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

Does it? Does it not have some Elune or Death realm magic in it?

It might be a concious decision on her part, as opposed to the forced infusion. It would make a lot of sense that her problem is the lack of consent, not Order in and of itself.

[Nymrohd]

Maybe call him "Lorewalker Cho" and have him be on Pandaria?

I see your Lorewalker Cho and raise you Reshad.

[Ferlion]

Has she, now? The Shadowlands haven't really changed all that much in the end. Sylvanas contribution didn't really amount to much, either; about the only positive thing she did was open a way for us to get to the Shadowlands. And that wasn't even the purpose of her actions. Aside from that, she mostly made thinks actively worse for everybody except Zovaal.

Nope. Her goals were specifically met through the destruction of the Arbiter and the new Arbiter changing how they send souls to places, giving every soul a choice

What would you like to see in the 11.0 cinematic?

It needs to be like BFA/SL/WoD.

Those cinematics are very popular. DF is cutesy and feel good. It has significantly less views even taking into account that its newer. Next xpac needs to be more traditional warcraft and hype.

IE Sweaty Orcs fighting/some kind of battle/huge explosive event etc. Not courageous stone man fixes light house and gets caught from falling by mommy dragon.

[Melorandor]

yeah it smells of lazy. really hope the guy is wrong

I feel there is no way we aren't getting a big feature with 11.0 - be it two new races, a new class or otherwise.

Yeah, I suppose. Illidan probably has no problem with the light, but your not gonna rape him with it.

Well, Reshad is kind of dead in our timeline, isn't he?

Though you could split things up between them. Have Cho deal with Azeroth, Reshad with Draenor/Outland.

[Chickat]

Something actually happen, some action

Dragonflight was the worst cinematic we've ever had for that reason

That's really all I want

It was very pretty, but not exciting. That was the problem. Pretty only gets you so far. Especially with an audience of Warcraft fans.

Old Gods could look genuinely terrifying in a proper cinematic

Now that would be sick NGL.

I mean, it is implied that souls DID have a choice, they were just restrained from traveling when we visited because of the anima drought. Unless you were sent in Revendreth, you could ask for a second chance; an Aspirant that constantly failed to become Ascended could go to Oribos and end up in a new afterlife. And the vast majority of souls did not end up in the four instrumental realms but went to other afterlives that did not serve a purpose beyond being afterlives. It's probably that all Sylvanas saw was a carefully crafted scenario to get the desirable emotional response.

I actually forgot about him, won't lie so my bad.

Still i think to making it much bigger and "wider" experience, tieing it to lvling experience could be really good for the game and especially new players.

Maybe even more NPC's like lorewalker cho in different parts of the world.

Also when i mentioned animated videos i think something like "warbringers" style stories that always release before new expansion would be fun, it wouldn't even have to that much detailed and like i mentioned just having slides showing different pictures of the story you want to hear would be nice.

You could also for example ask this npc "what is scarlet crusade?" etc.

[Chickat]

BFA was one of the best expansion cinematics we've had; Manduin's chad holy light tears helped make it so

WoD>BFA>Wrath>Legion>Shadowlands>Cata>MoP>TBC>DF

Maybe Reshad could have escaped to Azeroth at some point Really loved that character. Plus if he joins with Cho, they could tell the stories with both their voices which would make for more interesting narration. And Percival could squawk once in a while.

Honestly, I just can’t wait for all the people who act like “if wow doesn’t do the expansion and features I want it’s dead and I’m quitting” to actually quit. Like, if you don’t like a game then don’t play it. Stop whining about it and move on and leave other people to enjoy it.

Always refreshing to hear someone demanding less paying subscriptions in the game.

[Reive]

another catch up event and another zone full of rares!!! lol

anyway, I hope you're right.

[Zers Editor]

I heard that something in Zaralek implies that Tyr experimented on dragons with different kinds of magic and that Galakrond was infected with decay magic that then got amplified by Yogg-Saron, and that's why he was hungry and created undead dragons. Idk if that's true.

It was not in Zaralek, it was at the very end of the Dragonscale Expedition in Thaldraszus. Those experiments took place after the Aspects and the Halls of Infusion were created. Outside of "catalouging the lifecycle and potency of the various proto-dragon phenotypes", nothing else was told. I guess he was developing a way to order them that wouldn't kill/maim them.

[Chickat]

K'aresh is dominated by the void, and the Ethereals are scattered throughout the cosmos. Who cares if there's Old God influence at that point? We're trying to prevent Azeroth from experiencing that same fate, or revert to a pre-titan influenced state.

I still think Karesh has potential to be Outland 2.0, but when we finally go there, I want it to at least be Argus level. IE multiple smaller zones and lots of story.

good feelings and friendship are enough to sustain the game.

Imo the Dragonflight marketing was really mediocre.

I think all warbringers series were 100 times better than "afterlives" for SL and "legacies" for DF.

SL "afterlives" pre-expansionm series was better than DF one too, i really liked the bastion one.

*the previous Arbiter. Pelagos resolved to listen to the counsel of others before passing eternal judgment and, unlike the previous Arbiters, decided to give each soul a voice in which afterlife they wanted to be sent to. He also decided that no soul would ever again be sent to the Maw, as he believed that everyone deserved a chance at redemption and recent events had shown that every soul had the potential to change the fate of the Shadowlands*

I mean, it's directly stated souls getting a voice would be new.
