Bring on the pirates!

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

That's just a recolor of the set from the first trading post, which was already "Swashbuckling Bucaneer's Slops"

[Sondrelk]

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

It does give the impression the devs are offloading assets they won't be using elsewhere. It's not like Dragonflight was preluded by giving five different dragon mounts and the entire suite of Dragon themed open world sets.

This. Previous expansions have been evidenced by like a single item on a single tier's loot table, or one mount, or a few random NPCs, not a half a dozen vanity items.

I think the devs are having some fun and this isn't a coordinated effort to tell the playerbase that the next expansion is Pirates of Plunder Isle.

[micwini]

Adding the remaining islands that have been mentioned since beginning of time would be a perfect addition to a revamped world.

Thats where I'm at. It would be too obvious if it was sailor/pirate themed. The adding of old rares and elites that got removed in Cataclysm is probably the biggest "WAT"

Yeah, if anything I think it's just hinting something like this.

[Ersula]

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

I think we're all happy its an entirely new if not tangential organization rather than just extending the Silver Hand to everybody. We now know "Paladins for everyone" as a completely surprise patch feature is something they'd do (per the surprise dark ranger customization & the surprise legendary questline) but it would be wild for them to do that in the same patch that features the return of the Fire Druids & Emerald Dream.

Wowhead's trading post datamining has a Kirin Tor staff that isn't part of the trading post this month. Maybe something in the next patch?

Khadgar having a purpose finally?

Kinda looks like the Kirin Tor skin of Aluneth that went unused, but repurposed. (edit: upon comparing it not super similar after all)

Still salty we got that sheep staff but not the Kirin Tor skin. Bleh.

edit 2: Also continuing off the twitter link for the Aluneth alt skin that never got used, never realized that holy priest artifact was a mace originally.

Very excited to talk with everyone about the 10.1.7 stuff next week!

[Ersula]

So they said we'd be able to tell who the final boss would be early on

Sadly it's the incarnates and not one of the better threats

I noticed how you said better threats rather than bigger threats because 150,000+ year old dragons equaled only by the titans & old gods are a pretty big threat. Plue I don't know what you mean by better threats because the Old Gods never actually pose much of a threat since their plans usually involve popping up, causing some nightmares & then dying. Big overture, little show.

A truce amongst the Bronze & Infinite?? Wouldn't that mean allowing a multiverse to exist? Is that the pop culture trend they're going to mine for 11.0? WoW Multiverse of Madness?

[Kiivar86]

Safe to say we're finally in the leadup to the next expansion based on everyone and their mother posting supposed leaks, both obvious parodies and supposed real ones.

something tells me were finally gonna see Eternus reappear.

[Catastrophy349]

Yeah, I am SO excited for these 10.1.7 quests (all of them). Notably, you must complete the "No Limits" quests, first, before moving on to the new "part 3" of Tyr stuff.

Two questions to ponder:

1). What "unexpected adventure" will Nozdormu go on?
2). Where will we need to go to find the "lost disc?"

[Chickat]

Agreed, especially number 2. Even during SL, people never really stopped farming Korthia rares. They were also mostly soloable. Zaralek rares are just a bit much. The elite area is also a bit over the top. Even with 440+ gear you still get smoked by those elites because of their ludicrous abilities.

- - - Updated - - -



The thing about Sabellian has nothing to do with 'kinda sus'. It is just very bad writing. They were both going back and forth between resentment and praise towards eachother constantly.

Imo they need to make rares scale from 1-20 players or so. 1 player can solo but it would be a little hard. I would rather the rares have telegraphed mechanics that take 60% of my hp but are avoidable than a rare that takes 3 mins to kill.

Make rares have like 2m hp in a current zone based on current stats so they die within a minute.
Make their white hits hit like noodles.
Give them a few telegraphed abilities to dodge that will kill you if you dont pay attention.

Makes the rares soloable and more fun tbh.


Then when a new zone comes out nerf all the rares to be super easy as their gear if not relevant any longer.

IE all rares have 1m hp and dont hit very hard in Forbidden Reach for example if they were to do that today.

Two questions to ponder:

1). What "unexpected adventure" will Nozdormu go on?
2). Where will we need to go to find the "lost disc?"

The answer to both is "an alternate timeline" multiverses lets go

[Foolicious]

2). Where will we need to go to find the "lost disc?"

Wasn't there a Black empire szenario datamined for 10.1.7?

Just think about what the old gods could have done if they got their hands on the memories of tyr. Turning dragons into decay monsters? Driving Aspects mad? Turning titanforged into fleshy beings? Weakening their prisons? Would be interesting if most of what the old gods did came down to the infinites supplying them with first hand informations.

But realistically? Its a chromie quest, so i am prepared to see some stupid "fun" quest.

Possibly very far back in time. Maybe another close to Galakrond visit...or the Black Empire era for the disc. With Nozdormu well at first I would think non infinite dragonflight but.... if the infinites are involved again, more murozond shennigans. Possibly Murozond may STILL be inevitable or consequences via Chromie's actions.


Probably all wrong I guess.

[Le Conceptuel]

A truce amongst the Bronze & Infinite??

That would be an interesting way to continue that particular story arc, but I do hope the truce remains temporary. It's good to have relatively sympathetic antagonists for the long haul; best not to repeat the mistakes of the human heritage questline.

On the other hand, they do have a substantial number of Valdrakken assets already, which may mean any objections will be for naught.
