Dragonflight 10.X Patches & World Soul Saga Speculation Thread

Sorry, I need all of it for myself to get through this.

This one hurts, friends. It hurts.

[Xilurm]

So, Thrall on the Blizzcon Keyart has a full render. Is that indicative of anything?

He's probably the protagonist of 11.0. You know, Khadgar style.

dwarf raid time

We've had air dwarves, earth dwarves and fire dwarves? Water dwarf raid /s (or maybe not)

[Cheezits]

Dwarves are Storm/Air themed... Jinyu are water themed... then you lose me with the supposed elemental ideas.

Ogres are rock? And then ???? for fire?

[Holdodlig]

I'm totally alright with a gigantic dwarven complex as an expansion.

but with more "YA GOT MY ATTENTION"

Time for Night Dwelves!

[Merryck]

What if it's a bait and switch and Blizzard implements Elder Scrolls "dwarves" that are actually a new flavor of Elf

[Reive]

Time for Night Dwelves!

the revamp train should be nuked and have dwarves dance around it

[Nymrohd]

Time for Night Dwelves!

Did you give a poor dwarf Night elf ears???

Reverse ES twist: Trolls (and thus Elves) are actually a type of Dwarf.

Or the train should just crash.

Yes.
Yes, i did!

I for one welcome our new comrades, the Dwarf'dorei.
Dwarfborne.
Children of the Dwarves.

KEEP IN MIND!

The continent is blocked by storms that NO ONE has ever crossed. So we become storm riders and dive right into the storm. Or we crash land kinda like Pandaria

we can do as you say, but i still want the dwarves around it

i want a scenario where you have to get through a huge storm with your dragonriding gryphon

[pacotaco]

There ya go.

Wait, Algarian Stormrider? Could that be the gryphon of that texture?

So does this mean that this leak has more truth to it than we realised?

Seems like that.

[Hitei]

This wasn't exactly what I had in mind as this is an entirely different part that's being leaky, and arguably more leaky than the stuff I had in mind/seen. I knew there were some Rumble related things as well as the dynamic flying mount, but definitely did not have these full names for them. The Storm Rider achievements are complete news to me.

Speaking of datamining and also the spooky gryphon. A while back I tried to use .tools to check the texture blp's for the dragonriding mounts (specifically Highland Drake and Renewed Proto, but all of them seem to do this) hoping to compare them to the gryphon's to confirm that the multiple beaks thing is, in fact, an indication of customization options for different beaks rather than just some weird leftover experimentation outside the mapped bounds of the texture.

But the dragonriding mounts all seem to lack an entry ("0") for their TextureVariationFileData.

Is that because they all have variable skins and pull from multiple texture files depending on what skin color/scale type/patterning you're using? I'm just curious if the dragonriding mounts also have like, a bunch of different snouts per blp.

Yeah that's what we're figuring.

I'm letting myself get hopeful with this idea of a very vertical city built into a narrow fissure. Would be a pain to traverse on foot but with flying mounts or dynamic flying...would be pretty neat.

I'm assuming you are looking at CreatureDisplayInfo which won't have much for those mounts as they are basically character models and using the character customization system. They do indeed combine various textures on top of their base textures based on what customization options are selected. You can look through the various ChrModel and ChrCustomization* DB2s (although do that on supported tools that have modern data) to tie all that together.
