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

[Valysar]

The lign turning green + the rune can only mean one thing ... ZERETH VITAE

[Sondrelk]

They chose Fast and Furious Undermine over adding a tinker class.

Thats a big F

Pretty sure thats the nail in the coffin for tinkers ever coming to wow

Did anyone actually genuinely believe we would get an entirely new class in the middle of an expansion?

[Joshuaj]

I'm really glad I was wrong about console WoW tbh. Maybe I was right to add some pessimism to my mindset, that way I won't be disappointed.

11.1.5 having "New Content: Nightfall" is interesting. I assume it's a megadungeon, though it's not specifically stated. It seems to be related to the Arathi and Beledar, maybe a precursor to Midnight in some shades. Obviously reusing horrific visions for things more void specific.

[ChairmanKaga]

Actually shocked by player housing.

[Ersula]

Is that Triangle at the end of the year the symbol for housing? Is that safe to say 12.0 pre-patch end of year 2025, actual expansion release February 2026? That means TWW is 18 months long, which was the shortest people were reasonably guessing.

Nah nah nah. Lemme ride my sick asf car!

[Raetary]

It kind of looks like a house?

That too, could be early Player Housing.

[Kiivar86]

I think they were pretty interesting tonally-speaking.

Eh to each their own. I vastly prefer the delves, myself. I know there'll be new ones, so I'm not worried there.

In truth I'm middle of the road with these reveals. Not much that really excites me beyond what's to come in Midnight, but I do know things can still surprise me in TWW.

If it were a megadungeon, it'd have said so.

[Samin]

It looks like a hearthstone, so maybe early release for Housing?

Yeah that's probably it, probably means that's where they plan the prepatch. I assume something big as player housing will come with big system updates.

I have a feeling Nightfall is going to be a Beledar megadungeon.

Glad for the people that are happy. 11.1 looks like a solid patch. But the lack of a new zone for 11.2 is a very bad sign IMO. We will get less content than in DF. We all thought that this was a possibility when the WSS was announced, and now it is becoming a reality.

Housing will be introduced in Midnight. Hope that they get it right and that players enjoy it.

It was a good show but I am somehow dissapointed. It is not enough to come back to WoW. I will just keep following the story closely.

Enjoy ¡¡

It's likely just her visions.

We know that she hears them too.

But it's the first time a character sees the Worldsoul in-game. It's the first time we actually know how exactly Azeroth is.

[Sondrelk]

I mean they kept being less coy about it. I wonder how many years it has been in development. Midnight feature ofc.

I want to say it was during Shadowlands, or the Blizzcon when DF was announced when Metzen talked about housing being something they were open to, but which needed a good long wait while they brainstormed how to make it feasible.

[KOUNTERPARTS]

Let's talk about one thing that was shown but not announced.

ORWEYNA RIGHT NEXT TO THE WORLDSOUL AZEROTH!

Most definitely a vision/dream type thing.

[Enrif]

So housing was the big reveal. nice i guess. I hope it will be good for us roleplayers to use with other players

the roadmap is nice. Nightfall is likely something similar to the harbinger quests and leads from TWW to Midnight. I can see the Beledar being the focus for that, but let's see what they are cocing.

As for the rune on the roadmap and green: WoD Remix. Runes were a big focus in the first raids with the ogres and green, well it ended with fel, didn't it?

[Makabreska]

Soooo is housing part of that "Midnight features will blow your minds" we had few months ago? Hope there is more to that, not a big fan of housing.

[Kathranis]

Undermine is certainly good news.

Housing? Very curious to see what they do with it.

Also curious that 11.2 doesn't have a new zone tho. They've been pretty diligent about adding one of those with every major patch for the last two expansions.

Siren Isle is listed under "New Content" for 11.0.7 so I wouldn't count it out. The 11.2 graphic is clearly a placeholder since they don't want to announce the specifics yet.

[Joshuaj]

Is that Triangle at the end of the year the symbol for housing? Is that safe to say 12.0 pre-patch end of year 2025, actual expansion release February 2026? That means TWW is 18 months long, which was the shortest people were reasonably guessing.

Maybe.

Hmmm...

[JDBlou]

Nightfall = dark arathi megadungeon?

And the flag being the symbol for your "house" hearthstone?
