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

[Catastrophy349]

Yeah true, but its just that there is no reason for 10.2 to be needed to reveal after 10.1.7 launch because of spoilers. If that would be the case, I would prefer if they announced it 2 weeks after, because I wouldn't be looking forward to spoilers on launch day on a patch. Want to play through it myself instead of being spoiled by a blog post on launch day.

I never once thought that 10.2 would be announced after 10.1.7 due to “spoilers”. I brought that up as a counter argument simply because based on all the dates I did, we still don’t have 10.2 announcement. So, we just wait and see!

Just because Blizzard did something in the past does not mean they have to follow the same method now/in the future. 10.0.7 being chapter 1 of 10.1 doesn’t mean 10.1.7 is chapter 1 of 10.2. We can “guess” it will, but we don’t know crap.

Yes, yes, they said that the .7 patches would be the lean into the X.X major patch before anyone jumps down my throat.

As I've said, it pretty much teases paladin for all races (which was predictable with Tyr tbh). But it could simply be the Tyr's Guard bolstering its ranks since Travard said he would call for back up.

So they just added this on Amazon Prime Gaming.

Show off your devotion to the light....hmm

The things that go against Tyr/Silver Hand meaning paladins for everyone are:

1) Blizzard's reaction and rewrite for Orc priestz, going away from that kind of thing. Also the Warlock quest kind of does this to address the "odd" pick of LFD warlock.

2) The hint that Tyr will be antagonistic in the future.

I think it's likely a story thing only but the setup for lazy paladins is there, if they want to take it.

Its just one of the TCG loot cards like they've been putting up over the past year.

Its as much a hint toward future content as Swift Shorestrider or the silver pig or the big battle bear.

So you're saying there's a chance!! lol

I mean I suppose? Heh.

But in all seriousness they just picked one of the eight TCG tabards and there were indications that the Tabard of Frost may be coming as well at some point.

I wouldn't look much into it.

[Cheezits]

Honestly I hope they follow through on Tyr, and maybe to an extent Turalyon/the Church being antagonistic for a time period, if only to encourage additional ways for races to utilize Paladins. Elune light, Rukhmar stuff from Draenor, more races being connected to the Naaru (Forsaken?), things like that.

10.2 stuff aside, I'm pretty excited for all the 10.1.7 encrypted stuff we have coming for us soon.

One imagines more Trading Post stuff alongside the Blizzcon rewards, but maybe something else as well?

[Bsirk]

I almost feel like the other promotion will either be Rumble or Hardcore classic related.

[MyWholeLifeIsThunder]

Pretty cool logo with nice colors, love the word choice and how it breaks mold, enough to give you pass.

But... the BG shape makes no sense, it's just gibberish put into a roughly harmonious shape, but there's a lot of detail that's just not there or makes no sense, the lack of evenness on the circle. It's probably AI generated.

[Revamp Man]

It's weird that we haven't seen a build of it yet. I assume we'll get a reveal of why that is soon (patch size being surprisingly big and/or it being the last patch).

Don't say that you'll get attacked by the "that was only because covid" crowd

I could see the expansion ending at 10.2. But only if Blizzard is ready to immediately pivot to 11.0 full World Revamp released late summer. Aything else and it would be destroying all goodwill. And even with that would probably lead to all future expansions carrying the taint of a potential early cutoff.

I saw for the tabard, but there shouldn't be 2 promotions today? did i miss something?

The other one is you getting promoted to CSO (Chief Speculating Officer). Congrats!

The story could be over
It doesn't have to be an early cut off when right now Tyr and the aspects getting their powers back is the only thing left because iridikron essentially said "yo I'm out, have fun fam" and it can be in 10.2.5.

Fated season for a polished expansion

That would be a very quick expansion. Not a good idea.

I have heard some rumors from a semi credible source( take it with a grain of salt):
- Expansion names are on need to know basis until before the launch. So anyone who leaks so early the name is probably lying.
- They are revising the new player experience, because they expect a big number of new players in the new expansion.
- in kalimador and eastern kingdom evergreen content will be added gradually
