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

[Xilurm]

Because it is still a convenient hub with all services to move between entire game when you HS is on CD. Also, they barely made DF on time, and now they kick development into overdrive. Prolly no time for capitals

TBF they're already spending resources on reclaiming Gilneas, and that's a place that is already filled with buildings to the brim. Just repurpose a few and you're done.

Troll beards?!

Nope, but get ready for 5 fucking new hair colors!!!!

Well let me introduce you to 10.1.5.

Azerothian Archives seems pretty substantial. Considering it has a rewards tract it sounds like it's a small preview of Dungeon Delves.

Plus, seems like complaining works because the eyeball style of demon is back after being removed for "silhouette" reasons.

I don't really see anything happening with Gilneas other than a some NPCs finally being sprinkled around and maybe a FP.

Still its got an awesome atmosphere and music so its still a win in my book.

[Ersula]

High. Similar thing with Forsaken and Undercity in 9.2.5 was encrypted.

True, but they wouldn't be advertising it as a patch feature if they were just going to encrypt it until live. The Lordaeron reclaimation was a total surprise.

New capital city, with services maybe, the portal will be in the new Stormwind portal room added in 10.2 I guess

Hey bois remember the scarlet pamphlets??
Genn getting his city back could be the first step to gaining his allegiance

This is weird. How on earth am I alone in the Emerald Dream on a Full realm???

[huth]

It's to attract a lot of people to one place to make the game look busier and more alive.

I think over time they will stop caring so much and just add transmog/portals to old cities.

No, it's because players will flock to one capital regardless of what Blizzard does. Even back in Vanilla everybody was in the same place. Creating more than one is simply a waste of resources.

Everyone server hopped to farm seeds without you.

[huth]

You know, having any sort of respect for the universe you built should warrant multiple capital cities. Who cares if the majority will flock to just one? There's going to be people that use the others, and that should be enough.

Anybody who loses out because a bunch of devs have to work on a pointless zone?

Said 90% of the playerbase for Mythic raiding

IS GILNEAS RP MAKING A COME BACK???

Only real ones remember the LFG Gilneas RP groups - I actually miss it.

Those aren't around anymore?

I wonder, now that there's 2 expansion teams working on one expansion each at the same time, are we going to be seeing different styles between expansions? The way team 1 works might not be the same way team 2 works.

You think creating Mythic hampers overall PvE content cadence? Because I think that suddenly updating the capitals would be pretty detrimental to the overall development time. Again, they barely did DF on time and are now pushing faster expansions (and working on two simultaneously).

Guidelines/assets should all be the same. These peeps should all be working together on previous expansions.

Team A and B has been a conspiracy for years, it's funny to see it come true.

The conspiracy was that team B was inferior and was used to create "filler" expansions. Not about two teams working simultaneously,creating similar quality stuff.

They have style guides and such as they also do a lot of outsourcing for art assets, so that should be fine.
