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

[PotHockets]

which SoA?

Just the abbreviation SoA.

The leaker said it was a world revamp named SoA

Altho Im gonna go out on a limb here and assume that a revamp named SoA is: X of Azeroth.

[Wangming]

So SoA might be confirmed. Interesting.

It seems so, yes. Granted if so, we only know the acronym. It can be Azeroth or Avaloren or anything, Didn't that same leak also say we are getting a revamp?

[Ferlion]

It could even be.. Shadow of Azeroth.

[Harbour]

So what - Light and Void are back on menu? Quick rundown on why plz?

[PotHockets]

It could even be.. Shadow of Azeroth.

Shadow of Azeroth
Secrets of Azeroth
Soul of Azeroth
Shores of Azeroth
Seasons of Azeroth
Stories of Azeroth

Those are the best ones Ive got

[Sauredfangs]

Predictions for 10.2.5 and 10.2.7
Class expansion: Paladin (1st), Druid (2nd or 3rd), and Shaman (2nd or 3rd)
Some bridge content to next expansion (unfortunately I'd guess another world event instead of a dungeon or 1 boss raid)
Dragonriding Events in Northrend/Outland
Maybe heritage armor for Pandas and Dracthyr

They also need to do Troll and Draenei heritage armor

Hope the attention to Trolls would lead to them getting Troll beards too.

Shadow of Azeroth
Secrets of Azeroth
Soul of Azeroth
Shores of Azeroth
Seasons of Azeroth
Stories of Azeroth

Those are the best ones Ive got

Could also be the equivalent titles with Avaloren as well.

Shadow of Avaloren for Void stuff.
Shores of Avaloren if the focus is exploration.
Etc.

[Imotbh]

Let's say it's SoA... I really doubt Blizz would use "Azeroth" in an expansion name right now. I think it would rather be "XXX of Awakening" or "XXX of Avaloren" (but this one wouldn't match a world revamp - why go on another continent if the current ones are indeed revamped lol).

[Sondrelk]

So what - Light and Void are back on menu? Quick rundown on why plz?

Because blatant AI images have been passed around that hint towards it.
Also there is nothing to really discuss, so might as well consider Light and Void as a theme.

From Aroged posted yesterday..

Some news article posted this about the leak over at the diablo section

Might give credibility to what they said about the next expansion title.

That actually makes me really excited if true because that would mean we're finally, finally getting the old world revamp everyone's been asking for.

Next WoW expansion is old world revamp title is SoA.

Enjoy see you at blizzcon!

That's true I was mostly just focusing on Azeroth because the SpiritBorn leak specifically said it was a world revamp.

But also even if it's a revamp Azeroth or Aveloren in there doesnt have to be it.

Wait no what about Algar? What if it's literally just Storms of Algar.

how this SoA (link?) is related with this D4 leak?

[PotHockets]

The person that leaked D4 also said world revamp named SoA

Can't imagine it would just be Algar. Would just sound wrong when the name of the area is supposed to be Khaz Algar. Would be like calling he Dwarven starting area Murogh.

Might finally have to change my signature.

"I got 99 names but a storm ain't one."

[Ferlion]

If it's acronym is SoA, and we have an old Datamined string of Shadow of Azeroth that was about a change in, IIRC, Ghostlands, I think we can make a small leap to say that's that.

But, I mean, do we have any reason to believe that leak is real for diablo

[Merryck]

How could Paladin not be the next D4 class ...

[ercarp]

Yeah, I don't think it's going to be "blank of Avaloren" either if world revamp is the theme. Currently, Secrets of Azeroth seems like the most plausible option out of previous leaks given that it matches the acronym.

It also alludes to an elemental theme so in that sense it matches the info given by @22mage22 as well. No mention of a new race though.

There’s that & what Scaleface has said about “Light vs void”.
Throw all that together with the in-game hints and this that was datamined:



Definitely think “light vs void” is a possibility.

[Chickat]

I feel like the ideal order of expanions is as followed.

11.0 world revamp. More seeds for Avaloren.
12.0 been a while so cosmic area like another planet or plane of existence.
13.0 Avaloren and light vs void.
