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

[Yus atath]

I AM SO FCKING HAPPPYYYYY!!!!!!!!


This xpac reveal feels like a dream omgggggg

Alll of this is just absolutely Amazing! I am So incredibly hyped

[Nymrohd]

They really did make Anduin a hunk in the concept art.

[Raetary]

The Stormrider mount has unique Dragonriding abilities.

[Chickat]

So how will the Quel'thalas expansion work? It's not that big.

They will make it bigger imo.

[The Stormbringer]

Anyone else expecting a massive world revamp after all of this? With them, you know, doing bits and pieces here and there over the three?

[TheramoreIsTheBomb]

Josh looks amazing here. Love that they used his face in the cinematic.

[seainma]

I don't even know what to think. But i know how I feel. OMG I'm so excited. Beautiful underground zones, we are also getting some partial revamps in future expansions? Quelthalas! Northrend?!

This Worldsoul Saga is going to be epic.

[Cheezits]

Makes sense.

It's actually what I wanted Nya'lotha to be before the reveal it was just a raid. A Black Empire city where we worked with some of them.

I hope that's the case here and it's not just like the Maw.

[Gurahk]

I don't know what to feel about this, what do they mean by faster expansions? Does that mean less content in each expansion to push them out faster?

[pacotaco]

Maybe it's already said, but the Algarian Stormrider was indeed a ghostly dynamic flying customizable gryphon and Squally was the baby pet version of it.

[Ferlion]

I have a prediction.

Warbands will have a camp that is a stand in for player housing, and it becomes the login screen for everyone.

I'm actually expecting a wow 2, even though I never entertained the idea before.

[Draedarr]

Josh looks amazing here. Love that they used his face in the cinematic.

The scars that Shadowlands and being a pawn of Jailer made on him showing on his face

[Jodmos]

Josh looks amazing here. Love that they used his face in the cinematic.

And very similar to the LK cinematic. Surely intentionally.

So, heres how i think this is gonna go, if we take what Metzen said and what they showed so far (in both the trailers and the new website).

11.0 Will be Xal, mutating the Nerubians with Galakronds essence, trying to turn them into a big army.
It will fail mostly, but fitting for her title as the "Harbinger of the Void", she will somehow open the way for 12.0, where the real forces of the Void will come full-scale, and finally be "banished forever" (according to Metzen).
The Void making (and failing) its big move however, will then likely lead to 13.0, when the Titans decide they had enough of this shit, and come to Azeroth again to make sure everything is going according to their "plan".

Which will probably be the point where Iridikron steps up again to do whatever hes planning to do. The wild cards then would be Sargeras and Illidan.

Sounds about right. And sounds epic. Exactly what I was hoping for. must be shit for people who didn't want this kind of story, to know the next 3 expacs aren't up their alley

Yeah it feels like at the end of this saga, we'll either get a soft reboot or a WoW 2. I'm still gagged at the announcement... three expansions?! Holy moly

[Kiivar86]

They will make it bigger imo.

I expect the Sunwell to expand a bit at least, and they'll probably put in another new zone, maybe use that one area that never got used for the void elf intro.

Ghostlands, Eversong, Sunwell, that zone, there's four zones right there, just make them a bit bigger. Or even make Silvermoon its own zone, its big enough if you repair it too (and expand).

[Mokenuf]

I can't believe it did not leak, that was EPIC.

[Santandame]

I think if you're at the point where Metzen announcing basically the end of WoW and multiple expansions at once seems lame then you're way too irony poisoned for anything to ever hype you up.

I think that’s an extremely big assumption to make just because someone isn’t a fan of what has been presented so far. Not everyone has to be hyped to the extreme over the new shiny reveal. Everyone’s entitled to their opinion and we all have different things we’d be excited for and underwhelmed for.

There’s several things I’d have been excited for, as I’ve detailed in this thread several times. What seems to be a half baked underground expansion devoid of well known names and underground locations in the lore, no new class, and an allied race that no one asked for is not something I would get excited for. If you do - more power to you and I wouldn’t tell you that you’re wrong for it.

The art direction is nice and I like the idea of “class skins” but that’s as far as my enthusiasm goes.

It’s not a very appealing concept to me in the slightest whatsoever at the moment. But to say I’m too irony poisoned to be hyped for anything Warcraft related is just an obnoxious point to make.

The fact sheet in the presskit near the bottom gives a nice dive.
