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

[Bwgmon]

There's apparently a new login screen as well that was datamined.

I don't know about the music though. During DF's beta the login screen music was 2 minutes long, and people complained, then the 10 minute version was revealed before pre-patch (I think). But we're already at pre-patch and it's still only 2 minutes long.

The full theme for DF wasn't released until about a week after pre-patch, along with Alexstrasza being slapped on the login screen. I definitely remember the doomsayers groaning about how "Blizz don't put no effort no more" after the pre-patch landed.

Sure about that? It was released on WoW youtube channel 31st October (can't see any earlier videos from wowhead or such), prepatch was 25th October.

Anyway, all these dates are too close to eachother to draw any conclusions. DF animated mini series premiered with pre-patch, now we don't even have trailer, but no one would be surprised if trailer drops tomorrow.

Oh, my bad then. If that's the case we might be getting it next week, but probably before the official release at least.

You can learn all the classic pvp weapons now even if your class that got the rbg av can't wear them

Still class locked sadly, but you can get the av via battleground blitz next season.

I haven't been checking on rumors/leaks recently - is there any information about the animated shorts series for The War Within, like Warbringers/Harbingers and so on? Has that been teased, or there's no info whether they would even go for these this time?

It was teased in the beta ^.^

[Sondrelk]

I found that to be positive. For instance, I made a paladin in remix specifically to farm all the shield appearances and the poleaxes. It gave a reason to make more than one thing. But then again I also enjoy making new characters.

Maybe I would have agreed if the upgrade cost reduction was account wide.

Still, not all bad. I did enjoy farming appearances to get most of the stuff I really wanted, like some of the unused staves and low fantasy stuff like the jinyu swords and book off hands.

Not sure how you would fix that for future versions without just adding ensembles, but maybe there is something's Ng that can be done.

Usually there are places in game where you can see them, isn't there? Meaning you would go there on the beta and just get the placeholder cinematic.

There have been some criticisms from the community towards the current War Within login screen, and this could be Blizzard looking to address this by changing it! You can see that the data indicates that the new login screen will have:

• A Ring
• Scrolling Clouds
• Bushes
• A Foreground, Midground and Background
• Background Braziers

At this moment, we cannot see what these new Login screen looks like.

Here's to hoping!

It sounds like Dornagal, although the "ring" doesn't really match the scenery. My theory is that they do not want to give up on the central ring, as they want to have it as a common denominator througout the saga. At the same time, to compromise with people feeling that in its current iteration it is claustrophobic and too much of a break from tradition, they will swap the "wall" in the background for an actual scenery, with an abstract ring hovering in the middle, rising from the ground, partially covered by clouds.

[Nathanyel]

Yay for yet another scene from the expansion 'continent', with a central "portal" analogy.

The DF ones trailer dropped on a Thursday about a month before launch. So maybe we will see something very soon

WoW players are literally incapable of handling change.

The idea of the login screen changing over the trilogy is way more interesting than more generic scenery that you see for 3 seconds.

Children.

Sigh, and Blizzard is once again catering to that small but vocal minority of toxic manbabies. It's no wonder why developers hate modern gamers. Making artists work on yet another login screen just because some toxic guys don't like the changes. Newsflash: TWW opens a new chapter in the history of WoW and the login screen should definitely reflect this. If you don't like it, just don't play WoW. It's not for you anymore.

[SunspotAnims]

I kinda believe that the current login screen and the alleged new one are connected in some way, as in the devs didn't make a whole new login screen to appease complaints about the current one, and had always intended for the current one to exist as the Worldsoul Saga-themed prelude that opens to reveal the traditional expansion login screen.

Man Blizz cranked the difficulty on old raids after the patch. Use to be able to solo Sepulcher of the First ones with little issue. Post patch I'm now struggling just in Castle Nathria
