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

[Darkarath]

Looking at the roadmap again I noticed there wasn't any mention of BfA timewalking. I wonder if it would be a part of 8.2.5 or maybe they just didn't feel it was worth highlighting. Still I am hoping they give the BfA ARs the same treatment that the Legion ones got in 9.1.5



I'm not seeing it personally but maybe when the other versions of the armor are revealed it will be more apparent.

I think that when they include BfA timewalking they will also take the chance to look at timewalking as a whole. I expect some changes in how the whole system works for 10.1 or 10.2. Definitively we will see an iteration on it in DF.

... since Dragonflight was such a curveball in design philosophy...

I think this curveball in design philosophy was to try and cut 50% of the development budget without people noticing too much.

If the 50% cut out was formerly put toward developing convoluted interweaving systems that compromise the integrity of the entire experience, then by all means: chop away.

Yeah uhhhh thats a big fat no. No way.

One has to imagine. Legion Timewalking set a new standard for Timewalking as a whole with the return of the Mage Tower, and the ability to have Timewalking M+. And though both these features got made baseline outside Timewalking I still imagine BfA needs to at least have something similar.

Ion did mention in a very recent interview that they wanted to take a good look at timewalking in a future content, they liked the TW raids but as it stands right now not many people are doing them. They don't want the last season of an expansion to feature an older raid because some people would have to prog in a shorter time, and they want TW to be the substitute for that.

I learn new things about DF every day on this forum. Yep, clearly rushed. I guess all 6 patches this year must be rushed as well.

Devs came out and said it was rushed

Calm your tits I'm not saying the game is bad

Next update should include MoP TW raid which if it isn't ToT we riot.

lol no.

If they had any major cuts we would have heard about it from a ton of devs, hell we heard about a single classic dev being cut when he him self didn’t make it public.

Notes up!

The Balance of Power questline artifact appearance rewards are now account-wide. After unlocking the base appearance, the criteria for additional color variants (such as the Glory of the Legion Hero and Unleashed Monstrosities achievements) may be completed on any character to earn the appearances.

Sad to see that SoM experiment didn't work out. Would have been cool tho

Eh, they just want to stomp out all Classic fans so that they can move on to continue siphoning free cash from the retail crowd since they know no one has the IQ to spot the pattern of content delivery being same for the past 5 expansions without change or additions.

This is not very surprising, honestly. WoW is just a warchest for Activision Blizzard. It serves no other purpose.

Does this mean that if you did Balance of Power on one class you get the BoP appearance on all classes?

Sounds that way!

[Throren]

hope a build gets pushed out soon, I want to see new things!

[Foreign Exchange Ztudent]

Honestly just waiting for 10.1 at this point. Sucks we had two extra minor patches before the major patch PTR. I just want to see if there's any difference in Major Patch content wise.

If game is bad or not is subjective opinion.

But if game is rushed you have clear signs. DF was playable day 1, same with season 1 - of course there are always bugs, but let's say Legion that was like opposite of 'rushed' had ton of them as well. No zones or anything from reveal was cut. And most important, if expac is rushed, patch content is delayed. So no, if ex Blizzard dev will say that 1+1 is 4, I won't believe it either (didn't he also say that Wrath is rushed? which makes even less sense, it's basically ready content, Beta last like 2 months for these things).

So you prefer 5 months of nothing instead small patches? Well, that's basically killed SL good press.

EDIT: Balance of Power account wide! Now I wait only for account wide skin for 10 rated battlegrounds, so I finally will bother to do it on single character xD.

[Aeluron Lightsong]

Like a source for the so called "Yeah we rushed it" by devs. Otherwise its just words on the internet.

To be fair I always prefer the major content patches then the small ones. Not trolling or trying to be cynical.

I am honestly just looking to see if the Team is going to do anything creative and the First Major patch will be nice way to see if they will do anything creative or they will stick to the Content Island Spam shtick.

I don't really care, we don't have the Second Roadmap which answers questions that may have put confidence in me and other sceptics. It is obvious they intend to bury the expansion after Blizzcon 2023 and start hyping up the next expansion.

So I assume no datamining for now?
