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

[MCMLXXXII]

Unexpected reference

I sometimes do that.

[Ersula]

If the base sub is on game pass, do we still need to buy expansions?

I guarantee they will be keeping the standard subscription. The 15 dollar version will include those 500 free traders tenders & the 8 dollar gamepass version won't. Plus the one thing we know for sure besides the Heroic edition mount is the Algaran Stormrider is that there are 3 tiers of paid expansion & each comes with tenders.

So anyone talk about the fact the sword of sargeras is a thing this blizzcon?
Can't say much since blizz is dropping many balls this weekend but I I don't think they'd leave it alone after that

Its a major monument in the game world. Not surprising.

The schedule was posted here earlier. I personally think that's significant, but Idk what the general consensus is about it.

Could just be a fun thing, could relate to the expansion

[Minish]

Honestly, they're probably just going back to the expansion being on the WoW website. There hasn't been a new blizz subdomain registered in over a month iirc, and I don't see them registering one in less than 20 hours till the reveal (unless they do, future-proofing this). The DF subdomain leak was probably a once and never again thing

[Woggmer]

Like, to be clear, this whole "omg guys look at this new subdomain" thing has happened 3 times now, all with WoW related terms.

First it was gryphon (the codename for Warcraft Rumble), then it was tempest (internal domain the team uses for build data and as well as the name for other stuff) and now Rift of Aln, which frankly we don't know what it is for, just that it points to HQ and has existed since at least 2021 -and- is under the battle.net domain which means it is highly unlikely to be for a product but is likely an (internal) service instead.



Stop.

I'm not suggesting that it is what we're getting, we already know whats coming... but I am just saying that Hearthstone hasn't done the Emerald Dream/Nightmare stuff yet...

Either way, whatever it is has no barring here and not worth investigating.

[matijwow]

What if Artificer is a red herring but not far off.

What if the real class is Artisan Chef, and we get a chef class?

The community feast, the final boss is a fire boss (like the basic cooking fire), and it obviously fits with adding support specs?

World of Warcraft: Seasoning of Azeroth

[Chickat]

Cant believe we still don't have a credible leak. Blizzard may have done it.

[Ateo]

I do not think any of the major leaks have confirmed Xbox Game Pass, but I also would not be surprised if WoW was coming to consoles. I had mentioned a few days ago that several streamers said the announcement would be monumental and probably a little divisive...that would be in that category of both.

Yeah this is wild AF, I never thought I'd see the day.

Also there's this awesome setup of a cross over promo with lovesac bean bags themed for D4.

Also just passed the D4 hall and overwatch halls, both ending their overwatch 2 and D4 standard cinematics with "on xbox game pass"

Unironically a Chef class would be so fucking fun

sorry if this was already talked about, I haven't been looking at the thread much today

Like the average consumer knows what Draenor is.

Its like going "No no, they can't name an Elder Scrolls expansion Elsweyr, the average consumer won't know what that is!"

As someone who knows not much about the lore behind Elder Scrolls' setting, y'know what I'm gonna guess?

I'm gonna guess its a damn location.

Seriously, of the many arguments people have about the title of an expansion, that's one of the sillier ones.

As someone who had no idea what "Wrath of the Lich King" or "The Burning Crusade" meant as I watched them installing on my computer for the first time, I always find it odd when I see people make an argument that WoW was as big or popular as it was back in the early days because of people's attachment to Warcraft 3, and that anything that can't be traced to a pre-WoW basis won't interest people very much. I guarantee the majority of people who have made a WoW account never knew jackshit about Warcraft 3, existence or story. Everyone saw the celebrity adds with Ozzy and Mr T and shit on their tvs during the height of popularity, and I bet most people who tried out WoW over the course of its lifespan did so because WoW itself was so popular and well known, not because of nostalgia for Warcraft RTS games.

If they do want to do the separate site thing, in today's day and age they can get away with setting up the subdomain, the certificate and the site itself right in the minutes before the announcement trailer is shown, if they've rehearsed/planned it well that'll go just fine.

They also *just* started selling a new year-long subscription package. Announcing that it’s coming to game pass right after people bought that would be sketchy at best.

I don't see how it's any more of a clue than anything else that's part of the experiences area. Nobody is mentioning Champion's Rest or Corridor of Time and those are both on the schedule too.
