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

No, that's some internal adress that isn't relevant to us.

I mean warcraft3 tho...

Edit: I guess www.playwarcraft3.com has been a thing since 2018 and links to reforge boo - so this is just probably cleaning up the reforge link.

And it dating to 2020 + having corp in the url 100% sounds internal

Unless Iridikron is BREZING his sister I highly doubt thats it. Razageth was known as the Tempest. I guess it is possible rather they use the essence of Galakrond to empower her? But I just don't see them doing that.

Razageth Was the storm eater, don’t think she ever had tempest mentioned related to her.

World of Warcraft: Tempest isn't as cool as Voidstorm OR Stormbreak. Bet Danuser was behind this.

We're almost sure the next expansion is related (at least partially) to the elements. Not my favorite theme but at this point i don't care anymore. just give me a fun and cool expansion both gameplay and story wise and get me out of dragonflight.

I think name "tempest" is something that blizzard could do- it's easy to pronounce/say and remember, it is short which makes it very good for interviews and marketing.

Im not a big fan of it, but ye.

Damn if the Tempest thing is true its another One-Word expansion :| Give me a couple of words Blizz!

It's not, though that doesn't mean it won't be one-word.

I wonder whether Blizz can use the Airlock-technology thing to make a zone ABOVE other zones, like an archipelago of isles in the sky within a storm. I think that could be cool for a max-level zone etc.

[Santandame]

ctrl + f the page for Tempest, tempest.corp.blizzard.net goes back to 2019, just an internal thing for something unrelated.

Surely this should stop the rapid speculation surrounding Tempest.

[Nymrohd]

On WC3, I think one of the common requests of the community if Blizzard wants to show good will would be for them to actually deliver the WC3 they promised.

[pacotaco]

When did WoW lore become so much about the struggle for self-determinism ... Seems like a narrative favourite of Danuser, Dasnoozer, Daloser

Since Gromash killed Manoroth and refused to accept orcs exists only to be demon's slaves.

Based on what Marla said, I believe yes but would need to cleverly use clouds and skyboxes

[ImTheMizAwesome]

See I always felt less like Nathanos had any authority over me or I was being forced to let him belittle me, and more like he was basically a mosquito whining in my ear but nothing I would ever consider to be a threat to me. Like a "whatever helps you sleep at night, bud" attitude toward him. He wasn't powerful enough to be bothered by because lorewise I should be strong enough to roflstomp him instantly if I really wanted to. When you think of him like that you kinda just chuckle when he acts like he has any place to boss you around, and you were gonna do that anyway so he can have his precious little power trip moment.

That's a good way of looking at this too.

I guess it's also comes to what kind of a character you "roleplay" as, i like playing these kinda hot headed warrior orcs so i would love a dialogue option where your character can punch him in the face, i think it would be funniest thing ever.

I’d have loved that as well and I don’t roleplay lol

Or maybe just don't tie mounts to RNG drops that you can only roll once every couple weeks on a character? That's not good gameplay and it's very obviously a carrot on a stick tactic. They could just as easily go back to the old method of using currency to buy mounts. That way players at least know when the insufferable grind is over.

They could give you cosmo coins for every renown level and every paragon box. 1 coin per level. 5 coins per paragon box. Big vender with like 20 mounts to buy at launch. 20 cosmo coins per mount. Getting the factions maxed would earn you enough for 4 or 5 of the mounts. Getting a 10k rep paragon with each faction gets u enough for another mount. If you have 3 chars you do the wq on each week you would get enough rep for like 2 mounts a week. Be done with all the mounts in like 6 to 8 weeks if you grind it out. After that you can be done with the content.

Or they use it to bring the Halls of Valor into the fray once more. Or, hear me out - Ulduar. We know that Odyn is now buddies again with the other Keepers, so they could easily lift up the whole of Ulduar (now that Yogg-Saron is dead, or is he?), connect it to the Halls of Valor and use it as an assault front for Avaloren.

World of Warcraft: Tears of the Kingdom ( it has a world revamp + isles in the sky + underground zone ), everyone is pleased XD

Not only is this old, it's part of the ".corp.blizzard" domains so it's just an internal resource portal/job tool for the company employees. Could be their benefits portal or a payroll tool, etc.

Definitely internal. Tempest is a plugin for managing a separate library for testing. It's likely not the expansion name.

[Wangming]

Dude... were you one of the guys that made up a leak? I saw the same mistake before in one of those.
Pre-patch is always something point zero.
In this case, pre-patch for next expansion will be 11.0.X.
Pre-patch for Dragonflight was 10.0.X.

Pre-patch is the initial patch of every expansion before the content is opened up. It's never a patch of the previous expansion.

Yeah sorry. Still operating on the FFXIV paradigm where the second half of the last content patch already sets up the next expansion and X.0 is always the release.
And to answer your question, no I did not do a fake leak. I mean I do have an expansion concept in mind in a half-baked state, but I don't want to pretend it is based on anything besides what I would find cool.

It fits the theme. Blizzard - Tempest
