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

[Jaggler]

I mean all you'd need for every city to matter is to either give each of them something exclusive (it's why IF somewhat matters for Alliance, a few things are actually in IF instead of SW) or to give all capitals the same utilities (so not just AH and bank but give every place a Great Vault, a Trading Post, Portal Room etc).

Option one is just annoying and not a great solution.

People would still aggregate at one or two places, because that's what people do. even in times where capitals were relatively equal in terms of what they offer, people just hung out in the same cities.

[Chickat]

Yeah this patch screams filler. Kinda like the 10.0.5 patch with the Trading Post. Mostly systems stuff with light story content spindled in so that is technically qualifies as a patch.

I hope datamining reveals something really cool, because this is a disappointing announcement.

I find it kinda... what's the word, rude? I don't know. That they still won't just conclude the Night Elf home story arc. Stop teasing. Just give Night Elves some rest already.

Well we just got 10.2. It makes sense for .5 to be light imo.

[Cheezits]

All I'm expecting of the Gilneas quest is an "of Gilneas" title and MAYBE the gold recolors of the Worgen-themed sword/shield that is in the Warrior trading post set.

A mount, and/or an ACTUAL CITY, would be nice. But not at all expecting it.

[Throren]

so what are the chances the entire Gilneas quest will be encrypted on PTR?

A solid 70%.

[Worldshaper]

It's a .5 patch. That's about the size what the .5 patches have been. I dunno what you expected.
Night Elves already have their new home. It will probably be "done" once the Forsaken capital is also done and ready so both capitals can be launch at the same time.

Well let me introduce you to 10.1.5.

[Cheezits]

Well let me introduce you to 10.1.5.

10.2 is meatier and more important than 10.1 so I can see why they shuffled the bigger 2024 patch to 10.2.7.

[Jaggler]

Well let me introduce you to 10.1.5.

well, yeah, the expected mega-dungeon, but by now you should know, that this is a "once in an expansion" thing

Just hair colors.

Sorry, people will still pick one place where they hang out. If every city will have same utilities, they'll just pick place that is closest to current content.

And IF 'somewhat matters for Alliance' because it was capital city during Vanilla, not Stormwind (because AH, later out of habit).

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

- Megadungeon

- New class specialisation

- Warlocks for more races

- New events like Time Rifts

10.1.5 was very meaty.

10.2.5 might be nice though, it depends a lot on the execution of all that story content.

[Revamp Man]

As little ants on Azeroth. That's still an invalid reason for us to tolerate the Titans reoriginating our asses as acceptable collateral damage

Hence the propaganda of "Azeroth is precious and must be protected" what better way to stop her possible brainwashed kids than to convince them that the prison she's in is needed

It's a nice QoL patch

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.

I think money and dev time comes first over respect.

Which is why they made heritage armor sets so unique. And on top of that the majority doesn't even use them.

So imagine how popular would be capitals on the other side of the planet, away from main content.

My point is that heritage armor proves that doesn't matter.

Pal, you are comparing an effort of creating few sets of armour to keeping several capitals up to date.

They have to do it only once though? Just add a portal to the newest place and you're done. Hell they don't even have to do that. Every time I go to the Legion Dalaran there's tons of people there.
