Dragonflight 10.X Patches & 11.0 Speculation Thread

[Zulggun]

world of warcraft 11.0 end time

Guys... guys, I think this one may actually be real!

[Berkilak]

Man it's way too early for this.

Yep. Especially this low quality. I doubt the developers themselves have plans this rigid as of yet.

[Khaza-R]

Way too early.

Also last leak season was so disappointing. Lets do better next time.

It's only true if the great oracle teriz says so. He knows best. He knows all!

Yes, way to soon to talk about 11.0. I am having a lot of fun with DF and I cannot wait to see what 10.1 has in store for us. Hopefully the Forbidden Reach patch will be good too.

[Dracullus]

Well, it's 11.0 speculation thread too after all. And reveal is closer than you think, I can't imagine first Blizzcon after 4 years without big news - even if (without Blizzcon) they wouldn't even reveal 10.3 at this point.

-No alliance and horde, all players can trade and play with eachother. Those who wish to pvp can do so with warmode.

There will never, EVER be an expansion with no Alliance or Horde. it's even more likely that races will be able to join either faction than the factions to go away.

I'd say 5 new world quests and primal storms 3.0.

I think it was only disappointing retroactively, since Dragonflight was such a curveball in design philosophy. A lot of those "leaks" would have been dead on accurate if they had continued on the Legion formula.

I think it was bad because it meandered on for so long. People thought there would be an announcement in January and then it was finally revealed in April. So it went on for months. That and certain streamers covering leaks in on their streams led to just a massive overload of low quality spam.

There was still some good ones. Like the Empire of Dragons fake or that altered world map. But it just wasn't as exciting as the past two leak seasons.

Btw doing all the reverse races on gold does give something, you get a title

That's nice.
Would have loved more transmog, or maybe even a customization option, but I can live with it just being a title.

More armor colors! Honestly the armor option should have been from dragonriding gold, not from something as inevitable as Valdrakken Renown.

And for anyone trying these, you really need to use Ascend far more than you did on the other set of challenges.

It was disappointing. Pretty much everyone knew that it was either Dragon expansion, Black Empire expansion, or Both (not we know that it might be Both), and leaks were not creative. The most creative leak was done by someone who just slapped the word "Dragon" on a purple Void background.

Meanwhile, the leak season after BfA was way more creative and original, because 1) it wasn't clear if Shadowlands were going to be continent or simply a patch zone like Argus (Shadowlands before the expansion were always depicted as a ghostly shadowy realm that didn't offer much in the way of variety and diversity in terms of environment) 2) As a result, popular leaks revolved around Lich King expansion with Revamped Northrend 2.5) And btw, I remember quite clearly that even some people around here were saying that 9.0 was going to be about Evil Lich King and Revamped Northrend, and Shadowlands would just be an endgame zone like Argus or Tanaan Jungle 3) Other popular leaks revolved around Black Empire expansion with Azeroth falling to N'Zoth and the forces of Death playing a role against N'Zoth (I'm sure everyone has seen that ghostly version of Stormwind fake leak).

It was so obvious that patch 10.0 would be Dragon expansion, because there was no other known continent left to explore, aside from maybe that meme joke banana island.

This next leak season will be way more interesting, I can guarantee you that. Already we do not have a clear path forward, and as discussed a few pages ago, 11.0 could be anything:

1) World revamp expansion (unlikely, but possible);
2) Ancient Azeroth expansion after the Murozond end boss of Dragonflight;
3) Black Empre expansion set in current Azeroth;
4) Lightbound expansion;
5) "Avaloren" expansion;
6) Faction war expansion (Turalyon turning into Garrosh 3.0/Sylvanas 2.0, I'm not saying I would like this but it is possibility that is constantly brought up here by a certain someone).
7) "Titan civil war" (personally I don't think it makes sense to make another expansion about Sargeras when there are still Light and Void threads opened, but it is possible).

Yes, the next leak season will be way more interesting. At least on other forums. This place is basically dead so you don't see a lot of leaks here but I'm guessing that the official forums and Reddit will be very lively when Dragonflight ends and leak season begins.

New(ish) PTR realms. Renamed SoM PTR realms, I believe.

Sad to see that SoM experiment didn't work out. Would have been cool tho

Tbh the big problem of classic (and especially seasons with it) is that you can't transfer the stuff back into retail. I would love a "Season of Legacy" were from the start they are clear that this is meant to give people another chance at former fomo stuff for their real wow accounts once the season ends, not before that to avoid people transfering a character once they get item XY (with the option to also transfer to classic realms if people really want to), not whatever current classic is supposed to be. They are already loosening tcg and promotional stuff, so for fairness sake they should also give people another way at "elite" rewards from past seasons/raids. At the end of the day the question is from where does prestige come from - having been there at a specific date or playing specific content with specific rules for a specific time. It would be a bit like what pokemon did with the pokemon bank basically - and I promise you classic numbers would explode if they would do this haha.

Especially if they would go the "some changes" route they currently have and include stuff like achievements from the start (so people can see what they will earn for retail) aswell as curve/cutting edge FoS for the raid tiers (labelled as Curve/Cutting Edge Raid XY (Season of Legacy)). Basically a whole optional side game that's connected to retail, like a propper "timewalking" feature.

No, it's good that you can get armour from different stuff. There are enough people out there who can't do the challenges thanks to motion sickness.

Does he now?

Such a missed opportunity for a "Recar Selsi" title haha

tbh currently, with Warmode off, only the language barrier and grouping with random players remain as outdoor hurdles, and queueing for random dungeons/LFR for instanced content.


Also, Fahrad, grats on post #1337!

Best thing is I didn't do it on purpose haha!

Anyone excited for the Trading Post next week? I surely am!

Oh, definitely. Can't wait! Well, except for the inevitable whining that you can't buy everything that's on display
