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

[Izalla]

I'll be honest, I think that Undermine must be a patch. If they're going this far, @Teriz deserves his justice.

I'd be more willing to bet it will appear in patch content than that it won't appear at all.

[FossilFree]

worst thing is that we have STILL over a 1yr + of dragonflight ;//

But it does seem like Dragonflight might have one more major patch + raid tier before the end now, they just don't want to spoil Guardians of the Dream by discussing it yet probably.

The orc hero from warcraft is literally named blademaster, blademaster are all over the place in wow are always listed as the best of the best among warriors for different races, it would make 100% sense

The monk class appears to have more blademaster references than Warriors do in WoW.

[Cheezits]

This is honestly wild because those zones were looking mad progressed from what we could see. Possible they're still sandboxes without spawning and questing yet though.

Considering the dungeon videos had a Kul Tiran representing the Arathi, they are probably not ready to test yet.

Wonder how many characters can fit in there.

Maybe there will be <- and -> buttons you can press to pan the camera around to different groups of characters, perhaps in different scenes.

[Jodmos]

Wonder how many characters can fit in there.

Hope you can have the normal login screen. I've a lot of characters and having to go an extra screen when i'm cycling through them will get old very quickly.

Seems to kinda ignore the natural pet lover aspect of hunter's way too much. I doubt they wouldn't put in at least one option that is just flat out a (woodland) ranger or something like that.

Eh, but isn't that what plain old hunter is?

[Daniri]

The key art gives a strong impression that this is a group of grizzled adventures who step away from the Horde / Alliance faction boundaries.

Thrall and Anduin appear more like lone / rogue adventurers than as representatives of the Alliance or Horde.

They mentioned Thrall is finding his new place in the Horde.

[Cosmic Janitor]

Apparently it's an ancient civilization, so outside of time travel bullshit it couldn't be the sword.

It was mentioned it's a crystal and it's been there for ages and only "recently" started to fail. It also doesn't really look like the sword. I though it was at first as well, but it looks nothing like Gorribal's (or what ever the retconned name is now) texture/model.

[hattahat]

How did you find out?

It was just a mistake on the official broadcast. The interpreter didn't turn off her microphone during rehearsal.

[Vakir]

Undermine will be a patch, there's so much themed tech on display for a lot of the new zone races.

[Dnusha]

characters on a screen

they are probably showing 5 most used or/and you can customize it.

Classic panel is on.

[Myrrh]

Wonder how many characters can fit in there.

I'm curious how customisable it will be. Kinda looks like a total of four visible though, with the list in bottom left showing full characters.

They might be trying to downplay Magni or pretend he doesn't exist. It's kind of hard to have a mystery about the titan worldsoul of Azeroth if you have a character right there who can talk to her, and is also an expert at accessing computers in Titan facilities and can just tell you everything. Same reason why the dragonflights were conspicuously absent from MoP because otherwise you would remember that it would be very hard for Pandaria to remain a secret if the Dragonflights already knew that Pandaria was there and had the power to get there.

I think they are less downplaying him, and more making it clear that he isnt necessarily as trustworthy as we might think. "The King of Diamonds has been made a pawn" doesnt just necessarily mean pawn of the Old Gods. It could also mean pawn of the Titans and their agenda.
He might be working against the best interests of Azeroth without being aware.

Also, it would be cool if your dragonriding mount appeared next to your main character on the login screen (not alts since trying to fit 4 huge dragons in a closeup shot would be difficult). Hunter pets show up, but not your mount? Only some classes have pets but everyone has a beloved steed.

Hate to tell you but the Whats Next panel for system design showed the three "hero" specs for warrior. I don't think blademaster was listed at all.

[Nymrohd]

I have to say, they can keep adding content to classic, I just cannot play 3D games with old graphics

[Syegfryed]

They mentioned Thrall is finding his new place in the Horde.

every patch this dude is finding his new place in the horde

[Sondrelk]

But it does seem like Dragonflight might have one more major patch + raid tier before the end now, they just don't want to spoil Guardians of the Dream by discussing it yet probably.

They literally said "last raid of Dragonflight". A fated season is almost certainly in the cards, but that doesnt mean a new raid.

It was mentioned it's a crystal and it's been there for ages and only "recently" started to fail. It also doesn't really look like the sword. I though it was at first as well, but it looks nothing like Gorribal's (or what ever the retconned name is now) texture/model.

Yeah it's not Gorribal, though that would have been sick and very creative. Looking at it now, I'm almost thinking Naaru origin - both the design and the fact that it's going through void phases...

The fact that Xal's nerubian forces are gunning for it makes me think this might be what she's after to spark the Midnight invasion.
