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

[CasualFilth]

It's out, though you pick it up in Stormwind or Orgrimmar, not Valdrakken.

We should bring back Pirate Swift.
@Shadochi Do your thing



Quest is at Stormwind keep, or somewhere in Org.

Thank you both, just done it <33

[Fahrad Wagner]

Holy fuck yeah. Ion is missing!

The train needs Shadowlands 2.0: Bald Man Boogaloo assets.

The next Bald Man's already there. Aman'Thul becomes a skinhead in the next expansion.

[Shadochi]

Fine.

One more update before bed.

is the pirate taylor swift in there for me?

Seems like they're sacrificing you for a bountiful reveal, going off the hype train image. I hope you're prepared to lay down your life for the prosperity of the speculation thread.

We are simply following orders. "no pirates", and we take that to heart!

Always hehe

There is no pirate swift. All reports of such are false and overstating reality. Please continue on your way.

[Cheezits]

Mike Ybarra will be the first person to edit a tweet with "No, pirates."

[Shadochi]

Mike has a personal vendetta on me seems like

[Mecheon]

Don't forget to add in the slightly suspect fact that a lot of the recent revamps/additions are all machines, plus they gave out the mecha-dragon mount to content creators to give out to people

Just saying, the various tanks and siege enignes (Including that WoD-era Dark Iron one) being done up before, say, a tree, is pointing a slightly different way than a revamp (or just wanting that dark iron tank on there given its the most recent model being revamped)

Spoilers for the secret event ending, mildly suspicious to see all those things mingled.

Also this dialogue suggests they were working for the Incarnates. Hmm!

Im back once again, what is the consensus on expac announcement on blizzcon, or a stream in april like for DF?

Hey welcome back!

Part of me thinks its finally the revamp, but also we just had a grounded azeroth expansion so it could also make sense to do something cosmic before returning to Azeroth in 12.0.

It reminds me of the whole "progenitor race" where known races pulled and adapted their language from (good ol' archeological trope we see in movies). Is it possible that this is what were looking at? An original force before it seperated into the 6 we know today?

Either way oddly specific that it's those three they picked

[Chickat]

How would everyone feel if we got a small 3 zone continent for a quick leveling experience. Maybe slightly larger than Kultiras or Zandalar.

A lot of end game content being in the revamped Azeroth EK and Kal.

First major patch sends us to Karesh or some other planet, but that planet will be used for 2-3 patches.


So 11.0. World Revamp and Small continent for leveling.
11.0.5/0.7 void invasions.
11.1- We go to Karesh. Its an Outland style continent/planet but only 1 zone is accessible during 11.1.
11.1.5 all the way through 11.3 opens up new parts of the planet before we unlock it all in the final patch.


Basically the 100% brand new areas in 11.0 are pretty small, but lots of end game content added to the new revamped world to compensate.

Patches take us to a new place and we slowly unlock the entire landmass over patches.

This makes sense to me. The Titans, the Legion (started by a Titan) and the Old Gods are the forces that had the biggest obsession with Azeroth.

Maybe this is foreshadowing what's going on with the Avaloren Heretics?

[Chickat]

Keep in mind the actual anniversary is NEXT year, not this year.

Yeah but anything relevant releasing for 11.0 would happen around the anniversary.

WoW and Diablo 4 expacs are certain, but of course we don't have direct confirmation (we have undirect though, Ybarra on twitter said Metzen will tell us about WoW future and yearly expansions for Diablo 4 were confirmed).

Less interesting, but still obvious are Cata Classic and Hearthstone new stuff. I wonder how they want deal with WoTLK - make 4th iteration of Classic or remove it like TBC which would cause drama? Or maybe find a way to keep old world in Cata client and move all chars to 4.0? I would love that cause it would give hope to reintroduce old world to retail.

Overwatch 2 situation will be more interesting, I wonder what Blizzard will try to counter current disaster.

There is also new survival game, but it's unknown if it's advanced enough to reveal. If they plan to do yearly Blizzcons again, maybe they want all spotlight on that game on Blizzcon 2024.

I feel like expansions for Diablo will end up getting pushed back to every 1.5 years which is a little more palpable.

But I suppose thats not relevant to this thread. Not sure if we are allowed to discuss blizzcon at large in this thread.

[Kiivar86]

Maybe I'm reading too much into it but the "other such artifacts" makes me very curious.

Also lol cosmic artifacts yeah it ain't going away.

[Chickat]

The explicit tease of the Broken make me think that a Character Creation Screen rehaul is due. Because three Draenei options on the screen is to look crazy (and I think they are too different to be barber shop).

Also, really hoping for new HD backgrounds for characters.

I feel like Borken/Krokul would be an allied race.

[Magistrate]

There is no reason why it can't be both.

Hell, it used to be both, before they decided a minimalist UI is the way for some reason.

It was not more immersive before lol
