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

[Dracullus]

It said next in development, not 10.1.5 blue post. Could be a mix of things.

Dude, what is point of your comment. Are you seriously gonna argue that 10.1.5 is not 'next in development'?

[Sondrelk]

What else could be "next in WoW development" if not the nearest patch?

Could be confirmation that we are getting two more major patches. Sure it would be weird to assume that isn't the case, but given the previous announcement only showed up to 10.2.5 I guess it might be warranted.

Could also be more info on what we might expect in 10.2 and 10.2.5. More Heritage armors for instance.

So in "what's next" they would actually skip the closest "next"? We are seriously grasping at straws here for zero reason.

Why would you assume that it what I meant? 10.1.5 is almost certain, but there could be more. Could be a simple updated roadmap like what we got before 10.0.5.

Could be 10.1.2

[Foreign Exchange Ztudent]

Based on what the In Development article previously was a In Development article on 10.0.7 it is likely that this is just another In Development article on 10.1.5.

There's no 2024 Roadmap or more information than 10.1.5 awaiting you on Thursday.

10.1.5 is literally next in development.

I want 10.1.5's mega-dungeon to be a "timeywiney" dungeon SO BAD. Imagine what that would look like!

I am more inclined to wanting it to be Fyrakk themed or Vyranoth themed, just because I really want the timeywimey stuff not to just be a Megadungeon.

Although if they do it as a megadungeon they're always of high quality so maybe it will work out due to how all-out the team usually goes with megadungeons as concepts.

To be honest, it could be that Timey-wimey continues post-Megadungeon too but we don't really know.

But, man if Murozond and all of that is just for a Megadungeon that would deflate latter parts of this expansion by quite a ton unless Sarkareths' cinematic is Void Pivot 2.0.

Im just afraid that it will be described as a time wimey dungeon, while being mostly focused on other stuff.
Tazavesh was also described as a portal hopping dungeon, and yet we only had two bosses that fit that description.

Time travel raid would definitely be great. I am afraid it wouldn't translate as well into a full on raid though. Or at least not as well as it would for a dungeon.

Maybe if it was part of a greater time travel zone as well.

[Catastrophy349]

I just LOVE time travel shenanigans. So, it would be cool to have a mega-dungeon surrounded by it. However, IF that also means that we don't get additional story for the bronze/infinite dragons, then I would be against it. Alternatively, like you mentioned, they could incorporate bronze stuff into both the mega-dungeon and the story (a future patch), so who knows. Blizzard has been flipping the table a lot this expansion for setting new precedents and standards, so anything is possible. Regardless, the new story stuff tomorrow, AND now the "next in development" stuff this Thursday has me SOOOO Hype!

I feel it will be. Them mentioning dealing with Bronze Dragonflight, Morchie, etc. in a recent interview likely would only be mentioned if it was going to be revealed soon, not something saved for 10.2 as some mentioned. I feel 10.2 will be Green Dragonflight-related.

I know some will be disappointed, but I think Fyrakk will be dealt with at the end of the campaign and NOT be a raid/dungeon boss.

I want the time travel stuff to not be shenanigans. The original Caverns of Time stuff was played straight. Chromie stuff should not come to the fore.

Sounds like WoD...

Technically not time travel. That was an alternate timeline. There’s a difference.

[ChairmanKaga]

I thought the alternate Iron Horde linked themselves from the 35 years in the past to then current Azeroth thus time-traveling into the future from their perspective.

[Palapop]

I can't wait !! Tomorrow the Aberrus Raid releases the ending cutscene with it, and the next day we'll have some info on what's to come next.

It's just crazy how well they keep a certain rhythm of content and communication! They keep the hype going much to my delight.

Something tells me we will find out that big old N'zoth is still alive

[Revamp Man]

Bring me 5th old god reveal

[Nymrohd]

Really, before the ONE LEGION crap, the WoD way to travel to a different timeline was an OK attempt since it didn't have significant logical problems (it had crazy narrative problems like e.g. that none of it mattered after we ruined the Dark Portal on the first 15 minutes of the expac so everything that happened after did not affect our world). If it had just stayed an alternate universe it would have worked just fine.

I also think Fyrakk will be dealt with outside raid/dungeons. And maybe the Aspects should start fighting together. In the leveling story, Alex and Kalecgos both fought Raszageth solo and had a decent showing. If the two of them plus Nozdormu had fought together before she run to the Vault, they'd have beat her ass. Instead they just come out as wimps.
Plus the difference in power between Fyrakk and the black flight trio seems crazy so I don't see them overpowering him in a cutscene.

[Kurrelurre]

Bring us home, to Azeroth proper. Booty Bay should be the next hub in the upcoming pirate expansion.
