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

[Lahis]

What is Undermine is actually the next storemount? AH, Mail, Transmog, Barber, Trainers, Void Storage, Pet vendor, Stable Master, Portals.... You name it.

Well now that AH and mailbox are on a store mount, next logical step is to make new store mount with AH, Mailbox and Profession table and sell it for 150€.

They can also make 8 different versions of the mount, one for each profession. That way they can later release new version of the mount with universal profession table for 500€.

A mount I could see happen is one with an item upgrade vendor. I think the feature had been in the game long enough to assume it will stick around, and let's not forget the Grand Expedition Yak used to offer reforging services until it got swapped to Transmog when reforging was scrapped.

I doubt there will be more utility mounts. At least for a while. If anything I see this as a softener for releasing "premium mounts" for $40-$50 that come with an array of customization options.

But anyway, I hope there's some juicy news soon because the cash shop is literally the most boring thing to speculate about.

So they did make SL raids/dungeons and before all soloable; the notable issue was Kel'Thuzad and the solution there was to spawn an unkillable Arfus to tank KT in the phylactery phase (ofc at least for me, whatever change they made also made the Remnant invisible and untargetable meaning you need to kill it with proximity or ground targeted AoE). Still, found it funny

Calm before the storm in this thread right now.

Predictions for this Tuesday and the next?

Hopefully something more than a small island on one of the gaps in the world map.

Other than hopefully another memory vault quest, i don't think we'll get much out of the next 2 weeks.

I hope that they surprise us with the Warcraft Direct.

I guess that they will show 11.1 and probably a teaser of 11.2, similar to what they did when they announced Legion patches. Hearthstone, Classic, SoD stuff... I do not care about. Mildly interested in Warcraft Reforged 2.0.

My personal and unlikely to become a reality soon hopes are the following:

- That they finally bring WoW to consoles, which I still think that will happen sooner or later, maybe in a new version of the game, so we will have under one subscription Retail, Classic, SoD and so on.

- That they make a new ''serious'' game in the Warcraft universe. By serious I mean that it is not another mobile game. I think that this will happen before 2030, but it is probably too soon to announce anything related to it.

- I also think that sooner or later we will get a Warcraft animated series, but again, it is probably too soon to announce something about it.

The main thing for me is a new game, a new solid Warcraft experience. While I think that TWW is a really good expansion, and that we will get at least as much content until Midnight as we got for DF, the only thing I care about is the story of the game, and I do not really need to play the game to follow it. But I am always happy to see WoW doing good and to see how the game evolves, although they need to relax with the Game Store, it is quite disgusting how they are going after our money constantly.

[Nymrohd]

I do still hope that they eventually try and deliver the Warcraft 3 Reforged we were originally promised.

[KOUNTERPARTS]

Warcraft 3: Reforged-ed

[Nymrohd]

Warcraft 3: Reforged-ed

I still think it's the lowest point of modern Blizzard so I just hope they fix it.

[HansOlo]

Either the final boss, or he goes free as the capstone of it. He goes out into the universe all like "Hey, gonna go get my Burning Legion back together. Then we'll see what's what."

He might even be the 'Last Titan', with the rest of the Pantheon going down over the course of TLT (they're likely still Argus/Aggramar-tier since the end of Legion, so they aren't colossal invincible planet-sized god-beings anymore).

I predict that Azeroth will awaken, but choose to remain the Worldsoul in order to preserve the world, and so act as a kind of cosmic immune system repelling major forces like the Pantheon, the Void, etc. from trying to claim her, so the cosmic stuff takes more of a backseat, and we get back to basics focusing on issues closer to home (Arathi Empire looking to take over, etc.)

Give us a scene, where we see Sargeras towers over Illidans dead body. And the heads of the other titans are just laying around. Introduce the edgelord back!

Please!!

That wouldn't be cool, just excessively gory for WoW.

I sort of agree. Been playing WoW and Hearthstone since they released, and the gameplay is starting to lose me a bit.

WoW has been hugely important to me, but it wasn't my first Warcraft addiction. I played W2 and W3 for many years before it was released. So WoW doesn't have to be the only Warcraft game in my view.

Would love a modern RPG of some type, or even an Overwatch-like game with Night Elves and stuff.

Would be amazing. Just rebrand it as Warcraft, enhance the graphics, and build every Warcraft RTS into it as different campaigns. On top of that, create a new campaign set between TWW and Midnight, with the Void as the main enemy.

[Joshuaj]

Oh boy, 11.1! I can't wai-

ZZZZzzzZzzz

Hopefully it's better than the last couple .1 patches.

WarCraft 3 : Re-Monetized*

Jokes aside I am hoping the WC3RF 2.0 rumors are true. It would make sense for Microsoft to fix this mess before moving on to remaking WC2. Also lets be real the game was clearly meant to have skins and other purchasable items. And I am not even mad if that's something they explore again

I am just curious what it would look like assuming it would have to be more than just QoL updates. Campaign additions? New story? Visual updates?

[Raetary]

Campaign additions? New story? Visual updates?

It would be pretty cool if they started doing expansions, letting us play through stories that otherwise wouldn't be (fully) represented within wow.
A campaign set during the Pandaren Revolution, or the Zandalari Troll wars would be neat.

Or a thorough playthrough of the WotA.

They could even do one that's not set on Azeroth, it'd be pretty cool to experience the fall of Argus and the Draeneis exodus.

Yeah, I love WoW but I have been playing it for 18 years. I mean, it is insane that it has (and still does, in a way) keep me entertained for so long.

ANY new experience in the Warcraft universe would be amazing, barring another mobile game. Obviously they will not make another Diablo or another Overwatch with the Warcraft franchise. Singleplayer games, sadly, will not be created by Blizzard, so what options we have left?

I would LOVE an action RPG with a new engine. Basically give me a WoW version of Genshin Impact with some adjustments under the same WoW subscription. With the amount of cool characters that WoW has, and with a focus in questing and exploration, who would not want to play that? But I doubt that Blizzard has a big enough team to develop such a game and WoW at the same time.

Regarding Warcraft Reforged, my dream would be that they use it to remake the absolutely canon campaigns of Warcraft, Warcraft 2, Warcraft 3 and WoW. I would be especially interested in a canon version of the 20 years of WoW in various campaigns. Highly unlikely, though.

Could also have some campaigns covering what happened while we were busy elsewhere.

Here's an idea:

Sargeras as the final boss of 13.1.

- - - Updated - - -

Think of it:

13.0 final boss: Helya or Chromatus.

13.1 final boss: Sargeras (we fight him either at Ulduar or at a titan arena in the domain of Order, but it's an instance, not a full on zone).

13.2 final boss: Iridikron

As controversial as the alternate universe is, I always thought it could be cool to see an RTS showing how exactly alternate Draenor got from WoD's ending to the Mag'har unlock scenario (and possibly beyond). I can't imagine us ever seeing that within WoW itself (even if the Lightbound come back I'm sure it'll just pick up sometime after the scenario), and a war between Orcs, Draenei, and possibly Ogres as a third faction seems like a great setup for an RTS.
