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

[Makorus]

I think that'll be a big distinction they're going to try to make with Midnight. Void magic never felt cooler than the Shadowmoon in WoD. I can't imagine there's not something they can milk out of this newer cosmic emptiness they're giving it.

I mean, there is the Cosmic Void stuff they've introduced with Sarkareth which is a strong enough foundation to build a class around.

But what do you do if you are happy with your choice in TWW but now with Midnight they release Void Hunter and it's just better for raiding and you have to switch from Dark Ranger to Void Hunter in raid and NOW you are unhappy?

I can't answer that because I do not let myself get suckered into a mindset that tells me I have to minmax to the extreme to play extremely well.

Well, since you can switch for free there isn't really any option besides to minmax it if you wanna get Cutting Edge imo. Anything else is just shitting on the other 19 people in your raid. It's like not using pots or a flask.

It would be different if you had to pick your hero spec at the start of an expansion and could never switch besides paying 10-20 euro to get a 1% dmg increase (so basically, racials), but that's not how it's working.

I genuinely thought DH's would have a 3rd spec by now, probably not happening tbh.

As for Evokers, I don't see them making them available to other races. The easiest thing for them to do is just allow other visages, Belf, Orc etc. Makes so much more sense. Hope they do it asap tbh, I want a different race for my Evoker

I assume after the World Soul trilogy will see yet another reset of the talent system so if DH is to get a new spec, it will happen after that.

Dear god, it's 10.2.6 day! Can we stop these endless debates about third specs and new classes?

Get hype!

I mean sure but . . . for what?

I mean realistically you only have to not visit any wow related sites in the evening today. If at work tomorrow, you won't be looking anyway and when you get home and eat, you can log into a surprise

But . . .my bathroom breaks!

[Auxis]

Did my calcs and maint should be finished by the time I wake up tomorrow :>

I wonder if they'll drop the patch notes once maint starts/is in progress or after maint is finished?

[allegrian]

My guess is that the only reason this patch is hyped so much is the fact it's not on the PTR. If it was it would just be another forgetable minor patch.

Is it hyped that much? I haven't seen a single comment about it in game.

Just look at the devs in twitter, they all have been hyping this patch up even more than main patches.

And who follows the devs on twitter outside this thread and reddit?
Try this. Log in and check how many people in trade know there is a patch coming.

It's still more hyped than any other minor patch. They made a full "developer update" only to say the day of release, they added the pirate flag as a mystery in the 2024 wow schedule, and the lead developer keeps saying it's the coolest shit ever.

That dev update wasn't planned to be just that though. 100% something went wrong behind the back, hence the delay and 2 sentences "dev update".

Eh… most of Sarkareth’s void kit can’t be transferred to classes. Also some of it involves dropping comets and causing supernovas, which Mages already do, or it’s a void version of Evoker abilities like Void Blossom and Abyssal Breath.

MMOChamps be like "oh I'm totally not hyped about patch I'm just waiting 8 hours for dev update to spite Blizzard".

I was hoping for TWW alpha updates

I think it's not something like that. I think they were just really on the fence about what they should share about the contents of the patch and in the end decided it would be more fun/cooler/whatever to not share anything until the patch drops. Hence the long wait for that post.
It doesn't make sense, cuz no global release, but I think that is what happened

Sorry but everyone in this thread is pretty clearly terminally online and hunts for WoW news. That doesn't mean the community is. Also curiosity and having free time is different than hype.
