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

Wish granted. But you’re playing this build of the game

Malbourn looks so sick of everyone's shit.

I mean they've given us so, so many elves. Just because it would be in some sense redundant doesn't make it a dealbreaker.

The deal breaker is the notion that Blizzard would make a selling point for their next expansion Algari instead of Vyrkul, and Aggarons instead of Mok'nathal or Ogres.

New Class info just dropped - Twinkers!

Cannot level past 19, unable to use engineering.

Seems weird but someone was hyping it up in this thread so I guess I can be happy for them.

Reminds me of the Blizz April Fools joke: Tinker Leakers.

I have some good feeling that we are going to get Light expansion tomorrow.
The first Warcraft related thing shown in the last promo was Paladin Liadrin attacking Lich King from one of the old cinematics, they surely put her there not because its cool woman showing physical prowess, but to foreshadow coming Light Invasion.

He has CM Energy

that hybrid ogre race in that leak doesn't make any sense. ogres aren't native to azeroth. avaloren was supposedly isolated from the rest of the planet twenty thousand years before medivh was born. shit's fake as hell

Not that I want it to be real, but if you go all they way up in the ogre family tree, you'll get a literal mountain that was saturated with Titan magic. Smth similar could've happened at Avaloren,

that face u make when tinkers still arent announced

Thats Dwayne Johnson holy shit

On this same note, the character animations on mounts broadly need to be updated. Every time I see another mount with no reigns where I'm firmly gripping nothing six inches above its back I just....oof. Can't use it at all.

I remember being so proud of my Mechanohog, saving for weeks if not months. It… is probably my least used mount for this reason.

[Vakir]

I like the binary and Shadow over Azeroth most as they're basically wishlists but they're so unbelievably unlikely for the same elephant in the room reason as always - Thrall and the Storm Rider achievements. No, not the mount.

Same way the revamp coalition ignored Jaina and the datamined KT sets because it was inconvenient to them. Or any number of other theories ignoring clear direction because of unpopularity.

Something stormy in concept is coming, even if not explicitly in the name. Thrall may not be a definite, but given the existing Bronze through Gold achievements referring to storms on top of the Stormrider mount, even if it's a gryphon, he'd fit in nicely.

i'm good with anything but Avaloren at this point.

reminds me of jace hall

Last post from me before I duck out. Hoping to be surprised tomorrow!

Hedging my bet on a revamped Kalimdor still, but it really could go any way at this point.

I hope you all get what you wish for, it's been a pleasure as usual!

Another excellent point.

God the whole "Light invasion" thing is such a massive buzzkill for me. Something about it just feels, I dunno, not good lol

Ways I could see this being explained:

1. Remnants of Gul’dan’s seafaring Stormreaver clan somehow made it to Avaloren. Perhaps reconnected with the elements and got off the Fel juice, now are somehow bound to the land. (I think this could be a pretty cool parallel to the founding of Thrall’s new Horde.)

2. I believe Kyle the Patient suggested this, but they could just be creations of Aggramar, like the original Breakers were. It’d be a little weird for them to have that same ogre-ish look, but who knows.

Either way, the name suggests a connection to Aggramar.

point taken. but still, that would mean there was some need to do that, a la the evergrowth. While I found the concept of the evergrowth interesting, I hope they don't retread those same waters in a convergent evolution kind of thing, they have a knack for doing that which I don't appreciate most of the time

"That hybrid ogre race doesn't make sense because that's highly contradictory...and Blizzard never fucks up OR just does iterations on standard fantasy races with an excuse thrown in."

Man, the meltdown over the centaur on Dragon Isles was like a year ago.
