[SPECULATIONS][FEATURES][NEXT EXPAC] Argus Titans Lifghting the Path.

[vertigo12]

Introduction

With 7.3 now on PTR and Antorus,The Burning Throne running schedules for test play; dungeon journal shows that yes, the once unseen Pantheon will make their debut! Would it be possible that the old scrapped glyph feature called PATH OF THE TITANS and the Glyph system as a whole, which somehow been removed in Legion as well, will make its way as one of the "future feature" in upcoming next expac?

I. Revisiting Path of the Titans:What is it?

- Glyph centric feature
- Specialized effects based on a chosen Pantheon:so far 5 are available sans Sargeras.
- Here's an old post in mmo-c discussing about our topic : http://www.mmo-champion.com/threads/...ch-Blue-posts/
- scrapped as a feature and replaced by Prime glyphs. As of Patch 7.0.3 Glyph panel has been removed!
- Here is an existing thread created in Blizz forums unfortunately it didn't have much attention: https://us.battle.net/forums/en/wow/topic/20757446360
Using a well discussed and debated NPC quoteIl'gynoth, The Heart of Corruption

*"Five keys to open our way. Five torches to light our path

Does it means aside from the lore content the said torches are the Titan themselves and the 5 keys, which are the Pillars of creation, used for breaching Tomb of Sargeras as it is a portal or door used by the Burning Legion and the way to Argus, an improved PoT should finally be put to good use?

Titan souls as sparks and orbs of flame that torches up!

The Pillars of creation are relics fashioned after one of the titan Pantheon except the Tears of Elune. After the events of Legion it would definitely lead to a story that the Legion portal in Tomb of Sargeras is now closed, for now.

It would somehow go to the hands of the Pantheon themselves and would probably given to the hands of the titan forged Keepers for safe keeping but one relic is in danger of being taken possession of another enemy, the Tidestone of Golgonneth.

Right now in WoW:Legion Aegis of Aggramar hits forefront in the ingame storyline and lore.

Aside from that there is this road coming from Ulduar going south and into the Seas! Would there be a connection to the follow up story progression connected to Return to Argus Patch and after as well as the Cataclysm raid Dragon Soul? Is there a chance wecan unravel exactly where this Path of the Titans lead to and would it be the Prison of N'Zoth?
What can you guys say? Speculate right away!

There is no logic in anything you wrote there.

[Highlord Hanibuhl]

What... how did you get from all that information to that weird conclusion?

And no, I believe, as many others also think, that the 5 keys refer to the 5 pillars of creation.

Path of the Titans was removed for a good reason. Since then, they've tried to build upon those ideas with artifacts and in 7.3 a little more on that.

There is no need to argue about the keys being the Pillar of Creation. What I am talking about is the torches mentioned on the second sentence. The line should say: "The keys and torches..." if it basically and semantically the same thing.

The good reason not to use it back then is it wasn't meant to be used back then. The only timing left for it to be used is no other than as a future feature.

The artifacts system is based on the PoT system which was scrapped before as it just seemed like extra talents.

On the speculation topic - would be interesting to find out how Azsharas role unfolds.

[vertigo12]

Artifact system is mostly based on the old talent tree system. If you made it into a flow chart it would just basically be a talent tree.

Blizz downplayed Glyph system along the expansion as before there has been major developements upon it, implementation of Major/Minor glyph and effects but now somehow artifact trait somewhat ressemble it with minor and major traits. Trait though are basically new spell and effect.

What the actual fuck

This title is like what they put in for porn movies.

I wouldn't be surprised if the next iteration of the Artifact traits was called Path of the Titans, but i doubt it will have much if anything to do with the idea they had for WotLK.

This is probably the wildest speculation I've ever seen that jumps around like the Hulk. No.

I think you actually might be onto something with glyphs having been removed recently. Reminds me of how Survival and Demo got gutted before HEAVY reworks for Legion.

The thing is Glyph system has been existing since WotLK and with the advent of Legion it was somehow scrapped as well. Could this be a meaning that they are preparing it for something big and new? Inscription profession has also been affected pretty much as one way of profit is from glyphs.

You say gutted and heavy rework, I say more of organ transplant!

They aren't the only one affected so much. I think primarily scribes are afted atleast Vantus runes was included ingame so inscription wouldn't end up as dead profession. Glyphs before work hand in hand and operates with the then talents as they have a major part in spell function and or rotation.

[QUESTION][INQUIRY][NO REALLY WHAT]Why do you feel the need to format things like this?

I'd get just "[Speculation]" without the other two, but this makes it look like a low-effort clickbait youtube video.

Not sure if that can still be done as I tried changig the thread topic name but doesn't update at the GF list. Need mod's intervention.

Aside from that what is your insight about the topic?

No, no,no... It has nothing to do with Gels and Titans nor about enlargement. Improving something, yes and no flesh along with light associated with porn please. Let's keep the topic within WoW context.

And ehem, seems like you're a regular porn site visitor with all these porn association...Hmmmm.

[In Ogres We Trust]

Path of the Titans... yes, it could make a comeback.
The Pantheon will be confined.
No clue about the rest.

[Nyel]

Well, we really don't know if the five keys / five torches are the Pillars of Creation or the five Titan Watchers (Mimiron, Hodir, Thorim, Freya and Odyn) - imho it could be both and both would make sense. Odyn hints that he wants to return to Ulduar resulting in all of the five Watchers being together once again there. And who knows what's been hiding in Ulduar all these years? (I still think Ulduar is one of the greatest achievements of Blizzard's game design - it's mysterious, it's massive, it's super interesting and everything about it is just great)

It really doesn't matter much, I think in every version of events it's hinting towards N'zoth's prison and his release.

About the Path of Titans feature... some weeks ago I also guesstimated that this could be the new progression mechanic in the upcoming expansion. With artifact weapons going away we need another intriguing system that lets us develop our character through the expansion. To leave artifact weapons and their talent trees behind would just feel like losing a big part of our character - Blizzard has to fill this gap with something similar upon which they can build for more than just one xpac. With all the Titan storylines in Legion I really see PotT as a possible new feature in the next expansion - I mean, what else should be implemented? New class? No. New specs? No. Either they are working on new trees reminiscent of the artifact trees or they're giving us something like Path of the Titans.

Thank you two for your own input and replies. As for the others, what are your thoughts?

Speaking of torches "that will light the path" here is what I was talking about in my OP. Image c/o icyveins.com

How about the others? Comments please

[zlygork]

This is not a critique, but I find it fascinating how people get so attached to simple titles that companies reveal without further info on them. To my knowledge, PoT was very similar to glyphs but with more numbers and less cosmetics, I guess? What is it, in your opinion, that would make path of the titans stand out? that you would have to chose one amongst many talent trees (knowing full well that two weeks into the beta we'll all be following a specific meta that destroys the illusion of choice)?

Super snip

In other words, you think lighting the void lords' path = jailing Sargeras? (as opposed to maybe that part where we created a super portal to argus, or when we closed the original portal at ToS). That could have some interesting implications, such as the BL having actually been a constructive force in the universe, successfully keeping the old gods in check. Yeah, sign me in.
