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

[Marlamin]

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.

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

As long as we never have outsourcing generate a mess like WC3:Refunded.

Said 90% of the playerbase for Mythic raiding

Less work, more people benefitting. Not remotely comparable.

In fact, the extra work for Mythic versions is fairly insignificant and most of it would be done either way.

It's been happening for a while, it's not really a new thing. A lot of stuff is also still made in-house and there's no real discernable difference between the kits.

Even a lot of the character models on paper looked decent, people got hyped over the datamined, still icons (some here still use them for avatars) or even some of the actual still models themselves.

...but then they did nothing to the lighting or foliage or animation quality and oh God it hurts.

[Alanar]

I kinda had a feeling it was going to be tackled in dragonflight. We had multiple hints.

Tbh, I am actually really glad for the Worgen out there, the city has always been beautifull and been long overdue.

only thing to say is gg, finally.

Those aren't around anymore?

not that I see - LFG custom is locked behind a level gate so lowbies cant join which made the bulk of a lot of PUG RP stuff back in legion days. Honestly such a lost thing even though the RP was total trash people made really fun mini games like murder mystery.

I think if they would’ve properly remastered the cutscenes/cinematics (think like how Blur remastered the Halo 2 cutscenes) then Reforged would’ve been received a lot better.

Does this not imply that fyrakk might just end up being the new firelord? If that's the case i can't see it being good.

Well if that's true, I guess Raszageth is chillin' in Throne of the Four Winds (or some Air Elemental equivalent plane)

[ChronoSul]

difference would be Fyrakk absorbed Smolderon where to our knowledge Rasz never absorbed the current Windlord. but either way we dont really know what that means in the long run

[Sondrelk]

Probably not. Fyrakk did specifically absord the essence of Smolderon, which might have made him even more of an Elemental compared to Razsageth. Still though, maybe we get to see her again. She was a decent enough villain, especially now that the game is severely lacking antagonistic dragons.

Should also mention. I did defeat Fyrakk, and honestly I am willing to overlook the faults of the cinematic. Going around and talking to all the residents of the Dragon Isles about what just happened is a really nice capstone to the overall story, even if it feels a bit incongrous how it all meshes together into a cohesive whole, given the Emerald Dream was hardly a core feature of the expansion to start out with.

We'd still have the client running on a Chrome browser, the hilarious Tornado animations, the terrible Arthas vs. Illidan duel, HELLSCREAM everytime they say Grom, the obliteration of the older coding and how mods worked, etc. but it would certainly help.

I thought the infernal in the otherwise amazing totally redone in-house intro had a very goofy face, though. It's smiling! :{}

[Worldshaper]

So no datamining tonight, I suppose?

I was waiting but it seems it's time to go to bed. I am sure they will want it up before the weekend though. This will likely need a lot of testing.

[Walrusking]

I may be a Tuskarr simp, but I'm also a Gilneas stan, so that was the only thing about the announcement today that I latched my flippers on and rolled with. I really hope they turn it into an actual zone that we can hang out in. I doubt we will get a "new capital city" but something substantial like an innkeeper and a bank would be nice.

It looked to me like he absorbed Smoulderon into his axe though. I don't know anything about the legendary axe questline but I suspect we'll find out that he's in there.

I prefer the idea that the new Firelord is the axe.

[Marlamin]

And there's the PTR build

[Lahis]

Damn it man, still no blanket paladins.

Wtf was the point of tyr's guard then?????

Every time paladin race combos expansions is teased nothing happens.

We get the legion nelf, then we get tyr's guard with a kultiran and still nothing.

Well, here's to 2.7 if not 11.0 and beyond.

Ffs

We just finished whole ass Emerald Dream patch and planted a brand new World Tree, but not a single new race got druids.
