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

[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.

[Darkarath]

There will be atleast two new hair colors announced.

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

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.

[Cheezits]

Timerunning sounds like a huge deal that they are understating, but them hiding 10.2.6 feels like they are super confident. I think Plunder Isle with no dungeon or raid is a safe bet.

Also, lol no class race combos

[Foreign Exchange Ztudent]

Legitimately just tired and knowing full well that they will never outline their business plan for this Saga.

Rugpulling 11.1/11.2 is probably going to be the scenario. Such a ridiculous prospect of speed for the sake of box sales for higher ups.

We really need better support for the Narrative and Lore but it seems like that is still far off and Overwatch will implement their solution first.

Actually, the expansion sits right between summer and autumn on the roadmap. Autumn begins September 21st, technically.

I'm gonna say the launch window is August - September.

Meh, main cities should be off-limits IMO. Maybe there could be certain events where the factions tolerate each other's presence; classify them as peace summits or whatever. Aside from that, hordies out of Alliance cities and allies out of Horde cities. Maybe not via hostile guards decapitating them but very much via getting apprehended and literally kicked out with a boot up the ass.

A bit like Dalaran's silver sanctum and sunthingy thing?

That could be fun. Maybe an updated Pirates Day taking place there.
