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

Technomancer is way cooler sounding than tinker

Also on the subject, why do we call it tinker, wouldn't it be "tinkerer?"

Indeed, bring on the rise of the technomancers!

And yea, it would definitely be tinkerer and not tinker if the whole tink- thing became a reality. But technomancer is better.

We call it that simply because that's always been the name used in the lore for that class.

I think that a "good natured" Void entity (perhaps Xal'atath) would be more about Free Will and possibilities, let sentients do what they want instead of setting a path for them. We've seen Order and Light's very positive sides, but we've also had hints of how their extremes are very self righteous, believing they have the right to decide how other sentients should live.

A "positive" Fel, or Disorder, sphere, could also focus on this idea of entropy and free will, almost hedonistic.

I think if they decided to move in such a direction, I would be on the side of the good-natured void entity lol. Free will and possibilities are way better than "do what I say, I am your god-king."

Also, interesting take on positive fel and hedonism, I dig it!

Does any of you have rl plans for blizzcon? I have reserved the day off like 2 months ago and am planning to arm myself with some powerful snacks before the even, maybe get some subway for the lunch preceding it.

Gonna drink a bit and have some snacks, then use the bookmarked "delete your bnet account" that I saved for the occasion SoA is DF 2.0

[Well Done Steak]

Some good names ChatGPT came up with:
- Shadows of Azeroth
- Siege of Azshara
- Sands of Ahn'Qiraj
- Sorrow of Azshara

So what was the bombshell??

50-50: Either the 4 image "leak" is real or we're all about to be mind blown. Unfortunately, leaning toward the former unless/until new evidence presents itself. Honestly, I'm not that angry about it (I'm optimistic that more will be shown to justify those images being just "low quality" and "bare areas of the zones"). Additionally, if real, the features and other content will make up for it. I just can't for the life of me believe (now, or in general) that Blizzard would release a "barebones" looking continent (area) for 11.0 after the strides they made with DF (attempting to fix the wrongs of SL).

I still can't possibly see it being real just because of the concentration of reused assets (including what I think are some reused textures) and the way some images look superimposed.

I have a feeling the leak is real, the zones are lazy shit, but there is a REASON why that explains where the attention went.

If not? Abandon ship, at least until next round.

I'm still holding off that the leak is a surprise 10.3 patch being announced, hence reused assets, combined with world revamp making everywhere viable for ongoing story purposes (so story can continue in Avaloren as needed)

That's a lot of hopium/copium; however, I would probably lose my mind if true. Don't stop believing!

I'm off my tits on hopium my dude.

[Eupitor]

Sorry for being late, so are the letters SoA confirmed?

[Keyalios]

Meant to ask as I've been browsing while logged out, but couldn't find my password until now.

What happened to Stormbringer or Stormbreaker or whatever? Was that proven false? It seemed to have traction for a few days then I had to leave for something else and have heard nothing about it sense.

[Ashapls]

nothing is confirmed

[Ferlion]

It's so exciting everything is up in the air.

Metzen: So, guys. Good news, we are doing a world revamp! *crowd cheers* Bad news, we need more time, so this expansion will last longer, until mid-2025. *crowd boos* But meanwhile, here's four zones, Avaloren, with a small 5 boss raid to tie you over while you wait! We promise the wait will be worth it! *crowd cheers, somewhere in the distance someone shouts "METZEN, LET ME HAVE YOUR BABY", and it's actually a dude.*

[workworkzugzug]

Cooked up some art
Does it look like that?

That is very good. it was definitely similar. she held her orb/planet/thing higher up though, just above her breasts basically. and her smirk was more... smug. more smirking to one side so to say. eyes were smoking purple. the object she was holding was purple with some golden/yellow landmasses on it. i figured it might be azeroth but with purple where the water usually are on the globe.

[bruxx]

I will be attending Blizzcon w/ my wife, we are dressing up as demon worshipers.

Will it be your first time? Will you be try to go incognito or will you be meeting your followers?

[workworkzugzug]

Was she holding this?

oh wow, there is a very good chance it was this actually. that matches the yellow/golden bits i saw. i saw it from an odd angle as it was laid down on the ground, with a see-through fabric so the grey of the floor was shining through. this could very well be what she was holding and i just assumed it was an orb/planet of some kind

It's unfortunate that this is realistic.

Went to a Sabaton concert and after every song some dude kept yelling that at the lead singer. "Joachim have my baby!"

Thankfully he got kicked out.
