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

[Valysar]

The question is, why a lil Magtheridon ?

[ZyntosAran]

Exactly. I miss iconic moments, like Ghostcrawler saying: "Hit rating... GONE"



Yeah... assuming there's just one stage this year, I'm guessing they have to do some live content for the audience. But I'm willing to bet it'll be a quippy moderator seated in an armchair, with 2-3 devs sitting around a table to answer questions and laugh awkwardly at each others' pre-written jokes.

But hey, as long as we get Metzen going: "Horde and Alliance, where you at?!" I'm good.

Hunters. Gone.

Ooh Arafal is famous.

why are Bolvar's eyes *blue*??

[ZyntosAran]

Have we heard thar referred to as era?

yes. /10char

[ro9ue]

That leaves us with:

S.A.F.E - ?
Survey Bot - ?
Ysergle The Dreamurk - Blizzcon pet likely
Storm Rider: Bronze - Probably a dragonriding(stormriding) event
Storm Rider: Silver - Probably a dragonriding(stormriding) event
Storm Rider: Gold - Probably a dragonriding(stormriding) event
Squally - Blizzcon mount, maybe that elemental on the preview graphic?
Fyrn - ???
Lil' Frostwing - Almost sounds like the Wrath CE pet, maybe its for some kind of Wrath classic promo with ICC being released?
Heroic Edition: Algarian Stormrider - "Heroic Edition" still says expansion mount, heroic edition is the level where a mount is included. Gryphon texture is still legit isn't it? Probably still fits here.

Stormrider / stormriding seems like it would be a part of the pre-expansion event.

Wouldn't be surprised if that's what they're preparing to call the pre and post Cataclysm versions of Classic if they keep the ball rolling.

EDIT: Thanks for the correction, always been a thing.

It looks sort of like one of the Rumble minis, so maybe it's a crossover kind of thing?

Era is just the name of the different classic servers.
Look at this e.g.

Next expansion burning crusade

Something tells me I will spend the entire Blizzcon telling the devs "Stop trying to make Rumble happen"

I still feel its likely for Squally being a pirate adjacent pet. Not for the sake of tying into an expansion speculation, but just a throwaway parrot or something like that.

I believe Frostwing is the anniversary pet this year. It looks like the Deathwing pet but blue. There's also a frost version of the Obsidian Destroyer datamined as well.

SAFE is a unit from Rumble. Survey Bot is probably attached to that.

Ysergle is probably Blizzcon, but could be a CE pet if they are doing two again this year.

Frostwing is an anniversary pet I think.

Squally is PROBABLY the pet that comes with the Stormrider as both are themed after storms. So CE mount.

Fyrn is the real mystery.

Frostwing is the 19th anniversary pet

I really hope it doesn't take away too much time in the opening ceremony.

Making this much fuss over a mobile game is weird.

The question is, why a lil Magtheridon ?

Not sure if Lil Rag and Lil KT were tied to anything when they were released. Anyone remember? They might just pick some iconic villain character from the games history and cute-ify it.

Does anyone still think that we will never have a revamp?

I dunno, I think they should. Seeing the lion statues in Stormwind makes me lol every time. It desperately needs it. They might from a business perspective not think it's worth the investment though. In my mind, I feel like they've been creating so many newer assets that can be repurposed. I'm sure it's still a lot of work, but I look at Suramar and think... this can be a recolored Silvermoon. Or all of the Human architecture from the Garrisons and Arathi warfront and think, aren't these pretty solid building blocks to start remaking Stormwind with?

[ImTheMizAwesome]

Blizzcon ticket in 2019 had 2 pets, sylvanas and anduin so i guess ysera and fyrakk murlocks might be a part of this year bundle.

Fyrn being the Murloc Fyrakk?

Fyrn doesn't sound particularly Murlocy, but maybe it is a pet that comes with Blizzcon anyway.

[Marlamin]

Fyrn is the real mystery.

We did figure out the Fyrn battle pet uses some wind/air elemental-related assets and is tied to a no-customization dynamic flying mount, that's about it.
