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

[Sondrelk]

Uh why would Algari and Agg'ora be the main new races and Vrykul and Tanuka come later as allied races? Wouldn’t Blizzard make the far more popular races the actual new races for the expansion since races we’ve actually seen in the game and have a following would be more of an incentive to buy the expansion?

Also has Blizzaed ever made an unseen race into a playable race in the history of WoW?

For that matter, why would the leaker be aware of potential future content? You would assume that if this was the case then it would be a BfA AR situation where you have several Allied Races that are announced concurrently.
And if the idea is that the ARs are spread like the BfA ones, then why are we getting the Avaloren races first, and the ones that could come from anywhere second?

All we need now is 10 years forum members confirming/posting the leak.

The closest thing to it right now is the 4 zones screenshot confirmed by someone from here, with the Taylor Swift avatar (sorry I forgot your name).

That would be @Shadochi, the Overlord of the Hypethread!

I trust them, but it's possible the person they got the confirmation from was lied to. And it's also possible this is all a grand hoax orchestrated by @Shadochi themselves.

I dont like any leaks so far. Im screwed.

Unless none are real which remains a likely outcome at the moment.

[Chickat]

Wasn't it raised in the old RTS?

I think that's actually the broken shore that was raised. The rest was there. We just had no reason to go there.

[Teriz]

Uhhhh my guy the current expansion just did that.

That’s not the same thing though. Dracthyr were created to be playable dragons and facilitate dragon abilities. What’s the purpose behind Algari and Agg'ora being playable races over Vrykul and Tanuka?

[lostsoup]

Don't forget the 4 zones screenshot has a dwarf with these messed up, blatantly AI hands. I'm pretty sure it's fake.

[Jodmos]

Dracthyr

I would assume Tirez would use the pandaren portrait to rule them out but there were no Pandaren models in game before they were added. (I think)

To be fun new selling points. What's the purpose behind anything in WoW? To be something new that can be sold on a storefront.

If dractyr get more classes, should they all include visage form? Or is that an evoker thing?

its obviously fake i cant wait to make a thread quoting all the people saying its real hehe

[ercarp]

That first one got half of it wrong. Either they had a few bits and made the rest up or they took an already public leak and added their own spin on it.

Chronologically the post on 4chan was actually the first one to accurately leak Dracthyr and Evokers (it preceded even the clues posted by @Scaleface, but was not found until after the fact). I think they were either working with the wrong info or just didn't have enough info to begin with so they made something up.

[Puupi]

Well yeah, but we still encountered Draenei in WC3. Granted that version became the Broken, but still we had actually encountered Draenei in some form before. Algari and Agg'ora sound like something someone just made up.

And Dracthyrs?

[Sondrelk]

The Voyage to Azeroth thing is describing The Four Screenshots leak, fleshed out.

Weirdly the part that makes it feel weirdly more likely to me is the Taunka. Can't explain why.

Honestly the Taunka does the opposite for me. Just seems far too random.

My man you can count the pixels on that. This is peak wishful thinking.

Anyway the 4 screenshots dont use any AI. Been over this 100x but they are clearly taken in-engine...that doesnt make them real but the fact vertical fog is present definitely means the DF(or newer) client was used.

If its fake whoever made this doesnt need AI and made plenty custom textures and even models for this.

Their name is @Shadochi

I think you're way miscalculating the idea of that hand. I do not think those are meant to be fingers, I think its meant to be a giant claw that goes over the top of the hand, with his fingers going under.

[ChairmanKaga]

Didn't Chen appear in a WC3 side mission or something?

[Magistrate]

That's part of them as a race.

[Paula Deen]

I trust them, but it's possible the person they got the confirmation from was lied to. And it's also possible this is all a grand hoax orchestrated by @Shadochi themselves.

I doubt it is a fake by them for one simple reason; They openly admitted on here that they got information confirming from a friend of a friend of an XYZ who works there.

The last few times someone with confirmed friends at Blizzard posted anything (Legion Leak) they got into big trouble and were found out pretty quick. So either they really are lying and know no one at Blizzard, which still leaves them open to lawyers from Blizzard if they even get it remotely close, or they told the truth and are risking it all for some fun.

I would say someone with that many posts is more on the reputable side.

Yeah but literally no one has ever requested Algari and Agg'ora. People have requested playable dragons, which is why we got Dracthyr.
