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

[Azalar]

I mean yeah, that could work. Granted it could also end up as a disappointment if what we get is way below what Yak came up with.

I thought about doing that, but the timing is just not right. Right now it'd be just a massive waste of time, being only a week from Blizzcon.

I made a map of the Dragon Isles back then before DF was leaked or announced just to spice up the leak season, but I'm not sure I ever posted it here.

I hope today 2 promotions are something else than just discount on some services.

We still have some things to cross out of the list with algarian stormrider, so maybe fyrn or whatever might go on wow shop or amazon prime.

I am decent at world building and I don't know how I'd make an entire expansion just out of Khaz Algar. It's a fissure somewhere and there are some dwarves in it. What else? Fold it into Elun'ahir? Maybe place it in an existing area and then use it as the start of an Underground expac? If it is a new zone dominated by a fissure, I'd would need at least 2-3 zones to surround it so that the concept pops properly and that makes you a new expansion "continent".
Maybe Avaloren would be a continent with multiple landmasses and the area where Khaz Algar is lies on the edge of the storms protecting it?

I have half the mind to develop my old expansion concept, but there is always something more important to work on.

First impression on the pillars and arch is elven. The gold and blue is very void elfy - though it could just be a precoat. Could also be naga high elf ruins. But the way they narrow in the middle is super elven. Maybe corrupted Sunwell 3.0.

Glyphs and runes are widely used in WoW so hard to say - firelord armor, frostmourne, draconic glyphs, elven, etc.

Im getting kinda tired of elves tbh.

I know this will probably be controversial, but I just don't understand what the point of pet leveling is. It is a massive grind that simply serves as a barrier to entry.

I never thought of this. Such an easy solution to get more people into pet battles. I LOVE collecting them and the fighting system is great IMO. But you are absolutely right, remove their levels and just keep the rarity, it would be such a huge improvement.

Sadly, I do not see them doing it.

For me the drawing part would kill it. I think I'm a pretty decent writer, but I couldn't draw maps to save my life.

1 year subscription package and a prime reward probably.

Well, the previous Amazon Prime ended, so one of them is definitely that.

Classic is getting the Rooster as the 6 month mount, and wouldn't it just be the funniest thing if they added that as an Amazon Prime reward.

You can't spell Warcraft without raft.

So classic players are getting the cock but we're not?

Imagine if Silvermoon City gets revamped with a port meaning the city can be useful for the first time

Imagine if Silvermoon and Exodar are our capital cities. I could see Exodar moving to floating above the Eastern Kingdoms. EK only revamp. Or Gilneas and Silvermoon.

There's a Horde wyvern building (or maybe it was a dwarven gryphon?) and orcish fort walls that don't really correspond to any existing structure being revamped(?).

What I dont understand is how and why all of these unused assets keep getting datamined. It seems almost purposeful.

EK looks beautiful in the update

Is Kalimdor not being updated?

- - - Updated - - -

So let's pretend it is a world revamp.

What thematics would you like to see?

I'd love to see the Primals and other creatures that came through with the Mag'har be a plot point.

Wailing caverns botani raid when?

Oh no, he Ordered them.

Wait till Vyranoth heres about this.

So now we have aspects for

White dragons
Black dragons
Red dragons
Yellow dragons
Green dragons
Blue dragons

We still need a pink dragonflight to complete the power rangers color scheme.

Love is in the air pink dragon skins confirmed.

The "going back to Azeroth" part is tricky because yeah, we're in Azeroth, but in a new area we've never been before that's disconnected from the world. Essentially it's the same as going to the Shadowlands.

I imagine we'll still be dealing with a lot of familiar creatures and concepts native to Azeroth regardless, which would not be the case if we went to a completely different planet.

Avaloren is likely to still have some Night Elven, Titan, and Troll influences.

[Chickat]

I think Keeper Civil War is in the cards for 11.0 but they will definitely have some that side with us. I think Thorim is a safe bet as a friend.

Thorim, Tyr, and Freya vs the rest and Daddy Odyn.

Danuser can't make me hate the Titans nor Tyr for giving the dragons better style

Bro's obsessed with the titans and Danuser. Dannny is literally continuing the narrative Metzen set up. Stop blaming Danuser for everything.

I don't think that BFA, SL, and DF are "three flops in a row." To each their own, though.

At worse its 2 meh and 1 flop. BFA wasnt really a flop. Not to the level of WoD.

[Arahsza]

Will she come?

[Chickat]

Don't forget that Archaedas is still stuck deactivated in the old Uldaman wing.

Maybe Tyr could finally wake he poor guy up.

Is he a keeper or just higher tier Keeper minion?

[Arahsza]

Who will know?

[Chickat]

For Avaloren i want an archipelago. Individual zones separated by water, and with a customizable ship to get us around.
For capital city probably a Dwarven city on a cliff side or something to that effect.


Don't want an underground expansion so I don't have any strong opinion here.


For a world revamp I would like to see SW and Orgrimmar as main hubs, with Gilneas retaken and made into a full City. If parity is necessary and Bilgewater harbor is too close to make into a new city then maybe make Kezan accessible and make that into the Goblin hub.
Also new Draenei city on Azuremyst using various Draenei assets. And Silvermoon revamped to modern standards, with a dock to let us go to Isle of Quel'danas without a loading screen. Both of these areas of course being added to the rest of EK and Kalimdor.

For zones I want everything visually revamped, with various old zone boundaries removed where it makes sense, and similar adjacent zones being treated as one big zone to make it easier to design storylines for them and lessen the overall workload of making a dedicated questline for each one individually.

Makes more sense to me to have a full on Echo Isles zone with a troll city. They can use Zandalari assets too.

Amirdrassil is hot!

Some would even say Smokin hot.

[Arahsza]

Covenants, I like covenants.

[ercarp]

Will she come?

Storms of Azshara confirmed?

Or what if it's a time travel expansion called Sundering of Azeroth?

Yes, I'm still clinging on to the SoA "leak" as being real.
