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

[Dracullus]

Wowhead already "wrote" 9 articles, I think we will end up with something close to 15 xD.

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

Timerunning sounds like Mists but the whole continent.

They said they wanted to do Timewalking that involves the world content. I am hoping it also brings a raid (ToT?) and maybe brings the cloak questline back. Honestly they could make a solo challenge out of the final step with Wrathion

I am guessing it works for them but it is frustrating because it actually just buries the news.
The fact that google's algorithm dictates how people write sites on the internet instead of what actually would make a good and functional website is maddening

There are datamined changes to Siege of Orgrimmar, but I think they are aware of how popular ToT is, so we may be getting several Timewalking raids + some form of outdoor timewalking in the "Timerunning" bundle.

From the books peeps been finding around Dragon Isles. 10.2.6 indicator? Miniraid perhaps?

If it's the Nightsquall, there will be an opportunity for twitter drama as the dev that wrote that lore book got fired. I already saw them making a small comment about the patch.

[Eurhetemec]

One problem though. There is no Lich King anymore.

I know Shadowlands was traumatizing and we all want to forget it, but destruction of the Lich King and Helm of Domination happened literally on The opening cinematic.

Fair point but as others have said, there's more than one way to skin a ca... make a DK. All they need to add for lore-consistency is a one-room "And this is how I became a DK" deal like with Allied Races.

[Cheezits]

Considering they are hiding everything in 10.2.6, what non-Pirate stuff do you think we will be getting? It seems to be the big patch of the three.

Maybe Tuskarr?

[Worldshaper]

It's definitely got something to do with Nightsquall.

My guess is the pirates found whatever secrets they were looking for on the Dragon Isles, and now they are going to try and form that pirate armada thingie.

It'll be cool if it's a lighthearted adventure that finally introduces some missing islands before it's too late, like Plunder Isle, Tel'Abim etc. Sail the seas, plunder treasure for the fleet (perhaps utilising legacy content or Island Expedition tech cleverly) while unlocking cool rewards.

Then watch them go as they sail west, leaving us with the ultimate tease about Avaloren.

Would be neat but I also would say I wouldn't expect too much. It isn't a big content patch, after all.

True. But they are being weird about it on Twitter. Eye emojis and stuff. Could be that they create a lot of repayable content out of legacy stuff. If Plunder Isle is just a simple hub like Forbidden Reach, it's fine.

[doledippers]

also just want to point out that it looks like season 4 isnt part of 10.2.6 or 10.2.7, so we really are getting 4 sizeable content patches between now and prepatch, which is insane.

[Valysar]

So, no words about paladins or shams or druids for all races...

Possibly 10.2.6, as that would be a big deal.

Yeah I'm figuring they may just repurpose stuff. Like you said, using the Island Expeditions would be especially easy to re-use.

I always did hate how little time I had to actually explore those things, just having to rush and do shit. So having a chance to go there and not be so rushed would be welcome.

Tyr : "We need to train paladins to fight the pirates mate !"

[Alanar]

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 . . .

That has happened now twice tbh, it's beyond anyones guess why this was mentioned as something to look forward to. Even for people who are into stuff like this ( me) it's not even worth mentioning. New customization at least should be some kind of pack, including 1 new hairstyle/skin and a bracelet or what ever. Otherwise, simply don't bother is my opnion. I am just done with that type of marketing.

But, but we need new mounts/forms and shit for everyone, I mean in due time I guess.

I think paladins are close, with Tyr and all that I think, but it still need pala mounts for all races, haven't seen much hints on that either.

[Worldshaper]

Bonkers sale going on right now, om Battle.net.

Sometimes I hate the fact that I buy half of this stuff when it comes out. Sales are never exciting anymore.

Oh crap, I just realised.

10.2.7 is called "Dark Heart" and has Harbinger Quests as a feature.

"A dark heart left broken awaits the taking," remember?

No words is also no word about them not happening. They probably just don't have a hard and fast timeline for them currently.

Or because it's a big deal, it's part of 10.2.6, which between the three post 10.2 patches seems to have the biggest potential.

Also, a lot of the Timerunner items seem to be related to LITERAL speed, so I hope it's not literally a running minigame.

[MCMLXXXII]

Isn't timerunning something like those quests in the temporal conflux? Running through golden bubbles in historic zones?
