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

[lanerios]

Definitely think that if there is a Revamp thing its a bait past-11.0/12.0 to keep people tied down while 11.0 runs its course.

Unless again, Retail Team has pushed it aside to Classic+ and will stick to current Cosmic Storylines and the inevitable conclusion of the World Soul Extravangaza.

It's amusing really. People have been saying:

Revamp Next expansion! Trust me bro
Tinker next expansion! Trust me bro

ever since before the SL leaks started. And neither happened. And now suddenly we have to trust the drivel that it will really be next? It's adorable.

I've always seen Tinker as a meme tbh.

The whole "We will return to Azeroth and while we were away, threat X has ravaged the continents!" that happens every expansion is funnny.

most people underestimate wow 2, which could bring a breath of fresh air that's definitely needed

and don't even get me started on the "yeah, but no, because people will never want to lose their entire collection"! personally, i don't give a shit about losing everything if it's just to get back on the right foot and experience a new adventure.

however, i don't think Blizzard would take that risk, it's a AAA with no ambition

WoW 2 means absolutely nothing.

What's WoW 2? A whole different game, with different gameplay and barely connecting lore like Guild Wars 2?

Good job. You are gonna lose your entire playerbase.

Otherwise, it's just an expansion.

Guys....

The revamp has always been happening slowly with blizz updating old textures and assets and creature models...

That's a better use of time and resources.


We're not gonna get another cata level revamp.

They don't wanna make the same mistake they did with cata in that we'll lose the old world and content from it. And I seriously doubt they wanna manage cata world at the same time with this hypothetical revamp via bronze dragons.

The reason why we needed cata was for two reasons.

1) we needed flying in the old world.

2) to refurbish the leveling experience for alts and new players.

Since we obviously have flying already and the leveling has been further worked on with chromie time and ER then there's no reason to remake Kal and EK yet again.

All we need is just all old school textures to be made into HD versions and that's it.

Such a class is inevitable really. Whether it’s called a Tinker, Mechanic, Gearmaster, Mekgineer, Machinist, etc., such a class will be in WoW one way or another.

[Xilurm]

1) we needed flying in the old world.

Cough Dragonriding Cough

[Makorus]

why not? Guild Wars 2 is an extremely popular mmo.
and many others are inspired by GW2
like dragonriding for example...

Because GW2 is a completely different game from GW1 and a lot of people who enjoyed GW1 definitely did not enjoy GW2?

Is it worth losing your core playerbase just to change things up for... reasons?

[Well Done Steak]

What about it?

We're getting DR in the old world and you don't need to remake it for that.

Only thing they needed to change was the view distance. You don't need to remake the world for that...

[Xilurm]

If WoW 2 is ever made it's probably going to be action oriented.

Combine the zones so they are bigger.

I like "Mech Pilot".

I feel like Tinkers should solely exist as a mech class, to better coexist with engineering.

I like to use iron man and war machine as an analogy.

War machine is a tinker

Iron man is a tinker and an engineer

But you got to call it something other than tinker to make it work better. That's why I like "mech Pilot"

There's no need for that. The world is the same size whether you take away zone borders or not

[Makorus]

if they're not stupid they'll have to do it indeed

losing one player base to another

whatever they do, there will always be a player base
WoW lags behind other mmo in many points, so this is an excellent reason to do it

No. Losing chunks of one playerbase period.

People who like WoW want to play WoW. Not WoW2.

At best, they will keep playing WoW. But at that point you will have to work on two games at the same time.

WoW lags behind other mmo in many points,

Where, exactly?

The only MMO that's even remotely (and remotely is VERY generous) close to WoW is FFXIV. And that's just as "outdated" as WoW in terms of engine and gameplay.

If there is a world revamp, we dont have to lose it thanks to the zidormi mech that they didnt have back in cata so we could still explore zones as they are now

[Well Done Steak]

it's terribly unambitious, just like the company

No it's not....

How are you gonna make like 25 zones into end game content?

It's unneeded work when we have chromie time and ER if you're just thinking of new players.

[Well Done Steak]

Like I said in my post....

You think blizz is seriously gonna manage effectively two kals and EK's....

Again, the revamp is redundant. We don't need it.

The entire point was for flying and updated leveling, which were good on both

[Catastrophy349]

11.0 speculation! Avaloren!

[Well Done Steak]

it's actually essential

the game isn't about to evolve with unambitious conservatives who find complacency in the slightest effort

No it isn't.

All it needs is a paint job, and that's what they're slowly doing...

Cata was essential because the old world leveling was trash and we didn't have flying. That isn't the case anymore.


Plus you can't make the entirety of Kal and EK endgame....


New expansions means new lands to explore, not endgame westfall and desolace. Gtfo

Even cata had new zones that essentially were cata's new "continent"

Outlands says hi.

If they're revamped they'll most likely be half-assed like Cata, or completely new like Draenor with updates to stories that were left with cliffhangers. The cliffhangers alone are reason enough to update them.
