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

[Teriz]

Yeah it's only been mentioned once, you're right. But the anti titan set up with irridikron, avaloren filled with titan heretics, Tyr failing at keeping a green dragon from flying too far west, and us ressing tyr ...

All sound like story beats from 10.2.5. Seriously, what in any of that which you mentioned couldn't take place in the current expansion?

Listen, I want tinkers really bad too, but I think you're reaching waaaaay to far.

You think I'm reaching too far when you're arguing that Blizzard is going to put out a new expansion based on a blurb about some titan heretics on a random landmass with story beats that sound just like the current expansion?

That's like predicting we're going to fight the legion in northrend instead of argus.

A crazed earth-based primal dragon (with a suspected old god in tow) going underground (where he likes to be) to corrupt the world soul (which is also underground) is like us fighting the Legion in Northrend instead of on Argus?

Hilarious.

lmao @ bellular's chat freaking out about an unconfirmed leak saying 11.0 is doomed to be mid because of a few screenshots

Those screenshots do make the expansion look mid though. They're rather terrible.

[ImTheMizAwesome]

Too bad about no live Q&A, i always loved watching this trainwreck, because it usually had some very hilarious moment.

Also seeing people getting mad at people saying their guild names was entertaining as fuck.

They sure are late on the ball, we've been freaking out about an unconfirmed leak saying 11.0 is doomed to be mid because of a few screenshots for like two days already

[doledippers]

Those screenshots are mid though.

sure, but theres a pretty big leap to be taken in order to go from "these screenshots are mid" to "this infinitely small slice of the entire expansion is mid so the entire expansion is mid". Tho tbh this is something id totally expect from that crowd.

[Woke it Up]

If you and all your friends keep playing why leave?

I an active Discord server with most of my guild from MoP and WoD. We interact all the time. But ingame I play with different folks.

If guilds weren't a feature maybe 20% of my wow experience since vanilla would have been different. I've maybe made like one or two friends and guilds are usually cliques.

[NikolaiShade]

The risk being cringe shit questions by mouth breathing nerds that shout out to their guilds and realms. Thank God there's no live q and a.

That's the best case scenario honestly, I could imagine way worse scenarios

[Marlamin]

Tho tbh this is something id totally expect from that crowd.

Erm, don't read the last few hundred pages.

[Gurahk]

Kinda sus none of the screenshots have any landmark structures.

[doledippers]

Erm, don't read the last few hundred pages.

oh i know ive been reading. that wasnt to say i wasnt expecting it from this crowd either haha

[Nightshade711]

Chen's Empty Keg (Vanilla)


Pandaren XPress (Vanilla)



NPC "Justin" talks about Pandaren (Vanilla)


And here's all the references from WotLK;



Zero build up? Nah.

Mans really included an Panda Express reference April Fools joke as part of “Pandaria continent buildup”

What’s next, is last year’s “Tinker Leaker” actually buildup to Undermine Tinkers?


That means the Bard April Fools Joke & all of the Bard NPCs are actually build up for Bard
BARD CLASS CONFIRMED!

[Ferlion]

That's the best case scenario honestly, I could imagine way worse scenarios

I may or may not know someone who went to Blizzcon after BFA wearing a Horde shirt with "Just following orders" on it.

And it was hilarious. But I don't think they let him in the Q&A.

[Paula Deen]

oh i know ive been reading. that wasnt to say i wasnt expecting it from this crowd either haha

It truly is wild that people looked at the screenshots we have and just instantly hated it.

I feel like people really build themselves a headcanon and then get so deep in to it that when it comes time for the truth to reveal itself they just can't handle it.

Irridikron and xal don't NEED to go underground to corrupt Azeroth. Just because he's the earth incarnate doesn't necessarily prove that, it's too simple. Iridikron is better than that. Ffs the dude struck a deal by going back in time to get a galakrond corrupted device. Dude is much more than his earth powers.

10.2.5 will be a minor patch, no way they're going to release an entire zone for it. : /.

And yes I do think they'll be pushing that expansion, because once we kill fyrrak and the aspects get their powers, we're done.

