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

[Revamp Man]

I'm just ready for new talents

I get that a lot of classes have gotten reworks but WW plays the same as back in Legion and I miss fun

[Marlamin]

Looks like a LOT of Druid customization changes are in, so I think that covers that tweet someone mentioned.

The new Aquatic Form option is a Nae'dra (Wavewhisker), neat.

Holy fuck!!!

Lots of new Druid customizations!!!

Technically, that's very few new customisations... but the wording suggests they're planning to have all forms work like character customisation instead of only discrete forms.

The wording suggests a lot of them are the existing racial forms. Are they giving the racial form options to everyone? in that case druids for all here we come.

RIP the Cat Raptor cat form dream. Travel form only.

Not necessarily. The interesting part is the change from it simply being form selection to them explicitly stated as "Full Transformations". Now that could just be a consistentcy change, but it'd be kinda pointless if Full Transformations are all there is anyway. No point in specifying if there's nothing to confuse it with in the first place.

Racial forms may just be included because it covers all forms. This doesn't suggest any change in requirements to use them.

Don't think so. Thats just all available forms/options. What you can choose will be dependend on your character. This includes race and things like achievements, glyphs and tomes (or runes? i don't remember how the new items are called that unlock some of the 10.2 forms)

[huth]

Sure, but I like the idea of them being used for all races.

I don't. Especially for the ones that are very specific to the nature of Druidism for that race, like Kul Tiran and Zandalari. It would not make sense for other races to have those.

Permanent Augment Rune Added which for SL BFA Legion and WoD was all final tier additions, so very likely this is indeed the last new raid of dragonflight.

Expected based on timeline, the AOTC mount, and other signs, but still extremely disappointing for me. No 4th raid puts this expac ultimately around WoD and SL levels for good promise, fell short at the end.

Yeah it doesn't really feel like an end of expansion patch to me

Still probably a .5 on the way.

[Nibelheimy]

The augment is so close to the nail in the coffin, it is almost certainly going to be the final major tier of DF. I really hope the .5 and .75 patches have some serious lore and story for the red dragon flight. I'd hate to see yet another cover art character reduce to this level. Its getting to the point where I pray a favourite character won't end up in the forefront for this role I.E. Bolvar/Alexstraza.

[Merryck]

Dragonflight deserved 3 major patches, but at least the next expansion shouldn't suffer for it

I know this is controversial..

But I'm at the point where I'd prefer less 8+ boss raids. Give me 2-3 boss raids, but 3 raids per tier. Or 4 and 2.

More small raids feels like there is more raid content than one giant raid, even if that isn't the case from number of encounters standpoint.

[DelusionalBear]

what is this?

Map Areas
10.2.0 - Halls of Valor - Misfit Dragons
The High Gate (New)

[Villager720]

what is this?

Something to do with Wrathion and Vyranoth’s 10.2 story I’d wager.

We know they visit Odyn and the stormdrakes.

That would mean the last major patch is coming out less than a year from the expansion's initial release date: The only other expansion to do that was WoD. And I think some kind of natural disaster would have to happen for them to do that again.

Technically, its just as likely that it features the last new zone/faction of the expansion. Which normally, not all patches do. The only exception here is Shadowlands.

[Merryck]

What are the stormdrakes up to anyway? Are they loyal to Odyn and the Titans?
