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

[Reive]

same price
early access for the the most expansive version
2 major patches confirmed the new norm
the content is the usual new zones, 8 new dungeons, 1 raid plus random boring shit
no new class


why are people "hyped"?

[Zazajin]

I think Humanoid Nerubian (and Arathi if they are different than humans) are planned for the end, but we'll see how it pans out.

Those two seem more interesting, if the Arathi are different enough from Stormwind humans (Like Kul Tirans) and especially the humanoid Nerubians, I just feel like they should have added at least another option with War Within, but I like everything else.

Because we're not bitter irony poisoned people engaging with something we don't enjoy probably

It pretty much makes the 90 euro version a must for people who want to start from the beginning. AND it also gives you beta access with no RNG involved.

Like I said; it's irrelevant - you can't do anything meaningful in the first week or two of a new expansion besides cap and get heroic dungeon gear, having three days extra isn't making a difference

Also; why do I care about beta? I want to play the finished game

PVP in WoW has always been a dogshit afterthought; better they put resources where it matters

On the contrary, BGs are the best PvP experience out of any of the three big MMOs right now. FFXIV's combat is sluggish, nonresponsive, and clunky. GW2 has fun combat and a responsive engine, but the SPvP maps are too small, and WvW has been abandoned since 2016. WoW's BGs are big enough that there is actual strategy in deciding where to send people, intercepting people before they can reach points, and there is downtime to rest.

//new specs - lets call it a draw

[Yarathir]

So patches were actually confirmed for 11.0 and beyond, then?

Metzen's a great hype man and unlike Shadowlands this actually feels like a finale story arc about things players have interacted with and cared about since 1.0.

Holly Longdale gave a hint that it is not confirmed 2 Major/4 Minor is the model. Lets wait until the 2024 Roadmap is released before we know the Game Model going forward.

I am ready to be upset once we have the 2024 Roadmap in front of us telling us that things have changed for the worse. But, until then I am waiting patiently.

How insane do you have to be to expect a class two expansions in a row and wonder why people are hyped after they've just announced three expansions

[Stonecloak]

If it really is a massive advantage for someone (it's not at all) they have a year to scrape up an extra £35 to attain it

Economically it can be quite huge, which again may lead to quicker advancement. Massive advantage? No, but it is an advantage.

[Cheezits]

Unless Xal is the final boss of 12.0, yeah. It's possible that we are just getting one patch expansions but I'm not sure.

It pretty much makes the 90 euro version a must for people who want to start from the beginning. AND it also gives you beta access with no RNG involved.

I wonder why they even bother with the Heroic version. There's basically no point in getting that since Epic gives you all the extras on top and includes gametime which alone makes up about 2/3 of the extra price.

[ercarp]

Technically we also had new specs. Also funny. NO 10.3 stuff, but 13.0 got revealed I bet fucking nobody expected that.

Wish I had typo'd that, haha.

[The Stormbringer]

That was good. It still feels lighter on features than I'd like, but if all of this is building up towards a brand new World of Warcraft, I'll be really happy. Season of Discovery also might get me resubscribed.

[Stonecloak]

Metzen's a great hype man and unlike Shadowlands this actually feels like a finale story arc about things players have interacted with and cared about since 1.0.

Yea, it does have a full circle type feel.

[Yarathir]

Unless Xal is the final boss of 12.0, yeah. It's possible that we are just getting one patch expansions but I'm not sure.

For them to go ahead and announce 3 expansion at once kind of makes me feel like they're going to have fewer patches and jumping from one expansion to the next more often.

[Makabreska]

I'm a bit disappointed on not new class too, but maybe the hero talents fill that void as a sort of "class skin lite".

Was highly improbable they would make a new class. Every class/spec rework (some multiple) + Evokers kept them occupied.
