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

[doledippers]

Hopefully we get some S4 news as soon as possible. Already completed the 40 Renown Plunderstorm grind, and only really waiting for elemental storms to complete the Taivan achievement.
The guild i am raiding with has gone into hibernation and I am desperate to have some new content I enjoy.

ur not missing much with taivan, he currently doesnt even have a model in game. i got it today and all that happens is you run 100% faster

Ya S4 PTR doesn't excite me much mainly cause the things I get excited for in data mining is usually stuff like- new weapon and armour models, new creature/mob model, enviornmemtal art assets etc and of course story details

None of which we will see until the alpha hits

Maybe I'm just weird but like balance and gameplay changes in datamined don't get me hyped cause it's just text and numbers. I remember using Marlamin's tools for hours to just look at the random static decor you find around the dragon isles. "Oh look at this cool new bed model! Oh neat a dwarf tent" etc xD

Considering all of last week's bugs are still present in the game, including the ones they said they would fix with the weekly maintenance, things are probably on fire over there.

On the one hand, I appreciate them not doing a PTR so things don't get datamined early (even if I do love the datamining). On the other, they really aren't ready to push things out without public testing. Not that that makes things much better with testing, though, admittedly.

[Valysar]

It's up according to Blibli

[Kiivar86]

News page for it though the patch notes link doesn't work yet.

Edit: They have since removed the patch notes link.

Yeah, it's getting pretty frustrating. I know a lot of the talk about needing more communication earlier was in regards to tuning/balance or previewing upcoming content, but the retail neglect to me stems more from the sheer amount of bugs popping up since 10.2.5 came out that aren't getting addressed.

I think with the way dev teams are structured now it's getting harder to justify post-expac content teams, unfortnately. This may be the last time they do this many patches after a last raid (they did say expansions would be faster)

Weird, no explanation of dinars/bullion?

[Worldshaper]

S4 is, on paper, pretty dull tbh.

Guess waiting for 10.2.7 and Alpha is where it's at.

At least we get Trading Post news this week, and then Noblegarden.

And I kind of thought there would be updates to gear from the world as well?

Also no explanation of the raid rotation (if any?)

Fleetingly they mention a "bi-weekly rotation" in the section about Dawn of the Infinite but nowhere else. What bi-weekly rotation?

Also clearing the Awakened raids on heroic gives us the BfA S4 M+ title appearantly. They couldn't come up with a new one I guess.

I could not care less about these damn pets as complete rewards for the trading post ...

Agreed. I understand pet battles are a part of the game for many, but this year's rewards so far are wildly disappointing. 2 pets, a wrist cosmetic that is usually hidden, and one cosmetic holiday themed set.

Seems like it's going to be the same as in SL, with one raid active per week.

Then why bi-weekly?
But yeah it seems so cause I logged in again and now Amirdrassil is Awakened

Who say there isn't? I checked PTR for moment, weekly quest rotates between 10.0/1/2 and give champion random gear + spark (10.0 quest required no rep, just participation in siege, soup and hunt), from events at least dreamsurges weekly is updated - but not account wide gear you can spam, it's still 415.

Ah lovely, did not get to checking that. They say nothing about it on that useless blog

[justwatching]

All around disappointment. Thankfully SoD exists.

[Reive]

s4 looks sleep inducing. we'll have to wait 10.2.7 to get something interesting
