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

[Mahcake]

This Monk rework has finally granted me inner peace.

And Double Jump my fellow Po! It's gonna be awesome.

I looked at the models, they use the male night elf rig. And just looks at those useless little hands. The extra set of arms is useless. Their model wouldn't work as a player race as it is.

I'm not really sure. I think it would work tbh. Bigger problem is the length of the legs and arms. I don't know if it would work well with some gear.

prediction so far for allied races in TWW:
Earthen - already announced
Half-Elves - From the Arathi
Primal Troll/Elf - That guardian.

I think there could fit in one more. The goblin raid has potential for a new goblin race? Mech-goblin, gilblin?

Id love to play a nerubian.

[Worldshaper]

Maybe the fact that they're ancient Dark Trolls explains why Queen Talanji was seen in that BlizzCon presskit screenshot from Azj-Kahet? She could be there to discuss their shared history and perhaps bring them into the Horde or something?

[Khaza-R]

Remember that :

There are no additional Allied Races to announce for The War Within at this time.

Tbf, its probably not something they would of brought back for a one and done.

I guessing its a fairly good engagement tool for unlocking and probably the race changes $ they generate.

[Merryck]

What about the spiders/arachnians though?

/s

They can't add them or they'll offend the arachnophobes.

[Enrif]

So what do peopel think the new Human racial is going to be anyways? Lower prices from vendors is already a goblin racial.

How about more money from selling items to vendors? Distinct from the goblin one.

[justwatching]

What does that mean?

Battleground Blitz becomes Rated and the old RBGs are going away so its just SoloQ now. Ion also at least implied that BGs are the primary focus for PvP now.

[Nymrohd]

Btw there is a more complex gryphon model, I hope it is a Gryphon Wild God

[Cheezits]

And Double Jump my fellow Po! It's gonna be awesome.

They added double jump to monks???

[Enrif]

Id love to play a nerubian.

Given that we get a arachnophobia filter, making a race playable that is basically spiders, seems a no-no to me

What if it was dialogue skips for some combat encounters. Humans can use diplomacy to skip the occasional minor fight.

Yes, at least it seems like it and it's after rolling.

Lighter Than Air - Roll causes you to become lighter than air, allowing you to double jump to dash forward a short distance once within 5 sec.

[Chickat]

Arachnaphobia mode could just change them to look like night elves/nightborne for those players.

[Dracullus]

So Delves' rewards will only go up to level difficulty 10 it seems. There will be levels 11 and 12 just for challenge and some achievements I guess.

Interesting, way more difficulty levels than I expected. More information needed.

Also Rated BG becomes the normal way to play if I understood correctly. Good.

Maybe it corresponds with dungeons difficulty? Delve 1 Normal dungeon, D3 = M0, D4=M+2, D10=M+8? I think they said great vault will cap around Heroic raid gear.

And yeah, they want to avoid having 5 modes for rated PVP where it's already pretty niche compared to raids, dungeons and open world. I wouldn't be surprised if 3v3 will get axed too.

Oh you cant do team queues for rbg anymore? Thats going to upset liberally hundreds of players. Dozens at least.

[Worldshaper]

The priest tier set is sick. I'm gonna play so many alts in TWW, lol.

See my later comment.

Considering they said they are changing that racial because they don't want people to feel forced to play them, I don't think something like this would work.

[Kiivar86]

My main's a human mage, so maybe with the loss of diplomacy I may just finally race change to void elf.

Actually wait, no, I make a lot of use of the human heritage armor for my transmog. Nevermind, I suppose.

I think that the "tauren camp" from the leaked imgur album was just the set for the Warbands background lol

Ah y'know what, that'd track.

Yes, at least it seems like it. I think it will work like with DH, just without the gliding of course.

Lighter Than Air - Roll causes you to become lighter than air, allowing you to double jump to dash forward a short distance once within 5 sec.

At least how I'm reading it, it sounds like you can double jump only after using roll.

[RahEndymion]

Hope everyone's getting a bit more hyped now finally. I've been away for a while and have some questions if anyone can help me:

1. Do we know if there is a neutral sanctuary city for TWW?
2. Does there appear to be any noticeable difference between Horde and Alliance levelling experience?
3. For those in the know, how are we feeling about the known narrative so far?

Lastly, how does the tone of the expansion feel? Is there any content / expansions or patches that it feels like historically?

It's hard to get a good read on peoples opinions when you've been out of the loop for a few months lol
