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

[Worldshaper]

This.

10.2 is releasing in the first two weeks of November unless something goes really wrong.

That would put 10.2.5 at late January in a worst case scenario.

10.2.7 then would be, at the latest, in the first week of April.

Then we could have a 10.3 in late June or early July, but as 10.3 seems really unlikely, we might get a 10.2.9 or something like that, because I doubt that 11.0 is releasing before the date of the anniversary.

I think there's a fair chance 11.0 is released late summer, with the anniversary being a special event. Perhaps the world revamp is even kept for that date, who knows. As long as something significant happens around then, which re-invents and pays homage to the franchise, then we're good.

that sounds incredibly dumb. 2 expansions of wait for this neew tree only to throw it in the trash lmao

The entire affair was dumb to begin with. They took something nice away for the sake of an awful story, took forever to resolve it and then presented us with a lacklustre resolution. At this point, I don't mind if they scrap it and just boost Nordrassil instead. But they probably won't.

But surely that would be true regardless. All glad mounts used to be recolours remember, and they used to be datamined all in one chunk.

I just think a straight recolor of an old glad mount fits well in the fated season framework.

The Tanaris Goblin set is one thing, but there's also new mechanical whelps with Gallywix top hats.

Looking at the map for the Emerald Dream got me confused, why are the buildings and temples? Wasn't the whole gimmick of the Emerald Dream that its a copy of Azeroth that looks like it was never touched by civilization?

It is supposed to be, but it's also always had signs of interference in it. The statues for one.

Did we have those statues in game? I remember seeing them on the unfinished Emerald Dream version that never made it into the game, but I don't know if there are any that are canonically ingame

They are in the Emerald Dream portion from the Emerald Nightmare raid. The same area that has been used for whenever we go back to the Emerald Dream proper.

Yeah, there are statues in the Emerald Nightmare final zone after Xavius.

[Phunkle]

I see, I guess that makes sense then. Well, maybe it turns out not so bad ingame

[Worldshaper]

It might have been discussed already. But last night they said that the Eye of Ysera is the figurative middle of the Dream. It seems like it's been retconned from being an actual place or capital city into sort of... where her attention is right now, and where the Dream needs her the most. Which right now is Amirdrassil.

So the section of the Emerald Dream we're visiting isn't anything special, until Amirdrassil got planted there, as far as I understand it. Presumably, there is a literal middle of the Dream out there somewhere, where it is even more potent?

Remember how blizz said they want sepulcher to be a 2 final boss raid?

I'm thinking Fyrakk is "anduin"...

Then in 10.2.5 we're going to get an extra mini raid with 2 or 3 bosses with a titanic theme. Either tyr or Odyn as final boss. My guess is Odyn.

Then 2.7 will close out the exp and 11.0 Release in aug

That whole Tanaris Wastelands set… what if it’s a hint of the direction they’re going to revamp Tanaris? Something à la Madmax?

They should greatly expand Gadgetzan and have it be a more city focused zone. It's a goblin city, there should be enough room for rampant crime and Mafia to provide enemies to deal with.

I'm not really one to look into sets much at this point if only because of the trading post and other stuff.

Like I was figuring those three-piece class transmog were from some Mage Tower 2.0 thing but nope.

Absolutely, going the Hearthstone way would be fantastic

I think it's more about how Tanaris has never been themed like that before.

Also I feel they would go more Borderlands in a Tanaris 2.0 zone instead of just Mean Streets of Gadgetzan because they don't seem interested in doing city zones anymore. I could see it being as big as Boralus though.

I think it’s not random though. All these are echoing classic Azeroth styles and characters… as if they will be used later on NPCs or something. Like the Scarlet Crusade set for example, that is so oddly specific imo
