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

If Xal is the main antagonist they better do her better than they did Nzoth.

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'll be honest i dont think those zones look bad, nor can I judge it and say "boring" based on some 'biomes'

like, context and world events matter so much here and without it how can I look at those pretty good looking screenshots and just go, "That sucks"

I know people are claiming reused assets and stuff, but I also feel like those stills are from the press packet thing and not the actual reveal trailer. It's all framed too well to be an "in-motion" picture of a video

The darkmoon faire area is being built tomorrow, i will report back if i see this banner hung up there or still a mystery to me

[bruxx]

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

Just don't get fired for this workwork!

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

I deleted the account I had since BC, then I got curious enough about leaks and secrets to make a new account and reinstall. Playing on a fresh account really makes it clear how bloated this game is. My biggest regret about it is buying Dragonflight twice.

I legitimately don't want to kill Knaifu. In part because she is the last legendary that is still running around.

What did they even do with her lore wise? All the other weapons got used up did she just pretend to and run off? Never finished it as Shadow and BFA was... BFA.

[Throren]

Maybe Im too easy to please but no matter what leak is real, what xpac it is, as long as we get 'some' form of new dwarf content at all, I'll be happy xD

Couldn't you have just uninstalled the game and cancelled the subscription?

[Bruxin]

Long time since my last login ingame, just found this item on my character and I didn't see any comment here about it, so:
"Khazgorite infused resin" (You can look after it on wowhead, I can't post any link yet)

Is this Khazgorite Something related to khaz'algar?

[Keyalios]

Khaz is a common dwarven word. IE Khaz Modan.

Somethings have to be burned to the ground like Teldrassil.

[uxyra]

I can confirm zugzug's word, some banners started to arrive today, got a glimpse of one, just saw the top half. Elf with purple eyes, on a dark purple background. Seems like it's either for the Faire or for some test fits. Hard to know so far. Might be for the merch booth. We should receive the rest by Wednesday afternoon and Thursday morning once the Overwatch booth is up.

That's fair. Thougt in khazgorite in the same way as azerite or something like that. If it's a common thing ingame, I'm ok. Thanks.

I'll back you all the way on this one, they did my boy dirty. Old Gods have so much potential to be interesting right there in Blizzard's own lore, yet they keep on whiffing it by using them for a quick win. Real travesty. A whole expansion with an Old God(-esque) character as the centrepiece might actually let them cook a bit.

Khaz is a common Dwarven word yes, but it is a direct reference to reverence for and/or worship of Khaz'goroth. Khaz'Modan is literally 'Mountain of Khaz'. Putting two and two together, earthen seem to retain and possibly even tread further into reverence of Khaz'Goroth when they are afflicted by the curse of flesh/similar. Possibly stems from the love of smelting etc.

Khaz'goroth was the Titan who had power over the earth and the dwarves like him. Khaz Modan mean's Khaz [Goroth]'s mountains.

[Bruxin]

Very interesting. Thanks.

I'm less worried of them making her like N'zoth and more worried they might do her worse than Sylvanas.

[Gloriandus]

Seems like it's either for the Faire

Seems the best explanation, a fortune teller of sorts?

Random but whats your pfp from? Your username reminds me of the best fire emblem (Sacred Stones) but I can't place the pic, unless it's just an artist's rendering of a Dracthyr in which case it's nice.
