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

[KOUNTERPARTS]

Also... I'd like to point out as speculation: a lot of the images we saw are in-game and supposedly from the Undermine zone.

The shots of the red/pink/purple Old God-like corruption are contains titan architecture. There are also shots of goblin buildings in the same area.



One could say that a certain named titan facility that has not been seen yet could be in the Undermine?

I wonder if my personal speculation of Uldaz being in the Undermine holds true. Perhaps the "dark secrets" of Gallywix they mentioned will deal with him trying to exploit titan technology, or using titan technology to somehow manipulate the Black Blood of the Old Gods... like they tried to exploit Azerite back in BfA.

Time will tell!

The roadmap does not say 10.2 will have a new zone...

[Relapses]

It's on the retail WoW roadmap. Spring 2025, 11.1.5.



And I'll second that sentiment. I loved Horrific Visions. The concept, the execution, the atmosphere, everything. I also loved Torghast for the same reasons.

Ah damn. I figured it was more than just a blip on the road map. I didn't watch the stream so I figured they might have at least mentioned it in passing. Thanks guys.

It will likely have some new area, but there is a technicality that makes it not a "new zone".

I can see them just sligthly expanding a current zone with a small harronir hub and raid / dungeon entrances.

[Kiivar86]

I'm placing my bet on refurbished old zone like Uldum and the Vale were in BfA.

[Telogrus]

11.2 is still gonna be Rootlands obviously. Either they just forgot to mention “new zone” in the roadmap, or the Rootlands will be added onto Azj’kahet

Uldaz you mean?

Possibly. Uldaz could also be the name of the final raid. Idk tho

Maybe.

It'll either be the Rootlands, or it'll be mini patch content.

I think it would be hilarious if the zone for 11.2 is Silithus because the sword is touching the Coreway. And the Rootlands is literally cut content. As in the Watchers cut the rootlands away to create the Coreway.

[Al Gorefiend]

any 11.1.5 Tinker copium sniffers.
Also: Any speculation on the triangle thingy at the end? Another remix? Another special type of event?

I'm a copium sniffer!!
At least we get Undermine and all the zany tech stuff I wanted before going into elf hell in Midnight.
Also I will probably legit cry if that expac launches with some Alleria class. Another elf hero class!! So exciting!

Sounds like SoD TBC is on the horizon as well as for their future plans. Shame I don't have more time to do so much SoD, I like the concept. And TBC would be cool.

[Makabreska]

I do prefer when raids and dungeons are in the actual dungeons instead of us fighting on the streets, but new raid interiors look really good. This,
and I'm not really bug fan of Nerubian architecture.

[Cheezits]

I actually think the delay of the Harranir/Rootlands is related to the Freyasworn Earthen. If it's a druidism themed patch, they may add druids for both races at the same time. And they would need additional time for the dual druid assets.

I think if they tried to make the casino too big to accommodate a huge raid it wouldn't work, but yeah it would've been nice if it was solely enclosed in that space.

Mechagon was just a normal 4 boss dungeon with 4 extra ones on the reused outside zone so that they could call it "megadungeon". It was very disappointing, the full thing should have been the city itself

[Joshuaj]

Listen, I'm just saying...

If I'm gonna join a Goblin cartel, I better rob some banks and deal in some risky trades.

[ImTheMizAwesome]

So i wonder for what this datamined thrall murlock pet will be used for, thought it would be a part of some warcraft direct bundle.

I hate to say it, but every single megadungeon has reused old zones or even its own new zones (Infinite). It seems like it was necessary for the workload.

So two new separate dungeons = more unique art assets, most likely. Definitely a plus of this.

It's an improvement yes, it was also awkward to divide them in 2 for heroic and m+

They would have to redesign the rune system entirely. But I do like the idea of setting an entirely different classic season in TBC era, which would be possible. I just think at that point make it an entirely different season. No reason to have runes for abilities you already get in TBC.

Yeah, they would have to change it up a little, but I guess they can do something different for TBC as well as updating the rune system.
