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

[Kiria]

On PTR you can't mount up as a Moonkin anymore.

This happens on live aswell, I thought it was a bug because it honestly already annoys me to heck when I drop off my mount and Moon/Starfire then hard cast my starfall only to realise im still in base form, I thought it was because I am using Glyph of stars but this now seems intended, I've reported it so many times.

[Hitei]

I was referring to that yea. If it did mean the primal storms, wouldn't there be information on how the gear is acquired? IE sold by a vendor or etc. Some wowhead comments talk about how it hasn't appeared in game yet. You can also see the set existing on live in the adventure guide -> sets tab as a cloth wearing class

Probably just world gear intended to go along with Elemental Storms but that they ultimately scrapped.

[Nebron]

So… given the context that Fyrakk is (likely) the final boss of the expansion, I have the opinion that Dawn of the Infinite should have been a raid.

That way we still could have gotten the Iridikron “final boss” but we ended up deciding/having to change those events and save Nozdormu/prevent Murozond from rising.

Agree. How cool it would be to have the raid split in two parts, with one centered around revisiting major events in Warcraft story, and the second with a temple of time with sandy aesthethics, things upside down like Karazhan and skybox from Caverns of Time. I'd love it. Really, really love it.

Well actually, that would have been the shit. That cinematic would have been good as an ending as well for the expansion.

I mount up as Moonkin all the time, if they remove that… there’ll be trouble.

[Valysar]

We'll buy tokens to buy the Augment Rune, don't worry Blizzard

[Raetary]

I'm a bit upset that there is no other red colored Moonkin option besides the raid reward.

Mkaes all the base options clash with my characters look.

Gotta be a bug.
You can still mount up with Glyph of the Stars on.

Just get the raid reward than, or is that locked to one customization?

Almost makes me wonder whether Megadungeons is about to encounter the same issues that plagued the ICC and Dragon Soul dungeons. Having to think of a concept for a dungeon players expect will inevitably lead to having to pinch ideas from what could have been a raid.

[Revamp Man]

they hired 200 more people to work on the game. what are they doing?

Also, it is the lowest amount of content they've ever made. they just cut content from major patches to spread it out in those mini patches.



No way they only planned 2 major patches. they're trying to pull another wod, but this time they can't afford it. wow is not doing great and 1 year without content would be a death sentence.

We have 2 new zones in the lifespan of the first patch and 3 forms of assault/invasions
Compare to even 7.1 which had extra suramar stuff and 1 new zone
8.1 which only had assaults and a new warfront
9.1 which had one zone and assaults

They aren't shotgunning Content at us then leaving 5 months of nothing anymore

As for the 200 new hires
They've also had layoffs
Wildfires
A pseudo union
Those tend to slow stuff down


The more I look at the story the less I'm convinced that we are getting a November release or that Amirdrassil is the final raid. We will definitely have fated season though.

Honestly still so disappointed in the dungeon having half the bosses be bronze/infinite Dragon themed, and not more stuff centered around old lore.

Could easily have replaced the sand boss and Morchie for two bosses in other areas.

[Zers Editor]

Fyrakks Death Cinematic if it is the final raid is said to have a very epic ending by the Lead Narrative Designer Steve Danuser. So something will inevitably happen that isn't just Fyrakks' death and collapse on the floor. (Could be referring to 10.2.5/10.2.7 stuff tho)

The Aspects arrive to help, the Tree blesses them and they finish Fyrakk off?

Not sure if that constitutes epic ending that players will resonate with, but perhaps.

Yeah I find this dungeon to be a bit a waste of potential.

I'd be willing to accept it if Flight Form gets Dynamic Flight. But not before that.

The story is literally about the Infinite attacking the place. If anything, there's curiously many non-infinite bosses.

[Nyel]

I think they are VERY confident that 10.2.5 and/or 11.0 will be SO GOOD that people aren't in uproar over it.

Or they don't care/cut DF because not enough revenue.

I mean they seemed to have the same impression about Dragonflight and all of their dreams were just smoke so… not sure if Blizzard has their expectations sitting right this time.

[Holdodlig]

Considering after Shadowlands reveal, they basically had nothing to show, I doubt that. The Warcraft coverage will be split among talking about the new expansion & showing off 10.3. The Augment rune is likely due to the last reputation of the expansion being added in 10.2 and I expect 10.3 to have a raid like Dragon Soul.

UPDATE: The Rune is twice the price of the normal perma-rune. Who wants to bet that's because it's supposed to last 2 raids instead of 1?

Normal season and Fated season. I mean, we already have a purple gladiator drake which is a recolor of S1 Drake so I wouldn't be surprised if we have another fated season.

[Nyel]

No 10.3 is pretty much guaranteed at this point, with where story is going, Blizz not confirming 10.2 ain't final and devs saying that WoW will take most screen time during Blizzcon.

The thing is, 10.3 wouldn’t even make sense at this point, like what would it be? Iridikron? So 3/4 raids had Incarnates as final bosses? If it’s Iridikron, what would be different this time? Void plane? And the most important aspect why 10.3 makes no sense: time. Unless the final tier would be also just 6 months and I highly highly doubt that. They never achieved this when they were at their peak, I doubt Blizzard at the bottom like they are for some time now would even try this.

Lol. That's totally what's going to happen.

Unless Iridikron shows up and does something to help bring us to 11.0 and 10.2.5/7 serve as prequel patches?

[Alanar]

In the final moments the tree flourishes and saves the day.

Yup can see it lol.
