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

[Bossmonkey]

My hopium is they update every to be an evergreen new baseline story. Yes, all the continents, not just EK and Kali. Outland, Northrend, Pandaria, all the different isle chains (broken isles, kul tiras, zandalar)

That way they can actually start telling stories in existing areas going forwards.

I know its 0.00000001% chance of happening, but thats my hope.

Go big or go home, but I feel like they'll go home.

There is no teldrassil.

[Pinksocking]

There is no teldrassil.

Lol was gonna say

Didn't that get burned down

[Jodmos]

So basically not a WoW leak. For shop leak I'd include the manufacturing leaking and not just Blizz shop. Something like someone at the printers leaking something. Doubt any of that will be done until a few days beforehand to minimise the risk.

[Catastrophy349]

someone drop a leak right freakin now >

plz

Well, there's your "leak." Hope it was worth it!

[Dismayxz]

There is no teldrassil.

Well it does still exist, it's just a burned ass husk of a tree. It sure as hell doesn't have "sprawling forests", but it's clear it was just written as a fun little thing, since we're starving out here in the Leak desert.

Everyone always talks EK/Kalimdor revamp, but I would find an Outland/Northrend/MoP/Broken Isles revamp way more interesting.

[Nebron]

At this point I'm doubting we'll get any real leaks until November 2nd or 3rd.

Previous experiences with legit leaks might not be indicator for this year. Eventually they must send the promo stuff to marketing companies, so just maybe, they haven't received it yet? I have no clue how it works.

But on the other hand, as disappointing for speculation it is, the better the surprise at Blizzcon

As a horde player I am not aloud to ride a gryphon, good try friend

Wasnt there recently that griffon you could get from Timerifts and the Alliance could get a wingrider?

[Catastrophy349]

This coming week will either be "just right," "slow as heck," or "mega fast" depending on if anything happens ("leaks", datamining, news, updates, hints, etc.).

[Bindanda]

Wasnt there recently that griffon you could get from Timerifts and the Alliance could get a wingrider?

there is the Ravenous Black Gryphon but no wingrider. are you thinking of the war wolf?

[Kiria]

there is the Ravenous Black Gryphon but no wingrider. are you thinking of the war wolf?

Ahhh yes that was the one thanks, but the Horde can technically get a Griffon now though.

[matijwow]

Everyone always talks EK/Kalimdor revamp, but I would find an Outland/Northrend/MoP/Broken Isles revamp way more interesting.

How about an ancient Kalimdor revamp? All the continents plus more combined into a single map.

[Sondrelk]

Wasnt there recently that griffon you could get from Timerifts and the Alliance could get a wingrider?

Yes and no I suppose. Alliance got a Gryphon they had to gift to a Horse, same with Horde and a wingrider.

Hard to say who truly gets what in that sense. I guess the opposite faction like you said?

[Catastrophy349]

Give me time travel, hehe.

[Kiria]

Give me time travel, hehe.

Are you trying to start a riot, *whispers* remember WoD (Great story and one of the best expansion imo just very unfinished).

Yes and no I suppose. Alliance got a Gryphon they had to gift to a Horse, same with Horde and a wingrider.

Hard to say who truly gets what in that sense. I guess the opposite faction like you said?

Yes something along those lines, I never actually got one tbh.

[Catastrophy349]

I mean, starting a riot will help us get to 1800 pages faster

[vintage79]

I mean, starting a riot will help us get to 1800 pages faster

Friendly reminder: when we beat 3,000 pages, Blizzard will show StarCraft 3

(besides Warcraft 4 & WoW:Secreth of Azeroth )

[Dracullus]

Just for comparison, I checked SL thread (comparing this leak season to online DF reveal is pretty pointless I think), I believe it's first post with true leak:

This was just posted on Discord. Source unclear so far.



The Bolvar confirmed?

It was Saturday 6 days before Blizzcon.
