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

[Kiivar86]

Felstalkers getting new skins, so yeah safe to say customization for demons coming for all of them, or at least in the pipeline.

Damn, I'm loving the warlock pets. Considering this is coming with Warlock being opened to every race, I wonder if every other class with cosmetic stuff is going to get the similar investment when they open to other races. Druid forms, paladin mounts, death knight pets/mounts, demonhunter forms ... what a dream!
And speaking of dream, since 10.2 seems likely to explore the emerald dream, I'm sure they're making dream themed 3d models for creatures and stuff. Could be a great time to open druid up with new forms. I still remember them talking about how moonkin was left in the dust in legion and that they would do something for them eventually. Would love to see it.

I'd be careful what you wish for.

An easy way to unlock druid and DH for everyone is just give everyone generic forms rather than make like 140+ unique ones...

The infinites have their own Oathstone, and its relevant in the (Infini-)Tyr fight.

They say it would be odd for those to just be for a dungeon. I disagree.

Yeah, I see Ebyssian getting the seat this patch, there's no other place for Aug evokers to get an appropriate icon.

None of the Aspects have yet restored their power, and Nozdormu still needs to be replaced by Chromie before they can have their empowerment moment.

Druid forms,

Just having the bare minimum of models needed means druids are the least likely class to ever get new races, adding even more forms to the workload does not seem plausible.

Next expansion leaks incoming……

[Dracullus]

Serious leak season will probably start after 10.2 reveal.

[Kiivar86]

Never too early for fake leaks.

I do hope this season is a bit more interesting. Dragonflight's was pretty meh up until like, what was it, a week or two before when we had the actual stuff?

Yeah I think we can expect 10.2 on October 11 the latest? So that we have at least seen the raid end AND RWF is over.

Dragonflight leak season was pretty dismissal outside of the Empire of Dragons fake.

Hopefully there's a little more quality put into the leaks this season.

I hope so. I liked the leaks leading up to the Shadowlands, though many were just thrown out there willy nilly.

...come to think of it we never did see anything with that cinematic quality necropolis over Borean Tundra thing did we? I did figure that was fake but it was a pretty interesting one, at least.

We got AI to deal with now.
Everyone and their grandma can just give ChatGPT or Dall-E a prompt and have a leak ready in 10 seconds.

I expect a massive leak season with a bunch of randomly generated shit thrown left and right.

[Foreign Exchange Ztudent]

Wonder when they reveal the 2024 Roadmap, do you think they reveal it around the same time as 10.2 Reveal and leave Blizzcon for the Expansion Reveal or do you think we'll see the 2024 Roadmap at Blizzcon together with the new expansion reveal?

The AI art will really confuse things indeed. It used to be that the best indication that a leak had legs was art or a logo. Well now any leaker who gives a shit can have art and a logo.

Interesting..

Yeah, I expect 10.2 very early October. Blizzard seems to like magic 22 week raid tier from Legion, recently Sepulcher lasted 22 weeks and Vault 21 weeks.

Bigger question is existence of 10.3, but that will be answered on 10.2 reveal as usual. I think it depends from 11.0 release date, we know Blizz can be really quick and efficient with Alpha/Beta now, so it could release even on Summer - in that case 10.3 isn't really needed, bonus S4 and small patches would cover gap. But if 10.3 exist and Blizzard doesn't want to waste time for it on Blizzcon, they could always reveal it after race is done as appetizer like back in BfA.

Wonder when they reveal the 2024 Roadmap, do you think they reveal it around the same time as 10.2 Reveal and leave Blizzcon for the Expansion Reveal or do you think we'll see the 2024 Roadmap at Blizzcon together with the new expansion reveal?

After last thing from 2023 is completed, they always update roadmap with each patch. So yeah, could be Blizzcon, I think 10.2 is last patch for this year.

No leaks. Only announcements.

Idk, a little before the announcement we saw a still from the cinematic and had Dracthyr Evoker leaked.
I think I remember even seeing screenshots of a Dracthyr that wasn’t on the press release that everyone (myself included) thought it was fake and was from a scalie server lol. I think the model was unfinished because of the wing clipping, which is why we thought it was fake.

But I guarantee that we’ll see a real leak, but it’ll get lost in the sea of AI generated fakes. (Or VERY well made fakes like the infamous 8.3 “undead siege of Stormwind” leak….
