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

[Kiria]

The accusations of actual filler expansion would be deafening.
No 10.3. Reused assets everywhere. Everyone expecting a world revamp after Ion confirmed it was something that would likely happen eventually.

Only upside is that it would likely go for all kinds of crowd pleaser features, like removal of Transmog limitations on armor.

Yeah, this is kinda what I fear this sort of thing will not hold people for long at all as we cant expect a thrilling epic adventure story with the writing as it is lately.

[Teriz]

Well since Tyr is being restored AFTER the main campaign and death. of Fyrakk, not likely. It'll be a segue to 11.0

We still have at least two patches after 10.2; (10.2.5, 10.2.7). We're not going to immediately jump from 10.2 to 11.0. 11.0 comes out in late 2024.

They are part of what is presumably the feature trailer. It shows the expected features like talent revamps of covenants alongside the zones and dungeons.

Again, those were zone preview screens, i don't care what the trailer is.

Was contemplating on saying this since its 3rd hand info (so take it as you will).
Over the weekend I got 3rd hand confirmation (colleague of an ex-colleague type of thing) that the Features Overview screens are real.
As I said take this with a 50kg bag of salt since its literally a "friend of a friend" situation.(Even I am not taking it 100% for serious)
Tbh if true then I am a bit disappointed at least from the small subarea we can see of each zone. The wasteland one looks cool, but others are very basic.

that is a big yikes from me, then. see you guys in 3 years

If true, then yeah...disappointing so far.
I would like an 'other side of Azeroth' and I'm convinced we will get it because of the Map shifting kalimdor to the right to make some room for a future button to switch to the other side. (some youtubers covered this)
But I would hope for some fantastical unique-looking places over there. Those screenshots are very bland and don't showcase anything special

Their point is Blizz show zone previews inside features videos, e.g. the Shadowlands Features Overview includes 'explore the Shadowlands!' as a feature and previews the zones alongside it. That's why they're being referred to as such.

[Shadochi]

Ahhh well s*** I was hoping we were done with that x.x

If true its expected but does it look exciting? No it doesnt but they better introduce some badass systems if they dont want people laughing them off the stage.

I hope your friend's friend is full of shit :| nothing about those images wowed me

Yeah I'm hoping too still that its untrue since it is 3rd hand info. (so double the chance I was trolled)

Of course not, those patch will be the bridge between DF and 11.0 and will probably dive into that green dragon and what ever points of interest are in avaloren for Odyn and Tyr.

[Teriz]

Yeah no kidding. If those are real Blizzard has seriously lost a step.

So you're saying that 11.0 is going to be more dragons and keepers just like 10.0? You really think Blizzard is going to Kamikaza WoW in that fashion?

[Pheraz]

Yeah I'm hoping too still that its untrue since it is 3rd hand info. (so double the chance I was trolled)

Have you ever been trolled before by those friends?

[ImTheMizAwesome]

I hope the 3rd hand info is wrong because i don't want any chances that some asspull offshoot of dwarf lookin ogres in avaloren become playable so blizzard won't give us actual ogres or mok'nathals.

[Myrrh]

Conversely, I'm doubtful we'll hear anything about that Green dragon until we get there. It's a small teaser that helps to set the stage so that they can place green dragon mobs there and not have people ask 'wtf how did they get here?'

I can't imagine Blizzard would be that daft. I really, really can't. I'm with you, I hope this isn't true.

[Kiria]

Hopefully a full revamp then, if people are still interested in WoW, there's loads of great games coming out constantly.

Fingers crossed you're being trolled haha

Inb4 they add Mok'Nathal as an allied race to the asspull dwogres. I'd feel bad for y'all who care about the Mok'Nathal, but honestly it would be pretty damn funny.

Once I thought we were out, they pull us back in!

Welp, it would fall in line with Blizz compromises given their history.

You mean the 4 pictures had been ''officially'' classified as fake by the community ?

[KyleEverett]

I've always said the people claiming the 4 pictures are instantly fake because of model reuse are using a ton of copium cause they refuse to believe something like that is real...

Welp.
Guess its time to come to terms with it then.


I just hope there is some big feature to hook people in.
