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

[Kiivar86]

Not really, the mummy model is a battle pet you get from completing an achievement in Atal'Dazar.. this red version is new.

No, it's not new. It's a red version of "Miimii", which is a reward for an achievement in the Battle for Azeroth expansion.

Oh. Got me hopeful.

[ercarp]

so this is the one then

It's not out of the question, but there are two red flags to consider:

• The leak poster asked people to look at their post history, which is a bit strange.
• The original post has been edited, which is also strange.

[Shalpal]

And who likes to play the exact same spec without changes for 4 years? Yeah exactly.

A lot more people than the amount of people who liked to play the exact same spec without changes except having to farm non stop. Legion artifacts were a mini skill tree that we already have now. Same with the Heart of Azeroth, you realise we had an entirely different talent system back then yes? We don't need that back and they even said the current talent system is planned to last at least 8 years until they have to look for other ways again.

Also talent builds allow for way more variation than Azerite powers, there was always a set choice as BiS because the other powers were tuned horribly. Now nearly every class has multiple choice talent builds for every situation.

I really hope you aren't calling the Azerite system a success, because it was probably the biggest failure in this games history.

Trading post monthly reward adding to titan/old god themed speculations?

I remember the emerald dream themed swords from back in june(?) trading post reward that could’ve been thrown in what we now know is 10.2

Either that or blizzard are deliberately trying to throw us off the scent/trolling us!

[kavikor]

Yep exactly. I reach seasonal goals of M+ and Raid in like 4-5 weeks and then i have nothing to do for next 5 months. Now i know some people might say "Just go play other games", but i wanna play wow lmao

I agree 100%

id love more to do more in WoW that feels meaningful to me, which without certain systems like housing or some kind of 'museum' for my collectibles, that comes down to just power based systems that i'd be interested in

[Sondrelk]

AI has ruined it tbh. Leaks (non-text-based ones at least) used to take effort. Now anybody can just throw some words into a website and have a machine fart out a leak for them instead. It sucks.



Tbh I don't even know why people are assuming that if it comes back it would even remotely work in the same way as it did in BFA considering how that expac was received?

Ehh, AI I think is fine. It's annoying when it's blatant, but it's sometimes fun to pick apart whether something is an AI artifact, or actually just weird looking.

It really was the Algarian Stormrider that killed it. Because it both meant that Khaz Algar was all but hard confirmed, and Khaz Algar was a location we knew basically nothing about.
In one fell swoop it basically killed speculation for a World Revamp, South Seas exploration, and for that matter the Backside of Azeroth, since it now seemed like Titan Keeper rebellion with Earthen seemed to be inevitable.

Leak season seemed just fine until the achievement list got confirmed.

[Fahrad Wagner]

secrets of azeroth
new continent khaz algar for alliance
new continent kezan undermine for horde
new class: tinker
tinker has tank and support specs and is for all races
archaeology revamped to be a game mode and not a profession
new system for playing alone with AI players in dungeons and outdoor content
void and iridikron villains

I would be so down for this to be honest...

[Harbour]

Oh, what was that leak talking about reworked Glyph System?
Maybe new Heart of Azeroth (2.0) would be like Cosmetic Progression Path, unlocking different visual effects for our spells?

I think he was asking to check his post history because it related to the TP items "Azerite" swords and "Void" staff

Last one isn't that bad since it was edited last 1 minute after it was posted, probably just typo fix, I do that all the time.

[vintage79]

Sounds like the Path of Titans progression system they were thinking of doing awhile ago but scrapped.

https://wowpedia.fandom.com/wiki/Pat...tans_(feature)

I always wonder what it could be...sound cool

[ercarp]

I still think it's kind of suspicious because the real leaks rarely seem concerned about typos or grammar.

Tbh i think people couldve been more creative with Khaz Algar. Maybe a deep underground lost dwarven city in the lands we know now, or maybe under Silithus like that one guy posted, but I think people just associated the idea of Khaz Algar = Avaloren REALLY early on that no one thought they could be different things

[ercarp]

Yes, the guy who posted this said it was actually Troll woman with 5 Hearthstone cards purle and golden colored.
Even if its real, its not 11.0 related.

Thanks for letting me know, I had completely missed their post on that. It'll be interesting to see if there actually ends up being a banner like that in the Darkmoon Faire area even if it's not 11.0 related.

[Dhomeli]

That would be cool. I always thought it was a bit odd that you could earn 'legendary' spell effects for the Heart of Azeroth knowing they wouldn't be usable in the future. I never bothered chasing after most of those as a result.

[Chickat]

Don't tell me HE was right.

Props to him if he was but he didnt have to be such adick about it.

[Leowyld]

Some people are saying it was debunked because they refused to take a picture of the street outside to prove that they're on location, but to be honest, if I was in their shoes I would not be doing that either. I'd be paranoid that the photo would somehow be linked back to me.

Not the only reason I was suspicious. A brand new account appeared and its first posts were supporting the banner claims. And then they had back and forth dialogue. It felt so much like the whole Algarstorms/mage scene that played out. When one was online, the other was offline. And then, when I mentioned the banner to an account I suspect is related today, workwork shows up a page later. Goes offline immediately and that other account starts posting again. It's all some sort of weird game.

[Nymrohd]

Hmm yeah, that is a really good looking model.

Xal will need a weapon and a model

[Izalla]

They will of course announce new wow xpac for retail. Probably cata classic too. I suspect they will do something cool for either retail or classic (classic+), but im skeptical. I think they will go the safe route with:
- Retail xpac
- Cata classic
- SoM classic


The wildcard here is Metzen. Has he been working on classic+ stuff or retail?

Of course they will announce the new expansion, but when I hear "lots of stuff for Warcraft!" I think of WoW. And now it sounds more like any extra exciting stuff is not for regular WoW but for Classic instead. I don't play Classic so that means there is no actual extra cool stuff being hyped up for me, if it's true that all this extra hype is about Classic. So the dread is replacing the excitement I had for all this exciting hyped up WoW news.

[Europah]

I agree 100%

id love more to do more in WoW that feels meaningful to me, which without certain systems like housing or some kind of 'museum' for my collectibles, that comes down to just power based systems that i'd be interested in

"museum" idea sounds amazing tbh
