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

[Baraden]

I thought Anduin looked more closer to his mid 30s in the trailer, if not even Varian's age. He looks older than mid 20s.

They could indeed do another time skip I suppose; but canonically he can't be more than late 20s if they carry on right after Dragonflight continuity wise

Also, some people look pretty old for their age, especially when they've been actively partaking in wars from as young as Anduin has

[Mrpms]

I guess there really is no Pirates

[Izalla]

What exactly was shocking about the DF reveal tho. Except maybe Dracthyr, but the only shocking thing about them was how shockingly bad they looked.

Yes the dracthyr. People were certain they were fake and surprise surprise Blizz actually made something that bizarre.

[PotHockets]

So was any leak right?

There was one right beforehand that was

[Pinksocking]

So was any leak right?

Yes everything leaked 1 hour before and nobody bought it

Well, you wont be paying, as you said. So what's the problem?

No problem at all. i'm just voicing my disappointment. It isn't against the rules, right?

[Nymrohd]

I'm surprised they haven't announced anything about their survival game ...

I guess it's nowhere near ready to show

[ro9ue]

Just for reference. Midnight is a nice name for a void expansion considering its a reference to a time...

The Hour of Twilight is the fulfillment of a chain of events instigated by the Old Gods many eons ago. It is prophesied as the moment when the Old Gods will finally be freed from their ancient prisons and will return to end all life on Azeroth.

[Houle]

If titans are returning then Illidan is all but confirmed, surely? There's no way he could even begin to hold Sargy by himself. Which begs the question of, is big boy himself coming with.

I mean, it would be fitting. They are advertising this as the big "conclusion" of the last 20 years of story, and the whole titan and world soul stuff. Who better to be the main villain of the finale than the first big bad and titan himself, Sargeras.

[Makabreska]

No problem at all. i'm just voicing my disappointment. It isn't against the rules, right?

Of course not. But when this is all you ever do, people will stop treating you seriously.

[Wangming]

Oh so we're for sure finally killing Azshara right? Definitely going to be the final raid boss right?

Maybe, but not sure. I mean Azshara is more Azshara aligned than void aligned.

[JDBlou]

If anything Azashara would show up in War Within since this is the one more focused on the OGs that are all dead and gone.

I don't know, they said Midnight would be about reuniting all the elf "tribes" and what would be more poetic justice than sticking it to the person who ultimately caused the schism in the Elf Empire that caused the creation of high elves and all subsequent deviations. At least that's my logic. Seems like the biggest "Elven" threat.

[ChairmanKaga]

There's no new race

Uhhhhhhhhhhhh That was like a big chunk of the presentation.

Lmaao, he grew up so fast.

I'll kinda miss his old look. Now he's got the same generic haircut and bear almost every video game protag has these days.

All for grizzeled paladin, though.

[Pheraz]

Yes everything leaked 1 hour before and nobody bought it

well .... sorry but 1 hour before leak does not count as a leak. IMO

[Cheezits]

Midnight is really odd to me. They said it as if it's our old world Azeroth, but why call the elves "tribes" if it's present Azeroth?

[Kurrelurre]

Everything in a cave. Not impressed unfortunately.

[Santandame]

Honestly? I’m more excited for Midnight and The Last Titan. At this point I’d prefer we just got Xal’atath and the Nerubians as 10.3 content along with Iridikron and Xal escaping into Midnight. Just skip The War Within entirely. It feels like filler moreso than any other expansion so far.

I’m shocked at the people saying it feels like Warcraft? The zones are just as asspulled as the Dragon Isles were and Avaloren would have been. The Earthen just feel lame and the entire Arathi thing is just ????????

Midnight sounds a lot more Warcraft in comparison. A Void invasion of Quel’Thalas which will likely feature Azshara and Ethereals.

For those of you that are hyped, I’m happy for you - but I am most certainly unhyped.

The zones look beautiful so there is that.

[Jodmos]

It reminds me of something else...

Mentioned that earlier. Foreshadowing? It's got to be an intentional decision to put that pose in.

[vintage79]

My impressions:

They showed relatively little but:

zone 'theme' - I like it

New 3rd pillar of gameplay - solo (I like it very much)
((big vision / mage tower / any challenge mode enjoyer here)

New 'specs' dark ranger? hell yeah!

+ Metzen's rocks!!!!

+ Account Shared character heritage is finally here
well done

Cinematic is cool

but also
I dont think its a expansion opening cinematic
(could be wrong tho)
