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

[Auxis]

do you have an extract of this passage? i don't remember it

At the end of the Mag'har recruitment quest, when you land back in Durotar from the portal, you see several botani, saberon, and I think some magnaron running towards the Barrens.

In this vid @ approx. 24:29 you see black saberon running along the mountains past the elementals. And when the camera pans more to the left, you see botani running past a tree. The saberon could be considered enough to start a breeding population as ingame doesn't accurate reflect lore - they are apex, sentient predators. If they have the correct amount to start a population then they could be an issue. The botani are a far worse issue. They could quite easily use the overgrowth in the barrens to start their own Everbloom.

Why forget? It wont make the expansion go away, it's story and characters are integral to WoW universe. And Yrell shows nicely how good intentions and zeal can easily turn into evil fanaticism under bad influence. Y'all should really stop treating certain moments of the game like they deeply scarred you. It's childish and you wont achieve anything.

Forget is an extreme without a doubt, but I view it from a story investment standpoint. I am not scared that they would bring them back. I argue if its worth investing into the WoD characters and bringing them back into a mainline story. You can only have so many characters on your screen and involved into a story. Right now, everyone in WoD is in a bubble. I do think Yrel showing off the extreme of the light is interesting.

If you say so. With Metzen's return this might be prophetic.

Buddy, you're not gonna like this, but all the cosmic stuff was Metzen's idea. That stuff started in TBC. He wrote Chronicles and made the cosmic alignment chart

He's the man with plans

People hate WoD so bad yet cream themselves at anything Knaak related.

Disliking the story of WoD is just you hating on the expansion because of it's gameplay

Exactly that.

We don't really have an light antagonist in our timeline. That ship sailed when illidan offed Xera.

All we have left is the scarlet's and they ain't enough to carry the light part of a LvD exp.

So Yrel being set up as that is perfect, now more than ever after the events of dawn

I have this backwards.

From a narrative perspective the story was very dumb--one legion all realities makes no sense. Why are Mannoroth and Kil'jaeden trying to reenact a plan they already know failed? What is their goal, attack a more united and more fortified Azeroth with the same force that failed last time?

As a mythic raider, the raids were incredibly good

You may be overstating the level of change from this. While it's probably a change for the better, it's not likely to reshape everything fundamentally.

Some really nice things lining up for Trading Post based on data mining. Love the troll shield but that dwarven axe?? *chefs kiss* I just hope it's that gold colour that wowhead showcases in the article and not the red-bronze colour the model actually seems to have

Also, Stormrider cosmetics including a hammer arsenal. I hope they do the hammers justice.

- - - Updated - - -

Also, changing Hunters Mark in ptr to make it a raid buff of sorts. 5% increased damage to marked target above 80% health. Nice to have a damage component to it again and not just for vanity/class identity purposes.

Wait... is that an ice elemental mount at the bottom right?

That "Play 10.2" is weird ...

And that mount tho !! :O

[FenixAU]

That 'new content' for Classic..

Hmm.

[Worldshaper]

I was just about to ask... is that some kind of Elune/Avaloren/Moon elemental or something?

[Selorian]

"Play upcoming content for Dragonflight and Classic" is odd wording. If it's just 10.2 stuff, we can... already do that on PTR. So is it 10.3? Because if it's 11.0, why would they say Dragonflight

[ZyntosAran]

Honestly.
That "play upcoming content from dragonflight" makes me think if there is even a addon being announced for retail.

It's not like everyone knows that they'll announce 11.0, so we won't care about 10.2 at that time

I guess the kiosk/blizzcon demo mode being changed to Emerald Dream on PTR wasn't just a placeholder and they'll be showing off 10.2.x on the demo floor (and surely 11.0... right?).

[PaladinBash]

I assume the ice elemental mount is just a play on being a BLIZZARD mount. Wouldn't read too much into it.

[Krukus]

The way I see it - LvV in the South Seas (Avaloren?, Khaz Algar?, Tel'Abim, Uldaz?), and at the same time there will be ongoing repair of Azeroth after the Cataclysm in which Thrall will take part. We are finishing the Cataclysm theme and at the same time we are starting the LvV war in earnest.

[Selorian]

It's not like everyone knows that they'll announce 11.0, so we won't care about 10.2 at that time

Why not say "Play upcoming content for World of Warcraft" then

idk maybe I am overthinking
