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

Thrall has yet to regain his shaman powers no? The elements are still pissed at him I thought.

He's had his powers back for a while now, got them back after chatting with Draka in Shadowlands and there was a timeskip.

Yep. And it was never actually the elements angry at him. It ended up being a sort of self-judgment thing where he no longer felt worthy to wield the powers.

[Demonly]

I recognize Chris Metzen's handwriting, this is most definitely real.

You joke, but this is actually pretty good mimic of his handwriting. The Left slant of the M is very noticeable.

Plus the E is nearly spot on. Obviously I have chosen a much older photograph of his penmenship, and what we're observing could come with age.



EDIT: Omg the L

Not many pages today. Guessing nothing good happened.

The fact you're still online to see the reaction to your post tells me you're 1000% fake and false.


Just stop.

We were literally begging for leaks yesterday. We know its 99.9% fake but still interesting to read and discuss. Let them cook.

Six seats at the big table. Six hungry mouths. One will consume the others.

This game had no updates whatsoever for over a year and then has had 2 back to back in Sept/Oct of this year. Starting to wonder if the leak that mentioned HotS coming back with a map editor/custom game thing is legitimate.

Which leak was that?

- - - Updated - - -

It's really a shame that HotS is in maintenance mode. Really great casual game with loads of charm.

I dont like mobas but even i played hots sometimes before. Its genuinely fun.

[huth]

You can't prove he wasn't just projecting an image of himself.

All they achieved there was rescuing souls Helya were holding captive in her equivalent prison plane.

Interestingly enough you could say that if the secret Titan technology that separated these pocket dimensions, Halls of Valor, Helheim, Thros, the Elemental Planes, from the material plane were to somehow fail or break, it could destroy the planet. Or at the least return it to its factory settings...a sort of "revamping" of the planet...

We're talking about the mini raid, not the 5man. The entire purpose of that was breaking the spell over the Halls of Valor. Odyn also comments that he's going to go visit Ulduar now that he's free afterwards.

Keep up with the lore at least a little.

They must fight to the death.

Their entrails will spell the title of the new Expansion.

As the old ways decree, so it must be done.

Im on team 22Mage22

- - - Updated - - -

Why does 22mage22 have a high credibility score? All he has done is make vague statements on a new account.

Cause hes cute.

Thinking like Wed Nov 1st, probably when a lot of the promo material will start circulating.

Sounds good to me. I have to have minor surgery that day and will probably be at the hospital for 6 or 7 hours. Will give me something to do.

[Jolly Roger]

[Bsirk]

If my Onyxia scale cloak doesn't protect me from Fyrakk's shadowflame attacks I'm going to riot.

Thread too slow

Someone leak plz

[Chickat]

Expansion villains are descendants of a lost military expedition from when humans were still an empire. They’re based in Stormwall, a fortress-city built on top of a titan facility that experimented in domesticating elementals. Key art is of their leader.

Merfolk are the new race for both the Horde and Alliance. Dwarfs get new Sea Dwarf customizations and Trolls get new Dark Troll customizations.

The new expansion land is an area of the map is called the Sea of Storms. There are four new zones.

Kalimdor and the Eastern Kingdoms are revamped with modern zone features: renown tracts and community events. The leveling scaling from 1-70 and 1-80 after reaching max level with one character.

Class and race-exclusive questlines in the reworked vanilla continents.

There are three new dungeons and five reimagined vanilla dungeons built for mythic+.

Launch raid is called the Seagrave. It takes place in a ship graveyard with Ysera and Vol’jin as the guides.

Sounds cool, but at this point I wont believe anything without some proof.

Algarian Exiles show up on the shores of the Eastern Kingdoms. "Ay, we have gryphons. Khaz Algar? That sunk beneath the waves 10,000 years ago. We've been living on Tel'Abim ever since."

Biggest troll ever by blizzard lmao. I wouldnt even be mad.

- - - Updated - - -

A new "continent", 8 dungeons and a raid. And some story or other. Chances are it will have features and content.

Are you a prophet?

[Nize]

Not saying this is real, but I could see the Maelstrom being a key theme/landmark of an elemental expansion. It's one of the few remaining set pieces Blizzard hasn't done much with yet in gameplay terms other than being the entrance to Deepholm and the focus of the Shaman class hall.

World of Warcraft: Maelstrom

Not to mention the Doomstone. Something that somewhat fell under the radar in recent years.

It's still sitting there in the order hall and we know the void have made attempts at it in BfA.

Twilight's Hammer is still around and is an easy pick up for Iridikron to rally as his ally. There's just so much dealing with Earthen Ring that can be touched upon. (But admittedly I'm biased as I'm pretty big on shamans and want to see this)

[ercarp]

I genuinely can't tell if this is a joke or not lol. Why were there like 4 leaks while I was sleeping?

- - - Updated - - -

I recognize Chris Metzen's handwriting, this is most definitely real.

For real though?

[Chickat]

The leak was false, but i think there's high possibility that there are things coming for Hots and the picture that i posted before with grommash fighting murlocks might end up for Hots instead of Warcraft rumble.

If i had bag of hopium then i would say maybe grommash as new Hots hero and game coming to steam and then later to gamepass sub with all heroes unlocked.

https://www.reddit.com/r/heroesofthe...tober_23_2023/ they also adjusted difficulty lvls for playable heroes, so you would think they are doing that for new flood of players, so they will do at least something with it.

You know whats odd? Why havent blizzard came out with a Blizzard sub?

Imagine 5 years ago.

Blizzard subscription. 25 dollars a month.

Access to WoW and quarterly wow mounts for free.
10 free loot boxes a month in Overwatch
10 card packs a month for Hearthstone
10 loot boxes a month for Heroes of the Storm.
New skins in Diablo 3

All for only 24.99 a month. Surely that would have been pretty profitable for them?

[Helothar]

People, I really hope you're joking about giving any credibility to this "leak". I mean this is obviously a joke, a high school quality one. "Do not leak!"? C'mon
