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

This map is way better than any of the DF ones. I like how it connects to the other two zones as well. Wonder if there's a way to get to the Priory on ground, even though the gap doesn't seem to be that large.

- - - Updated - - -It was one of the few actual reasons to play Alliance. Sometimes a rep was only attainable early by use of the 10% rep bonus, and since Alliance has no racials that are useful for progression raiding in the same way Horde ones are it was as good as it got.

All racials should be little utility things like the new human racial. I hope they continue this trend and change dwarf stoneform, shadowmeld, troll haste racial, orc racial etc.

Shadowmeld is from WC3, leave it alone.

Nan people should just get over trying to mix max the fun out of every thing and we should keep having cool little favour things for each race which can have minor effects on gameplay.

This.
It's an RPG.

Unless you're playing at the extreme top level of play, the advantages don't matter, and said advantages are also fun to take advantage of when you do.

Screw races being actually unique and fun though because some dude's mad you can cheese a mechanic in some esports mode in a roleplaying game.

It's funny to see how they take the last viable Alliance racial abilities and turn them completely dead.

It is necessary to give all horde races abilities like “Kill any boss or alliance player every 10 minutes”

And give the Alliance an ability like “drink beer and become drunk once a day”

Shadowmeld is meta in PvP and PvE.
Entroipic Embrace is solid in both and Spacial Rift is solid in PvP and lack of pushback on spells is extremely good in PvP.
Stoneform is meta in PvE and great in PvP.
Human racial is still meta in PvP.

But go off, I guess.
Alliance is fine now.

new invite wave?

There is now a "photosensitive warning" when you launch wow alpha

I also found the traders for the season 1 mark but they are currently unfriendly, if someone has quested there can you check if you can interact with them? Not sure if I have the time to quest through the whole zone tomorrow.



Would be good to know if you can get elite transmogs again or if they keep the un-elite look from season 4.

Keeping an eye on this too. I think they might’ve scuffed S4 because there’s two different sets, PvE has the voted set and PvP kept the S3 set.

Yeah, and it also would have been unfair to bring back some elite bits from past seasons (especially s1 which never was available via the trader) but others not.

Literally all m+ and mythic raid meta is either night elves or dwarves. Try harder.

Was expecting a profession based one considering the whole "humans are adaptable and fast learning" hat that tends to be worn in fantasy.

Could call it Human Potential and everything. There's money sitting right there on the table, Blizzard.



Don't be obtuse. There's a good sized gap between "all stories are inherently not required" and "this type of story is redundant with another archetype that was underbaked."

Wouldn't it make more sense if the Black Empire expac simply took place BEFORE Shadowlands then?

I like the map, but why does it look so tiny? I have seen a flythrough over the zone and it's massive, but this map makes it look really small.

Probably because it's trying to fit in the entrance to the other two zones. Look how much space is taken by the brown mountains. At least it's not as bad as Tirigarde Sound's map. That was atrocious how Drustvar is just chilling on the same map as another map.

Actually I find Shadowmeld pretty useful. Well it was more useful in earlier expansions, because now the problem occurs less but...

It is great when you get stuck in combat. It happens less now, but it still happens for me. Then I use Shadowmeld and I'm out of combat. It's actually great when I cannot mount because I'm stuck. And it isn't some raid-OP, so it should be left as it is. Also, it is a thing that was in lore since W3, so that is another argument.

All racials are either an combat active ability, a non-combat active ability, and two passives OR if a race doesn't have an active combat ability it gets two additional passives instead. So actually Humans were the one exception because they're the only race that didn't have a non-combat active ability, but now they do, if you count the second hearth as an active ability.

[Joshuaj]

We have an in-universe reason that the Titans wrote a book that talks about the "world of Warcraft" in its contents? Do tell me that one.

But no, I'm actually referring to facts in the book contradicted by the information put out immediately after in Antorus that the Titans would be aware of.

This is, of course, ignoring that it was pitched as a lore bible to clarify things before they went back on it.

Calling it "the world of warcraft" just means the Titans see Azeroth as a world where wars are typically forged, which is true.

Also, have you ever taken into account that MAYBE Chronicle Volume 1 had no way of documenting the whole Titan spirit thing? I always liked the theory that the Legion stole the Titan spirits during their assault on Ulduar early 7.0.

Besides, Chronicle does release before Legion, so Blizzard could always add that as an in-universe reason for why it was never talked about.

It's okay.

Sadly I don't expect another Remix after this fiasco. Just the name alone is pretty tainted, even if they fix what people want (easy max-level gearing).

What are you talking about. Remix is easily the most popular version of WoW at the moment. Not to mention its essentially evergreen, auto-pilot content for each expansion once this test screening is finished. I hope they give us another remix immediately since I'd rather level my Earthen in timerunning than timewalking.

Most popular in a dead filler season is not really good merits for how well it is doing. They absolutely lost the plot with the hardcore fan community- all social media threads of the post saying they don't plan to reduce bronze costs are overwhelmingly negative. Way beyond the point that an experimental mode should be garnering for World of Warcraft in a delicate time period for its growth.

Tainted? Man people are being so dramatic about this whole thing. Yeah they've made some stupid mistakes but you'd think it was utterly ruined.
