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

[Yarathir]

Looks just like Revendreth.

But yeah Revendreth was already among the best zones they've made.

I saw some pictures of the inside as well. Reminded me of it too.

Ny'alotha was completely squandered, yes. Disappointing. They could've at least made part of it an outdoor zone.

Metzen sort of implied that all of that Ny'alotha stuff is likely coming back at some point (when they showed the image behind him.)

Press Sheet confirms "Mountain Thane" is a hero custom for Warriors.

Also:

With Warbands, players can enjoy account-wide progression with all characters in their Battle.net® account, regardless of faction, that includes shared War Within™ renown, a warband bank, achievements, and more! Additionally, a new change to transmog collection will let players learn the appearance of any gear type, even if they cannot equip it!

I am crossing every finger I have that this means, or will at least naturally lead into, the removal of transmog limitations.

It DOES become a login screen, we have that in the press kit pictures

fianlllyy!!!!! so cool

[Stonecloak]

We're in the endgame now.

Feels like it right. Metzen had that vibe about him.

They didn't show that black empire shot behind Metzen for giggles. A second black empire rising might be coming in Midnight

[Arcinatoss]

man im sold.

So that was pretty awesome. Class cosmetic customization, varied underground zones, Chris Hemsworth Anduin, the sword, Thrall, account wide consolidation feature.

Gotta wonder though, Thrall and Anduin were talking as if they weren't aware there was a titan sleeping inside of the world. Is that not known among even the world leaders? I would hazard a guess that the average farmer or shop keep in stormwind doesnt know the deep going-ons of the world and world ending threats, but faction leaders?

Also, Season of Discover is basically Classic+ yeah?

Yeah, blind classic+, november 30

Holy shit, so that might mean dracthyr classes then lol. With that one in the pic, i mean

[Chickat]

Is the panel starting? Its rolling old stuff on twitch?

[PotHockets]

So 5 new talents with 19 options? Seems like this is how they are gonna slow roll not having to revamp the talent tree again. No new talents for max level.

I think it's more so a way to give class skins and shit. So if you wanna be a Dark Ranger you can be but if you wanna be a Tinker you can do that too. They can both build off of Hunter easily enough and it lets them add more player fantasy and customization options without having to ass pull an entire spec out of it.

Yeah. Personally, I'm out of WoW, so it doesn't really matter, but I hope they give it its due for those who still care.

[Nymrohd]

So 78 class skins? I do hope they decently alter how the class looks instead of just being a couple of extra talent points.

[The Stormbringer]

Still rolling previews/ads on YouTube as well...

[matijwow]

It did leak. It's just people didn't pay attention to the leak, like last time.

The real leak only happened a few hours ago. Everything else was fake, and a few only got a couple details right by coincidence.

[Keyalios]

Is it the endgame? Or the end of the first book series?

I would argue Legion was the start of endgame. We killed Sargeras, he was the big bad forever, alongside the old gods. Once he was dead it was going to be difficult.

It is amusing that Jailer is basically being ignored lol.

[Draedarr]

Doesn't fit, it's radially symmetrical, the blade isn't. Besides, that seems to be the local light source.

Yeah, seeing that again shows that it's not the same one

[Yarathir]

We have criterion dungeons at home.

[Valysar]

The new dynamic flight ability for the Algarian stormrider is kinda bugguy, when you press the big spell sometimes you can"t turn :P

[Slowpoke is a Gamer]

We're in the endgame now.

It had to come eventually. The official transition from "we swear it's still serious story content" to "listen it's just maintenance now and we know it."

And that line is pretty firmly now after The Last Titan.
