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

Is there any precedent to the trading post hinting at future content? I just figured they bundle together unused assets/cool things that don't fit into the regular content.

Not actually afaik. I wouldnt even seriously think TP would hint on something.
Although Void theme of the monthly reward is tempting.

Speak for yourself. And entire expansion of Nazjatar sounds amazing to me.

I was fully on board for a Nazjatar+Azshara expansion (that's basically what my Tides of Vengeance leak was supposed to be) before BfA added them into the game and completely butchered the execution on both. Now I have zero interest in anything to do with Azshara, Nazjatar, or nagas in general. It's a hard pass for me.

We absolutely need another kind of class or character progression system. In Dragonflight it was sorely missing. The game just needs a gameplay hook that can be chased the entire expansion.

We absolutely do not need a borrowed power farm simulator again. They even said so themselves prior to DF release..

As it's is a new feature, there is not a precedent for it, but for the future we can use it as a guide, who knows lol

There was a leak for an expansion called World of Warcraft: Harbinger two days ago.

It doesn't sound that good though. They say it's not Nazjatar 2.0, but it absolutely is Nazjatar 2.0.

I hope the zone screenshots are fake and this is just a subtle nod to an excellent fake as opposed to a confirmation of some kind.

The Harbinger guy's account name is "Not an Old God Expac" using a Caesar cipher. At least he gave us a small puzzle.

If it had more areas in the water like Vash'jir it would be awesome, miss that area (although i know that the majority of players disliked it, so i don't see it happening unfortunately )

Would be real fun to have a zone like Vashj'ir again. Nazjatar especially could have been so much more interesting if it actually went for full underwater, as it otherwise had to continously justify why it made sense.

Honestly the hate against Vashj'ir is so overblown. I don't think there honestly were that many times you couldnt just stick to the ocean floor and treat the swimming enemies as flying ones.

Same. Also i really hated being there untill i got flying achievement. Absolutely terrible execution of landscape verticality.

It's pretty ridiculous how much Vashjir captures the aesthetic and size of what Nazjatar should be, then they made the version of Nazjatar they did.

i still go back every week to farm Poseidus and to wander around the zone.
I think the sense of depth in the water was what the folks were not very happy about the zone

For some reason I mixed up what month has the Mage transmog and was so looking forward to next month.

Another month, then.

That sword and dagger don't seem particularly cosmic, but that staff sure is. And that mummy model is new, isn't it? Interesting.

Not really, the mummy model is a battle pet you get from completing an achievement in Atal'Dazar.. this red version is new.

[JMitchy96]

so this is the one then

I hope so tbh. This is one of the few leaks I've read that didn't make me audibly groan in frustration. The more I think about this one the more it makes sense, too - and aside from the Heart of Azeroth coming back (which could work tbh if done right) I don't see too many people being disappointed if this one turns out true.

I would personally love a borrowed power option again, just toned down a bit

The trading post agenda was done long ago I think. Pretty sure it's here to tease a titan VS void expansion, which could be Avaloren (but it wouldn't be surprising).

[kavikor]

Name is Shadow over Azeroth. It has to do with one of the void lords casting sort of a void barrier thing over Azeroth. Illidan comes back to warn us just before and Sargeras is out of his prison. He's not redeemed from what I gathered but is working alongside the other titans now that they've realized the threat of the void. He pulls out the sword out of Silithus and through the hole we travel to Uldaz. There is a teleporter pad there which takes us to Khaz'Algar, which is underground, like way waaay underground. The earthen have become "corrupted" by being too close to the titan soul of Azeroth.
Heart of Azeroth is back and Khaz'Algar can only be entered if you have the neck equiped. Major world revamp with lots of void portals opening all over similar to Legion Invasions.
Fun Fact: The trailer is narrated by knaifu.

Did anyone dissect this one 600 pages ago?

It’s tragic. At least we only saw a part of it, with the submerged portion making most of it. But I share ercarp’s disappointment, I don’t care for it anymore.

We already have a working portal room that was JUST expanded in 10.2 to accommodate future releases.

yes we have - but it is a partial solution for ol'player *(despite its a total mess) and not sloution at all for new ones - who cant figure what they should do and where they should go. Outland of the left / northren on the right / care on steps or u gona be thrown to WoD

Imagine chormie time where when u start as an orc u are thrown in 'modernized' valey of trialls ' *(but u finishing it like this isle for new players) quests are polished and puted in descent order *like mini-capaign* when u are done - u are thrown back to portal room and chose another adventure (ofc there is an order, when and where u can go)

"Heart of Azeroth is back and Khaz'Algar can only be entered if you have the neck equiped"

noooooooooooooooooooooo

[Harbour]

I dont want Heart of Azeroth back in any shape or form. Just think of other convinient way to reach Khaz'Algar. Thinking about all grinding systems of BFA makes me faint.

I wish Artifact weapons had just been a permanent system with a new batch of them every expansion all they need to do is hard cap AP to prevent the idiots with no self control from facegrinding it all instantly
