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

[Ersula]

At best I can see them throwing out fated season if really they can release Midnight earlier than 20 months after TWW, but probably they would went with shorter than 6 months seasons + fated instead.

Considering they're currently struggling with giving out content in the later half of an expansion (content that isn't just fortnite apparently) I don't see that as being something to look forward too. And they implied the expansion rotation was going to be less than the standard 24 month rotation. Less than 20 months is a much bigger stretch. (I call that shrinkflation but apparently shorter expansions are a good thing to some people.)

Oh yeah, because usually we were drowning in fresh content 5 months after last big patch. What a terrible, terrible drought we suffer in DF, what they were thinking releasing small patch every 2 months.

Apparently. 10.2.5 was basically nothing. 10.2.6 was nothing if you don't like fortnite.

I'm just saying if Blizzard intends on shortening the expansion cycle don't be surprised when TWW season 3 is fated & there's only two raids. You're asking for this.

for those without an account:

"There is now a countdown on the Blizzard gear store for a “War Within 20th Collector’s Edition”'

[doledippers]

I wonder why they call it 20th anniversary collector's edition for TWW. I mean, I know the anniversary is this autumn, but it's an interesting choice.

well the 15th anniversary, for example, was on an off year, but this one is lining up with an expansion, so i guess it makes sense to roll both the anniversary edition and the collectors edition into one

Sounds like it will both commemorate TWW and Wow's 20th.

[justwatching]

I'd kill for T2 remakes for the 20th anniversary.

[Foreign Exchange Ztudent]

So if (big emphasis)there is another statue which character you think they would do for it?

I am honestly stumped, I'd be down for a Prince Thunderaan considering the frequency of Thunderfury appearances but I doubt so.

I guess if its in the theme of War Within, I'd expect Xal'atath I guess?

Obviously, honestly considering the combination I do feel it wouldn't be a general statue and instead themed around the War Within expansion.

[Makorus]

Honestly, as much as people hate him, I feel like Anduin would make the most sense. He is relevant to TWW, and he is probably one of the most important WoW characters and has been a character since Vanilla.

[Nymrohd]

Maybe they'll give Azeroth a HD update for the anniversary, and then the CE has a house!

World Peace sounds more likely

Or ... The Sword ! (What sword ?)

Or ... The Sword ! (What sword ?)

Honestly, a statue of that would be dope as well. Just wouldn't make much sense as a 20th Anniversary statue.

[milkmustache]

I really hope the statue is Xal. I think WoW is at it's best when there is a clear villain to take center stage. Aside from, you know, that guy.

given the players' obsession with Xal, maybe Blizzard should expand to body pillows for her.

[doledippers]

looks like This Week In WoW is gonna be really late, alpha announcement perhaps?

[Makorus]

Here's my guess:

Tuesday: Hero Talents
Wednesday: New Promo
Thursday: In Development: 10.2.7

[Makabreska]

Did we actually have official Alpha launch announcements in the past? When were they?
