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

I'm pretty sure this will be a piece of crap. What can they do that's so unique if they can't even make Quel'thalas part of Azeroth at Midnight? LOL

Can they create a biome auto dungeon or island generator using AI? like sandboxes, where each download gives a new location?

Nimalram, nobody would know.

Nimalram tweets: "Datamining has revealed much... prepare for 10.2.6 titled Nightsquall and the Rock Climbing, Food Fighting, Cartographer's Raft Bonanza!"

This makes me so sad. I really love Augmentation but I much prefer elves to dragons. Demonkind has all these legions & armies with no support or healer troops? I guess that explains why they constantly lose.

If its any consolation, the only way the can add a new spec mid-expansion in TWW is via the Demon Hunter class.

The other option is a new class mid-expansion. I'd put money on a 3rd DH support spec over a new class mid-expansion.

But you never know.......

Didn't they say you can fly into Midnight?

Demon Hunters only having two specs makes them feel like the odd man out now and a relic of Legion's focus on slimming down the classes. Hero talents feels like it may be locking that in; if they added a third spec, it'd also need a new hero talent tree for it and for one of the other specs to swap places with one of their hero trees so every spec has access to two. The workload will be much higher than it is now.

In a similar vein, I think Evokers aren't being released to any other races for a long time, if ever, with the hero trees all placing so much focus on the dracthyr elements and their racials.

Wild guess that we’re revisiting the vrykul blood curse in the form of Nightsquall. I haven’t forgotten about that vampire survivors game mode that was datamined a while back.

I think it's definitely do-able that they add a new spec & two corresponding hero talents to class, mid-expansion, considering they're coming up with 30+ of these things....plus how about 30% of these hero specs are just "proc a helper that mimics your abilities." And even more likely I think they'll be adding more hero specs mid-expansion, since they probably want about six per class by the end of the saga.

Honestly I'd just be impressed by how deep of a cut that is.

I don't see Evokers for any other class, but I do see more DHs sooner than later and more classes for Dracthyr.

If they decide to go with horizontal progression down the line I hope they confirm that sooner than later during TWW (assuming it doesn't turn out to be a huge mess). I don't envy the load on their balance team right now.

I like to think of the hero spec feature as, imagine borrowed power....but if you don't like this year's new borrowed power feature, you still have the choice to use the old borrowed power feature.

And I think they might add new ones mid expansion just so people can get used to there being an odd number of them. People have already predicted they will get old fast if they have to think of another 30+ for Midnight, but they'd be more substantial if they are able to add new ones dictated by their own inspiration.

Just give Evokers different Visage forms. Done, Evoker for all races.

Ok, Mythic Fyrakk ded. Right before next content drop.

That vampire Vrykul rare from Legion?

Not a rare, but from a sidequest

Fun bit i found on the warcraft wiki page about vampire in WoW
https://warcraft.wiki.gg/wiki/Vampire

This ancient vampyr, Blood-Thane Lucard, was killed by an order champion, though Mrrgglton had his doubts as to whether vampyr can truly die

The vrykul of Northrend were initially described as vampiric by Chris Metzen at BlizzCon 2007, but this aspect was seemingly scrapped before the release of Wrath of the Lich King.

A vampire survivor game mode doesn't need vampire. We just call it that way because it is the first to have a huge success. In fact, the best of them is not vampire-themed.

Although I wouldn't mind some vrykul love.

That makes these pirate vrykul extra mysterious. I guess they would have to be analogs of Death Knights, or they practice blood magic.

idea: what if they are the heretics from avaloren? blood magic practicing vampire vrykul pirates?

Edit: Or in short: Vampire Vrykul Vikings! V3!

I think the more intriguing tie in here is the fact that the Blood Thane vampyr NPC's victims in this case were none other than the pirates on the coast of Stormheim.

Very late realization, but did that "ghostly monster" mount noise ever get used? The one that we thought may be for CE 11.0?
