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

[Donovan4893]

I couldn't find any text on the bundle page saying if the bundle goes away at some date, the last bundle for blizzconline had a date and eventually went on sale before it went away hoping this one does too to get it for a little bit cheaper even if I have to wait a while.

[Merryck]

The elemental model for a mount is always a pass for me. Just covers too much of the screen.

[Chickat]

I think the bundle is definitely worth it in monetary value if you play 2 or more of the games there's rewards for, but not if you e.g. just play WoW.

Yeah, I havent decided if im getting yet. Gonna wait to see what they announce for all the games this year first.

Also, does anyone know if you can stack battlepass unlocks? I have a diablo 4 BP unused, and if I buy this will I have 2, or will it overwrite one?

[FelPlague]

Well no big surprise the Frost elemental is NOT the Algarian Stormrider.

the pet has a really nice animation

Well that's adorable isn't it?

[ro9ue]

that is 100% a new version of the typical log in screen you are right... could they maybe play it during the going live soon for Blizzcon?

Edit: at 0:56 it says khan modan 100% dwarf xpack confirmed

Edit2: might actually be for rumble here is an continuation of the sound it seems on this page: https://news.blizzard.com/en-gb/warc...is-on-sale-now

But its specifically the login music screen. Good catch on the Khaz modan, didn't even notice that.

Khaz Modan could mean nothing, or it could be a little cheeky include if we do go to Khaz Algar. No way to know, but very cheeky blizz.

There's no way people are this clueless. The "datamining" literally says "Heroic" in front of "Algarian Stormrider." The Algarian Stormrider is clearly part of the 11.0 pre-order.

I legitimately have no idea where people got the notion that the BlizzCon mount was the same as the Algarian Stormrider. It's quite bizarre.

Yes. Very bizarre.

[Teriz]

I mean I think that's a bit of a stretchy assumption just because evokers have a lust.

Not really. You should consider that support specs are going to be limited to a very small number of classes. Probably 3-4. If we include Evokers, that leaves 3 classes, and Bloodlust/Heroism is a very powerful support effect.

That said, you could be correct that they wouldn't use that criteria. However, I still believe you're only looking at 3 additional classes getting support. There's also the possibility of Blizzard dropping a new class in 11.0 with a support spec, and then them releasing an additional support spec for another class mid-expansion. This may occur because I don't believe they're going to allow Augmentation to be the only support spec in the game beyond Dragonflight.

[Dhomeli]

this is just the theme of an Overwatch map (Blizzard World)
amazing how many people have never played

That explains it. Not a fan of FPS games.

Does anyone with any kind of music knowledge have an opinion on that new login screen music? I lack the music knowledge to articulate what I'm talking about, but there is like a rapid drumming at the top of the core sound that doesn't match any previous login screen. The best way I could describe it is like a reverberating clashing thunder sound but with rapid hits on drums... or symbols? idfk. Right at 1:00

algarian stormrider was datamined as a expansion pre-order reward

[JMitchy96]

Guys, guys! I don't think the elemental mount is the Algarian Stormrider!!!

I'm going with nothing. "Khaz Modan!" is the griffon rider's summon announcement. If you look at the top of the screen, the opposing player summoned her and a kobold.

[Dracullus]

I think we can bet money that Algarian Stormrider is a gryphon. Datamined Storm Rider Bronze/Silver/Gold achievs - remember, it's pre-order, not pre-patch territory! - suggest that either we get some special race for buying Heroic Edition or maybe achievs are just for doing any race on that mount. Logic and some datamining tells me that gryphons are next after dragons.

Btw, what's left from big datamined list that isn't part of virtual ticket/existing promotions?

[Catastrophy349]

Let's see where this thread, and the forums as a whole, take us over the coming days!

Khaz Modan is the area Ironforge is in. Do you even play the game?

There’s a nonzero chance that it’s some sort of green dragon or elemental also. I lean heavily toward believing it’s a gryphon too, but I not so secretly hope it’s a new type of green dragon or very lightning-based elemental. Less wind, more lighting. Give it to me Blizz…
