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

[Chickat]

It's pretty damn unlikely to be economically feasible for them to do so anyway. They already have an engine that is very specificially tuned to their own needs; getting a new one would just require them to redo a lot of that work while not getting them sufficient benefits to outweigh the costs.

I think those asking for this often vastly overestimate the benefits of doing so as well.

I think it could potentially speed up development time eventually, once they get used to it. And would be a easy for them to modernize the graphics but it would cost a lot of money and take a lot of time with no guarantee of payoff. So yeah, i think they are better making a WoW2.

WHat's your point?

It’s the first reference/mention of Undermine in-game since cataclysm.

[Jastall]

Have we stopped discussing the 4 images that "leaked?"

It's been discussed to death and back already. Only thing that remains to be seen is if it's true in five days, more or less.

People are instead back to replying to a particular poster for whatever reason, when they might as well speak to a potted plant instead for all the good it'll do, and likely have a more meaningful conversation in the process.

Do know that I will be tweeting out the hype train (with due credit) as it is reaching those sublime pre-BlizzCon levels of perfection.

Why don't we get trademark leaks anymore? Got they better at hiding or what changed?

They haven't trademarked the last 2 expansions and are just using the WoW trademark.

They usually drop it, like, the day of, hours before, or some such.

Nevermind, I am a dummy.

The art style of WoW is the whole reason to play WoW. Realistic graphics in an MMO never work. It takes too much hardware power and not enough people can afford the hardware for an MMO to be successful with realistic graphics.

That explains it, thank you. It's a pity though, was always fun to just have the name and then go

[Marlamin]

Still worth keeping an eye on either way, maybe they're doing complex enough names that do require trademarking this time around.

[Nightshade711]

Well it’s a Goblin-based class, so yeah it’ll be tied to Goblin stuff. Gnomes and Vulpera can easily use Goblin tech. You start dipping into magitech, you begin to erode the core concept of the class, which is once again Goblin-based.

It’s no different than Demon Hunters being Elven based, and thus restricted to Elves.

So why can Vulpera, who aren’t goblins or even related to goblins, use Goblin tech but Orcs (who already did in WoD) can’t?

Didn't they also have some kind of construction that they could trademark it in an obscure country and were protected by international law or something?

[Ersula]

What tells you that tinker would be a hero class and not a base class like Monk? Which they did give to everyone even though it makes absolutely no sense thematically and had a ton of custom animations?

If you're asking me that why did you edit out the part of my post that said 'I think Tinkers would be regular classes"? We were talking about Evokers not being available to other races because they're a hero class.

They can be filed earlier and only 'published' on the day of announcement, yeah.

So if someone were to try to trademark "Avaloren" or "Storms of Avaloren," could they find out early?

Not sure it works like that and it would also be a waste of money

[Rathwell]

You could search for trademark applications filed. I think in the past it's often been New Zealand's trademark application that has leaked, but they have no filed trademarks from Blizzard recently, and Blizzard does not appear to do that anymore

Tinker could be ranged dps, tank, and support-dps

We already have the blueprint on the island expeditions:
- Mech driving tank
- Heal-bot healer
- Bomb, zap ranged dps.

Cool! Then the first reference since WoD.

So why can Vulpera, who aren’t goblins or even related to goblins, use Goblin tech but Orcs (who already did in WoD) can’t?

Vulpera use the Goblin skeleton, and lore wise it makes sense for Vulpera to adopt technology given their past.
