The War Within 11.X Patches & World Soul Saga Speculation Thread

[DiscipleofCazicThule]

I can't see them treating Rumble like Immortal. The backlash and memes are hopefully lessons that they took from it. I wouldn't mind some side panels for it, but I doubt it'll be main stage for more than an announcement and trailer.

We already knew there are storms to the west of Kalimdor and east of EK, preventing sailors from exploring it all.

I took his video as mostly damage control, tbh. Because a few months ago he made a prediction video about the other side of Azeroth being full of new continents for us to explore, instead of a revamp. "Taliesin was right" seems to be an important meme to him, and so this video was to slightly adjust his prior prediction and make it fit with these new findings.

Khaz Algar could be located west of Kalimdor, but he is trying to retrofit it into his original prediction.

No harm in that though, we all do it.

yeah, not saying I am a personal fan of his strange ego but I think his/their videos are great content nonetheless Especially that Jailor-plotting video was 10/10

Anyways! For me a new whole landmass means that we won't see a revamp though as this would be too much for one xpac. :S

As someone who has been playing Rumble for a little over a month now, it's actually a really fun game.

Let's clear things out of the way, it's absolutely a gatcha game, it's absolutely Clash Royale clone. It is what it is, and it's still quite fun. I'd say the grind doesn't really start until you finish all the maps and start Heroic, so there's at least a month of casual play to be had. It's the closest thing we have to a new Warcraft RTS, and it's perfect for anyone who doesn't mind mobile gaming.

That being said, I don't see it offering much content that requires putting down money for. At most I see getting the ~$18 Arclight Booster that gives you a permanent 50% more gold acquisition boost, otherwise I've never really found myself short for gold with all by-weekly Arclight Surge events and just casually passing levels. I haven't hit a brick wall yet at least, just the grind has gotten a lot slower.

That's a brilliant idea. They learned much from the Immortal announcement.

Everquest 2 just announced it's latest expansion today if you wanted to compare the expansion of a game with 10 million subs versus 5k subs.

I really don't understand how EQ1 and EQ2 are both still being supported, but separately. Are they different universes, or different timelines? How does the lore actually connect between games?

More devs hyping up the Warcraft section of the con.

If that is the case - why so secretive? Rumble has been in Beta for months it's all over YouTube.

He said "Never in my wildest dreams" did you think you'd be covering a warcraft mobile game? Was this really his first time at Blizzard? Because smaller youtubers have been there ages ago.

EQ2 is set 500 years later. Like the PS2 mmo was set 500 years before EQ1. Revel in the sheer audacity of that property. So much of WoW was learning from its mistakes.

I dont see a lot of difference between them.
New zones, new quests, A new system for legacy dungeons?, New armor...

He's done this before. He puts out a video about what he thinks will be the expansion (before leak stuff starts happening) and then other videos based on the 'leaks' and what they might be like.

Maybe this week ptr update will have something cool datamined.

I do hope it wont fall flat as some of their hyping up in the past.

Anything datamined we should expect? Feels like most of everything should be on the PTR already.

[Valysar]

The new event was completely done in a hurry it seems ... Full bug

Honestly, I don't think I can see how that would happen unless it's for a spinoff. Any new WoW content or—in the wildest fantasies of the mentally-deluded—a new Warcraft RTS couldn't really "fall flat" insofar as the hype is oriented around the BlizzCon showing itself, even if the content actually proved bad on release.

[Foreign Exchange Ztudent]

I just fail to see what they could announce that makes this hype seem sensible and logical. It's kind of comedic at this point how everyone has driven extra hype from the President, Community Managers and employees with the starting of this hype up being the content creator space.

It just does not really feel like they've got something that would resonate and engage the audiences as of current.

[Alanar]

Pretty sure all of those things were talked about or mentioned at the wod reveal Blizzcon.

I dont remember the mention of that ogreland in any of that.

If it's really Filler Island 2 then they are basically running a con (not a convention) at this point.

Cynic says they want Blizzcon sales as they're low.

Hopeful copium says #teamworldrevamp

[Alanar]

Faralon they did say was going to be added & the faction hubs.
Ogreland was seen on the map for the original announcement.
I believe they said the shatt tier was cut because of garrisons(?)

What they didn’t say was the tannan tier, but the zone was in the files & there were weapons (like the legendary gorehowl) also found.

Ye remember most of them now, but I dont remember they openly talked about the ogreland and how they would include that.

Faralohn, set place of your garrison( which you suppose to choose), horde and alliance cities and of Shattrath raid.

World Revamp is the only thing I can think of within the confines of WoW, though it's difficult to say given the hints towards Khaz'algar.

[Nebron]

I checked it for you the Ogreland has actually been mentioned on the Blizzcon panel dedicated to in-depth on WoD. But it wasn't mentioned as part of a playable content I believe.

[Nymrohd]

I mean they'd hype it up even if it is a Shadowlands level disappointment of a preview.
