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

[Santandame]

Depends on what metric you judge them on. Personally I found Maldraxxus to be the most interesting zone visually, even if it's difficult to live with for extended periods.
The idea of designing a zone like an RTS map worked out I found, not to mention it was probably the zone with the best integrated covenant rewards. None of the other teleportation networks can really hold a candle to the simple pleasure of the moving necropolis you could get to as a Necrolord.

I do think Maldraxxus gets an unfair wrap. Whilst I don’t think it’s as good as Ardenweald, I think it’s a lot better than Revendreth and Bastion. The story is a lot of fun and it has the novelty of the most previous well known Warcraft characters showing up. It’s easily accessible due to it being mostly flat and the the various Houses were cool visuals. I’d have liked to have seen more of the various Houses doing battle with each other throughout the zone but other than that it’s a zone that pretty much hit the mark on all it tried to achieve.

Honest question, what do you guys imagine Elune to look like? Night Elf? Troll? Entirely different entity?

What do you NOT want to see in 11.0?

Dragonflight 2.0 in a hidden continent with some Titan stuff, some void stuff, and a smattering of races pulled out of a hat to fill the space in the zones.

Not because Dragonflight was bad really, but rather because it would feel like a waste to spend an expansion on what would probably just feel like an extension of the expansion we played last.

Lol, easy I don't want to see any Underground or any sort of locked in area, claustrophobic

Some sort of celestial owl spirit, because why not :3

I like it.

I would go out of left field and have her be a giant crab or something. Why a crab? I don't know. Part of the mystery.

Fair. Nozdormu hugging gnome wasn't it.

Well not exactly

Lil' Maggz 19029 >>>> Possibly Magni, but could be someone/something else, Maybe even a magma creature

I'm missing the contradiction here.

Bastion was easily the weakest zone. It was propped up mainly by virtue of being the only bright zone until 9.2.
It doesn't do anything particularly interesting visually beyond using a nice pale yellow and blue colour palette.

Revendreth was at least interesting in that you don't get zones that are mostly urban. But even with that it didn't really feel lived in ironically.

I don't want to see the Titans tarnished anymore.

Darkspear trolls forgotten once again.

i hope she doesn't have a physical body
just some kind of cosmic cloud...

Based on this information I assume that LOST is your favorite tv series? x)

I actually really love the "concept" of an expansion related to storms. Could have many meanings, you know? Traveling through the storms via sky, traveling beyond the storms via sea, traveling underneath the storms via earth...

dragons, orcs, thrall, sylvanas, anduin, pandas, anything from shadowlands, green fire

A partial revamp. If we’re to get a revamp I want all or nothing. I’ll compromise for one continent done per expansion.

But an expansion that just focuses on a revamped Lordaeron and Quel’Thalas or Southern Kalimdor? No thank you. That would be extremely underwhelming.

I also don’t want it to be an elemental themed expansion but that’s more because of the obvious reason.

At this point I would be over the moon with:

- Full revamp
- South Seas
- Arthurian inspired Avaloren

I’d be happy with:

- Underdark
- Ancient Kalimdor
- Azeroth’s Moons

I’d be meh on:

- Nathreza
- K’aresh
- Yrel Lightbound
- New frontier

I've never been a "world revamp" person. However, if done right (interesting concept), I would be down!

[Marlamin]

Was curious about how some basic AI prompts around stormy/wind gryphons would look. Some very mindblowing results that definitely won't pass close-up scrutiny but could definitely pass for fake leaks as we've already seen happen a few times. AI is scary.

I'd rather they make WoW 2.

Look, I just want Blizzard to continue riding the positive PR train. Please, don't get into another Borrowed Power/Gear System drama and just continue making content and be a bit more expansive with the content plans while sticking out a bit more on that side with concepts and ideas.
