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

Interesting. I would be happy if they really did the "all post-BfA is N'Zoth's dream" reset.

This is a pretty well setup storyboard too if you don't mind me saying. Really interesting take on the whole thing.

Nothing pisses people off quite like "Oops that thing you did was a dream/illusion/coma" though. That's a right easy way to make everyone angry

I get Shadowlands was bad but Dragonflight's generally positive enough that I'd say people prefer it over say, Cata.

Another snapchat Avaloren one, but the reddit account actually has a history instead of being throwaway.

And it has gross NSFW stuff, Andrew Yang campaigning, and a fake 8.3 leak.

While that looks like my jam thematically, the trees look vastly lower quality than the absurd quality water. Also not sure why someone with access to either a pre-alpha build or trailer material would be sharing with that sort of caption. Not sold.

Christ, yeah this person is on another planet. Best not go down that rabbit hole.

I wonder where did you come up with that 1.

DF is same level-catastrophe as SL. Lore wise. If not even bigger lol.

do you even remember 10.0 questline?

9734294723 started stories= 0 finished.

nothing about gnolls
nothing about that tower in eastern Azure Span (forgot its name)
nothing about bronze dragonflight
nothing about tuskars
nothing about djaradin
what was the point of entering Deathwings laboratory again? we just chased 1 dracthyr there and thats it?
who woke up Raszageth? How? where was she held?

just beyond bad story-wise.

it would be better if they retconned EVERYTHING past BFA.

also fun fact: we never actually KILLED N'zoth.

Fight ends up 2.2%.

I’m not buying the notion of a new neutral race right after Dracthyr. In fact I completely buy the notion of no new race at all.

A new class or set of specs is VERY possible though if Blizzard wants to buoy Augvoker. I don’t believe they’re going to make Augvoker pure DPS, and I don’t see them allowing the spec to be the only support option. I see Blizzard doubling down on the support concept, even to the point of creating a new 4th support role.

Classes are a lot more work to do than races.
I suspect they’ll revamp customization again or add a new race or two tbh.

Might be easier to make new races with the machine learning tech Blizz patented last year to map armor onto character models.

Kind of weird that they made a high quality cutscene for Wrathion to do a back flip and stab N'Zoth with a knife, then the final cutscene is in-game and the knife is never seen again.

snip.

Just throwing this out there, but the Razsageth stuff is very much a known quantity. It's locked to the Drakthyr starting experience though, which is a questionable choice imo.

Oh no, it's almost like they are setting up new storylines that can be continued in future expansions. How dare they, I want my answers within a month after the start!

I missed the good old picture of a screen

Part of me does feel they debut the Augvoker the way they did mid-expansion to gauge opinions and expectations and impact on the game specifically because the next class they're working on is heavily focused in a Support-themed fantasy and they needed to know Support would work before they did it.

World of Warcraft: Covenant of Crimson Knights
Eastern Kingdoms and Lordaeron revamp
Paladin for all races
new races ogres and high elves (unique skeletons)
main villains scarlet crusade
class skin glyphs

horrendous title. does not roll of the tongue, unmarketable. try harder next time, didn't read anything below that because it was that bad

[AOL Instant Messenger]

So the boxes did it for you? Not the lady on the right with the two left arms? lol Every time I see a leak picture and it is blurry I already believe it to be fake. Everyone's cameras on their phones today are fantastic. People aren't still using a Nokia 3310 that came out in 2000. However, after saying that I see they are still selling those phones. lol My point being, all of these pictures their faces are blurred out, or things just don't seem right like the person with two left arms. lol

While there's all the rest of it, that's just the one thing that immediately caught my eye as being totally out of the ordinary. It just looked so aberrant and immediately-obvious that it seemed more relevant than everything else.

Thinking along similarish lines, but rather than feeling out the community response, my sense is that it was to let the concept play out without the additional variables that additional specs would bring, so that they could identify the kinks and fine tune the role before they design further such specs in the following expansion.
