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

Yo, where's that Trading post datamining?!

I assume that Panthera plate mog that looks vaguely similar to the Nighthold Druid mog is gonna be one of the rewards.

Honestly, I don't mind the outfit change. It's somewhat difficult to take her seriously as a terrorist if she's airing out her thighs to everybody.

And a Rogue who's technically still wanted by the law would occasionally change their outfit.
But for some it's easier to jump to a convoluted conspiracy theory than to think a few seconds to find more obvious explanations (lorewise or IRL)

Oh, by all means, that doesn't mean it's not true that Blizzard are absolutely only entertaining these changes because they need a craven out after all those people they molested. Even if these are changes some in the company kept shrieking for, they're still only anywhere near being entertained because the company that's still strike-busting and coercing the people they raped in court needs an easy win with Twitter—given that end of things are mostly satisfied more by superficial, skin-deep changes they can retweet and keep circulating like this than any policy changes, they're obvious placated no matter how the company continues to handle unionization and the like.

My point is just that most of these changes are also totally harmless, and I don't really care about them either way. They're not really a loss, per se, just a change, and I can't be fucked to care about pixelated thighs.

Putting on pants isn't much of an incognito though if the rest of your outfit and even hairstyle is the same, plus you are very vocal about who you are. What you are saying would make sense under normal circumstances, but at this point the convoluted conspiracy theory is more likely.

Putting on a pair of pants, while keeping literally everything else the same (including hairstyle) = changing the outfit, sure bro.

I do find this idea hilarious, that the SI:7 wouldn't recognize Vanessa if she just put on a pair of pants. I guess that her legs really were her only defining feature after all.

Just admit that Blizzard is still freaking out from the PR nightmare and they're now scared of showing women with too much skin, it's not hard.

[Sondrelk]

If they keep this fast gearing for next seasons, X.X.7 could become my favourite patches.

If nothing else I hope they have something similar for every major patch. I absolutely love how easy it is to gear up altså and gather transmog. It just slots so perfectly together with the creation catalyst and tier sets.

Or its something for 10.2. we do after all have quite a lot of evidence hinting towards an Emerald Dream patch.

I get that people are looking for reasons to be upset about “censorship” but just Mabye they updated her to match her rather recent hearth stone card?

What Panther plate mog? You mean the leather one? We already know what that looks like.

Yo, where's that Trading post datamining?!

It exists/is possible but it takes some effort and I think sites/dataminers might just be giving Blizz a break when it comes to datamining stuff Blizzard would like to keep hidden in an attempt to not make the arms race go out of hand.

Police: Do you remember anything about the attacker, sir?
Victim: Only that she had a great ass.
Police: Yep, Vanessa VanCleef. It has to be her.

[Kiivar86]

Also in regards to Vanessa, honestly if people here hadn't said anything about the pants, I'd have never have known. Its such a minor change. Oh god she wears pants now, the horror. Damn those SJWs.

That's a leather set.

[Kiivar86]

That's a leather set.

Well its the one they were referring to at least, as its panther themed and looks like the Druid tier from Nighthold.

To be fair, her lack of pants is a signature look for her, same with Whitemane.
I'm not that upset, just find it confusing that this is the same game that has nipples and bare chests left and right for many of its male cast.¨
And yeah, a lot of people do like revealing characters, so it's sad to see a lot of them getting toned down.

Maybe I'm just unobservant then, but I'd hardly count it as signature for her. Whitemane, perhaps, though again I've never paid much attention to her lack of pants either. (If anything, its her hat that I always focused on)

I just think its a bit much for people to be acting like this is some major change for her. Meanwhile I'm more thinking of how in the story the heritage quest it is clearly a way to rehab her and make her a relatively good guy and then write her out (while leaving the possibility to bring her back). I did see some others talk about this but that is more what I would be bothered by, not a slight change in outfit.

Of course, I'm not as bothered as other people, I just find it kind of lame.
Alexstrasza is imo one of the better examples of "censoring". She stills shows off skin, while not looking like she's in a bikini.
Also for my lack of input on her story, it's because I haven't done the human heritage questline, so I haven't formed an opinion there yet.

I mean it’s been like what 6 Or so characters since legion three of them using the same crappy sylvanas model and only like two of them having there thighs out while we just got bastion which had like every other Kyrian putting there thighs on full display.

It’s hardly a lot of characters being changed or even blizzard being against revealing outfits given what they are giving us with the trading post like with the chain mail Bikini.

It’s hardly a lot of characters being changed or even blizzard being against relegating outfits given what they are giving us with the trading post like with the chain mail Bikini.

I find it kind of disappointing they're still extremely reluctant on giving us more pant options, the recent "revealing" pants are quite literally just shorts. You're forced to use vanilla-tier pants if you want what Whitemane wears, because Blizzard doesn't allow you to hide your pants for some reason.

That’s true, the last none full pair I can think of is the bastion one that it’s pretty much just some weird looking shorts.

[Nathanyel]

Oh, by all means, that doesn't mean it's not true that Blizzard are absolutely only entertaining these changes because they need a craven out after all those people they molested.

I'm just saying, it's more likely that the current set of people designing NPCs simply has different collective preferences on how NPCs dress than the set of people designing NPCs 10, 20 years ago.
