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

[Woggmer]

- Shamans / Paladins for all races (one of the two, Druids for 10.2.5 or 10.2.7).

This one is unlikely for a couple of reasons... but based on the images of those training dummies in Tyrshold. They may just be there to get the Silver Hand or the Tyr's Guard stationed and ready for Tyr's arrival. If anything, I could see Tyr being the one to train new Paladins because his Silver Hand has been the biggest symbol among Paladins.

I'd rather they do Paladins right instead of like what they did with Warlocks where we don't get much explanation other than "they've always had that option, it just never occurred to them that it was an option."

Shaman? Well, we don't know how the Incarnates were able to get so many people to join the Primalists... so until we figure that out then we probably won't see Shamans for everybody.... (Also side note, shouldn't these Primalists raise the attention of the Earthen Ring to be involved instead of just a handful of them involved in the Expedition?)

I would think that mythic plus dungeon is in its best state since its introduction and it is a rather solid one. The gearing system though I can't say the same.

They should for sure reduce the number of steps for item types and types of consumables.
- remove whelping crest and aspect crest
- make any upgrade that required whelping crest use drake crest
- make any craft and upgrade that required aspect crest use 3x wyrm crest for each aspect crest it used to cost
- mm+ 16 and above and mythic raid bosses give 3x more wyrm crest than other sources
- merge explorer, adventurer and veteran into adventurer

This way it is clearer what currencies are used for and less counter intuitive what the naming of the items mean

[Cheezits]

Honestly I could see the Silver Hand stuff being a red herring of sorts: what if it's building up to everyone getting hype for Tyr and welcoming him with open arms, but then he does something that causes them to reconsider his influence? It may be a meta plot based on how people didn't like the Legion Silver Hand encompassing all races and cultures.

Alternatively, some of the Silver Hand becomes antagonists with him, and we end up having to fight some of them.

New location is called the Abyss. Tiered area, with Kezan on the top, the Undermine beneath it, a Nerubian zone beneath that, and then Khaz Algar at the bottom (at launch at least).
Incarnates succeeded in drawing the Titans to Azeroth since Iridikron tainted the world soul.
Nerubian neutral race. All non-hero classes for all races.
Battlegrounds revamp, keystone raids, permanent timewalking (merged with Chromie time).

I don't think Kezan AND Undermine would happen, too much of the same theme. Otherwise kind of a neat idea.

You mean "this way, people can just replace capability with time".

Because that's the main result of your changes.

I know a lot of people are eager for the Scarlets to return to relevance, this could maybe be an interesting route in a purely hypothetical sense. Then of course leading into whatever Light fanatic Lordaeron takeover plot we want

I think Tyr is going to be the lead-in for antagonistic Light stories on Azeroth, similar to how Iridikron is leading Void stories right now. He can be tied to Turalyon and the Scarlets through Paladins in general, and then can probably access Yrel through Titan tech (similar to how the Tyrhold beacon currently works).

Throw Lothraxion in there and boom.

That makes little sense. Kezan is the island. Undermine is the actual city. That'd be like doing Boralus without Kul Tiras.

And as per Cata and BFA, Kezan's surface is full of goblin towns.

You could expand it into being goblin ruins, lava, jungle etc but I think that would be a little repetitive after DF.

The only change for high item levels is that you need 3 wyrm crest instead of a aspect crest for 441 items and 12 wyrm credts for crafted 441. Which honestly makes more sense, getting geared is still easier for people more able and takes time if you will for less apt people

Can we start linking to source posts instead of bluetrackers?

There's some pretty cool key art on top of the official post.

Hard baited. Thought it was going to be the trailer cinematic

Seems to be a screencap of a cinematic

I didn’t realize my post didn’t show that. On my phone so I just linked first “ping” I got on phone.

We haven't gotten the week timeline yet, we could still get a reveal date. The timeline should drop in an hour?

Also, sucks that Velen questline is delayed till the 12. Looks like they are timegating again.

[Zaganite]

So Shandris is taking a bit of a lead for this patch interesting! Really looking forward to where the patch will take us!

I noticed that, I hope she has an encrypted new model.

[Darkarath]

Interesting. Would not be cool that when we spy on the Incarnates and their allies with Shandris, some of those allies were the Elemental Lords? It is time for them to make an appearance.

I think there's a definite chance Magatha and/or Smolderon may appear there. Magata would be really cool and give the Horde some plot during this, she was actually datamined very early on but hasn't appeared.

12th september for the man'ari questline

yeah we won't see 10.2 for a while

Don't think that has anything to do with 10.2, they have been timegating some big quests like the Blue flight in 10.1. It only being a week later doesn't mean much.
