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

[bruxx]

Okay today was a busy day and I'm way too far behind to catch up before Blizzcon without neglecting my wee ones so can anyone give me a run down on anything worth talking about from today? I did see the void and azerite weapons and a bit of the discussion around them. Was there anything else?

Some dude claime that some shirt with a void expansion theme leaked from the blizzcon store for a moment and gave no tangible proof whatsoever. Alledgedly being discussed at a discord channel that was never linked. The dude in question is 1 post old

New account started dropping riddle hints in binary that basically boiled down to Khaz Algar, new dwarf race, artificer class.

the first riddle for 11.0 will be found on page 1418

4:27 pg2312
The riddle was found in the shaper of worlds. For your next quest, find the fourth in the fourth, who may point you further.

5:16 pg2316
Knowledge of Warcraft is essential, the last clue may be too difficult for some. Y, C, Y, N, are the four.

5:29 pg2317
Giving you runes made it easy. The fourth god in the fourth war, he will be involved, but you already known. Your location already known: Khaz Algar. The Shaper of Worlds detailed your plot. What can you discover new? class or race? Now the 1st, 18th, and 20th, will give you some runes, the rest you will have to fill in. Use two of your eyes.

6:19 pg 2322
ART is correct, now use your eyes. The race will come next.

7:02 pg 2327
“ARTificer?”
You discovered your class... now about your race? Your first step: Go to the storm.

7:09 pg2328
The Stormpeaks are home of the Stormforged Artificer, both steps have been solved, but Stormforged Iron Dwarf is not your race. The Earthen of Khaz Algar, based on them. You got your plot, your continent, your race, your class, but what about systems?

7:11 pg2329
It is time for me to sleep, and will let you think before my return, your revamped world is not just a hope.

Whilst I agree it's likely an underground expansion I just hope not all of it is underground..that'd get bland pretty quickly. If I had to guess it'd be a mix of overworld/underground using the seamless loading tech they have for Zaralek.

Some random asshole said there was an EU store page that had a Diablo 4 title (Flames of Hatred) and two "Harbinger of the Void" expansion shirts among their merch.

One post, refuses to elaborate, leaves like a chad after claiming he saw it on 2 different Discords.

So definitely legit.

I just saw that. I would think it would be all over the place by now if it actually happened, no?

dude's name? I totally missed this somehow o.o

Thank fuck I got you all to shut up about that binary shit. Now the thread is actually readable again. Mission accomplished.

They would lose so so so many subs with 6 months of fated hell.

But yeah, in my theory 10.3 also exists. Here are all my reasons why I think there will be a 10.3

• With the exception of WoD, all WoW's final major patch have come out after the expansion is at least 12 months old. 10.2 is coming out before Dragonflight's 1 year anniversary.
• 10.2 is not the climax to Dragonflight's story. "They can add that in 10.2.5" they add epilogue content after the raid. The actual climax of the expansion is always the raid & the story of 10.2 has nothing to do with Alexstrasza or Tyr, the actual narrative throughlines of this expansion.
• Dragonflight's raids have been smaller (number of encounters) than Shadowlands raids.
• And internal development was a lot more hectic during Shadowlands than it is now.

That guy shilled Worldshaper so much that it's probably Worldshaper.

Regarding a 10.2.5 epilogue follow-up, we did have Halion.

Why is no one talking about the EU gear store leak from a couple of hours ago? I refuse to have seen that in two completely seperate discords but not in here? too busy looking at 0001100101110000 shit or what?

11.0 is Harbinger of the Void. There were 2 shirts put on there for a brief moment during the store refresh. One was just the logo (similar to DF but with daggers or spikes and purple smoke on the sides rather than wings) and another was of an elf silhouette surrounded by purple.

Also a D4 shirt that was called Flames of Hatred.

I rate this leak 5 bananas/ Blue eyed bolvar

Your entire premise is they somehow deliver an entire content patch with a full raid in May or so and then do a full alpha and beta cycle before the end of the year and that is something they have NEVER done. The closest we've gotten is 9.3 to 10.0 and there's no way this tier is over in February.

[Nightshade711]

They should have saved the Dawn of the infinite patch for until after 10.2.
Then they could have used that storyline to justify the fated season & the affixes.

The amount of hopium I have for this being true....

[Well Done Steak]

IF it is underground either it has to be a hallow earth situation, or only partially underground.

Otherwise, no way we're getting 5 flavors of deepholm with a side of zaralek

The guy literally said it was fake and he did it to make us stop with the riddles.

Anyway, if they really needed to extend things out til 11.0 but needed a glut of content that wasn't necessarily a raid in that timeframe, you would what could be a candidate?

Evergreen world revamp content.

Just saiyan.

If we want to go filler content, why not do a fated raid from a previous expansion? Like timewalking but balanced a bit more tightly

It's funny that he posted literally right after you.

[Walrusking]

We are so desperate for leaks two days before the reveal we are wasting time with some dickheads fake riddles. At least Algarstorms admitted he made it up days ago.

[Bliznit2882]

Really interesting we haven't seen anything from media leak yet. Guess blizzard have kept a tight ship so far.

[kavikor]

If you recall, BfA was an August expansion, and it had 4 full raids, not Shadowland's 3 raids. BfA actually lasted about 28 months. If that was going to be the case for DF you'd be looking at a March 2025 expansion and we all know that ain't happening.

So when faced with the fact they want an expansion released next year and they know players loathe and I mean LOATHE year long droughts, I really don't see them making season 3 and fated last 6 months each.

If season 3 and fated in DF last as long as they did in Shadowlands we're looking at a July pre-patch.

Legion was also an August release
