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

[Merryck]

The underground gimmick should just be delegated to patch zones.

I'll be honest, the Dragon Isles really spoiled me in terms of grandeur and design. The atmosphere of the Isles feels so good from the verticality, to the weather, biomes, and everything in between. I really hope that the next expansion can capture that (I don't want to feel like the world is severely decreased in size).

thought in relation to the "sky captain" stuff, what if the next extension took place in the sky? you know, a bit like Bioshock Infinite or Laputa (castle in the sky) with flying machines and ships?

Sky Dwarves, and instead of gryphons they use little helicopter hats to get around.

As I mentioned earlier, a "sky" expansion would be SO awesome. However, considering we had a flying update in Dragonflight AND the expansion is literally about dragons, would feel odd if the next expansion captured flying/the sky better than DF could.

You joke but I would totally love one of those for my gnome.

[Catastrophy349]

"Sky continent" is definitely on my top 3 list.

[Merryck]

Dragonflight should've been the sky isles expansion.

Yeah, I liked the early leak/speculation that Dragon Isles would be floating.

Definitely could NOT have timed my discussion on the "sky" any better.

I mean, it's a pretty great idea, yeah. Honestly, I main a druid so wacky mounts that actually do something other than normal flight is really cool because its a reason to use thats not flightform.

That being said, if I could use the Bee mount in bear form, especially if I can use a top hat, only mount I'd ever use.

[Catastrophy349]

You're welcome, I guess?

Man, new continent vibe intensifies.

That or a joke that the playerbase is high if they think Avaloren is next.

10.2 NPC dialogue that tells the story of a young, rambunctious green dragon, "Erinethria", who loved flying all over the place, got bored of having seen everything and asked Tyr about new stuff to see/where the wind blowing "from the west" came from. Tyr basically told her not to worry about it because everything she needed is "here" and that only ruin lies "beyond the Storming Sea". But she went anyway and disappeared. Most dragons think she is dead, but the greens claim she appeared in their dreams having reached somewhere beyond the sea and started her own brood there.

Here you go:

Oh my gods, it sounds like the Bermuda triangle.

I want more dense zones like the Azure Span. Less open wide zones like Ohn'ahran Plains. I can't really say much about the Waking Shores and Thaldrazus though. As much as I disliked the lore of Shadowlands I felt like the zones were all really amazing. Same with WoD. Two of the worst expansions lore wise, but in terms of environment design I felt like they blow everything else out of the water. Especially when compared to expansions that made sure it's zones were consistent with each other. Like MoP or BFA.

[Hitei]

Really feels like revamp is on life support for another expansion cycle.

"The Storming Sea"

Yeah, okay.

So west from what, the Dragon Isles because of Tyr? Or Kalimdor as it's mentioned (although she also flew "back").

love the bermuda triangle would love to see this iterated in wow
