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

[Sondrelk]

I think it'll be pretty good the first month, considering the bonus 1k. You'll be able to get the celestial steed and the flail.
The second month however..

For me the big deciding point will be 10.1. And whether we seem to get consistently more rewards added.

[Nathanyel]

You'd see more complaining over here then ingame.

I didn't specify a location

[Revamp Man]

Man it's way too early for this.

i mean i started in 8.1 back in the day and it lasted a bit

world of warcraft 11.0 end time

After the death of deadwing, parts of his corruption spread through the maelstorm and reached the worldsoul of Azeroth itself. It's titansoul was dorment and easy corrupted.
With Azeroth corrupted by the void lords , they finally achieved one of their goals. Corrupting a titan. It would take years for azeroth to wake up, but the power of void grows rapidly on the surface.
Many people go mad, and start doing the old gods will. With so many for their cause, 5 old gods managed to take over the surface in a matter of days. The entire population went mad.
Nozdormu hears the whispers of the old gods, and manages to see the future that had been clouded all this time. The corrupted titan would enslave the entire universe when she wakes up. A future where nobody has their own wil.
There is nothing and nobody that can stop this future. He feels the corruption taking over his body.
The hero and Chromie are inside nozdormus protective bubble inside the caverns of time, but this bubble is slowly decaying with nozdormu losing his control.
He hears whispers of the old gods, but also the voice of someone familiar (neltharion).
With his last moment he trows the hero and chromie back in time, and he shatters time itself. For a moment, all infinite possibilities happen on al timelines and time itself is shuffeled. For the past (right before the cataclysm) it means that the world is not like it used to be. Naga, tuskarr and Ogres dominate azeroth with great empires on the continent. There is no alliance and horde, every classic race has their own zone. The big cities of the 3 great empires are places for trading and questing.
While this seems to be a peaceful timeline, the end of all things will still happen. As chromie states, all timeline would reach to that anchorpoint where azeroth itself gets corrupted and old gods roam the surface.
The only way to do anything is to go back to the future and somehow heal azeroth from the corruption before she wakes up.

Features:
-A whole new azeroth to explore in the past with new factions and quests, new dungeons, enemies and allies. These are exploration quests. Dragonriding will be possible here.
-The future that we can reach to cure azeroth, a playable zone, but with a timelimit. We can only play there one half hour a day, can be increased with certain items and abilities. Staying longer in the future and the player would get corrupted. The main quest plays here. With each major patch a new playable zone in the future will be added. Here we will also fight corrupted versions of people that we know.
-New starting zones for all races, 3 new playable races, naga, tuskarr, ogres
-5 raids where we will face old gods. Some of them are 1-2 boss raids.
-No alliance and horde, all players can trade and play with eachother. Those who wish to pvp can do so with warmode.
-professions are expanded on, new features and possibilies

come on man...a little creativity goes a long way

Orc armor is fine, i guess, definitely reminiscent of orcish grunt's aesthetic. But I'd rather see more red. Hell, I'd rather see something similar to Doomhammer's armor since we already have a lot of grunts sets. Both Doomhammer and Lothar deserve more recognition in lore.

Seconded on both counts. I figure that a "WarCraft II revival" aesthetic would be a rather nice thing to see pop up here and there, especially in connection to the Orcs and Humans, since WarCraft II was the last time they were exclusively in the spotlight and the story wholly orbited them.

[Gurahk]

I still don't get why people call it grunt armor. Do people think all orcish armors are "grunt armor"? The set looks like some kind of gladiator.

[AOL Instant Messenger]

One thing I will say is that I am a little disappointed in the lack of class versatility in the Human heritage armor. I'd frankly have preferred something more akin to a Stormwind-themed version of the Kul Tiran heritage armor, or maybe Anduin's Legion-era clothing with a bit of plating added. The Human heritage armor looks pretty terribly unsuited for any class except Warriors and Hunters. Something like the former suggestions would be more suitable for any class to wear.

[Nyel]

But does that have to be player power? Artifacts are ultimately just another iLvl, another set of talents.

Player power? Not necessarily. It helps though. That's why WoW is in dire need of a horizontal progression system - something that should have been implemented a decade ago, at the latest with Legion instead of "borrowed power".

It's obvious that while Dragonflight does a lot of things right, it's a very boring expansion as of now.

Blizzard did state that there were other stuff for the Heritage Armor that wouldn't be shown until later, so I imagine at least a robe option for both, and maybe a different helm for Humans and a version of the Orc one that isn't bare-chested.

It's more of a Warlord / Chieftain set. Clear inspiration from this, among other retro visuals:

Another TCG item drop (toy) from twitch drop. I start to believe we will get Spectral Tiger for 20th anniversary/11.0 launch.

Obvious to who? This is the first expansion in a long time I've actually taken seriously, and I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one.

Good, maybe then salt prices will drop a bit.

[Hellspawn]

Pre Sundering time travel expansion would be poggers.
But World Revamp expansion would be still my favorite.

Oh, it's just his thing to constantly shit on the game. But this time he was actually forced to make stuff up.

They are already giving out the HD version with the trading post, there is literally 0 reason why anyone would need the classic spectral tiger besides wanting other peoples mounts being devalued.

It doesn't really look like the spectral tiger imo.

It's literally a spectral tiger at night. The armour is different, but the tiger underneath is a HD version of the spectral tiger ^^

I don’t care about either tiger but some times lower quality mounts can look better to some people, I personally think the old Rams are better then the HD Stormpike one same with the ebon and snowy gryphon which I always use over the HD ones.

[Chickat]

I have a feeling that some of 10.0.7 and 10.1 will be influenced by what fans really liked at launch, such as characters and mounts. Anyone have ideas on what fan-favorites will show up?

I think the big Bakar and a bakar mount are pretty much guaranteed.

Eh maybe 10.1, but I feel lik .5 and .7 were nearly done by launch.

If you look at it with a glance I do get flashbacks from warcraft 3 grunts or wolfriders, but that has probably to do with having one shoulder and a belt that has some furr.

It looks quite generic and very close to the maghar armor which isnt weird, but they could have done more. Thralls old armor with a twist would have been cool imo.
