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

[Floot]

Face tattoos are off.
& Havi doesn’t have two sets of horn-ear things.

Remember that when a screenshot of the Shadowlands cinematic was leaked, that people's main criticism was: "Bolvar doesn't glow blue".

[Bwgmon]

Disregarding the fact that the Havi image was followed by a very obvious AI image, why would Odyn be walking around as Havi anyway? He's not bound to the Halls of Valor anymore. Havi's entire purpose was a means to see outside the Halls, and he can just do that now while also showing off that INCREDIBLE VALOR he loves so much.

[Paula Deen]

It's not wrong, I agree, but I don't find this image less or more coherent than the one we've had so far.

Of course, because all of the leaks (with like 2 exceptions) have been horrendous AI generated drivel.

[Worgrims]

yes... and that's a shame

[Harbour]

This pic also was shot on phone so the lower quality of photo hide some AI artifacts and add more 'cinematic' vibe to the generated pic.
But the way details are chaotic (shoulders are mess of details, random looking ear-horn) and textures are crispy looking give off AI nature.

[huth]

And you say Teriz's takes are wild

All the three have in common is being long-bearded older looking humanoid people. They aren't really all that similar beyond that. And for what it's worth, the Primus has both clothes, horns and a beard closer to that image than Havi does.

[Ebonn]

That’s not what Javi looks like

Also why would Odyn be in that form in a cinematic?

Drogbar/orc/Iridikron image all over again

Edit: also just look at that background lol

[Teriz]

If it is an underground expansion, I hope we get an entire zone dedicated to the Blingtron war.

Yeah, I'd even like to see the perpetrator of the war be a major antagonist, akin to Ultron in the Avengers series. Maybe even make them a raid boss.

Are you serious? do you know how boring that would be?

No one has any real interest in Blingtron other than he's a summonable engineering robot that gives pretty much free gold....

[Teriz]

Oh, didn't mean people with claustrophobia specifically, just the visual feeling of somewhat closed, limited space, at least that's my experience. It doesn't matter how far to the sky you can fly with dragonriding, I personally feel more "open" whenever I have an illusion of a unreachable sky above my head
It's just difficult for me to grasp how much diversity one can provide with the underground theme. It's pretty difficult to explain a lushy green forests without a sun. Skyboxes are a very important factor to sell the vibe of a particular zone - green skybox: Legion; morning, sunny sky - a chill, Nagrand-like area; stormy weather - dangerous and unpleasent, etc. Obviously it doesn't have to be stalactites in every zone possible, but it feels like there's only so much you can do.
Well, in the end, you can justify greenery with titan machines / close to Azeroth soul or stuff like that I guess?

Yeah, I could even see an underground zone where the world soul is a star-like energy source for an environment complete with blue skies and varied environments. The concept of underground in a fantasy setting is very open-ended.

No, there's a technological force attacking the blingtrons and assimilating their information and technology to make themselves more powerful. We don't know who they are other than their leader having a weird name.

I mean, I do, and I'm freaking awesome.

This sounds like a side thing and not really relevant to the warcraft world, also sounds very very uninteresting.

Debatable? I don't know you so to me you're not awesome and I cannot take your word for it, no offense.

[Foreign Exchange Ztudent]

I mean if it has to be underground, I wouldn't mind Blingtron War making an appearance in some zone with a dungeon/raid story.

[Teriz]

Well it's relevant to warcraft because it relates to Blingtrons which are a part of Warcraft lore, and because Blizzard themselves introduced the storyline which spanned multiple expansions starting in WoD until things went silent at the end of BFA. So there's probably something there.

Everything else is simply opnion.

That would be AWESOME! wtf you talkin about?

Obviously taste for content is an acquired taste here...

Anything Underground/Gnome/Goblin is just garbage and deserves to be burned in a fire.

Just goes to show Blizz can feed some people any old BS crap content and they'll gobble it up and ask for more.

[Jodmos]

Was the LoFi beats the promotion that was to be released on the 12th?

You even play Warcraft? Like that stuff has classic warcraft vibes all over it.

Wow, the incorrectness and bias are so strong here… lol.

Calling it bs crap content is silly because it doesn’t exist yet and you have no way to judge it. Also, even if you did, it doesn’t make it crap content, it just means you in your tiny personal bubble don’t like it.

I don’t want a full underground expansion, I hated everything about Zaralek. But I DO want Undermine (mechagon city was dope looking), and I do want more goblin and gnome stuff. Yes please to more awesome fun content! Lol.
