Next WoW Expansion Will Not Be Pirate Themed

Recommended Posts

Clipboard01.jpg

Speculation has already been going on about 11.0 for a while, and one of the rumors was the old "South Seas expansion" chestnut. With a few model revamps and recent transmog packs, some in the community thought a naval theme was on the horizon for WoW. However, Blizzard President Mike Ybarra put a pretty definitive stop to that particular idea, or at least a part of it. 

 

It would be very strange to not have pirates in a naval-themed expansion, but not necessarily impossible either. But for now it seems 11.0 won't be the South Seas expansion, or at the very least a weird pirate-less version of it!

I feel like we got a soft pirate theme during Battle for Azeroth. If it was going to be an expansion I'm sure they would have saved Kul Tirans for it.

next expansion, not next patch. 😅

Maybe we could go "back to Azeroth" in the emerald dream, as the next patch zone is already an Emerald Dream version of the zone on the left of Ohn'ahran Plains (With less water).

Yeah the kul tiran plot had all the pirates we need for at least 10 years.  

They had clear indications of a void/light expansion but I wonder if Shadowland's awful reception and Dragonflight's positive one have them rethinking that.    Wouldn't surprise me if we had something like Pandaria or something.    Maybe the primalists get the elements stirred up enough to bring a long sunken mass of land back to the surface or something.

      We're taking a look at high definition Ahn'Qiraj Scarab robes coming to the Trading Post with Patch 10.2!
      So far, it appears there's only one in-game item tied to the of the new appearances -- Gossamer Desert Gown, which costs 100 Trader's Tender.

      However, LeystTV captured all the new appearances in the following short video.

      Gilnean and Darnassian refugees are now gone from Stormwind.
      As you probably remember, Sylvanas burned down Teldrassil causing a massive influx of refugees in Stormwind 5 years ago.
      Reddit user yuvalal spotted there are no longer refugees present in Stormwind on the 10.2 PTR, which makes perfect sense now that Night Elves have Amirdrassil. The Forsaken have also withdrawn from Gilneas.

      I've looked on the 10.1.7 PTR and saw no signs of refugees either, so maybe they have been removed even before Patch 10.2.

      There are no longer any refugees or giant trees (Ancient Ones) at Stormwind Docks either on the 10.1.7 PTR.

      Here's a preview of all maps from the new Amirdrassil raid coming in the Guardians of the Dream update.
      Main Raid Map
      This appears to be the raid's main zone map.

      The raid has multiple boss rooms and houses a total of 9 bosses. You will find all boss rooms below.

      We're looking at the Mythic+ Tier List for the fourth week of Patch 10.1.7. Check out how your spec's doing!
      DISCLAIMER
      The following post is based on data from our sister site U.GG, which combines thousands of parses from live servers. Therefore, the data presented here may differ from Petko's Mythic Tier Lists maintained on our site.
      How the Data is Calculated
      U.gg's tier list is created by evaluating damage and healing scores from the very best players and factoring in the frequency of each spec's appearances in the highest rankings of the current Mythic+ season. The tier list of each spec is determined by its effectiveness and prevalence at the highest levels of Mythic+ play.
      Mythic+ Tier List for Patch 10.1.7 Week 4
      This week's affixes are: Tyrannical, Storming, Raging.
      Healer Tier List
      S-Tier Holy Paladin A-Tier: Discipline Priest Restoration Shaman B-Tier: Mistweaver Monk Holy Priest Restoration Druid C-Tier: Preservation Evoker
      Tank Tier List
      S-Tier: Guardian Druid A-Tier: Blood Death Knight B-Tier: Brewmaster Monk Vengeance Demon Hunter Protection Paladin C-Tier: Protection Warrior
      DPS Tier List
      S-Tier: Augmentation Evoker Shadow Priest Fire Mage A-Tier: Retribution Paladin Fury Warrior Enhancement Shaman Beast Mastery Hunter Balance Druid Subtlety Rogue Frost Mage Destruction Warlock B-Tier: Arcane Mage Outlaw Rogue Windwalker Monk Feral Druid Arms Warrior Havoc Demon Hunter Frost Death Knight Survival Hunter Elemental Shaman Devastation Evoker (up from C-Tier) C-Tier: Affliction Warlock (down from B-Tier) Marksmanship Hunter Demonology Warlock  Unholy Death Knight Assassination Rogue

      Blazing Drake, Experiment 12-B, Lifebinder's Handmaiden, Flametalon of Alysrazor, Smoldering Egg of Millagazor, and Infinite Timereaver all have a chance to drop from this week's Cataclysm Timewalking Cache!
      UPDATE: The cache isn't limited to Experiment 12-B as previously reported in this post. Thanls to @Cheatcho for clarifying.
      Multiple Cataclysm mounts have a chance to drop from this week's Timewalking Cache!
      So far, we've seen Ashes of Al'ar drop from the Burning Crusade Timewalking Cache, Invincible from the Wrath Cache, and now, Experiment 12-B has dropped from the Firelands Cache during Cataclysm Timewalking!
      In addition to Experiment 12-B, we've seen reports of Blazing Drake, Lifebinder's Handmaiden, Flametalon of Alysrazor, Smoldering Egg of Millagazor, and Infinite Timereaver found inside the cache.

      The mount has an extremely low chance to drop from Ultraxion in Dragon Soul.
