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

[Azalar]

I wonder if we've had actual real leaks accompanied by fake ai images made only to garnish it... That'd make the real leak partially true, with the content being legit but not the images lol

[Nhiosis]

fuck that, I want housing!

Same. IDGAF what anyone else says, an honest to god properly implemented housing system with supporting professions would hype me up more than almost anything else I can think of.

Where to find the sheets with leaks being scored?

Anyone who says that this "leak season" is the worst one ever, I genuinely don't understand you. Besides all the AI drama, the past few days have been LIT!

[Gloriandus]

IT's NOT Storms of Azshara, then?

• New race: The Algaren, are large (Orc sized) stone dwarves that come in various rocky colours and
styles.

Why would any one care for this..

Yeah, i dont understand why Blizzard blueball players by adding random races (like Vulpera or Void Elves) instead of long time fan favorites like Ethereals, Arakkoa, Ogres etc. Screw the lore, its bent if gameplay demands it anyway since eternity.
I want to play majestic Bird-Priest, not some rocky orc-dwarf.

It's being pretty hectic to far. I only miss the puzzles

[KyleEverett]

He was back way longer than that, more than year ago, and Terran Gregory himself said both him and Metzen cooked up 11.0.

Terran leads the cinematic team, he's not a creative director or story writer himself. Which Terran interview did he say Metzen has been working on this for over a year now?

It's simply because they do not give a lick of a shit as to what the players want. Just look at how many features have been requested by the community for over a decade now and still remained absent.

[kavikor]

i will play the rocky orc dwarf

[Harbour]

My lawyer has advised me to not comment on this.

Jokes aside though, I have no idea what they meant and I'm very confused.

I think they're trying to make it seem like I'm a Blizzard employee that came up with the idea of collecting every leak in a spreadsheet and giving each leak a credibility score so I could hide the real leak by assigning it a score of 0 so no one looks at it...

As if anyone could even think of something so absurd!

Now im going to read every low score leak and search for a clues pointing at one of them being real.
Jesus.

I like Vulpera and it has been my main race since 8.3 went live. And a lot of people did want them to be playable. Ever since the art panel at BlizzCon 2017.

Well, the announcement of Metzen's return (initial return) dates back to December 15, 2022 (nearly a year ago). It was only about a month or so ago we learned of his "new title."

[Rathwell]

It appears the image leaks of Dracthyr started with a guy called Axaron popping in and posting three images along with "fuck bobby kotick"

God that's actually the funniest way to drop a leak. Just lay it on the table with a middle finger basically

It certainly stirred the pot a little right before Blizzcon announcement!


You can see people's reactions right here. The Dracthyr image links themselves have expired, but the comments are still up

"The dragon models looks a bit... janky, I think. If these are real then they are right to call them WIP "

"Humanoid Dragon without underpants: Confirmed fake."

"Races in character creation are supposed to wear clothes/armor, so its most likely FAKE"

"WHY would a humanoid turn into a humanoid dragon???????? 10000% FAKE"



There was a fair bit of coping happening

Before that. The moment we caught a single glimpse of one in the features trailer people were asking for them. My fiance was confused why they weren't playable when the expansion launched and asked me when they would be. When, not if. It never occurred to him they wouldn't be playable. He rarely plays and doesn't follow WoW news.

I would be genuinely shocked if they haven't been bouncing things off him a lot longer than that. Dude didn't just randomly come out of retirement. I guarantee he has contributed ideas or suggestions well before he decided "okay yeah I actually do want to be part of this again."

I translated one of the leaks with google translate images... serpent sea.... I hope it's not real.

[J Street]

If memory serves correctly, when blizzard did the cataclysm world revamp, didn't the majority of people hate it (with some exceptions like stonetalon iirc)? I swear I remember endless posts and comments about "bring back my azeroth!" "Blizz destroyed all my favorite zones" etc for YEARS after. Was that just a massive vocal minority and in reality most people loved it?

aren't #TeamRevamp concerned about a similar outcome? Genuine question! I'm still new here, trying to catch the vibe for everyone lol
