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

[Lady Atia]

Perhaps @Marlamin can shed some light on this, but when you scroll through the icon list in-game, if you're trying to set an icon for your Warband bank tab for example, you see a bunch of interesting icons of unreleased items.

For example, the chain mail bikini teased a couple of years ago. But also a neat new shield and lance weapon. A dozen different armour pieces and weapons that look sort of like mail armour, for example the one with the chain mail coif that we saw a good while ago but never got in the game.

Is there a way to confirm anything about these items based on where they appear in the database? For example, the Wanderer and Vagabond sets we usually get in the Trading Post seem to be ordered someway in the icon list. Can we use this to infer when other unreleased items in the database will be in the Trading Post?

I doubt that since they seem to be quite flexible with the way they put stuff in the trading post, aswell as ingame rewards. F.e. the old god fishs were initially all marked as trading post items afaik but one of them got later added to a TWW fishing achievement. I mean, they also literally either changed the design goal of the monthly rewards or someone on the trading post team really thinks stuff like the target on the back are "the most exciting item on the August trading post!". Also keep in mind, atleast initially we were supposed to get monthly "preview packages" in the store but they seem to have dropped that thanks to "feedback", without giving us more regular tendies or anything else in return. Last but not least the monthly prime rewards are also no longer a thing which were another source of potential future trading post stuff, while the twitch promotions are only for new major patches if we are lucky. Really wish they would bring back all of these (the monthly store teasers, prime rewards aswell as more twitch goodies but instead of giving us the same thing via 3 promotions maybe just do new stuff this time).

Same with the legendary Tarecgosa staff. Yes, the mount version got it obviously, but for someone with the staff only I was surprised it was able to skyride :-)

Speaking of Tarecgosa, still no way to "learn" the mount for every chars ?

I actually looked into that just few days ago, but doesnt seem to have changed no. Account-wide mount for sure :P

Latest comment on WoWhead says it still like this yes, and that was from yesterday.

I was looking forward to create an Earthen warrior but the racials are so bad/boring that I might just level a normal Dwarf...

They didn't even split the moustache/beard customization like regular dwarves.

[Auxis]

ANOTHER maintenance! /sigh
They are really adding them up to compensate for that 1 day free game time they are giving us

/s... ?

There's been some major system changes. This is hardly unexpected.

The fact that you literally can't eat any food kinda sucks as well, especially for healers.

[damonskye]

Is this the first time that we can't see the new continent on the big map during prepatch ?

Yes, BUT...

Everything's in the game at the moment, and you can access the Khaz Algar maps by going into the Dungeon Journal, selecting War Within (that's actually in there now, as is the WW raid tab), then selecting the map of any of the WW dungeons, and backing out to the zone.

For some reason, the entirety of the Isle of Dorn is uncovered doing this, as is PART of the Hallowfall zone, but nothing from the Ringing Deeps or Azh'kahet.

They can still drink.

You cant eat food or feasts? How is that balanced?

They can't eat food, but they get a permanent Well Fed buff instead (you can choose the stats by consuming different types of Khaz Algar gems, not fully sure how that works). So they can't use food to restore health but they also don't have to eat for buffs after dying.

What about mage food?

Oh I wouldn't have thought that got it too, neat!

[Nize]

Maybe it kind fits in the theme of Magni's "a place called--" mystery.

Not sure if that's supposed to be a mystery. The expedition members in Dalaran there say something along the lines of "I can't wait to see Khaz Algar"

Given the story we have so far, those NPCs were probably spawned in too early.

[benting]

Do the recalled memories mean Azeroth’s life is flashing before her eyes”?

I.... would actually not be surprised at all, tbqh

[Valysar]

Good theory !

[Lady Atia]

They have a meadery on Khaz Algar so drinking should be fine.

:P

[milkmustache]

I wonder if there's any particular meaning to the specific memories we're seeing. Could be no rhyme or reason, but I'm curious.

Dragonblight... duh. See you in 2027. Eastern Kingdoms I suppose has some relevance with Black Dragonflight and some possible expansion into Lordaeron in Midnight.

But Dustwallow? I didn't think we'd see much of Kalimdor aside from Silithus.
