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

[NikolaiShade]

Oh the expansion could turn out to be great. Marketing is different to the product. Hype for MoP was very low. Hype for WoD was insane.

WoD was indeed one of WoW best expans... oh god I throw up a little in my mouth just by writing it sarcastically...

[Nymrohd]

I either want the images to be real, but there is WAY more to them (e.g., these images are literally bottom of the barrel in comparison to the REAL MEAT of the zones). OR, for the images to be fake, and we get something else that is super juicy!

See even if there is tons more for them I still have a problem with introducing a new area and making it so themepark that THOSE four environments coexist. Especially that final image.

Where are the real leaks ...

They appear in the dreams of the prophets.
They whisper in the desert wind.
They cast no shadow; they bear no weight; they foster no mercy.

But you cannot deny the reveal was very well received.

I think expecting something other than 4 zones 8 dungeons after they cut two expansions in a row short is not unreasonable.

Agreed, I'm hoping for another class or a race or 2, as well as an engaging system that ties into PVE power, or an evergreen system like Housing.

A combination of one of those sytems and either that class or race will make it a pretty hype reveal imo.

[Fahrad Wagner]

This is the mature and correct play to avoid whiplash that unfairly taints our enjoyment of the next expansi--CHOO CHOO REVAMP TRAIN

I was about to roast you before reaching the end of that message haha!
Of course, preparing yourself to be disappointed and limiting hopium prevents major disappointments... but where's the fun and join in that?
I'd rather be super hyped like I am now, even if it means being disappointed!

For sure. We literally already got all 4 of those environments together in both WoD and BFA, alone.

WoD's only issue was post launch content if WoD had the content pace of legion it would be considered great.

Yeah they have become incredibly formulaic.

[Sondrelk]

I think it is, precisely because they seem to be cutting off DF early. Even if it's just a commitment to releasing 11.0 in late summer, that would still be something.
WoW is the big cashcow, and the reception to DF fixing a bunch of stuff gives them a bunch of momentum that it would be insane to give up on by implictly stating all expansions going forward will be "failed" ones.

The reveal was well recieved by the whole "Kung Fu Pandaren" crowd sure

[CasualFilth]

Apparently not.

There doesn't seem to be an official global release date.
Pretty much all UK online book stores have it either not listed at all, listed as unavailable or as not yet released.
Amazon is not shipping it outside the US.

So, it's either Nov. 7th, as that is when the kindle version comes out, or some other time.

that's a bummer as I was looking forward to something before Blizzcon

Can I be brutally honest with you? I had a bad feeling about WoD from the reveal

[Raetary]

It's such a random collection of stuff though. Even if I feel compelled to believe in it simply for the removal of transmog restrictions.

Also it was EK Revamp specifically, wasnt it?

I don't think it's particularly random.

We've been speculating a Khaz + Revamp for a while.
Old God involvement is usually a given, especially with the setup they've been doing this expansion.
And they tied Artificers to the Earthen.
Which is not exactly far-fetched for a titanforged race.

Only Path of the Titans and the transmog restrictions stick out.
And the former only really does that because of the developmental history of that name.


As for EK, idk, maybe i missed some riddles, but i'm pretty sure they mentioned no loading screens and draenei/Belf starting zones in the last few.

Wod was super well received until the launch day when almost everybody was stuck in their garrison trying to look through a telescope. It's probably the most hyped expansion after legion.

[kavikor]

For sure. We literally already got all 4 of those environments together in both WoD and BFA, alone.

One thing that could be interesting with 4 distinct environments is if the continent is some kind of Titan testing facility where they house their experiments and designs in individual biomes to test them in different conditions.

[Stonecloak]

Avaloren in 10.3 is still the hill I have chosen to die on.

Not that many hills to die on besides that.

[KyleEverett]

I enjoyed and played WoD throughout. I loved my garrison, doing all the various building achieves. The legendary ring was fun.

[Kiria]

Huh, I actually liked WoD, each to their own I guess

[ercarp]

Revamp + Khaz Algar
Earthen playable race
Artificer class
N'zoth and Xal relevancy
Removal of transmog restrictions
Path of the Titans.

Thanks! /10thanks

[Holdodlig]

I still think this was best shot we got so far
same as red-eyed bolvar and dragon before df

This somehow reminds me of when HotS (heart of the swarm) ending was leaked and nobody trusted it as it was an early asset (and 2 years before the expansion came out I think ?)
