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

[JMitchy96]

Wildcard theory: “Rift of Aln” is actually for WoW Classic and is going to be a content patch for classic+ with an emerald dream/nightmare themed raid to coincide with what we’re getting in retail. Both of the 12 month sub mounts for classic are also emerald drakes, perhaps we’ve been getting teased about this for a long time.

The riftofaln domain ends up at their HQ in Irvine so I'm guessing it is just something they introduced around COVID for working at home or something. Given its name I wouldn't be surprised if it's just what they name the thing where the VPN connections come in on or something (with its name and the internet being the Twisting Nether/Great Beyond). They wouldn't host sites at the HQ, that is a recipe for disaster. We can probably ignore it, especially given its age.

wehre are trogs in Darkshore..

Don’t know if they’re still there in the Cata revamp, but they’ve been there in Vanilla in the excavation where the patrol quest is taking place with the golems, close to that slain old god with the Twilight cultists.

[Nymrohd]

Maybe Khaz Algar is the real world location of the Emerald Dream analogue for the Rift of Aln

Edit: Im dumb

Makes sense

Very long time lurker here, and yes, same feel as you. Been reading hundreds of pages and thanks y'all for being so entertaining!

But on the bright side, no leak or spoilers makes the reveal much more enjoyable!

I'm siding with #TeamRevamp too! You got a 15 years member on your side boys!

HYPE TRAIN HAS NO BRAKES

(I just want my WoW to be good and to succeed)

Welcome sir. Time to add signature!

[Ersula]

Dont pre order next expansion.

Everyone seen how Dragonflight turned out to be.

No point wasting money on pre order buy current games which exist right now and play them.

Cyberpunk 2077 is good one.

And with lack of any leaks.

IT looks like next expac is Dragonflight 2.0 which is meh and imo will kill retail lol.

Actually I think the actual presentation is more indicative of the expansion than the lack of leaks. And Dragonflight has been rad.

To be more precise, the URl makes an continous asynchronous call over javascript (POST /jserrors/1/NRJS-2c00e6aaee936cab521?a=1120168011&sa=1&v=1226.PROD&t=Unnamed%20Transaction&rst=3632845&ck=0 &s=dcc89525cc84b231&ref=https://content-ui.battle.net/de-de/phoenix/homepage HTTP/1.1)

Referer is https://content-ui.battle.net/de-de/phoenix/homepage

and gives back this:



Make of that what you want

Phoenix is the battle.net app, looks like their old CMS for the app, so not WoW specific.

Full Blizzcon schedule!

So there is generally 15 minutes between panels which definitely leaves space for something after the opening ceremony...

Xal'atath the shadow priest artifact that turned herself into a void elf in BFA and escaped her knife prison, she's the one that was seen in the background with Iridikon in that cinematic

[Xilurm]

Xalatath lol

Oh, knife + waifu. I'm dumb...

[Samin]

The 8.2 "leak" of Shadowlands also had an "Alnir Riftlands" on its map. https://i.imgur.com/5S7McrG.jpg

I don't know if that's ever been proven to be fake and not an early draft of Shadowlands, but at least someone was thinking about it post-Legion

I want to say I can't believe people still believe that. But even earlier this leak season someone actually still brought up the old expansion list hoax.

It's definitely fake, it's obviously so fanfic - it completely missed what the Shadowlands ended up being including assuming because there is "Shadow" in the name it must beconnected to the void thus Nyalotha in the center.

[Zankai27]

Thanks, I think that looks pretty clean. Doesn't seem like AI to me

Yeah, that hour gap is suspicious. Odyssey I suppose.

[Lady Atia]

Yeah, that hour gap is suspicious. Odyssey I suppose.

But these are the physical schedule papers that will be handed out at Blizzcon - Odyssey should be there if it gets a panel.

[pacotaco]

Tbh, now that he isn't an Aspect of trying to become one, I fully expect to see him more helping out in future expansions, taking over Dadgar's role

Didn't he said in the same cinematic he renounces to being Aspect that he's going o take a role as a liaison between dragonkin and mortal races?

Not neccesarily, things have been missing on schedules before.
