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

[Santandame]

Early access will create some crazy bad press.

There’s no defending it. Just the cherry on top for me currently.

[kavikor]

Interesting stuff.

Wasn't expecting hero talents or class skins. Earthen AR isn't particularly interesting but it could be a sign there will be future ones in new content patches like in BfA

I'll say the hero talent thing makes me feel like they are going to have fun with letting our characters just become OP over the next 3 expansions before a total reset.

i feel like we will get more but also hyped for earthen

[Varodoc]

They're not going to spoil their expansion's ending during the expansion reveal.

N'Zoth did not demand the empty Blade of the Black Empire for fun or because he likes blades.

It's because he knows it can hold powerful souls and he wanted a contingency since he knew the player would use the Forge of Origination nuke on him (DF confirms this).

[Keyalios]

Magni is finally going into a woon himself!

[Hitei]

That's Nathria. The design of the hill castles, the light destroying the sky.

Half this expansion is Shadowlands underground. You have the anima power, the Torghast 2.0, Revendreth and Maldraxxus.

Is Gilneas just storm Nathria?

[Yarathir]

Until they decide they aren't

Which is when Xal'atath resurrects them, right?

[Teriz]

Tinkers are confirmed as a hunter hero class.

Where? I’d like to see that.

Also congrats to those who wanted Dark Rangers. Looks like you finally got them.

[Mysticdoll]

The dragonflight cinematic and announcement were nice but actually having xhaltath as a villain and a actual direction for the game lore and why we fighting certain enemies gives me much more hype

the saga thing kind of seems like how classic bc and wrath were the Warcraft 3 saga

[Keyalios]

Ain't no way my Belves will ally with a Velf. Especially one that hates Belves.

[Santandame]

That's you opinion, me and many of my friends are hyped.

As are many of mine (underwhelmed)It’s funny how that works, opinions.

I'm excited for the return of Manduin. It's just a shame that they cast his voice actor for when he was a teenager and he still has the same voice now. Maybe they could use a computer to make it slightly deeper and it would be great.

He might get recast with an older voice actor by the time we see his older appearance, presumably by expansion 2 since that's then one about the final defeat of the Void and we know that Anduin is an old man when that happens.

[Wangming]

Alleria x Xal'atath ship?

[Cheezits]

Alleria will 100% will become the new Harbinger at the end

I mean, maybe N'zoth is coming back yeah, but Metzen also literally said there will be major spoilers in this reveal. Its pretty much inevitable when you reveal 3 xpacs in a row.

[Keyalios]

Notice how he keeps saying the FIRST 20 years?

[Hitei]

Notice how he keeps saying the FIRST 20 years?

Metzen already said multiple times they were setting up future stuff.

[Jodmos]

Which is when Xal'atath resurrects them, right?

More like they can't be trusted when they say anything regarding the game. If something cool comes up they'll retcon

[infinitemeridian]

So...where's Ion?

[ercarp]

I just wanna say that this was probably the most insane presentation for WoW ever. I can see why they said Warcraft was the biggest this year.

I'm also really happy with everything I heard, especially in terms of story. That cinematic with Anduin and Thrall felt more mature in a way that I really liked. Somehow I feel like maybe the story of WoW might be in good hands again...? Fingers crossed.

Bringing Metzen back on stage was a gigabrain move as well. This was the most attention I've ever paid in any BlizzCon ever. He has a way of making people listen.

10/10!

[Keyalios]

So...where's Ion?

In the basement.
