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

[Treegdar]

no news still?

Think the rumor was embargo ends at 10am pacific to line up with the intended release of the anniversary collector's edition. Just a guess tho.

They said there will be 13 delves. this image has 12. The last one was supposed to be something secret or spoilery to mention yet.

Say, for example, whatever is happening in Dalaran in this leaked image?

Certianly possible but would be a little weird to have it take place in Dal when they're supposed to be seamless mini-dungeons you just walk into from the overworld. Thats certainly limiting design wise, but would be odd to deviate from that model in 11.0 with only 1 delve.

[Makabreska]

Not really interested in Dalaran 3.0. Never liked the looks of this place.

I think the general issue with it is that all of the Delves are meant to be accessed the same way dungeons were pre-LFG. This would imply Dalaran is once again floating above our expansion zone. It's possible, but I think it'll be saved for Midnight or TLT. It also feels too impactful to be a delve. It makes sense as a dungeon, but maybe not a delve just yet.

But then again, it's entirely possible that Dalaran is focused in TWW floating above Khaz Algar and we have a delve set in the city.

Or Dalaran is destroyed by Nerbuians and we have a delve in it's ruins before Midnight introduces new rebuilt mega-Dalaran...

[Cheezits]

Maybe it will be a prepatch delve to get people into how they work? No idea how you would walk in. Maybe just the only one of them that uses a portal?

...which then gets turned into Nega-Dalaran by the Void.

[Dracullus]

Could be interesting. But another attack on Dalaran after Legion? Meh.

I would prefer a pre-patch dungeon in Telogrus Rift.

You will have it in 10.2.7.

Dalaran for pre-patch gives hope event will be something bigger than Icecrown and whatever the hell DF elementals supposed to be.

[Nathanyel]

Delves will likely have some kind of portal. Seemless phasing like with Garrisons would be nice, but could lead to all kinds of problems when parties are involved.

[Bindanda]

I really hope we don't get Dalaran as our city again. How many laps around the city are we supposed to do?!?

Not having a playable delve as part of the pre-patch event would be shocking to me. I don't think they'd redesign the whole geometry of the zone for just a questline...

A few of the London event streamers said they'd be going live in 10 minutes. Should we assume that's when they can start talking about it?

We do get a portal in a form of a mist. Delves ARE instanced zones. W/e Blizz may say about seamlessness, we still need some kind of teleporting.

[Cheezits]

Well now we know why Dalaran is a part of 10.2.7 lol. Do we think any Dalaran characters are going to get killed or kidnapped?

I like dalaran because it's so compacted and everything is close to each other.

That's why i also loved boralus.

We already have a hub so, Dalaran is definitely getting destroyed.

Same here, but I dislike Dals pinks and violets everywhere. I vastly prefer MoP Shrines.

[Local Ardenweald Faerie]

A third Dalaran would be cool if they expanded it out to the surrounding islands like we see in concept art.

[justwatching]

Destroying Dalaran is incredibly lame. Screenshots look fine though.

[Nymrohd]

I'd like for Dalaran to be forced to be grounded and stop moving around, it takes away the temptation to ever reuse it. Either send it back home or move it to Theramore.
As for why attack it, well it has more artifacts stored in it than any other place except maybe Azshara's vaults.

Meh though, I still wish they had let KJ destroy Dalaran in Legion to show he means business.
