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

[huth]

Tbh I’m very skeptical about the binary leaks until we get some more hard evidence. Throwing stuff into a binary translator doesn’t make it any more legit.

However don’t get me wrong it is fun to speculate, I am curious about the artificer class & how it’d operate if it were true.

Pretty much the only thing writing in binary does is make it more annoying to read. It's not like it's hard to translate back.

Artificer sounds more interesting than tinker, more diverse

Agreed.
I see it just being a “jack of all trades” version of engineer/tinker using all different kinds of technology. (Gnome, Goblin, Draenei, Elf, etc)

Which from the player character side makes sense given we’ve always been “special”. (Like Evoker is a super special title for us being the “Jack of all trades” for using dragonflight magics)

And is possible because there’s that gnome/goblin couple in lore that combine their gnomish/goblin tech.

Artificer did it for me. It's either very smart if it's fake or it's legit because Artificer makes way more sense than Tinker.

I mean a lot of players have been discussing the Artificer class concept for years, it's out there with necromancer and bard, and for a lot of people it has always been interchangeable with tinker/been a flavour of tinker. Ofc the two could be completely separate, but that would be redundant. If we are indeed getting Artificers, I would be pretty excited!

I don't know... i feel like Blizzard wouldn't go for another class this soon, i can see they adding new sup specs to make the "sup role" more diverse, but i kinda doubt they would release a new class.

If it's legit, it's probably too much of a pain in the ass for Blizz's anti-leak squad to go and translate. Good way to cover tracks.

Is there a blizzcon bingo already up ?

Ultimate Blizzcon 2023 bingo

[Shadowferal]

Unironically yes

I'm sure you believe that.
I'm sure you'd say the same were the game to go ftp.

Any bets on F2P WoW starting with 11.0?

I am going to wager they are going to throw it on Game Pass starting at the release of 11.0. However, we may begin to see more MTX added to the Shop.

[Xilurm]

Why do people have an obsession with wanting to make WoW into a F2P game?

[Cheezits]

You know... didn't realize it, but if it's Artificer, that would be a very smart way to justify revamping Quel'thalas and Azuremyst as the Draenei and Belves are the two prominent engineer races after the midgets (including Dwarves).

[FlemmMinis]

Same, very curious as to what they'll say. This could make or break the leak

I find it strange that some think DF is so good...but quit after a month or so.
Ftp would make things easier...or even game pass.

Real leak, trust me. Totally legit.

[The Stormbringer]

We pull Garrosh and Arthas from the realm you go when you die in the shadowlands… Shadowlands²

It's Shadowlands all the way down!

DS gang?

I love it.. didn't see night elf new home though, but that's not been in any leak so far

[Dragon ANX]

I think this comes from the idea that most popular games forced their rivals in the market to become f2p or die --> MOBAs, Battle Royales and FPSs -- and so that became the "market rule", but what people fail to realize is that this business model never worked in MMORPGs and most MMORPGs that are either not sub-based or peseudo-sub-based(premium) either failed or became so small that people dont even remember about them.

No, it's not. It's barely any effort at all. That's the point.

Each post is followed by half a dozen replies containing the plain text version anyway, so they don't even need to do it themself.
