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

Nice to see that what igira was forging was this legendary. Wish we found out more about it but the fact that it can rend planar borders is cool.

Your image was really convincing, what AI program did you use for it? Asking for a friend. ;P

Bing AI + editing with GIMP2

Now I'm just even more interested in seeing what the actual legendary effect will be

[Foolicious]

Didn't say much, did it?

At least the axe is useful for something other than looking cool i guess. Didn't notice anything noteworthy other than that.

Probably only a more powerful version of the fyrakk weapons. But one can hope its something cool.

New cinematic

Ahhhh how much I love Fyrakk

Nothing really major in the cinematic, but cool nonetheless. Basically, if Fyrakk is in, the cinematic is cool.

[Lorgar Aurelian]

If they're not playable races and want to kill you, then yeah, they're monsters.

Lol no.

Hell trolls aren’t even a different race there just a different group, no different then saying undermine is filled with monsters because venture co are there.

And again, while NEs built the city, they no longer control it. Demons control the eastern part of the city, and Ogres control the northern part of the city.

the night elfs are the ones who summoned the demons to feed on there magic.

And once again, we're comparing hostile locations controlled by demons, ogres, jungle trolls, etc. to a city controlled by a neutral goblin trade empire that is a center of commerce and wealth on Azeroth.

none of the locations had to be hostile before they were made into raids/dungeons but again grim Batol.

And no I’m not comparing it to any be trade empire, because said empire isn’t in the game yet and blizzard could easily make it all hostile just like they did with any of the other city’s.

In an underground expansion, how would any of these cities have more relevance than Undermine?

the underground expansion doesn’t exist yet, so they will always be more relevant until it does and Mabye even after one does if said expan doesn’t touch on goblins.

Surprised by how enjoyable Fyrakk is as a baddie. A damn shame this is his last patch.

Wasnt there something that seemed to imply he survived, or did I just imagine that?

I think we are getting so attached to decent villains simply because we don't get enough of them. I mean, Fyrakk just does not have the depth to stay around. Let him go out with a bang. Ofc I am not sure Amirdrassil will be good enough.

I could see it having a use effect that teleports you to the Dream.

[Super Dickmann]

We loot his heart. This is generally considered lethal. Personally I hope they pull a cop out and have him be able to res, akin to Rag, possibly courtesy of killing Smolderon. There's viable contrivances.

[Teriz]

Lol no.

Uh yes. Ogres and savage Jungle trolls that want to kill members of the alliance or horde on sight are considered monsters by any conceivable metric.

the night elfs are the ones who summoned the demons to feed on there magic.

And human necromancers brought the undead to Stratholme. Doesn't change the fact that Stratholme is no longer controlled by humans and Dire Maul is no longer fully controlled by Elves.

none of the locations had to be hostile before they were made into raids/dungeons but again grim Batol.

Uh those locations were literally created to be hostile locations for adventurers to go to to fight monsters. Undermine was never conceived to be a place like that per multiple Blizzard sources.

And no I’m not comparing it to any be trade empire, because said empire isn’t in the game yet and blizzard could easily make it all hostile just like they did with any of the other city’s.

Again, read the original concept for Undermine as explained by one of WoW's original devs Jonathan Staats.

the underground expansion doesn’t exist yet...

Of course, but that is the context that this discussion is taking place under.

[Raetary]

I mean, he slurps up Smolderon.

Blizzard could easily use that as an excuse to have him respawn in the Firelands as the new Firelord.

Moon owl bear 12 month mount thing got decrypted

[Izalla]

Okay so I love that it showed then imbue the axe with runes via the night elves and then he used it to slash open a gateway to the Dream. That was a nice touch. I wasn't really interested in the axe until someone pointed out that the work being done with the ingots at the suffusion camps was to forge that axe for him, so it's pretty cool they ended up making his axe the legendary instead of a random druid weapon that wouldn't have otherwise had a tie to what we have been doing in the story so far. It does actually make sense after all.

If in-game cinematics become more frequent as worldbuilding/lore pieces, I'm all for it. Cool to see where the axe gets it's name, a little hype behind a legendary item.

I've had issues with understanding how Fyrakk knows of the world tree, but this did a better job at kind of implying why he wants to burn it.

Hates Vyranoth, hates the Aspects, hates us. Kinda hates Iridikron. He says fuck Iridikron's plan, and fuck this thing that is so important to you guys. I'll bring on these fanatics that already hate this thing and use them to hurt you where it will hurt most.

Cool little cinematics, I'm a bit more hyped for 10.2 I guess

[Teriz]

Guess the new 12 month offer comes within an hour or two, then. :-)

I wonder if it'll contain Trader's Tenders?

I must admit, the Trader Post stuff is pretty brilliant on Blizzard's part. I can only imagine that they'll offer a huge stash of Trader Tender when you pre-purchase the expansion.

[hattahat]

It would be interesting to see Elune ascend Fyrakk like she did Ysera.

Why on earth would she want to do that to a dude that wants to destroy the dream?

I wonder if white and blue will be the revamped Night Elf colors moving forward? It's on their second heritage, and now this owlbear.
