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

[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.

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

[Nadiru]

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

So just play wow lmao

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

Hello, my name is Dragon and i've playing Fire mage only(Maybe i played like a total of 5 hours of Arcane in Legion) since WOLTK.

[Edit]
Just saying that i quite dont care much about it changing or not, i just like the theme.

[Shadochi]

Well I'm hoping for IronWasher's stuff then even if it means woonz are back. Currently my most likely guess (cuz i really want revamp and not just another 4 zone island)

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.

There have been so many suspicious new accounts this leak season and they often start posting at the same time. I don't know if it's just one gigabrain leaker who's made like 50 different leaks on 50 different accounts just for the hell of it.

[Chickat]

Maybe someone should check out my post history

Interesting. I hope your "leak" is it, but not sure how i feel about heart of Azeroth coming back.

i feel like we might see some kind of like "We have a lot planned for the next X years!" kind of talk with WoW, whether thats like what ideas they have, a new expansion cadence plan since the last two have been cut short by a season (well we dont know about DF yet but people seem to think so)

It's hard to say. It could be one person, or a couple friends. Only thing I can recommend to people is keep an eye on the post count/create date of accounts, especially about leak stuff.

[kavikor]

im a new acct too but I also didnt come here to leak stuff or 'talk' with myself between alt accounts (if that is what happened)

i just always lurked for leak season and wanted to participate this time

It is what has happened several times, just in the past week or so. But you have a larger post count than most of these accounts tend to, they don't seem to like to stay with one name too long.

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 know and I have no clue why they abandoned this in favor of borrowed power three times in a row. Huge mistake. There needs to be a progression system in any form or shape, hopefully not as borrowed power though.

The whole point of Team Revamp is that we never left my friend, you should know this!

If they put in essences from the start, get rid of azerite armor, put a weekly cap & catch-up system then it should be ok

In the end the original wasn't that bad, the azerite armor was a pain. They could very well implement the path of the titans as an evergreen progression

[Northelim]

maybe you missunderstood me. i also play wow since may 2005 without interruption in sub. i like DF and my class’s design overall. i just say „coming to MMOC with your hopes is not worth it“. imo a player type like you will no longer find here, what you are searching for. that’s all. at least i stopped for myself coming here on a daily base. but i don’t stopped wow playing.

since it sounded like you are in the same boat, my advice was just: if you come to MMOC and find a whiny childish 2023 crowd, simply do no longer come here often. at least for me it works.

that’s all. maybe you missunderstood me, because i am (obviously) not a native english speaker.

ok thanks for clarafying. This makes more sense.

i wonder if they get apprehensive trying to create this sytem within the 2 year time frame knowing its going to affect the game (possibly) permanently, but honestly at this point we got a pretty well done talent system within 1 expansion's life cycle, i think they could develop this too

back? did we ever go anywhere? we've always been around, lurking in the shadows, in the corners of the devs' eyes
