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

[Dracullus]

Honestly, I don't think I can see how that would happen unless it's for a spinoff. Any new WoW content or—in the wildest fantasies of the mentally-deluded—a new Warcraft RTS couldn't really "fall flat" insofar as the hype is oriented around the BlizzCon showing itself, even if the content actually proved bad on release.

You know what would be safe and relative cheap way to regain trust of many people? Release patch for Warcraft 3 that would add all stuff promised in 2018: new UI, cutscenes, etc. Free for people who own Reforged, but still many people haven't bought it or refunded.

Their excuse "oh we haven't done it cause some people want classic look" would become invalid, cause remastered version is already complete and new UI etc. would be optionable.

I think before they even think about Warcraft 4, they'll monitor that RTS game from ex-Blizzard devs. Something tells me it will be (commercial) flop, but if not, you can bet they would start production of Starcraft 3 or Warcraft 4.

I mean they'd hype it up even if it is a Shadowlands level disappointment of a preview.

Why we are changing history? Many people disliked Bolvar vs. Sylvanas CGI, but overall hype was big. Same with first few months post launch. Like in most 'hated' expansions, problems started with slow patch cadence after release.

During Blizzcon? They barely had anything to show. The hype only built up during Alpha because of Torghast.

Im 25 pages behind at this point. Did I miss anything good in the last 36 hours?

If you’re a World of Warcraft “fan,” I can’t understand why anyone wouldn’t be excited for “what is to be revealed” at Blizzcon. It’s NEW content. Cautiously optimistic? Sure. However, if you’re losing your mind over one “datamined mount name” and the copious amounts of “leaks” that are ALL FAKE, then perhaps it’s time for you to play something else (versus hating on a community that is excited through an online forum).

Yo @Teriz I thought Lil Maggz was a Magni pet?

[Chickat]

Should be 10% transparency on our hype train with a gravestone.

I really liked that name=/

You need to give him some time to figure out how Magtheridon is linked to Undermine somehow.

Just watched talis vid and I like his interpretation of the things we know
That the hidden continent is not reachable because there is a great monster massive storm between kalimdor and it
And that we need the Wildhammer gryphon rider skills to cross it

We’ve been discussing a storm guarding Avaloren for the last few days. Taliesin almost definitely got the idea from here.

Shadowlands was definitely the one where I didnt really feel excited. The theming on staying in the Shadowlands the entire time just completely failed to grab me in any way.

I think something that helps in these kind of threads is to never say anything definitive. Saying "x is 100% going to happen" or "x is 100% not going to happen" regardless of how much 'evidence' one has, in a speculation thread, is silly. Nobody here works for Blizzard (and if you do what are you doing leave now), so you don't actually know if something is happening or not until it's publicly announced to be. Speculating is fun, going all in/against something only causes arguments that by definition won't go anywhere until official information is released. Stop treating this entire thing like some sort of betting war, it makes it far more fun for everyone involved.

Yeah, I wouldnt have a problem if people presented their theory and let it up for discussion, but to claim a theory as fact is dumb. No offense to anyone who may or may not do that.

Look, I just think overhyping is really bad.

Big leak with Stormbringer that was then debunked once the high quality image showed up and was transparently AI generated. Then everyone got really excited about the big event today, which turned out to be Warcraft Rumble related.

Overhyping is bad. Agreed. Being excited, is fine.

ROFL

I wish this board had a like button

[Catastrophy349]

You know what would be awesome? If 11.0 is based on that quote from the book, A Song of the Depths. An expansion with zones based on, “Only then shall our Queen return to reign over sea and sky and earth. We must make ready.”

[Chickat]

I hope Metzen goes on stage this year and say line by line what he did for Cata announcement. Then BOOM... #teamworldrevamp

Edit: I just purchased a 2009 blizzcon t-shirt from ebay. Going to rep that in 30 days.

These are always so hype.

Well, lame I guess. Real leaks are probably still 2-3 weeks away after all.

Now that I think about all that hyping for Warcraft section at Blizzcon, I wouldn't be surprised if after the Arcane success, Blizzard pulled off their own TV series that'd be an interesting surprise!

[ImTheMizAwesome]

Whole month for me to believe in the ogre dream..

[Palapop]

I really like all the small account wide upgrade paths all across DF, I hope they iterate on this concept (and definitely keep it account wide) and not abandon it completely again.

What are these "small account wide upgrade paths all across DF"? beside dragonflight.

You see… Magtheridon is actually tied to the orcs because the Fel orcs drank his blood a lot in BC.
Thrall is an orc and he’s on the key art!!!
Thrall is good friends with Gazlowe
Therefore it makes perfect sense for Gazlowe to take us to the Undermine so tinkers confirmed!!!!!
