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

[Chickat]

BFA had no real leak until the day before. And nobody believed the leak either.

Yeah, theres a good 75% chance we already have at least a text leak. We just dont know it yet. Hindsight is a bitch like that.

Voidstorm sounds like an ability name ...

Xal'atath's boss is named Voidstorm, and his signature move is Voidstorm, and whenever he prepares to cast it, he says "I'm beginning to Void," and when he casts it, he says "Vooooooiiiiiiidddddstooooooormmmmm!" and it creates a voidstorm which causes voidstorms all over the planet to suck people into the voidstorm, and when he catches people in his voidstorm he says "Welcome to the Voidstorm."

[Chickat]

No, they are not the same leaks.
Shadow over is about Old Gods, Sargeras Sword, Heart of Azeroth and shaman tank spec
Binary guy leak is about Xaltath, Nzoth, Artificer class and Path of Titans system

Both leaks sound good. I would be happy with either.

I come here to shitpost not suffer an existential crisis thanks

Happy to help.

I remember telling people during WoD it wasn’t the worst expac ever, it would eventually be remembered as the beginning of the decline. We’ve actually had some good expacs since then… but also BFA and SL so…

I don’t know why but WoD and MoP seem recent despite both of them now being in roughly the halfway point of WoW’s life.

[Chickat]

Whatever it ends up being I can't wait for the 500 Belluar and Asmongold TV videos talking about how worried they are showing up on my Youtube feed because I made the mistake of showing Youtube I was interested in WoW content.

I like Asmon but his takes have been big L's recently. He cant stand Dragonflight and thinks classic is the future. They literally changed the game in the exact direction he wanted, and a month in he hates it. Its like hes never happy. Perhaps thats just his persona but its annoying.

[Whisperer]

If the Avaloren leak is right, we'd be going to a new continent/island that has 4 outdoor zones with varied environments and one underground zone. Sounds familiar? That's DF.

Avaloren is completely unique to anything we’ve seen before. Parts of the continent are broken open and expose the underworld beneath. There are still parts below that to explore that are massive. It’s the first continent to have both vertical and horizontal exploration

You forgot the facepalm.

[Keyalios]

wouldn't be surprised. I just want Void. I'm tired of them hinting at it atp. Just give us the damn expansion haha We thought BFA would be the void expansion... boy were we wrong.

I’d laugh hard if the villains basically said “Making people go insane isn’t working alright time to just wash yall in void energy.”

I still don’t want to hurt Knaifu thought she was my buddy. We had a thing going. Drive people insane like Darth Zannah, kill anyone and everything, summon ghosts, etc.

If Cataclysm wasn't the beginning of the end, then they would still report subscription numbers.

[Chickat]

I'd say it's certainly within the capabilities of AI to produce such an image.

Yeah. At this point, i dont think theres anything i will believe. AI has ruined that. We will never again be able to trust anything.

[Keyalios]

Oh I meant budget/quality. Post WoD most expansions have been… uninspired. MoP was amazing to me as was Legion and DF.

But even for as enjoyable as DF is it’s clear they’ve fallen a long way. They are making more with less. Or trying to, anyways.

[Chickat]

For real wtf.

Yeah, so doesn't Cataclysm. Oh wait it is.

I think the most odd thing to me is his hand how he's gripping that gem. His pinky and ring finger is firm as if pressed against it, but its not, its just kind of sticking out.

Obviously thats not enough proof to say absolutely "That's AI" but its just weird.

Something as minor as that is meaningless to me after the whole Bolvar wrong color argument.

[Puupi]

That's a convoluted way of saying you didn't like BfA and SL.

[Redwyrm]

It will all be over tomorrow. Then we can all go back to being disappointed [sarcasm]

[Chickat]

He kind of ruined his own credibility when he spouted some nonsense about seeing the cutscene for the end of the 10.2 raid.

I mean, its not impossible that they show it? If its essential to 11.0. I know they kind of left us in the dark during Legion to BFA transition announcement, but definitely possible.

[Ferlion]

I think that's why I'm a little morbidly curious to see what 11.0 looks like, specifically with regards to the reception of DF. Unless their internal metrics are heavily skewed in one direction or the other that make fan reception irrelevant, DF was received very positively at launch but that's gotten pretty muted lately. It's not like more poorly received expansions where after the few weeks of the honeymoon period ended it got very, very negative and obvious changes were needed. I'm concerned that they might have decided to double down on elements of DF that were received strongly at the start but players are expressing fatigue with now. It's a tight needle to thread.

Yeah, same.

The negativity with Dragonflight really kind of came out of nowhere relatively speaking. Like, everyone was talking about how good it is, and then halfway through Zaralek it seemed to hit a cliff. That's a long time to get positive feedback.

[kavikor]

There was nothing wrong thematically with BfA. Just pointing out that DF was already BfA 2.0, and now we'd be getting it again.

If the Avaloren leak is right, we'd be going to a new continent/island that has 4 outdoor zones with varied environments and one underground zone. Sounds familiar? That's DF.

There's not really any way to know that is what we'd get. That's like saying Legion is the same as BFA cause its an island with some zones.

[matijwow]

It will all be over tomorrow. Then we can all go back to being disappointed [sarcasm]

Don't you mean it will all be ogre tomorrow when our expectations dwarf the announcement?

[NelfMohawk]

It will all be over tomorrow. Then we can all go back to being disappointed [sarcasm]

No to be fair, even if it's an amazing announcement that includes features people have asked for for years, people will still find something to be disappointed about lol.

[Stonecloak]

Kind of feel like something would have dropped by now more believable. Oh well, only a nights wait away.
