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

[Ferlion]

The worgen refugees lived with the Night Elves. I assume they would move in with the Night Elves until Gilneas is retaken.

Agreed, but pretty much all Worgen are MIA at the Dream zone. Even with Goldrinn there!

[Shadowferal]

danuser said they wanted the retaking of gilneas be something important. this is either a spoiler for one of the next patches or the next expansion

Interesting:
"In Patch 10.2 it looks like the Night Elf & Worgen refugees have left Stormwind."

I'm pretty sure, unless it's been changed, that pretty much all Night Elves are MIA as well. We saw some NE people setting up a camp, but nothing on the scale of a city.

With that being said, I haven't seen anything indicating the actual city is being established, just some Elves setting up inside the Emerald Dream. I didn't think the city would be established this patch, so it could be a think for 10.2 that we haven't seen yet, as well as a 10.2.5 thing.

[Cheezits]

Maybe 10.2.5 has an unofficial Worgen Heritage Quest 2 where they reclaim Gilneas? Kind of like the Forsaken one, where both factions help.

It's definitely possible its a big questing thing for 10.2.5, but I was thinking the final tree might pop out in Ohnaran Plains after you beat the raid.

I do think removing the refugees from Stormwind in 10.2-2.5 is a near instakill for the "Revamped old world" theory. No reason to remove them now.

[Dismayxz]

What a tragedy, best selling game Blizzard has ever made. Do you have your own opinions or just parroting what's hip and cool?

It's so so so far away from a financial tragedy.

But it's certainly a fucking Gameplay catastrophy.

Now ask yourself which one's more important to whom. To Blizzard, it's great. To Players,..

(Personal input? I know more people that gave up the D4 Season for the new D3 Season. Doesn't say much though, in the grand scheme of 'everyone'.)

Forsaken moved immediately for their quest in Shadowlands. It's just a small moment for fans: if they get their tree back in a patch, no reason not to move them immediately.

This means only one thing - they will create a new organization called the Dark Crusade and start annihilating the Forsaken. They will get the support of the Scarlets. Calia will gain the support of the Blood Elves and the final bloody war will begin. This would be the case in old WoW.

I wonder if there's plans for frequent returns to Dragon Isles/Ohnaran Plains in 11.0 if Iridikron and the Aspects remain prominent characters.

The Windtotem new village in the Plains was a really interesting sideplot to me, I wonder what becomes of it along with Amirdrassil.

[Revamp Man]

The chinese guy who predicted the last couple expansions also said 11.0 will be about Elemental Lords

Last couple? Try last 5

I think it will be used for some kind of daily thing to obtain the Ba'kar mounts, but it would be interesting if it is used more often than that.

i think blizzard cares about both. diablo 4 is a live service and was supposed to last years. losing so many players only 2 months after the launch wasn't something blizzard wanted. not after the ow2 fiasco

[Teriz]

It is possible that the theory that after MOP we have two exp related to the first three expansions is true. The first exp revives the theme and the second ends it. WOD resurrected BC and Legion ended it. BFA revived WOTLK and SL ended it. DL resurrected Cat, and 11.0 will end it. Then elementals are a logical motif, just like the Azeroth revamp for WoW's 20th anniversary. 12.0 may either be MOP-themed or will return to the Burning Legion theme again, as 12.0 will be released on the 10th anniversary of Legion and the 20th anniversary of BC.

Just tossing this out there; If 11.0 is the conclusion of the cataclysm storyline, that could mean a resolution to Goblin and Worgen stories as well, where Goblins revitalize Kezan and we venture to Undermine, and Worgen return to Gilneas. Goblins and Worgen were both introduced in Cataclysm as refugees fleeing their homelands.

That would be the justification for having Undermine as part of the expansion, and explain the underground aspect that Toweliee was talking about.

Found this on 4Chan.

I find it kinda funny that the last class to come to all classes would be Shaman in an expansion with so much elemental shenanigans going on. Blizz really does not like that class, do they?

It is also possible, that Thrall together with the shamans and elementals, will restore Azeroth to its pre-Cataclysm state.

Shamans are more likely than druids in DF itself. Besides a slight hint of Pandaren druids, there is no Druids for All stuff in the Dream patch, files, or story itself.

[DiscipleofCazicThule]

Whoever calls Diablo 4 the biggest flop in gaming has not been paying attention to gaming this year.

[Teriz]

Yep, and I also think that Thrall along with the elements are going to restore the world soul.

I think your theory makes a ton of sense. Kudos!

Welp, I guess thats it for me, I have no interest in the prospect of this, enjoy your game y'all im out.
