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

Guys, I've got a question: will the new wow expansion be announced today? (Friday 3rd)

[Akatsui]

Good morning everyone!

Happy Blizzcon day!

What will we get? Lightforged? Underground? New Island on the other side of Azeroth? Dwarves? Old Gods? Let's find out!

Probably. Can't say 100% but like... I don't see why they wouldn't, even if they have a 10.3 planned and we won't see it until Q4 next year just giving us something seems like a good idea

[justwatching]

Shrug. Doesn't need separate panels or a demo if all they're doing is showing a cinematic, some gameplay and talking a bit about it.



On the current schedule for virtual, the gap between opening ceremonies and WoW is listed as:

So in 2019 there was a 30 min gap between ceremony end and first panel. They did hide that panel(it was D4) but it was listed as "Coming Soon" until after the ceremony.

Its possible but I'll remain skeptical cause Jason Schreier usually knows his shit with Blizzard.

Yes, presumably at the Warcraft "What's Next" pannel, after the opening ceremony.

Somehow, nothing! We're less than 12 hours away and there's been no leaks. I'm hoping it stays that way until the reveal, honestly.

The "Somehow" made me think of Star Wars meme "Somehow Palpatine returned", so I just made this :3

Could be something to do with the merger now that it's been finalized. Assuming that isn't included in the extended opening we're getting

Unrelated question, but I always wondered - how to add hidden spoiler blocks like these?

Without space.

As for the Titans, I think it's helpful to compare them to the Angiris Council in Diablo.

They're good and fighting evil, but they exist on such a different cosmic plane than we do, sometimes what we consider to be good/bad doesn't line up with their view. They see a greater picture in the universe, one in which Order must triumph (anything but would be synonymous with the end of the universe to them). We can't comprehend that, because the scope of the universe to us is Azeroth. To them, we are but one of many. And to them, our world-soul is much more important than us, its custodians.

But, as seen with Tyrael and Tyr, there can be renegades who take a more symathetic view of the plights of mortals, and want to get directly involved. Ensuring victory for their cosmic faction, while also seeking to minimise suffering for everyone.

I think perspective is important for the Titans as well. Think about Alagalon’s POV. You have watched millions of worlds fall prey to the horrors of the universe.

You come to Azeroth and see: Ulduar Breached, Keepers Corrupted, Old Gods Free, Agents of the Burning Legion active, and a new threat in the Scourge. Not to mention all those factions were warring against one another while the champions of Azeroth squabble too.

Reorganization is a very sane response. All things considered, he was pretty reasonable when the champions of Azeroth proved we could defend our world.

Possible but then why schedule the longer ceremony in the first place. They also have streamers scheduled during that time.

I thought they usually run other events concurrently like e-sports with announcements. Was the streamer event meant to be main stage as well?

Seriously though, something about that lighting is firing off 'not real' flags in my head. Bellular is a simulation confirmed.

Good morning Fahrad, you beautiful creature.

Good morning! Anything new?

Algalon isn't a Titan.

The over sharpened, over saturated click bait look is something I despise, but I'd rather watch Bell than T&E.

Morniiiiing! :> ♥

I mean, titans weren't being portrayed as "morally white" since at least Ulduar. It's one of those weird misconceptions that the Titans were some kind of ultimately benevolent force, that would do no harm until very recently.

I'm not going to write off every single Titan/Keeper as evil... but out of all of them, Aman'thul is the most suspicious along with Odyn (who was given a portion of Aman'thul's power). Both of which probably share the same ideals and goals of wanting Order spread out...

[Itsgotime]

Algalon isn't a Titan.

Very true, but I meant Titans as a faction. So Titan-aligned species like Algalon, Titan creations, and the Titans themselves. They all share similar directives.

Well, heading to bed. Time to go to bed at almost 9 AM, just to wake up at 18:00 to just about get ready and order food for the Opening Ceremony. I sincerely hope that we DON'T get any Leaks until then and while I have some favorites, I kind of also hope that none of what we've read over the last (almost) 2600 Pages is actually accurate, so we can mark this Season down as the first (?) blind announcement since forever.
