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

So its console mode for WoW, as I understand it?
If it will be great success (I doubt that) - we can see that new action-based combat in retail and open retail (or some console mode for WoW) for xbox? Heh, what a time to be alive.
Maybe it is way to bring console players ingame.

How in the world did you manage to take that away from the announcement?

[Nymrohd]

Well now let's see how soon we get the S4 PTR

"Action based combat"

they literally dumbed down the existing combat to auto attacks requiring pressing a button on your target.

Unlockable emotes? EXCUSE me??

Like what, troll beards? Housing? Class skins?

I doubt those requests had anything to do with this team.

Those are big features and they should absolute dedicate resources to them because of how much they've been requested. But there are smaller things that come to mind as well and to stay within the area of pvp here. Casual PVP could use some attention through some new BGs and a reward track. Anyway I hope its successful.

Mogs, rewards, this is what it's about. Glad Blizz knows this.

I agree that WoW PVP could use some love but this isn't WoW PVP. Not really.

Seems like it will take 40 days to reach max renown, i wonder how many hours of gametime per day if you don't win.

Thankfully it is not WoW PvP.

If something can save WoW PvP is a simple and fun system such as this.

No need to level, no need to have knowledge of all classes. Just join the party and have fun.

How do you know?

Also, has anyone found this in higher res?

They were talking about it in video i think or it was a post i read, at least as casual player you should earn 1 renown lvl per day.

Edit: Just rewatched video and i understood it a little wrong, it won't take 40 days for everyone, but just for people that will play very casually each day, small amout of time.

I was anticipating it would somehow give us a good way to level alts or a reason to make new characters until TWW. This doesn't. Still this looks like a lot of fun.

Though it's hilarious that the button scheme isn't even the standard wow controls: It's more like guild wars 2's controls.

I wonder how effective it might be to just stealth and tab out

I wouldn't be surprised if this has the same mechanic as Battlegrounds in instantly disqualifying you if you get flagged for being AFK.

The WoWcast video also shows that there is a storm.

It has the zone closing in like any other BR

If stealth even be in that mode. And borders are closing by time, so you should sit on centre.

[doledippers]

this is likely built in part by Proletariat, the team that wow acquired who made spellbreak, a very similar sounding BR

[Fahrad Wagner]

I'm surprised by this and at the same time I'm not! Would I have asked for this? Probably not. But it does look like fun and I'll probably play it to get the rewards anyway!
It's cool they're trying fresh things in WoW
