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

[Nymrohd]

This is correct. The classes aren't like superhero origin stories, they're just a meta division of in-universe vocations. Just like Paladin is a magical warrior who's magic flavor is Holyness, the Death Knight is just an armored necromancer or dark spellcaster, and necromancers in-universe aren't necessarily undead.

And if you insist it's dependent on the Lich King's special items, remember Warcraft 2 death knights had nothing to do with him, note in SoD it appears Paladins & Shaman are getting Death Knight abilities in phase 2 per their Warcraft 3 & 2 depictions, respectively.

Pretty much which is why I mentioned necromantic rituals. There are plenty of ways to cook a DK. Sure Arthas could produce them the fastest because Frostmourne but it's not necessary. No one in Maldraxxus is the Lich King and they all churn undead constantly

We already know what is coming today, you literally posted about this 2 pages ago.

Yeah but the content of the Roadmap could be huge or could be meh. Hope that MRGM is not creating hype for nothing.

My biggest hope for today is an expanded Timewalking system that goes beyond our wildest dreams. But who knows? We are retaking Gilneas so maybe it gets the Arathi treatment alongside with the Undercity in a future patch? We are rebuilding two Alliance cities so I expect the Undercity to go next, hopefully with something more than a few quests.

There will be atleast two new hair colors announced.

[Murlocos]

I hope we get some kind of Horde content, instead of a huge focus on 'neutral' content that's mostly just Alliance content that has to be twisted into pretzels and neutered to let the Horde join in too.

Hope that they stop announcing this kind of stuff as patch features. It is beyond lame.

Nail on the head.

Hopefully they either stop with that bs or actually add some stuff when they announce NEW options lol.

I mean there is nothing wrong with them adding a few new options as soon as they are done. But having a roadmap and mentioning it as InsertRaceHere Customization to then reveal it was just two hair colors . . .

I'll just say that as a player of a Draenei paladin, Lightsmith makes me very happy.

Same, been kind of waiting since Legion and BfA was the worst kind of Horde content we could've possibly gotten.

And here is the roadmap
https://worldofwarcraft.blizzard.com...the-road-ahead

OK the alpha is MUCH earlier than I expected
And yes to Troll and Draenei heritage armor. Just pandas left?

[Murlocos]

Timerunning is fucking funny
And yeah I'm expecting an August/September release now.

[Cheezits]

What i'm the world is 10.2.6 if they won't even say?

Timerunning sounds like Mists but the whole continent.

[doledippers]

lets fucking go!!! summer release for 11.0

Dracthyr will need heritage armor too.

But yes! Draenei heritage armor!

[Darkarath]

So TWW in summer, even if in Blizzcon they said fall. That is very good, expecting an august release, september at the latest.

Wonder why 10.2.6 just has a pirate flag. Guess that we will know in a few weeks when it hits PTR.

Overall it seems pretty meh, although I guess that we will have some surprises when the patches hit PTR.

Plunder Isle patch??

They said Alpha is Spring and we had first vendor 11.0 build already. Overall sounds predictable, after they confirmed 3 patches between 10.2 and 11.0, keeping tight schedule and release in Fall, add 2+2 and late September/early October is most obvious time to release.

And looks like S4 launch is independent from patch (although there is no info what 2.6 will contain beside S4 stuff), so most likely we can expect something every 2 month - 2.5 in January, 2.6 in March (+Alpha), S4 May, 2.7 July, 11.0 September (pre-patch).

Plunder Isle patch??

Nice idea, it make sense. Would be perfect S3 catch up similar to Forbidden Reach.

That would be great. A few dailies up each day maybe. More cosmetic rewards hopefully.

Had this idea way back that you would pick one zone from the relevant expansion and make more or less everything in it max level while phased, ending with an achievement giving special rewards of some kind. Maybe some recolours of known class sets from the expansion or something.
