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

[Makabreska]

Is it another one his "if I guess Im connected, if I wont no one will memebr about it" tweets?

[Reive]

Do people still believe towellie has insider knowledge on the game? lol

[Jester Joe]

I mean they straight up said there will be story in 10.1.7 that leads into 10.2.

I don't think it's that far fetched to guess they're not going to spoil what's coming in the .7 patch before it hits.

[Reive]

ok, i just noticed the "developer update" is marked as video. it's 100% the wowcast for classic hc.

[Raetary]

If it were classic related, it would say so.
And both classic and 10.1.7 had pretty much all their content revealed and announced, including release date.

There is no reason for them to post a recap video for any of that, as its primarily minor stuff.

1). Yes, he does have "insider knowledge"
2). He "hyped up" the announcement for 10.1 at-least 1-2 weeks BEFORE it was "officially" announced. Although there were no "official" comments from Blizzard, he (and a few other creators) kept hyping up the "week of March 7" for "WoW related news" and guess what? He was right.
3). Towelliee WAS one of the FEW content creators to announce/preview patch 10.1 through a dev interview on YouTube
4). The September 5th comment could mean anything from the PTR beginning, announcement of patch, etc.

Tldr; He is trustworthy

The WoWCast is an ongoing series, it definitely will keep getting posted regardless of whether or not there's news/reveals, we've had a filler episode that wasn't news-related before and the announced episode about classic hardcore is probably just that.

We really don't need more pages of "is x knowledgable" back and forth.

[Catastrophy349]

His main source was Lore AFAIK, who is long gone.

Lore has been gone for a while now, and 10.1 was announced 5 months ago.

So, what I'm getting at based on the Dev Update and this post...

It seems like that dev update isn't going to divulge too deeply in whats in 10.2 but maybe they'll show off some teaser or trailer to get everyone excited, then by Sept 5 after 10.1.7 launches, they'll go into greater detail of whats coming.

That's just my theory.

[Catastrophy349]

I would expect the cinematic for 10.1.7 next week (as that would line up nicely with EVERY other cinematic reveal for each DF patch, so far).

Additionally, other than a single tweet, we have NO confirmation/official word from Blizzard regarding a Gamescom 2023 appearance next week. So, 10.2 can literally be revealed at any time. However, similar to the cinematic reveal (as mentioned above). there was a 13-day gap between the announcement of Patch 10.1 and the release date for 10.0.7 (which, again, would put a 10.2 announcement very conveniently for next week).

Exactly, so he no longer knows what's up, just guesstimating.

He knew about 10.1. Lore was already way gone by that point. What did you not understand from what I said? He LITERALLY had a developer interview on his YouTube when 10.1 was announced officially. He basically announced the patch to the world.

[Catastrophy349]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6B1skgZrlA&t=242s His interview came out right when 10.1 was "officially" announced. One could argue that he was the FIRST person to announce the patch (all depends on where you were, who you were watching at that time because other content creators were ALSO announcing/releasing dev interviews for 10.1 at the same time).

Don't forget, patch 8.3 in BFA was announced through an "Ion Developer" Video on YouTube on October 7, 2019 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kc0oaxj5P80&t=837s RIGHT BEFORE Blizzcon 2019.

[Marlamin]

I would be REALLY pissed if they waited til 10.1.7 was released before announcing 10.2.

Go to Mulgore and touch some grass, this would affect nothing.

[Chickat]

Lmaooo nice cope, but let's be real, 10.3 is likely the max we'll get for DF.

10.3 would be the 4th tier. So you said exactly what I said.

[Catastrophy349]

Very true. Grass feels nice.

I'm not talking about WoWCast.
I'm talking about a developer update, as written in the blue post.

WoWCast is their podcast to give insights about the games development, not their medium for content updates.
Which is why its ever only ever advertised as a Developer Chat.

[Catastrophy349]

Refocusing on the "actual speculation of the game", whether 10.2 is a tomorrow thing, next week thing, or even further down the line: What is everyone most excited for? The raid, zone, public events, etc.?

[Cheezits]

Maybe it's some kind of update that's not specifically about 10.2? Weird guess but maybe like an overall "Future of Dragonriding" type of thing?

Two video releases on one day would be unlike them as they like to spread out content, but we'll see. I wouldn't put too much faith in the exact wording of the weekly blue post, it very easily leads to dangerous hype and wouldn't be the first time exact wording was wrongly dissected by this very thread.

Like always I am the most excited about cosmetics, as well as the slim chance of the loosening of Transmog rules.

[Reive]

blizzard doesn't really like to overlap things. if the wowcast for hc is tomorrow, then it's going to be only that.

I want new things. i want them to experiment and bring us new world content that is not another reskinned legion assault or yet another version of the timeless isle
