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

[Wangming]

People dont care about sex appeal they care about weird nerds objectifying characters because theyre horny

Well there is nothing wrong with making games for horny nerds if you are honest about it. It's about understanding your target audience and sticking to them.

Basically to teach people to not sexualize women just cause they see them wearing sexy stuff in video games. Well, I personally have been playing games since I was like 6, back in the PS1 era, and never once went outside irl and thought to myself, "damn, why aren't these women wearing sexier clothing?" In fact I don't care what anyone wears, unless it's made to attract attention, or its on the opposite side of the spectrum where it's some raggedy ass ripped clothing.

It's more about people being respectful to others. And I don't think a video game can teach people one or the other. People have been assholes since the dawn of time. While video games aren't even a century old thing.

I think a lot of people assume that the way characters are being portrayed in video games is somehow going to mirror how people interact with each other irl. I think those people are honestly terminally online.

Anyway to bring this back to WoW. A LOT of people want to have options. I've seen many people in game wear skimpy mogs, and a lot of people outside of the game asking for more of those. Gender of the person doesn't even matter, because women also want these things. It's a fantasy world which puts you in control of a character that topple gods willy nilly. I don't think clothing is even an issue anymore.

Less about teaching and more about normalizing. But yeah slutmogs in WoW are kind of whatever these days. There are enough options you can kind of do whatever

How exactly did people get to the topic of slutmogs?

Misconstruing the discussion about Alex's model into "muh heckin modern devs want to remove slutmogs!"

[ImTheMizAwesome]

I found the real reason thrall is on the blizzcon art, he will be challengin nomi in next expansion for the best chef. (youtubers dont quote me)

[Xilurm]

Yeah that's cool and all but women have said it makes them uncomfortable for over a decade now so maybe just listen to the people affected by it instead of making up 800 reasons why theyre wrong.

Let's not even pretend like the people behind these designs are on the level. All that shit was made by Cosby Suite MFers and it shows.

Then choose something else to wear. It's not hard.

So, to bring this back on topic...

What are your expectations for 11.0 vs. what you actually want 11.0 to be?

I'm expecting Avaloren/Khaz Algar, but I'm hoping (and coping) for a world revamp, or better yet, a tropical jungle adventure expansion in Tel'Abim. I also wouldn't mind going back to space (K'aresh?) or dealing with Yrel's Lightbound, but it feels a bit soon for either of those.

I expect it to be Avaloren/Khaz Algar on some far away Island. I also expect it to have expansion worthy places as patch content, five or so concurrent plotline and no clear villain. I think we will get a new class that is open for more races, or just a lot more race/class options.

My reasonable wish is an Elune centered expansion with one or two zones updated and the rest of the zones being on a new continent. Azshara as a villain and a group of separatist naga as the new playable race.

My never gonna happen but I would love it expansion: Full revamp of EK and Kalimdor, Housing, new bard class and a big focus on Gilneas. Oh and Denathrius as a villain with a huge vampire army ready to unleash on Azeroth.

My expectations is Dragonflight 2.0, where the dragons are run through a find and replace filter to Dwarves.
It will look perfectly fine, and have some good and possibly great ideas, but nothing that draws special attention like what Legion or BfA did.

My hope is either a World Revamp, or failing that a ship based expansion with archipelagos, underwater coral reefs, and subtle Old God stuff.
Basically the old Eye of Azshara expansion concept. Customizable ship to lead into player housing eventually.

Consider me a huge proponent of both of these.

It all started with with one person saying people would want Alexstraza's HotS design...and it just derailed from there.

We're starving for new leaks.

I'm expecting Avaloren/Khaz Algar. Heavy history of Azeroth themes in the next expansion. At least 1 new support spec. A ground mount version of dragon riding. New keepers and more revelations about the Black Empire. Maybe even a remnant of the black empire out west.
I'm not sure if we are going to get Light stuff in the way that we once thought, I think light is going to end up being a penultimate boss in this arc of stories. With the "Light teamed up with the enemy of all". I feel like they are moving away from Light vs Void in favor of Order vs Void.

I want some more decay stuff. I want more Ysera. I would love a new class, and I would love a team of companions that we adventure with throughout the expansion.

Absolutely. We need new shit. Someone make something up and publish it in a new account !!

Did we not have DF's keyart at this point? @Scaleface, come on man, do something. It is your time to shine.

He hasn't gotten the go-ahead to leak the cinematics yet from his superiors or Blizzard. Hopefully he gets to soon.
