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

[Fahrad Wagner]

You guys should do a podcast. "Something Wet Under The Sink", with your hosts, Shadochi & Fahrad. On this weeks show, we break down that photo from page 1973, pixel by pixel, plus, a special AITA segment featuring our top shitposters. Brought to you by Liquid Plumber.

Sign me down. Shitposting during leak season is what Shad and I do best

I do find the images more believable than the Trading Post possible hints so far, but it's definitely better than another text-based leak.

I'm now 100% on board with the Trading Post x Iron leak. It tickles me in the right places.

[Varodoc]

Nzoth doesn't need to have faked his death...? He's just in the little butter knife.

The void may have a part in the next expansion, but an item from the trading post is not some 5d chess move to telegram it. We have heaps of void stuff in this entire current expac.

That's literally how he faked his death.

He faked his death because he sent portion of his soul into the blade.

Just like Sargeras faked his defeat when he sent a portion of his soul inside of Aegwynn.

The end result is the same. N'Zoth was never killed in BfA.

depends on what the leak pic is like, but for pic debunking we would have to bring @ercarp or @Hitei

[micwini]

You guys are overthinking shit too much. Just because the daggers have yellow and blue in them and there is a voidstaff, doesn't mean a random leak from 600 pages back is legit l

Well the guy did go back and say "yep check my post history"

so its not like we just went back and dug it up, but yes, it may be a stretch

[Dismayxz]

They look like if the void corrupted some Jinyu

I mean, I'd assume that's what's up. The leaks sometimes get jumbled with their wording, especially the fake ones. But on the real ones, language barrier can sometimes be a thing. A "Shark Nightelf" could very well just be a shark-esque Jinyu, since they use the Male Nightelf rig.

Absolutely. They get special guest star status and they have to submit to goofy audience questions like "If Thrall was a shoe, what kind would he be?" or "Would you rather eat a murloc or a gnoll?"

Next expansion called Storms of Azeroth

New allied races: Moknathol, sethrak, taunka for horde. broken, jinyu and earthen for alliance.
Kalimdor revamp. new kalimdor acts as a "different" continent to current kalimdor, so can travel between the two through a time portal in org and hyjal.
overall story on kalimdor is more simple, grounded stories. mulgore/barrens dealing with tauren tribes expanding, centaur from dragon isles trying to tame kalimdor centaur, highmountain tribes joining regular society.
Orc clans in durotar settling in areas and in some cases fighting.
New night elf faction that still hates the horde. Horde is entirely hostile but alliance can work to stop them peacefully.
New night elf towns around Hyjal to keep a society on kalimdor while the main city is moved to amirdrasil.
Draenei homes are no longer ruins and they have temples around.
Kahz algar is deep under un goro and silithus. Fissure is un goro. Part of C'thun is corrupting it and the sword caused damage.

max level zone is Avaloren coast, part of a larger landmass we will explore as expansion goes on. Avaloren inhabitants flee to kalimdor after Iridikron and Xal'atath go there and awaken the ancient one. Big final boss of the expac. Avaloren invaders described as more like desperate refugees no one knows what to do with. They are titan forged races but altered with elements and void magic, but not evil.

OH BUT IT DOES-

[Harbour]

Damn, that IronWasher leak makes sense.
What if Sargeras didnt want to split Azeorth in half or pierce Azeroth heart, but aimed PRECISELY into the last Old God, that dreamed in the center of Azeroth, embracing the Heart of Azeroth with his tentacles?
Now he removes the sword and we descend into the very depth of the planet to finish Old God off for good?

Tauren... WTF kind of question is that.

Sounds like a warcraft expansion to me. More than another mysterious lost island.

People here undersell the importance of trading post/Blizzard's awareness.

Blizzard knows that people want the Void to return, they have been laying many clues and hints throughout DF that are setting up the Void expansion.

Primalists basically being Twilight's Hammer 2.0 (Elemental-serving doomsday cult that seeks to scour all Titan influence from Azeroth)
A former Twilight's Hammer ogre creating the Worldbreakers, cult that worships Deathwing
The entire questline in the Black Empire where it's confirmed N'Zoth saw his future
The codex from Forbidden Reach mentioning Azshara and the "Harbinger" (Xal'atath)
Iridrikon stepping through a Void portal like Xal'atath and Azshara did last time we saw them
Sarkareth's boss room
Alexstrasza saying that Iridrikon makes dark bargains like Deathwing
Deathwing's legacy having such a huge role in DF
Fyrakk absorbing Shadowflame like Deathwing

In a vacuum, "Staff of the Harbinger" item doesn't mean anything.

But Blizzard is not stupid and they know what they're doing.

The Void surpasses World Revamp, Avaloren, Undermine, and everything else on the list, and jumps ahead as the most likely storyline of the next expansion.

[Chickat]

OH BUT IT DOES-

It does if it gives world revampers hope.

[Well Done Steak]

Ok this is the last time I'll remind the thread of the most underrated hint in DF for 11.0 as I feel the November tp has made it very relevant due to cosmic stuff.

Yes but it could also include one of those other themes too.

Btw. Im guessing i didnt miss anything over the last 20 pages overnight? Doesn't seem like it but just making sure.

[D4NNYB0Y]

Could be entirely coincidental, but the new HS expansion heavily features Azerite and "Excavate" is a new keyword.

[Teriz]

I would just like to point out that if the "void" stuff is Old God related, there's Azerite floating around, and Iridikron is gunning for the world soul, I doubt we're zipping off into the cosmos.

[Valysar]

The D4 rewards of the Blizzcon Collection has been delayed until Blizzcon (yesterday it was for today).

Hum, that stormy horse is a clue too ?
