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

[Wangming]

Why would she plant a precious thing she wants to do well right next to the heavily corrupting enemy in the middle of the war?

Perhaps because she believed life flourishing wildly could fight back against the void? I mean generally a void is something you'd want to fill with something.

Cowdoy used cowdoy! It's cowdoy effective

I was gonna be really sad if no one caught that

Again. She wasn't planting a life giving tree to try and see what happened or to help the land. She was planting a precious gift from someone close to her somewhere it would flourish.

But it being a precious gift doesn't change the properties of the tree.

It's a world tree, connected to the emerald dream, so chock full with life magic it grows mountain-sized in the same time period it takes a regular tree to grow a tiny sappling. (or instantenously with someone like Eonar involved)
It will grow and flourish anywhere and spread its influence everywhere.

I very much doubt Eonar went "hold on, let me get my super nutrient rich, specialty magic soil and find a nice sunny spot (on this void covered wasteland) to plant by world tree!" she likely just took control of some land, screamed "it's treein' time" and plopped it down.

And not like the proximity to an Old God would matter when the titans are right there, already overseeing the whole planet.
If C'thun would try to attack the tree, Eonar would turn him into fertilizer.

Archaedas is a full keeper.
Blessed by Khaz'goroth and everything.

I kinda feel line he could be on our side. Idk. Hes cool either way.

Maybe him instead of Tyr.

If the marketing tool isn't selling out, it means the market is not reacting to your marketing.

Aka, it's a failed campaign.

Lots of cons are on the downturn. Also if they have 15% of in person tickets bot sold, but 1.5 million watching online its not a failed campaign.

No, instead she probably went "Wow, maybe I should plant this very precious thing on the other side of the planet where it can grow safely."

The Old Gods don't walk over and swat things. They burrow deep under the ground and corrupt things, the Titans knew that is how they worked, so why would she plant something that sends down roots to look for nutrients practically on top of an Old God?

[Izalla]

We have no idea why Eonar may or may not have picked such a location. All we know is there is an infested World Tree there in the Nightmare version which has no explanation, and that Eonar once planted a tree somewhere that was ripped out of the ground long before any mortal civilization existed to remember such an event.

The devs don't always follow through on the most logical course of actions so applying our logic to something we don't know about yet can be a bit useless. By their own in-universe rules, C'thun's corpse being drenched in Azerite should have resurrected him the same way the watered down lifeblood of Azeroth in the Vale of Eternal Blossoms revilitized Y'Shaarj's heart, but so far we have yet to see C'thun again.

Planting the tree near C'thun is obviously a stupid idea since we know Old Gods corrupt the trees and the Dream through them (though the Titans couldn't actually know that yet since none had suffered that fate yet). But it being a terrible idea doesn't prevent Blizz from deciding to do it because they have a storyline in mind that requires it. Or if they want to utilize that Legion breadcrumb that they didn't think through when they came up with the idea.

The Druid of the flame transmog will be available or not ?

But we don't know what's over there yet. Maybe Xal'atah's lingering essence was over there and Eonar wanted it as far from possible from that. Do we have any indication if Y'shaarj had already been plucked out by the time the tree was planted, or was he plucked out after?

[Revamp Man]

can we stop reading into the blizzcon set?
Its confirmed 1 to 1 parts of the bronze temple.

I was gone long enough for 100 pages to pop up
Ain't got time to comb between marketing discussions, why this leak is real, or why that leak is fake, or how Odyn is corrupted, in order to find a small blip on the discussions

- - - Updated - - -

we already know its based on the corridor of time which is one the blizzcon map. Its basically bronze dragon themed, its a copy of whats ingame.

Can't lie that's awesome

Stick 'em up

The timeline is unclear. Both happened prior to the bulk of the fall of the Black Empire.

[Revamp Man]

Yrel coming back via bronze magic for light v void confirmed??

That's a disappointing possibility for me but it's inevitably going to happen in some expansion

[Merryck]

Eonar is either working with the void or she's just incredibly naive. Either way is what I'd expect from the redheaded stepchild of the Pantheon.

No, she is working with Life. Hello?

[Catastrophy349]

Blizzard employee reading this thread... I beg of you... Just a crumb please.

It is happening at BlizzCon. You're welcome.

[22mage22]

Did any leak mention so far the addition of more classes for the Dracthyrs? Because Blizzard said (I think through Ion on an interview, but I may remember it wrong) that they will in the future, and I think the new expansion could be a very good opportunity to add for them basic classes like mage, warrior, hunter and maybe even shaman...

dracthyrs will have shamans

[Teriz]

Okay I got to say. It'd be pretty sick to be in an underground zone where the tip of Gorribal is on the ceiling

The map is fine, it simply should include Undermine, since Blizzard would clearly add it to an underground expansion.
