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

[Joshuaj]

Imo housing posts + youtuber event did it's job already, people are more hyped than worried it could turn into garrison 2.0. Now we will have PTR and likely chain events: 5th August patch, 12th August season+race, 20ish August Midnight reveal, 10.2.5 reveal somewhere in between or on gamescom (anniversary, duskwood thing, dh spec?) and Alpha is probably around September.

I just want an exterior article lmao

I think we're getting one more article before expac reveal and i'd make sense for it to be this one. We know 0 about it almost.

They said they'd reveal more news about Neighborhoods eventually as well. Wouldn't be shocked if we get a first look at both Neighborhoods, with a reveal of 3 Building Exterior sizes (exterior and interior sizes don't affect one another, but the exterior size would be a cool way to flex regardless lol).

For Human, I'm expecting this:

Small- Shack
Medium- Cottage
Large- Mansion

Exteriors plus a look for the Horde neighborhood too would be nice.

Make it the same article

Exactly my thoughts. Display the types of houses in each zone.

Would explain why it's taking longer then lol

Really hope I don't have to wait til August for that

Is it raid boss testing time yet?

[Cheezits]

Is it raid boss testing time yet?

Yes, and Salhadaar is tomorrow. I'd keep an eye on that fight for plot reasons.

[Eldryth]

Yes, and Salhadaar is tomorrow. I'd keep an eye on that fight for plot reasons.

Soul Hunters are tomorrow too, and given that they're the source of all the new DH spec hints and speculation, it'll probably be interesting to see the Void one in action.

You got me all excited, we're gonna see how the new spec (not official but I'm willing to bet it's gonna be) plays. To bad we won't be able to see how the mythic only scythe ability looks like.

[Makabreska]

Welp, testing still didn't start. Seems like Blizz has some issues.

Yup, they cancelled today's testing.

[Fahrad Wagner]

Forsaken TP rewards are neat! There doesn't seem to be any interesting flavour text, but I'll check again just in case hehe

I think it’s cool that they’re all from the reward this time.
I was expecting them to do mount as the reward and both the transmogs you’d have to buy with tendies.

Guess it is time to roll a few undead again.


Speaking of which. Am I the only one who actually dislikes that the Forsaken racial mounts are just dead horses, and not something more inventive like a giant spider?

(Maybe this could be another idea for an Undead Elf allied race)

Lmaooo the actual fuck?

[Merryck]

What's the status on Maiev? I guess she'll return in Midnight. She's probably one of the better written female characters.

[Makabreska]

Lmaooo the actual fuck?

Well, this what they always add to raid testing schedule:

[Makorus]

Well, this what they always add to raid testing schedule:

And it's not even the first time PTR testing got delayed/pushed back. The same actually happened for (I think?) the first test of 11.1. It's very much a regular thing.

Yeah, let's hope it's not just a "this is a summer bonus" and instead they continue that. Basically every upcoming month has a transmog set + fitting mount to go with it (well actually 4 but if we are lucky we get 2 via trading post and one via shop).

[KyleEverett]

The paranoid part of me is scared when Blizzard gets overly generous like this. 3 free things from the trading post bar, and the Collector's Bounty buff? I'm waiting for the shoe to drop.