Cuz that's what DF is about. The aspects regaining their powers.

All the Titan shit has been in the background and set up with iridikron. This is why the dude bounced in doti and Alex literally says to let him go.

[Ferlion]

@ercarp

It was pointed out. There's no World of Warcraft Awakening on your spreadsheet. That's been a standard since like, WoD!!

I could swear we had an awakening leak this year continuing the tradition.

[Paula Deen]

Once I peed in a bathroom in Anaheim and I saw Ion, Metzen, and Towliee through the crack in the stall door.

That was a more definitive leak than last years Tinker leaker. LMAO.

[Jastall]

I don't like non-live Q&As, they choose the questions to suit them without taking any risks.

After the April's Fool's Joke guy there's no way they can tolerate live Q&A anymore. Every idiot who wants his fifteen minutes of game will ask some attention-seeking crap, and that's saying nothing of the potential shenanigans regarding lawsuits and whatnot.

Plus I can't remember the last time I saw a live Q&A where the questions and answers both weren't quite banal because it's not like the devs will spontaneously reveal some bombshell there instead of during the actual ceremony that people actually watch, to say nothing of the time wasted by the usual nerds telling their life stories and how much their guild and dog matters to them.

[Fahrad Wagner]

those screenshots are mid cause they're fake
it's as simple as that

[Ersula]

I think you mean the World Revamp where the old world is sucked underground by Iridikron so it's both a world revamp AND an underground expansion

"And lo, the Harbinger came forth to take away their sky"

[fooxy]

You thought we forgot about the sword...

imgurdotcom OUokgXU

It has been years since the colossal sword had plunged into the heart of Silithus. The war with Sargeras and his Burning Legion is now a distant memory, but the sword remained, an ominous reminder of the battle that had once shaken Azeroth to its core.

Deep beneath the earth, something stirred. Eons of imprisonment had not dulled the ancient evil that dwelled beneath the sword's hilt. It had slumbered, dormant and forgotten, until the powerful energies of the sword's impact on Azeroth roused it from its eternal sleep.

Descend into the caverns beneath Silithus, where you must confront twisted and corrupted creatures, their minds ensnared by the seductive whispers of the Void. The air grows thick with malevolence, an oppressive force that tests the very limits of your sanity.

Prepare for the arrival of "Whispers of the Void" with thrilling new features:

- [ ] Explore a dynamically changing Azeroth!: With the unfolding Eldritch Abyss storyline and the Temporal Realignment rifts, the world you once knew undergoes constant transformation opening a world of exploration like never before.
- [ ] Experience dynamic flying throughout Azeroth: Opening a new way of exploration around Azeroth.
- [ ] New Zone: Eldritch Abyss - Venture into the heart of the Abyss, where dark secrets and unspeakable horrors await.
- [ ] New Level Cap: 80 - Unlock new power as you reach the new level cap.
- [ ] Revamped Order Halls - Embark on new quests and collect unique gear sets as you delve deeper into your class's lore.
- [ ] Updated Talent Trees - Discover hundreds of new talents and spells as specializations undergo a transformative change.
- [ ] Quick Talent Loadouts / Build Swaps - Adapt on the fly with swift talent loadouts and build swaps.
- [ ] Temporal Realignment - Rewind time to iconic moments with a twist. The past is not as you remember it. Classic Dungeons and Raids await your return with unexpected challenges and story developments. More to be added soon..

Dive into Temporal Realignment rifts within classic dungeons and raids, in the Molten Core raid, brace yourself for a Majordomo Executus encounter that unfolds in a way you'd never expect.. this time he wasn't too soon.

The fate of Azeroth is about to be rewritten, and the "Whispers of the Void" expansion will challenge you in ways you've never experienced before. Are you prepared to face the unknown and reshape history itself?

If they are fake I am still more impressed by that poster and the website snapchat poster this season than I have been with any single person on this site since the Funny French Garfield Man leaked Cata. If they are fake they went through an enormous effort and caused several hundred pages of speculation alone. They deserve praise regardless of validity.
