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

[Nymrohd]

Not to mention that the Fated gimmick for M+ is now a standard feature, which just leaves Fated raids, and if we're comparing to how it went last time I think there was far more appetite to revisit Castle Nathria than there will be for Vault or Aberrus. Albeit it will be funny to see hunters and evokers undergo rare drop agony again so it may be worth it.

Ion mentioned they wanted to address world content this time around since it didn't get anything for Fated previously, but I have no idea how they'd change that meaningfully beyond just increasing the ilvl rewards and calling it a day. Clearly it's time to add affixes to the tuskarr feast.

Also the dinar system gave people a good reason to join those raids. And Ion is planning to nerf it. People are dreaming they will be able to buy Very rare gear with dinars in Fated. Something tells me it ain't happening.

taking this into account and what Chriz Menzen said - we can assume that 11.0 will be released after the NEXT BLizzcon '24

If they are doing a fated season, there is no reason for S3 to last more than 6 months. It will be 26 weeks.

I really hope they don't cut TWW short just to get to Midnight faster. Give me my Nerubians!

[vintage79]

There is no way lmao.

S3 is probably gonna end May/June, and S4 is gonna be two months from there.

and add prepatch we are nearly blizzcon kekw


10.2 will last for atleast 6 months
Fated season in SL - lasted: sience August 2 to October 25th +-+-+= 5 months
prepatch: atleast: 1 month

tl;dr: A YEAR

This Blizzcon was so blah I have to assume they'll only be doing it every other year. They literally hyped it up & gave us nothing surprising. Every announcement was something we already expected. They didn't even show us anything from Midnight or the Last Titan: Just logos.

well it looks like we watched 2 different blizzcons

It's just that Avaloren had heretics. Will Odyn even be relevant in 13.0? I feel like the Unbound are a pretty good candidate for "heretics' in Odyn's view. They abandoned their charge to guard the titan Causeway thingie that leads into Azeroth's heart from Khaz Algar.

Somebody also mentioned a facility, I believe? Like at the end of the road. Seems like a good candidate for Uldaz.

Keeper Innaria, perhaps watched over Uldaz, in charge of the worldsoul and making sure everything progressed according to plan down there?

That said, the Oathsworn do control Khaz Algar still, and they seem loyal to the Titans. So maybe not.

oh my fakup right,

even so -2 months its still nearly a year in advance so

Final tier season of SL was cut waaay to short by Fated. They may want to avoid that, depending on how long it will take peeps to clear Amirdrassil.

Nerubians will be S1 feature and enemies, so it should does not matter.

Final tier of SL also had a very hard and fairly large raid.

Yes, that's why I said it should depend on how long Amidrassil gonna be.

So from what I get here, is that Avaloren is somewhere across the sea, and that Hallowfall descended from those people?

Either that or the developers misspoke and meant the human settlers that went to colonize Kul Tiras.

No, the humans from Hallow fall are a group of Light fanatics from the Arathi kingdom that followed a prophet to where the Naaru crystal fell (Hallowfall) thousand of years ago before the kingdom broke into the 7 human kingdoms,

What makes them fanatics?

[pacotaco]

I wonder if Elun'Ahir, Erinithria and Avaloren ties into this stuff somehow. It all kind of fits the theme, but also doesn't.

Nope, it seems foreshadowing for a story after the World Soul saga.

[Makorus]

For what it's worth, S1 DF was 4 1/2 months.

S2 DF is just really long. I think TWW is gonna release September.

[Nymrohd]

But it is problematic in that we reasonably expect Odyn to be dead by then.

[Ersula]

Is this your first Blizzcon? Let's review:

Warcraft: A Dwarf reskin. A year long content drought. Cataclysm talent trees returning. Three Logos.

Hearthstone: An expansion they already previewed a week ago.

Overwatch: A new champion that first appeared in the game a year ago. New map that is just an old map.

Diablo: A static image of a building from Diablo 2.

Nah, doubt that.

I don't think they are gonna have any Titan-focused content for a while after The Last Titan, so Avaloren wouldn't really make much sense.

I hope to dear god you are right.

This Blizzcon was really bad with the "We will show you more next year ".

Like, bitch, it's Blizzcon. The D4 Expansion is gonna come out before next Blizzcon. Are you really just gonna have a shitty blogpost?
