Разработчики объявили, что первый этап закрытого альфа-тестирования Dragonflight начался. Опробовать игру в этот период сможет небольшое число участников из числа создателей контента, друзей и приглашенных по заявкам с официального сайта игроков, а доступно им будет очень ограниченное количество контента.
Новые локации и дальнейший контент будут открываться постепенно по ходу тестирования.
В статье разработчиков говорится, что для получения приглашения нужно не только подать заявку, но еще и иметь активную подписку/игровое время на учетной записи World of Warcraft.
The World of Warcraft: Dragonflight Alpha Test Has Begun!The
World of Warcraft®: Dragonflight alpha test has begun! Over the course of the test, we’ll be inviting community veterans, press, fansites, and friends and family to check out the upcoming expansion and give us feedback.
Players selected to participate* will receive an email invitation directing them to download the game client directly from the Battle.net desktop app. As always, please be aware of phishing attempts—if you’re unsure whether your invitation is legitimate, please log in to your Battle.net account to verify that there is a
Dragonflight Alpha license attached (under Your Game Accounts).
For the latest content playable in the alpha, visit
this forum post.
Getting StartedIf you’ve been selected to participate in the alpha test, your Battle.net account will already be flagged for access.
- Make sure your graphics drivers are up to date.
- Run the Battle.net desktop app—it may need to update itself if you haven’t run it recently. If you don’t have the app installed, get started here.
- Once Battle.net is installed and updated, select World of Warcraft from the list of games.
- In the Game Version drop-down menu above the Play button, choose the Dragonflight Alpha (listed under In Development) option, then click Install.
- Allow installation to complete, click Play and select any of the available Test Servers.
- Create a new test character (character copy is unavailable at the moment and will come in future tests)
- Enter the game and test the content.

Providing FeedbackKeep an eye on the
WoW Community Council forums to follow the discussions on the Dragonflight Alpha.
*Accounts must have an active World of Warcraft subscription or game time to be eligible for alpha access selection. [Источник] Dragonflight Alpha is Now LiveWe have begun the alpha testing phase and want to provide all of you with some details on how we have been planning for this phase of testing to roll out before we move to the beta.
This time around we plan to do some focused zone testing early on so we can get as much feedback as possible from each phase of updates. To do this, specific zones will be available and then disabled to keep alpha testers in the active areas. While the zones are expected to weave in and out of existence during the initial stages of the alpha, the majority of other content and features will continue to persist week over week following their introduction into the alpha.
Our goal is to roll out a new phase every week. As a reminder, testing phases can be very fluid so depending on implementation, feedback, or issues, the schedule could change at a moment’s notice. Alpha testers should keep an eye on the alpha forum for updates on what is available in each update.
Here is a breakdown for what players can initially expect to see in the first phase of Dragonflight alpha:
Phase 1 Zone Experience: The Azure Span- New Race and Class: Dracthyr Evoker
- Dragonriding
- New Interface HUD Revamp
- Talent Revamps for Death Knight, Druid, Hunter, Priest, and Rogue
- Professions: Alchemy and Blacksmithing
Full details on the following phases will be shared as we get closer to them, but here are the current plans for the zones:
- Phase 2 Zone Experience: The Forbidden Reach
- Phase 3 Zone Experiences: The Forbidden Reach and Waking Shores
- Phase 4 Zone Experiences: The Forbidden Reach and Thaldraszus
- Phase 5 Zone Experiences: The Forbidden Reach and Ohn’ahran Plain
- Phase 6+ All zones are expected to be playable
Please read the patch note thread for full details of each phase as they become available.
Thanks for your interest and see you in the Dragon Isles.
