is a whale.

The average player doesn’t do anything more than the subscription fee to play. That’s what’s called a ‘minnow’.

A person that occasionally buys something, like a cosmetic from the store, is a ‘dolphin’.

It’s all a spectrum of spending habits, lol.

Blizzard is the ‘shark’.

They prefer whales, because they have a lot of meat (money) on them. They are seeking out whales, trying to get them to stay forever and spend lol.

Unless of course you are an adult who can decide to do whatever you want with your money.

If I know that I am 100% going to play something on the day it launches, why wouldn’t I pre-order it and get some extras? They are getting the same money either way, I may as well get more for it.

If you think 30 is old, I feel bad for you when you hit 30 :laughing:

30 is the new 20, lol.

So many 20-somethings I see that are still basically teenagers.

30 is when adults really start to adult, imo.

Agreed. 20-somethings and under are wee babes, IMO. I just want to pat them on the head and pinch their cheeks.

So, if you have, lets say, a Donkey mount you’ll be able to fly the Donkey like a dragon??

I’m really not far from it at all :sweat_smile: Twas a joke though. Of course we are youthful flowers tilting our heads upwards towards the sun :relieved:

The problem with this thinking is that zone design is much different now. Dragonflight was designed with verticality in mind and the zones are much bigger than in past xpacs, to cater to the capabilities of dragon riding. In WW, they’re doubling down on these zone design principles, and using ground mounts as a substitute to dynamic flight (for whatever reasons, whether it’s disabilities, motion sickness, or you just hate dynamic flying or never got the hang of it) while leveling because “that’s how traditional flying always was” makes a lot less sense.

And now that my kids are at and nearing 30, I’m going to say that 35+ is when adults start to finally figure it out. LOL
