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

[Makabreska]

The fact that there is nothing about affixes or anything three weeks before release is so weird. The fact that there is nothing about the reward structure is so weird.

What affixes? There are no affixes in S4.

M+ has affixes...

[Makabreska]

M+ has affixes...

Ummm, yes? And we are getting them as they are now, with some minor tweaks. We don't get any seasonal affixes in any PvE in S4.

[Valysar]

That's gonna be a boring season if there is no seasonal affixes, guess I'll just farm mounts and voilà, byebye S4

[Makorus]

What affixes? There are no affixes in S4.

Do we have any official confirmation of that?

If so, what does "Awakened" even mean? Literally nothing? We also have the "bi-weekly rotation" of dungeons that was mentioned in the PTR post that they haven't expanded upon or brought up again.

So Amirdrassil will literally be exactly the same as it is now? What a blunder. Half the classes are gonna play the same because half the classes got the S3 tier set as well.

Can't find it quickly, but it was I think Ion who explicitly stated, that while SL Fated affixes were fun, they made players re-learn some fights. So they are ditching them. Awakened simply means that the raid is in the rotation, with increased difficulty and loot ilvl.

But kinda weird, I'm 100% sure that what I quoted is right, but WoWHead article from 7 days ago says that affix may still happen.

I mean, yeah, there are surviving Drakkari, but the tribe itself does not exist anymore, so it's essentially the end of the line for them. Doesn't help that they are still under attack.

Thats true as a organized body there likely not in a meaningful spot, though They still have surviving Loa in the area so they could always do a story about the founding of a new tribe under there protection much like the dark spear them selfs

[Lady Atia]

Yeah but neither had full access to the new content

I doubt they will send the CE's earlier just for the early access lol. If you are lucky they do it like with that weird D4 collectors edition, basically no game attached to it.

Send game code in email

[Cherry123]

And so the alpha should be out before the 23... The deadline for announcing the alpha date is next week and the alpha release is on the 16th

[Lady Atia]

Send game code in email

They didn't do that for BFA/Shadowlands/Dragonflight and I doubt they will start with that now? I already told you how they usually handle modern collectors editions: you have to buy the game twice and get the virtual one back in bnet balance.

[allegrian]

The true S4 was plunderstomp and whatever pandamonium will be. Fated season is just an excuse to give players something to do before prepatch.

Alphas don't get announced

[Lady Atia]

Iirc they did a blog post on the same day it came out the last time?

[Woggmer]

I think it's less to do with player want and more that they could reuse the main race for the expansion (used in 2/4 zones) as a box feature (new race). If Nerubians will be playable it will be later down the line and it's just something they didn't confirm at this time.

Now, maybe a dwarf themed expansion wasn't the right call? Maybe the main race should've been a different, fan-requested race like Naga or Mogu? That's another discussion.

Well, there is something odd about the Arathi they showed... in that they didn't show what they looked like, but what armor they wore.. so it's curious to know what the difference is between them and a human. Because if they were just regular humans, they could've just showed a bunch of humans like they did the Kul'tirans.

I mean if you zoom in on the press screenshots you can see what look like just normal humans in the Arathi areas, and that one Arathi boss uses the Kul Tiran model

I know
A guy can dream though

Could also just be placeholders..

[Nymrohd]

Well I woke up in the early twilight twice for it but I am now done with the stupid Storms. Thankfully from this reset they are back to having two storms up concurrently.
Imo the better thing to do would be to have a storm starting every hour and lasting two hours but imo the entire elemental storm event was crap anyway.
