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

[Nymrohd]

Today is probably the last boring day before BlizzCon. No one's at work etc.

Tomorrow, we'll be 4 days from the big event and real leaks will probably start trickling in.

I mean we should be approaching the time when leaks coming from the convention area may begin.

Im hoping for no leaks at all this year, but that seems pretty impossible for Blizzard.

I played sub rogue a lot in WoD I enjoyed multristrike a lot. shame they got rid of that and kept the more boring versatility.

It was amusing. I wish people didn't froth at the mouth over balance, and subsequently push Blizzard into being so careful about it. At least DF has been pretty great about neat effects not just on trinkets and weapons but also crated gear and random items.

I think the issue with multistrike was that it was so many more procs for the system to process. But since then I think they have made many optimizations and they could handle multistrike now (I mean just look at the talents, it is proc bonanza)

As Jastoll pointed out, if you can't provide the necessary art assets for them, there's no point bringing those races into the class. People aren't going to be excited to play a Draenei "artificer" in a Draenei warframe that is using Goblin tinker abilities.

Considering how many people manage to play Blood Knights and Sunwalkers just fine despite having Hammer of Justice and all those other abilities that don't really fit them, I suspect people will survive seeing Draenei and Orcs throwing bombs from their mech.

But I digress, this thing has run its course at this point.

Maybe the true leak already happened

Maybe the extra time in the morning in the second day is to roll out the new posters and stuff for the stuff announced the first day so there's no chance of a dragonflight releak

It's just built-in time for recovering from the hangovers from the various parties the night before.

Also, related sidenote, both Twitch streamers EsfandTV and Knut will be IRL streaming BlizzCon so if you want additional POVs of the event outside of the official streams (and Esfand's IRL streams are always cool), there's them.

It should go without saying this is not a Tinker thread, nor a thread about a lengthy comparison of probable future classes. Let's keep that discussion to any of the several threads already devoted to it, and keep this thread as on-topic as possible as it concerns future patches and expansions.

Ahaha this time the Tinker discussion got so heated it even summoned a mod.

[Lahis]

Do we know what world the wandering isle actually exists in? Like is it hidden on the pandaria map somewhere the same way eversong woods/azuremyst are really hidden on the outlands map

It is on its own separate map.

Quel'thalas and Azuremyst exists on Outland map only because how they hmarked expanion content back then. They locked outland map away from accounts without teh expansion, thus the two new starting zones exist on that map.

SL really didn't leak much. We got the name and logo, the bolvar, and the blurb about bastion.

As far as I can remember we had absolutely nothing on the actual story context, the features, etc.

[Teriz]

It's the calm before the storm.... Can you feel it Mr Krabs?

Indeed. Just so no one tries to attack me for it later; While I think the "Soul of Azeroth" leak is the most likely, an expansion featuring Avaloren is (unfortunately) possible as well. I'm hoping for one to be true, but dreading the possibility of the other being true instead. We'll know soon enough..

That 40,000 post count is how many tinker threads they've had to stop this year

[Vakir]

Maybe I'd base it on the optional Founding of Durotar campaign, but I never played those missions so I don't know what happens in them. Art for it does use Thrall's old armor, though.

I'd say "you need to," it's spectacular, but it's pretty much permanently tainted if you ever played WC3 online and had it updated thanks to the movement to Reforged's awful god damn client/data.

One of my favorites, though. I get why they couldn't stay that way forever for story reasons, but I miss that iteration of the Horde. Still angry we can't get Ogres/Mok'nathal in the vein of how sexy the new Rexxar is.

[KyleEverett]

Soul of Azeroth as far as I know isn't a leak, someone just jokingly threw a name into the ring.

[Neoplanet]

hello guys , my first post here

so the moment is coming , and for you , what is the correct leak ?

also , can somemone post the leak drive ,its to me to see it better

[Revamp Man]

Ion specifically said in an interview they would NOT be changing existing specs into support but might consider adding more specs.

Now I cannot unsee that. Oh wait maybe we should make a gryphon that is half lion, half sea gull!

I do think Classic+ would generate more hype than an expac that is just 4 zones, 8 dungeons and a raid. The retail expac would need some big feature to compare.

Though I still have no idea what Classic+ is and given how different the opinions are, neither does the community.

Watcher also said the ripcord didn't exist and they wouldn't open the covenants

He also said we got intro skips because experiencing the story once was ok THEN said we couldn't skip the maw intro because we were supposed to experience the story on each character.


He also said trials didn't get loot in ML systems

[Moth Preacher]

Imagine if they won't announce a new expansion at this Blizzcon lol.

And two months later, just like FromSoft, they will announce it in a random tweet

Hey Teriz what is it you don't like about Avaloren?

Readiness and cleave were killed too soon
