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

[Zers Editor]

So, apparently, the questions that, as the Millenium interview with Stickney implies with its wording, the Aspects + Vyranoth will have for Tyr are the ones they've been harbouring for a while. So no recent revelations.

With Alexstrasza it can be understood, she may know that it was Tyr who messed with the eggs, but not why. The answer will definitely involve the info Tyr found with his experiments. But what questions would the other Aspects have that are not about what they've learned recently?

Weird question: is there anything set to happen outside of the Stormwind gates? I just finished the DK starting zone and theres a crowd of like 10+ lvl 70s kinda standing around as if waiting for something.

People typically hang out there for Dueling etc.

Yeah but none were dueling while I was there.
Possible waiting for a player-made dueling event to start?

Totally agree we need more leather barbarian, savage stuff. I DO think there is a completely missed opportunity by blizzard to have some Goblins in Booty Bay selling "Bikinis" in all armor types - World of Warcraft needs an anime beach day episode.

With trading post i thought that we would already have some barbarian mostly leather, fur set.

There's lo'gosh set datamined, but who knows if it even will be available for players.

It might be for the Halloween event. Turning off the fires or something like that.

[Woggmer]

But we all agree on Gadgetzan, right?

That depends, is there a faction war between 3 rival gangs going in the city?

Though if it was done in-game, then RIP Zul'Farrak and good chunk of Tanaris being part of the city... Either way, I don't know how that'd work out because if that is the entire focus of the expansion.. then one of the groups will have to be the evil-antagonist (and let's face it, it's going to be the Cabal because of Kazakus).

However if it turns out to be all 3 groups working together as part of a greater conspiracy then I'd be all for it.

Halloween event. They might be there to buy the new items or just to check the vendors. Possibly to light the fire.

I think he is referencing that one interview Metzen had where he was playing the game or something and his daughters asked why does the lady on the screen wear a bikini and he didn't know what to say and that changed his perspective or something.

You also kill people you barely know cause someone told you to and cause they drop money.
I find it funny that violence, even extreme violence is okay, but even the hint of sensuality is a big no.
And this isn't even a WarCraft thing. Every franchise is like that. I mean Harry Potter sort of gets a pass cause they were supposed to be only 17 in the last movie/book but even Star Wars is more willing to show genocide and talk about murdering children than anything steamier than a kiss.

True. There were no Halloween decorations while I was there, but now after leaving a dungeon the event has started. Theres a wickerman outside SW, correct?

Those two things have absolutely nothing to do with each other.

Have you see Alexstraza's old WoW design? It was even lewder than the HotS version. The only critique I'd give about the HotS design is that they made her horns freakin' huge. (And I don't mean that as an innuendo, I literally mean her actual dragon horns are freakishly huge.)

Ehh.

I think Alexstraza's current design is WAY more sexualized than her old one. Her old one was just a bikini, which isn't inherently sexual.
Her current one (and especially many of the angles used in videos and cinematics) is definitely there to highlight and draw attention.

Is murdering people you barely know okay, but a slutmog is not?

Welcome to entertainment media. This was always the case since violence became more mainstream.

I know, but a lot of people don't seem to realize Metzen isn't the same guy he was 20 years ago.

Why are you presenting dumb false equivalencies? The context isn't even about slutmogs, which are literally more available than ever before.

One of those is an in-universe question of morality, the other is a developer design choice.

I got the impression people wanted slutmogs, as long as the male versions were equally slutty. They just made new versions of that bikini-esque vanilla robe.

Do you have a link?

You are saying like in-universe questions of morality aren't a developer choice.

"You are right, honey. There is no reason for my character to wear a bikini. Now let me violate the Geneva convention for a stronger axe"

This makese me appreciate genuine people like Yoko Taro even more.
People asked her why combat android where high heels in NieR Automata. His response: "Cause I think it's hot"

Holy shit. How are you this bad at reading? The conversation isn't about slutmogs, which are more available now than ever before.

He also told people who didn't like all the cosplay of Nier characters and complained about sexualization to just move on and shut up.
