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

Oh well never mind then. Suppose they can fit like 3 max.

this is why for a revamp I want them to increase the size of Kalimdor and EK.
Maybe do two part Xpack first is Kalimdor then we go into EK.

In regards to features, I'm really hoping for cross armor type mogging. Between mogging naked and all these crazy cosmetic armor pieces and sets, it make no sense to not be able to do it.

Hell I can look like a straight up mage with the necrolord korthia gear and the low res purple witch hat cosmetic as a paladin

Remove the pants restriction god damnit

BlizzCon happens this week!

(I assume no new information surfaced last night.)

Hard to keep track as to who was here and when but it turned out Algeran (spelling) and 22mage22 were probably the same person so the leaks both were talking about are fake.

I mean that blood troll tp set pretty much makes this real so fuck it why not

Add a second pants restriction so you have to have another pair of pants on under the first one.

You joke, but I'd unironically love to have an "underslot" for legs that functions like shirts do for chests.

I could see Tyr granting the Dragons their ability to reproduce back as a sign of good will. Hes either going to be an antagonist or our ally. Id rather him be an ally since hes so cool.

I think he'll be some sort of an anti-hero. At least at first.

Algarian could reference a place and not a species, though. Cause Khaz Algar is a place. ESPECIALLY if the locals of Khaz Algar developed a relationship with the dragons that migrated/were born there, as opposed to a different species of gryphon. As far as I can see, there’s nothing specifically saying it would be a gryphon other than our assumption that they might develop a similar relationship with gryphons as the Dwarves we know. Honestly, as much as I am loathe to agree with he who shall not be quoted, it’s equally likely to be an elemental as it is a gryphon.

It could be anything, they could be riding Archaeopteryx, but my counterpoint for it being a dragon: we just had an expansion where we were limited almost the entire time to use dragon mounts exclusively and everything was about dragons. Nothing wrong with dragons but you can have too much of a good thing too. And this isn't just a mount we use - this would presumably be a big part of the Algarian identity. It would be really pushing the dragon fatigue. Of course it could be that the Algarians actually only play a minor role at which point them riding dragons would maybe be less of an issue with other new stuff breaking the monotony - I still think we have plenty of dragons and even Blizzard wants to give us something fresh. They're starting in 10.2 but in a very limited scope. I just expect them to expand on that rather than return to doing more dragons.

Yeah, how about you show me what an Avaloren looks like. We knew what a Pandaren looked like from the beginning because we had Chen Stormstout from the beginning. That alone places Pandaria leaps and bounds ahead of Avaloren in terms of our knowledge about that location.

An interesting point, but i think we have a lot of details about the concept of Avaloren. I may be wrong since I haven't followed every piece of lore in DF, but...
- Avaloren is on the other side of Azeroth where storms, magic, and monster prevent most from sailing
- Odyn labeled a group known as "heretics" fled there to be away from the titans.
- Those heretics had powerful enough defenses to dissuade Odyn, a titan keeper, from visiting.
- Nightsquall sailed there with his crew and returned with treasures "we've never seen before"
- Night Squall is forming a massive, unified pirate crew to sail there and claim it all.


Now, if you also look into those ideas you can also surmise
- This continent must not have been part of the Azeroth "Pangea" that existed during the sundering (which may also mean they've never encountered demons?)
- That may also mean not being affected in any way by the Well of Eternity or the powers that created elven kind to begin with.
- That these heretics have either incredibly powerful technology or found something to make themselves powerful since they dissuaded Odyn from pursuing them due to their overwhelming defensives.
- That there may be a ton of pirates to fight there?

I'd say those things could make for an expansion setting... Mysteries, power, pirates, secrets, cultures. Especially when you compare it to what we know about places like Tel'abim, or what we previously knew of the Dragon Isles prior to their full development into an expansion. It may not be the most ideal setting to some, and there may be other places that are MORE developed than Avaloren, but to say there's not enough to create an expansion on isn't true, I think.

With all the cosmetics from the shop, ingame, and what not I can also see Blizzard remove the armor type restrictions from transmogs in 11.x

Yeah at first maybe he will not side with Odyn or us. He will be torn and allow Odyn to commit atrocities on us until he has had enough and joins our side halfway through 11.0 maybe?

I think a good middle ground between preserving some of the visual clarity of armor types and still allowing more expression with cross-armor transmog would be to set a limit on the amount of armor slots that can be transmogged to a different type at one time. Probably three slots max or something like that would open up a lot more room for new outfits without totally destroying what's left of armor types.

Totally fake. 10.2.7 will be followed by 10.2.9. The first x.x.9 patch. That's the big Warcraft news.

Erm, actually, 2.0.9 and 3.0.9 existed. Get your facts straight. *shakes head*

People love the Old Gods.

The underground lore is always associated with Old Gods.

So people will love underground expansion.

We worship them, heed their call even in our sleep.

And with strange aeons even death may die.
