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

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”

WoW community being stupid episode 23513213: now people complain new Human racial is useless in combat. Because rep buff clearly was OP in M+.

Human racial? Viable...? as in?

[Sondrelk]

The whack-a-mole micromanaging of Remix is getting downright comical. The sanctity of the fun meme mode's balance is more important than anything Blizzard's put out in years; I hope these heroes are allowed to continue balancing the mode long after it ends as to not deny their passion.

Hopefully the next iteration is better balanced. I definitely agree that the frog farms and its derivatives are detrimental to the game, but I am more so surprised you still have the clear issue of having to chose between the actual rewards, or improving your character in a way that actually makes you OP the intended way.

You can't have the gamemode make the player decide whether they want to gear up OR get the time limited rewards.

I really want this gamemode to work, because I have had great fun levelling alts.

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.

I always wanted to ride a Magni!

Damn it, this expan is going to make me have to get into M+ Isn’t it.

[Xilurm]

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.

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.

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?

[Lady Atia]

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.

[Joshuaj]

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.
