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

[Nymrohd]

10.1.7 is LOADED with Story!

They are really moving the story in multiple patches. I guess this is a better option than just timegating everything.

Doesn't matter what Tyr is like when he wakes up, we are literally rebuilding a Paladin Order right now that represents across all of Azeroth.

Even if Tyr turns out to be a bad guy (which literally won't happen anyway), all you need to do is rename it from Tyr's Guard to something else.

True enough. After how they handled the Horde Priests I don't think they will whitewash everyone, but this may just be a coming together of all the Paladins as opposed to how it was handled in the past (Legion and Orcs as "Brothers" like the Alliance)

It says faithfully or near-faithfully restored. So they're coming from exactly where they previously came from, or close to it. I'm guessing they mean shit like the tiger fur dropping again or some of the rare transmog pieces off classic rares that never got moved forward to Cata having their rares put back.

So they may be bringing classic rares back to Cata EK/Kalimdor? That seems like a secretly huge deal.

Has anyone thought about the idea that Chromie‘s actions led to another timeline where Azeroth isn’t the only/most mightiest nascent titan soul and we will travel (for whatever) reason to that sister planet. Any implications on such a turn of events?

Not that big, something really bad might happen instead of Murozond's rise or its not related at all. We'll have to see.

The Reforging Tyr questline sounds like "Paladin for everyone" in 10.2, not gonna lie.

You may be right, yes. Also, they'll probably bring Shaman to everyone via the Primalists stuff (aka anyone can use the elements if trained for it or something along those lines). I can see them sowing the seed (pun intended) for future druid of any race in patch 10.2 too. "We need more druids to help us safeguard the Dream" kind of thing but I don't expect druid for any race to happen in 10.2, more likely later considering the time it takes to create all the assets.

I love they keep bringing back old items. My dream is one day they would just bring back old world and put it behind Caverns of Time portal. It could have shitty XP reward or not be updated for Chromie Time at all, I just want have opportunity to visit it any time without having to play Classic.

Also I hope for increased drop rate for many old recipes. For example Engineering googles from Sunwell, since there is achiev now to craft all of them.

All Druids might be a 10.2.5/7 thing. Would make the most sense, really.

10.1.7 is looking to be a pretty decent patch for those of us mostly interested in the lore.

Next will be the 10.2 announcement! Exciting times!

Who would lead though? Not sleepyhead.

Could be if they've been working on it for some time already

[Well Done Steak]

Oh man if we are getting open paladins for 10.2 I can't wait to see all the racial paladin mounts.

Holy spider for undead!

Holy llama for vulpera!

i still think they will never do druids for all races, expansion will be over before that, and next expansion they will drop this concept

[Ochinko]

While I agree with Syegfryed, I really want to see Goblin / Mechagnome / and so on mechanical druid forms. That just sounds amazing to me and would tempt me very hard into making the first druid in ten+ years of WoW

[Cheezits]

Looks like the blog post mentions variations of heritage armor, but I'm unsure why they wouldn't market it if this was true.

More pirate stuff. It does not stop. 11.0 confirmed?

[Raetary]

They are really pushing quite a lot of pirate stuff.

[milkmustache]

These Bucaneer transmog sets were some of the first datamined from the Trading Post if I remember correctly, but man are they pushing the pirate/seafaring idea hard.

[micwini]

Skipping MoP, WoD, Legion and just going straight for BFA 2.0

This is starting to have the opposite effect for me. It's waaaay to on the nose. Feels like they're trying to divert is from the actual theme

[TheramoreIsTheBomb]

Skinny Kul'tirans when

[Darkarath]

Yeah, everything is about pirates and sea... Suspicious.

What if after dealing with Fyrakk, we follow Vyranoth to wherever Iridikron is? For example, Avaloren. We go to an island next to the continent itself that would be 11.0. We contact the Nightsquall to lead us there. We deal with a raid of heretics to introduce them, while finding a way of overcome their defensive systems. We establish a base in this island just to prepare for 11.0.
