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

[TheramoreIsTheBomb]

Would anyone be able to provide me with evidence of previous expansion leaks? Like imagery/screenshots of the leaked images, information, etc.? I'm just curious what genuine leaks looked like in the past.

Figured they looked non WoW engine and the hairstyles didn't match at all, good work though!

Yeah, the hairstyles are pulled from human cultures from Vanilla Crusader Kings 3. Making custom hairstyles for that game is insanely difficult so very few mods actually bother with that.

[Eldryth]

Adding new specs without new support options seems weird, though. I guess they could need more time to get more worked out after testing with Augmentation, but at this rate, it'd probably mean a full expansion cycle with just one real option for that slot.

When it comes to admitting you're wrong about a leak, can anyone match this absolute unit?

[Samin]

Hey, I unironically made these! Didn't expect to see these here, lol.

These are for a Crusader Kings 3 mod called Guardians of Azeroth that I helped develop. They're a bit cursed-looking, but hey, gotta work with the engine's limitations.

But yeah, anyway, nothing to do with 11.0.

Wait you're the same ercarp? Holy shit. I remember seeing the name and thinking it was familiar. That mod is amazing, definitely the best Warcraft mod for any Paradox game. I love the cursed hybrids the DNA system creates.

Guess no ocho on the train.

Then we shall make due with what we have!

Wtf why no ocho

I wouldn't be surprised if they were NOT PREPARED for the success of and changes made by Support.

This always cracks me up

[Sabejno]

Do we know what assets(dot)evergreen(dot)blizzard(dot)com/ is?

Can find some more examples from my 10.0 Leak Spreadsheet.

[Bruxin]

No leak is real. Expansion theme is something unexpected. See you tomorrow.

[Marlamin]

I am gladly corrected!!! That would give him a bit more credibility, no?

Nah, it could go either way. Both advanced flight and dynamic flying are known things.

Orly? Interesting. I knew the spell name was dynamic but I know the toggle isn't in and so thought it could change.

Either way, it doesn't confirm or deny anything.

The toggle isn't enabled yet (although they could enable it any day) but some settings for dynamic flying are available in 10.2

[Reive]

post some images ffs!!

If I am a betting man I would put my money on @IronWasher, even though there are some red flags

His posts and tone are very indicative of telling the truth. Also, the way he wrote it, like he isn't selling it:

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.

Something about the trailer being narrated by knaifu sticks for me. Why would anyone make that up?
More stuff:

All races get shaman, no new race at start, shaman tank spec, demon hunters get a ranged spec 2 new zones, both underground, a lot of leveling and endgame outworld content happens on azeroth, dragonriding on azeroth, dragonriding renamed to advanced flight, all flying mounts get it 8 new dungeons, 2 underground, 1 in northrend, 1 in pandaria, 2 in kalimdor, 2 in eastern kingdoms. 1 new raid. Twilight's Hammer and its cultists are back and led by Xal'atath. Updates to archeology and more focus on inscription.

The earthen of Khaz Algar act as protectors to the world soul and have been at war with minions of the void /old gods that seep through as their "roots" get closer and closer to the sleeping world soul

Some good detailed information but a little too detailed. And if you have these many details then he should have the exact name of at least two of those dungeons. This is a huge red flag. Leakers don't ever have a ton of detail but this person has just enough, but shoots with blanks.

Nope, just had the chance to see a few things.

I can buy this, but he certainly saw more than just a few things. Massive details but once again, give us one dungeon name.

[Raetary]

Is artificer/binary guy somewhere there?

Just added a dwarf artificer, and the binary guy is represented by the green wall of binary code over Gorribal.

Can we add a little grave with an 8 on it for ocho? Love the binary btw!

Must be murlocs then.
Shadow over Azmerloth

This is one of the greatest screenshots of all time, lol.

Did they say they would change their name to "Legion" if they were wrong? Is that why they did this? I never asked.
