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

[Ksgrip]

So if Faerin is 29, and Anduin is 26 as of War Within (if we assume it's only been a year since Dragonflight) - I can't help but wonder if Blizz is setting them up; they're sharing a LOT of dialogue which is unusual for Blizz, of course this could be them being true to their word and upping their storytelling; it's inevitably they'll give Anduin a queen and they've seemingly forgotten Taelia exists

There is no doubt about it. She is so heavily tokenised that any other option than being a central figure was all but discarded

Giving Anduin a 1 armed chick is CRAZY man!

Tho, tbf here...if someone fucks with the thrones, they're in for the worst shield bash to the face of their life. Like, that shit is gonna HURT!

1 armed, 1 eyed half elf black woman. It’s like she collects minority points. Of course she is going to be the queen lmao

Unplayable in what way? I only had a few hours to play so im only 20.

WoW has 20 years and people who do stuff ASAP still doesn't get they are guinea pigs for rest 99% of players.

Imo trying to catch all 60+ lvl potential bugs on PTR is very inefficient, cause most people just check PTR and leave to not spoil fun for themselves. Also leaving event like this on PTR for months would kill a lot of hype around it. Now they just use massive feedback to hotfix stuff before most people even get there.

Are you upgrading your gear at the bazar? You can increase its item level.

Yeah, this suddenly gets very important once you pass level 60. You go from getting slightly better gear every 5 levels to getting big upgrades every single level. If you're not getting better drops, then you're going to need to upgrade some items. I haven't done much group content yet but I still feel stronger than ever with up-to-date gear at level 68. And over half the gear ranks are saved for level 70, so you'll probably be able to get incredibly strong by the end of this.

And if you can manage to upgrade some gems to Legendary, that helps too- each one gives you around a thousand Stamina.

Gear upgrade costs seem really pricey beyond the base at max level. ilvl 346+

[Tiradon]

At this point I'm thinking we are locking at a late September / Early October release from the Alpha right?

Roadmap and MoP Remix duration still indicated late August/early September.

And you really should do your best to at least get the dungeons and scenarios done beforehand, that is a lot of stats (and potentially stamina)

'aight. I think this may be one of my favourite 2h sword models now. It's like the Wandering Isle one but 100x better.

Idk, my main timerunner is 68 and my group had no problems besides some weird scaling in hc dungeons which we actually fixed by simply running out and in again. Besides that, everything is smooth and super easy.

That's why small PTR will never detect many bugs, most people simply have not specific issue #52342. But usually feedback comes from people who had problems, then some popular rage bait moron on youtube/twitch will spread it like everyone has that bug and people start thinking "why the hell it wasn't fixed before launch"?

Yeah, saying "Oh, this is why a longer PTR is needed!" is so pointless.

People said the same thing about crest downgrading being buggy at S4 release, and it's like, who the fuck tests crest downgrading, a feature that is not new and has been the same for 3 seasons now, on a PTR?

Honestly, the more I read the wowhead article the more I'm convinced most people just didn't kept their gear up to date and were suddenly surprised they got oneshot. Either than or they simply choose the wrong tinker gems?

[milkmustache]

Remix has me wondering if there's a possibility to see a Mogu tribe siding with the Void an Xal'atath. I severely doubt it, but it'd be cool. Their death spirit magic warping into void would be a lot of fun.

The whole point of my post was that I wasn't tryna make it about her being a minority. :/

I'm level 70 with 346 in most slots and the bis tinker gems/ all epic gems and I'm getting oneshot in heroic as a tank - it's absolutely bugged

Tooltips state a certain value and it's actually hitting like 10x harder

"Tokenised"

Oh you're one of those

Please don't reply to me again alt account

A few item levels isn't going to stop boss abilities that are hitting for tens of millions and trash mobs that are hitting for hundreds of thousands on normal white attacks

The Plunderlord set is actually really good showcase on how Tmog behaves on Mechagnomes. 3D bits that are attached to chest or belt will show up even if they cover up legs, because techincally they're part of the chest/belt slot (3D bist on sleeves don't show up for obvious reasons). 3D bits that come with leg slot, which includes all longcoats etc. won't show up at all on Mechagnomes.

With SL and specially DF new transmog quality, mechagnomes become less and less desirable due to the tmog restrictions. Dracthyr still have their visage form, mechagnomes will just look bad forever. I don't see why they need these restrictions, just let us cover their mechanic feet and arms with armor, ir at least make the restriction worth it by adding crazy mecha leg and arm customization like wheels or something like that.

Not only is the KSM mounts being mechs a genius idea, it basically triple confirms Undermine and a Goblin season. Because mechs.

Probably Titan for the third season?

Wat?

Why would an S1 mech KSM mount (which is 100% Earthen design) indicate goblins and Undermine in S2?

Because I'm guessing that the theme will be mechs instead of all Earthen mechs. Similar to how the DF KSM was an Armoredon each season but it changed theme every time.
