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

Agreed, I love Nazjatar and have many fond memories of it.

[Lady Atia]

I personally wouldn’t take stuff like that at face value.
Remember all the praise Torghast got when content creators first started playing it?

But that praise was warranted? Alpha Torghast was a blast, as was the endless wing and the latest mode they added at the end of Shadowlands. Thorgast's problem was the easy mode and that they forced you to do it twice per character every week.

It will be SoD but retail.

Honestly, might be sick, but idk how it would work in terms of what abilities they add.

Im kinda shotballing ideas halfserious at this point, but it would be interesting if this new tech would kinda allow these kind of things and 10.2.6 would be the groundwork for that.

We have scalling, being able to change some old areas to new and back if needed, what if you could kinda opt in into this "SoD" mode and the world, numbers, lvls would adapt to it.

The pandamonium stuff in 10.2.7 also could mean some kind of opt in deeper timewalking mode, so you can do questlines again for the seasonal rewards and such, bringing old rewards no longer available.

Let's suppose it is "Pirate Survivors"; what is the "past musings from the community" about?
Just the concept of progressive, non-power-altering side content; like Mage Tower, or Torghast/Island Expeditions if they only provided cosmetics?
Is it going to involve something that the community has talked about relentlessly, like character customization, class cosmetics, etc.?

[Nymrohd]

I mean, something similar to Torghast could absolutely allow for SoD-style different abilities for classes. That is if this is the Vampire Survivors content.

Part of me will forever wish they'd just take Island Expeditions' content (the islands and mob types) and throw in Torghast gameplay and a mix of IE rewards with some minimal power rewards (what they are doing with delves is perfect and is what was originally promised for Torghast, Vault rewards)

I mean. SoD with updated graphics and transmog, and I would seriously consider it. Wouldnt need much more.

and so tomorrow is the last day to announce 10.2.6 or alpha or their schedule is on fire

They have like 2 weeks to ship 10.2.6 before it would be considered 'late' based on the pattern of patches in DF so far. I'm not sure they'll wait that long to ship it though considering a growing number of people know what 10.2.6 is and it's bound to leak at some point. I genuinely feel like it's going to be any day now.

I'm curious about the size of the patch. Besides the one main "thing", is there some decent side content for DF?

[Marlamin]

Do you know?

I know parts of it, but I haven't actually visually seen any of the new content or anything like that. Hopefully that'll remain the case until it releases, if not that might be a bad sign that something/someone leaked.

No idea.

Plunder Isle as Timeless Isle v 2.0 would be cool as hell, whether it's likely or not. The reason it's an event could be because it only becomes available on maps near the end of expansions, during the Fated Raid season.

The biggest argument against this is Dragonflight has added too many new Timeless isles already. Zalarak Caverns, Forbidden reach & the Emerald Dream were all Timeless Isle analogs already. In fact, the speed in which these zones become irrelevant is the expansion's biggest problem.

Torghast was amazing, the issue was that everyone burned out on them because you were forced to do them.

It was prime power fantasy fulfilment

Also: Pirate Survivors, tree and chicken emoji because in the first stage of VS, if you destroy trees, they drop chicken (food)

Indeed, their failure to update it enough, nor reach the power level it had during the Shadowlands Beta, was the biggest mistake of Shadowlands, from a game mechanics perspective at least.

[Marlamin]

Interesting! With respect to your stance on not leaking/spoiling, would you say that based on what you know, it's a patch players will be excited for?

I don't know man, I'm super out of touch. I don't even know if I'm excited for it, I don't know enough to form an opinion. I'll definitely check it out either way.

[Reive]

it's probably the vampire survivors mode datamined months ago

Do you like or have you played vampire survivors?

[doledippers]

im pretty sure thursdays "in development" article is going to be about 10.2.6, for a few reasons. firstly, we just got a blog on season 4, so im inclined to think it wont be about season 4. And secondly, im pretty sure they know people would see that "(article) in development" on This Week In WoW, and would immediately think 10.2.6. Given their awareness of the growing frustration from the community regarding the patch, i think it would be silly to essentially bait the community like that.

[Marlamin]

Do you like or have you played vampire survivors?

I have actually, great game for SteamDecking on the couch.

[Cheezits]

I do think Survivors is something they would charge expansion price for.

[ImTheMizAwesome]

It's coming and you know it.

Also i just stumbled upon this old datamine wowhead post https://www.wowhead.com/news/fortnit...arcraft-334050
