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

[Aucald]

What would a leaf of air even be? That's literally nothing since it's air.

Maybe it was a play on words? I can't really tell you - I don't honestly know myself. Maybe it's an expansion based on Mark Z. Danielewski's House of Leaves?

[MCMLXXXII]

I'm still a bit weirded out that I had a dream about a WoW expansion reveal. I blame this thread, actually.

That's an easy cop-out, just blame us.

[Edlarel]

Yeah I really thought the weirdest part of Blizzcon 2023 was when Ion Hazzikoztas took the stage and just began reading everyone's Social Security Numbers aloud and passing a judgement of 1 through 10 based on his subjective opinion of how easy it was to say the number out loud.

It was also really bizarre when Metzen walked up afterwards and just started pointing at a blank wall yelling get ready for the Splash Mode and a poorly photoshopped image of Phil Spencer appeared edited to appear like he was fighting in the Dark Below Zone of Splashran.

Truly we live in the darkest timeline.

[Yarathir]

Maybe this expansion has been waiting until we got enough races that fit the bill. First we had Tauren, then Worgen. Now at last we have Vulpera and Dracthyr. Now finally the expansion we have all been waiting for is ready.

Come on? No Gnolls? No Cat People? No Kobolds (not the current ingame WoW ones, but the more typical fantasy ones)

We're not even close!

What pictures can you get from inside the convention hall? Almost everything worth seeing is going to be a powerpoint/video display.

It's not like they will have the expansion logo and features on poster boards spread around the room for selfies.

[MCMLXXXII]

What does a furry smell like?

Smelly I guess.

Artificer hype

[Yarathir]

I'd be surprised if it wasn't Avaloren, with the datamined mount and all that.

[Aucald]

It is, and I do.

Unrelated, but I wrote this class for Pathfinder 1e The Lehtveen

[MCMLXXXII]

You guys have to decide what it is.

Guys? Wouldn't be surprised if it's just one person. Just wait till he starts arguing with himself.

[Ersula]

That would be an interesting choice. If true, I too wonder what the specs would be.

Tinkering, Cryptlording, & Barding

If they want, Tinkers can be any race. Just because it was more restricted in the past doesn't mean things can't be different - especially because Blizzard ultimately creates the context that can explain anything.

I'm having PTSD from when Teriz said Vulpera should be one of the 4 races for Tinker despite them having almost no experience with technology. But yeah, Tinker & Artificer are essentially the same thing, they only differ in their racial aesthetics.

I would prefer it be called Tinker just so it's different from DnD.

[NelfMohawk]

I'd be surprised if it wasn't Avaloren, with the datamined mount and all that.

Wasn't the mount Khaz Algar related? And weren't they observed while Avaloren wasn't?

[Wangming]

I know of quite a few expansion concept that would make me like this.

[Marlamin]

It is, and I do.

Is trolling your dreams worth an infraction for the entire thread? Hmmm!

I hate to imagine the work it takes to monitor all of us braindead morons while we argue about Tinkers, Dwarves, and the Rift of Aln.

Lol, now I have visions of every single poster in this thread getting infracted.

The mods probably let a lot of things fly until something really bad happens during this craziness.

[TheramoreIsTheBomb]

tmw you realize once blizzcon is over you dont have anything else as far as the next expac goes to do until alpha/beta releases which is 4+ months away

then the worst part of leak season starts:
the release date leaks

I think I would've technically trolled myself, there. I'll just go to the quiet corner and try not to think about it further.
