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

We have an AOTC mount, we have the "buy past PvP sets".

This is almost certainly the last raid.

Well, AotC mount skin for Dragonriding. Problem is that we'd get a very long break unless they aim for a summer release.

I'm still surprised no one batted an eye when Thrall regained his Shaman powers out of nowhere in Shadowlands. Like I literally still can't find any lore explanation for it, and guess it just 'happens'.

The reason he lost his powers was his self doubt, it was never an outter thing stopping him, it was his self doubt, and with his time away he worked through his problems, and regained atleast some of his powers.

Well he never lost them in the first place he claims the elements don't like his actions after WoD but he clearly uses the powers in the broken shore intro to begin with so it was already contradicted in the expansion that introduced him being emo.

That is because in the questline it is revealed the elements were fine with what he did, it was his self doubt blocking him, not the elements.

The real question would be what elements responded to his call there. Then again, player Shamans have the same issue.

It seems the entire point of the Roadmap format was to avoid a content drought. I've said this before but if the next expansion comes out in August, sure. But I think they'll be playing up the November Anniversary in relation to the new release date.

The biggest reason I'm expecting an entirely new raid tier is because Shadowlands had 31 raid encounters, but Dragonflight including the Emerald Dream only has had 26. Shadowlands had Covid to deal with, so what's the excuse that Dragonflight ultimately has significantly less raid content?

IMO Shadowlands raids were all like 2-3 bosses too long. Except Nathria. I am perfectly content with the content we will end with for raids.

I mean, I do expect a fated style thing. Which was really, really fun.

Summer release is possible, honestly. But hard to say until we see how far along the expansion is, what's planned, etc.

Since its a manuscript, not a regular mount, and also a recolor, that's not a great precedent.

And we don't have "buy past pvp sets" we're only getting "buy s1 & s2's open world pvp sets" you still can't buy the honor or conquest pvp sets for s1 or 2 in 10.2

We didn't even get that for SL until Dragonflight was out. Like 10.0.7 I think even.

A good bit of this “storm stuff” was datamined for the preorder (and/or “heroic edition”) of the expansion… so…

Wasn't it just the Algarian Stormrider and maybe Squally?

I don't believe the heroic edition mount has anything to do with anything in this expansion.

No

Oh? What other stuff then was datamined for 11.0?

[Magistrate]

It's time travel story with a master time manipulator, so death is easily hand waved.

My head cannon guess is that she only became so powerful with time magic because she got the discs. Maybe it has a way to view and understand time magic, and her getting it gave her the knowledge needed to become as powerful as she became. As far as how she got it? Infinite dragon flight shenanigans. Give a mortal a way to understand the time ways and let them cook up their own ways to disrupt the timeline.

She had the eye of aman thul.

Dragonflight launched quicker than anyone anticipated. Until it came out many people consistently said it wouldn't launch as intended. But it did.

I think we might be pleasantly surprised.

They have to keep their monthly active user count up esp with d4's users dropping like 98% or some crazy amount.

I mean, I think I said this during DF thread as well. Blizzard expansion betas are only like 4ish months. Super fast.

As Marlamin explained, Squally and the CE mount are both under the same encryption key, along with the race achievements and "the Storm Rider" title. They are all linked in the sense they are encrypted together, will unencrypt together, and are already in the game in 10.1.7, and so are ready to be unencrypted with Blizzcon before 10.2 comes out. You may refuse to believe they are all part of the same content "package", but they are all encrypted together, and in the game already just waiting for Blizz to flip the switch. They aren't "for 11.0", but they are for the next expac's CE.
