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

[Cheezits]

Added 5 new fur colors for Worgen.
All restrictions for unlocking Allied Races have been removed, with the exception of a level requirement.
All Allied Races can now be unlocked once you have a level 40 character on your account (was level 50).
Newly created Allied Race characters will now be directed to Chromie, not the warboard.
Characters now learn the appropriate mount riding skill upon reaching the appropriate level without needing to visit a mount trainer:
Level 10 - Apprentice Riding
Level 20 - Journeyman Riding
Level 30 - Expert Riding
Level 40 - Master Riding
Developers’ note: Riding trainers will still exist in the world, but you will be unable to purchase riding skills from them.
Characters that reach level 30 will receive the quest “Time to Fly” and be awarded with a flying mount, Harbor Gryphon for Alliance characters and Scarlet Pterrordax for Horde characters.

And some extra Chromie improvements:

Chromie will now teach you what Chromie Time is, suggest timelines to choose, and share the opening cinematics.
The maximum level in Chromie Time is now 61 (was level 60).
Chromie Time expansion restrictions have been removed.
“The Dragon Isles Await!” now provides an item that lets you teleport to your capital city to begin your journey to the Dragon Isles immediately.
Dragonflight, Shadowlands, and Battle for Azeroth dungeon quests are now also available inside their respective dungeons.
Both Exile’s Reach and Battle for Azeroth now have campaigns to make it easier to track progress and pick up where you left off.
The quest line into Mechagon now starts at level 30 (was level 50).
Alliance players can now enter Nazjatar after completing “A Nation Divided” (was “Unlocking the World”).
Available starter zone quest lines and Battle for Azeroth side quests now display on the zone map.
Introduction to the capital cities after leaving Exile’s Reach has been improved.

Loads of levelling stuff I see. Nice to get another Gryphon though, hopefully it's an unarmored variant.

Honestly, the restrictions on Allied Races are just starting to get weird now. Don't really see why they couldnt just be unlocked at the beginning at this point. Just make them have to go into Exile's reach if it's the first character made.

Seems like Blizzard is trying to supplant the Wyvern as the Horde's national flying mount.

I have to wonder whether the developers were trying to brainstorm ways to give Horde players a wyvern despite the lack of them in Zandalar.

Good changes, good changes, about time that Allied Races were easier to access.

As Sondrelk mentioned, it's probably because BFA is when people would get their first flying mount.

Nah, the main leveling path is BfA so it had to fit Zandalar. Gryphon fits Kul Tiras.

*waiting for an apology from all the people who said a low-parsing support-based DPS spec would be "impossible" for WoW*

Same, this is just too good-

Waow now this is interesting indeed!

Can't wait to see the build hit the PTR!

[Nymrohd]

Edit: PTR is definitely up

[Ersula]

"Increase your nearest 4 allies with increased maximum HP" is a little janky. I hope instead its like BC Totems & changed to the "4 people in your group"

[Cheezits]

Interesting. The "copy pasted" asset of the WoD Garrison is actually a new version.

"Garrison Hearthstone and Dalaran Hearthstone are now toys."

This is huge, actually.

[Nymrohd]

Dawn of the Infinite bosses
Infinite Drakonid
Time elemental
Blight of Galakrond
Iridikron
Murozond seems to happen after Iridikron, Infinite Tyr
Morchie
Time Lost Battlefield (Alliance fights Grom)
Deios

Damn there will be crazy lore happening in that dungeon.

Wheeee free bag space!

PTR is up, and lots of awesome recolours seem to be available via a time rift vendor - including a green storm drake, a blue garrosh mythic scorpion, a yellow core hound or a purple icc frostwyrm!!

[Sondrelk]

Woot Woot. Got to celebrate the real improvements here. Pretty sure every single one of my characters have those two items in their bags constantly.

Aw I was hoping for Raz, Devs seemed to imply she'd be back somehow.

Nice to see the final boss for a last smackdown.

[Lady Atia]

Also:

[Nymrohd]

we seem to fight Deios in the end (the drake that stole the disks) together with the Aspects back when they were protodragons
