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

[blaatschaap]

Everything looks amazing. Hope they make delve into something you can just play endlessly if you want. There are not a lot of details on it yet

[Draedarr]

Has the person who made the Avaloren fakes come forward yet?

Because they got me good.

I don't think the person might be on the forums, but we could try to search on DeviantArt/Artstation and it'll be there eventually

[Jodmos]

Tinkers are confirmed as a hunter hero class.

Please God no.

[Foolicious]

The website says every class specialization gets two hero trees.

It's what the site says. Like, literally says each class specialization has access to two choices.

Oh thank god I was a bit worried.
Didn't see that. News move way too fast right now.

[Stonecloak]

This is it.
This single handedly makes me want to lvl alts again.

Did they actually say that? I must have missed it.

[Keyalios]

i mean, who cares. we already got all the features earlier

We got just a bit though. Like apparently the warbands are cross faction so you can share rep across faction lines.

Appartently mogs are now gainable regardless of class?

[Kiivar86]

I just have no idea why the mount is called that if we arent going to Khaz Algar?

We are though.

It says on the War Within page, for the Isle of Dorn, "Discover the land of Khaz Algar"

[Makabreska]

Cool AF. So we sword pierces the crust and we have bright underground zones.

[TheramoreIsTheBomb]

Sylvanas is back.

[Jaggler]

Eh, it's alright, but I do wonder if we are just done with patches now.

considering the cadence of Dragonflight I highly doubt that.

Why would they restructure their workflow to a patch every few weeks, just to completely overthrow it with the next expansion

[Chickat]

Where are yall getting media from? Press kit page is dying on me

Is it dying due to strain? Maybe too many people trying to view it? Prob a good sign for Blizzard.

[Dracullus]

So the expansion is still 50 bucks so I guess they’re not aiming for annual releases.

I think all expacs will have SL model, but last 19-20 months and of course with regular patches like DF. SL had drought post 9.0 and post 9.1, but Season 3 lasted 5.5 month and fated season 12 weeks, I expect same post 10.2.

Annual expansion would cost us more of course, but same with Blizzard, they would have to make fresh continent every 12 months. Imo they announced saga because main problem with DF is that if feels like side story, not like important events for Warcraft.

[Jastall]

Man, OK, this is definitely a lot more than "here's an island with 4-5 zones". Lots to take in.

First I do think telling us about 3 expansion in advance kinda acts as spoilers. We know all that is coming for the next 5-ish years now. Not that bad a thing to be honest but still surprising, I thought they'd kept the 3rd one a secret for a second.

Yearly expansions, or maybe 1.5 years long expansions, could be great or could be ways for them to get more box price money, depending on how content cadence goes. I'm a bit worried but not overly so. Dragonflight had a steady stream of things to do after all.

War Within looks fine tho. I like the zone with the big crystal, it kinda reminds me of the Erdtree in Elden Ring. And Nerubians fighting Arathi humans is so random that I kinda dig it. Story looks intriguing even if I figure the end state will be Alleria going cray-cray and going for the Sunwell. I'm curious how they will connect the zones together, will we be able to access them from each other or is it a Cataclysm/Shadowlands situation with portals every which way? I hope not the latter.

Feature set a bit sparse but what's there is promising. Delves sound like Torghast, not gonna lie, but hopefully they learned from their errors. Warbands as a concept is long overdue but welcome nevertheless. Epic talents are what I'm excited for, if they implement this right it's a pet hope of mine come true. Earthern allied race is eeeh, I like dwarves and all but still not my favorite kind of dwarf.

[Cheezits]

Sylvanas is back.

That's Alleria.

[PotHockets]

Cool AF. So we sword pierces the crust and we have bright underground zones.

I think it's the world soul hanging in the background not sunlight from the sword.

[milkmustache]

Sylvanas is back.

Source??? /10char

[ZyntosAran]

btw, the warband says "Shared War Within Renown"
No rep overall?

[Chickat]

I seriously doubt these 3 will be "full scale" xpacs as before. Seems to me more like all 3 will be "micro" xpacs (each perhaps a year long or so?).

Because both the first and the second seem to have the Void as the main villain. First one has Xal as the "Harbinger of the Void", who will then lead into the second, where the Void goes full on-invasion, and then the third, where the titans themselves finally decide its time to clean house. At which point Iridikron will probably appear again as well.

Could be we only get the intro tier and the final tier with 1 medium sized patch in the middle. Xpacs last 12-16 months?

[Santandame]

Unsure of what to think yet.

Let us hope that the Deep Dive solves the MANY doubts that I have right now.

This is what I’m clinging to because this is the first expansion reveal that I’ve been extremely underwhelmed by. Usually I have some level of hype even for the most tame of premises like DF but so far what I’ve seen presented so far to me is just extremely lame.

I’m hoping the deep dive can pull me back.
