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

[Cheezits]

What size of patch are people looking for? Argus? Nazjatar? I haven't felt a lack of things to do.

I get that people are tired of the invasion stuff but it's quite literally better than nothing.

It's a weird thought but I'm actually fine with less content in an expansion overall if they can keep this content cadence going.

I'd prefer more content and the cadence is usually a case of management and well generally world events not interfering with game devevelopment(2020).

The zone size(Forbidden reach not withstanding) is fine, its just the content within I think that matters(The Fyrakk Invasion stuff is fine but it could use a bit more but I'm digressing). I think for casual players everything works pretty well(In the stuff to do category when it comes to outdoor world content).

Edit: oops I went afk as I was mid writing this.

So are we all in agreement that all this pirate abundance means 11.0 isn't pirate themed

Not as far as I’m concerned. I’m fully expecting South Seas and pirates.

Either or. They were both brilliant patches of their respective expansions so one that is similar to those is more than fine by me.

11.0: the grand seas

Nightsquall has been captured and during his public execution he revealed that his treasure was hidden among the most dangerous parts of the ocean. Upon hearing this more pirates took up a jolly Roger and the dark forces of Azeroth also set their sights on it.

Sail to find his grand treasure and along the way gather members for your crew from outlaws to nobility.

NEW SHIPS:

Naval battles:

His grand treasure, the Singular Part?

[Cheezits]

Thrall will take a bite of the Zugzug fruit, rendering him unable to swim.

Joking aside I'd totally play it

"To a universe untouched by the First Ones"

Quite literally impossible unless a new Cosmology is made entirely. Besides, why is everyone so worked up on the First Ones? They themselves have no real presence in the Cosmic conflict.

Because blizz created them as the gods above all

People really think we're getting a pirate expansion when the end of BFA was less than three years ago?

BfA didn't really do all it could with a ocean themed expansion. And for that matter the expansion was definitely not exploration themed.

Kul tiras? Zandalar?

Nazjatar? Nzoth?

Island expeditions?

I mean I don't see how much more nautical you can get.

The only thing we were missing was a naval battle ship system

That's literally the most necessary part of anything pirate related. The next FFXIV expansion is doing everything BFA did & it's not having the gall to call itself a pirate expansion; It's a "tropical region" expansion.

Cata almost was ocean theme'd if they had done the Abyssal Maw raid... but thankfully didn't because given the reception that Vashj'ir gave, I don't think people would be interested in "underwater skipping" or underwater combat... which can work as a basic mechanic to overcome like with Kael'thas, but not as a whole fight.

I don't think a naval battle system is mandatory for a pirate/ nautical themed expansion. As awesome as it'd be, as long as the theme is there. Which it was with BFA.

[Zaganite]

I think its a distraction. Would they blatantly promote the expansion so much by literally giving away the theme with all the pirate stuff? We had diplomat, pirate and scholar (soon) mogs. Maybe its just the whole premise of what we do in most expansions? Make new friends (diplomat), learn about their ways and culture (scholar) and loot all their resources and treasures because whos going to stop us (pirate)

Two islands, an Old God and a formerly underwater realm that was exposed to open air when we went there. That's not exactly ocean themed. About the only thing N'zoth has to do with the ocean was his prison being underwater anyway.

Any copiummers for a 10.2 reveal todaY?

[Makabreska]

Ye, it ended less than 3 years ago. With an Old Gods raid. Azshara raid before that. And Horde vs Alliance raid before that. And then Old Gods once again. Pirates presence in BfA was tiny, half of a single starter zone and two dungeons.

[Truthlol]

would be nice but at this point it just has to be next week unless they announce some small part of it.

10.2 will release november 7th/8th if turbulent timeways indicates release date similarly to 10.1.

turbulent timeways ends oct 31/nov but the week after is just regular timewalking, same thing happened with 10.1 release
