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

[Keyalios]

No "new" race. We're getting allied yes but they're still just the dwarf models.

Unless Nerubian allied race later on.

[Cheezits]

Doomposting aside, does anyone feel like we're approaching the end of wow not only when it comes to lore but as game in general? Might be copium or delusion, but i feel like they're working on wow2

Even if they go for Wow2 they have been emphasizing player progress, so I assume all stuff would carry over.

"Slayer" and "colossus" names for warriors hero system sound kinda boring when it comes to just imagining it, mountain thane is pretty good tho.

I know, blade master is right there!

[Baraden]

What part of next 20 years did you not understand?

One expansion every 6 years?

WoW =/= Warcraft

The only logical reason to announce 3 expansions at once is because the thing after that is simply colossal, you couldn't announce just one after announcing the previously 3

So after the Last Titan, it's gonna be whatever WoW 2 is - and I say this as someone who always argues against a WoW 2

[Makabreska]

There's nothing about time travel here. What are you on about?

It's his expansion reveal ritual. For next few months he will be doing salty posts in threads like this, saying how Dracthyr/Earthen/Elves are ruining the game and how out of touch devs are.

Would it need to? It's a new game

The way they emphasised the term "Void Hunter" makes me fear that that will be our next class...

Ethereal Void Hunter for 12.0 would be dope & ties into their story

If we kill Alleria, do you thinl Vereesa will have a proper model?

This feels like the finale of the warcraft saga. The big overarching story at least.

I do like the idea of them continuing on with adventures afterword, without the massive cosmic war looming over everything. Just...adventuring through redridge mountains as innocently and purely as I did in vanilla.

[bitterwinter]

I do have to agree after the three xpacs there might be something new for WoW. Could be wrong, but the Last Titan sounds quite..definitive.

I like your avatar, you seem cool, but honestly if you don't like the game anymore just hang up your hat. No sense in being made more irritated by something that won't change.

No, i like the game, the mechanic part of it, i still played until shadowlands, because i like to do ingame stuff, like farming collectives, doing pvp, grinding some mounts. I will probably still buy one month of gametime just to do that now and then.

What pisses me off is the lore and the direction of the game, shit that can be easy solved if the twats in charge gave two shits about it.

Its no fucking secret that Horde want ogre as playable race FOR YEARS since TBC, why these fuckers though that getting dwarf, making human size and adding to both faction was a good idea? instead fo adding races that people want?

I don't see what Blizzard is trying to go for pushing these Anduin-Arthas comparisons.

ITs so people on twitter can do many reaction with fake surprise and fake emotions, like when disney was pushing "ashoka the white"

[Baraden]

Except he has been turning not-so-nice since SL.

After all, last we heard of him, it turned out that he actually liked hurting people.

Which I imagine is a big part of his current arc and will be explored in WW

[Varodoc]

Azshara as the final boss of Midnight would make sense, but what is Alleria's purpose then?

My guess?

She will either continue being a major protagonist, and lead the Ren'dorei in the defence of Quel'Thalas.

Or she will get a villain arc and ultimately be the catalyst for the Void return, probably ending with her death ("At the hour of her third death, she ushers in our coming").

I'm not opposed to the second one happening; I just want Alleria to be badass on-screen, if it means she gets villain-batted, so be it. I actually enjoyed the Corrupted Stormwind Vision because it was cool to see Void-turned Alleria and her forces utterly wreck Stormwind.

But if they want to replace Alleria then they better start developing Magister Umbric, because the Void elves have literally no other character besides these two.

[Dnusha]

Azshara is small fry compared to who we should be facing in midnight.

I think it's going to be the other way around. They'll keep azshara, illidan and sargeras for the later since they have a story together while also being popular characters. xal'atath and iridikron on the other hand are relatively new characters and are expendable.

[JDBlou]

If we kill Alleria, do you thinl Vereesa will have a proper model?

We can only hope but be subtle about it, we do not wish to anger the leader of the Cult of Alleria...

[Baraden]

Alleria is getting a new model, she's safe for a bit

[Reive]

What part of next 20 years did you not understand?

20 more years of warcraft doesn't mean necessarily 20 more years of wow. Game is old, they probably want to try to invest into a fresh game that belongs to the same ip

[Yarathir]

Everyone has a right to dislike whatever, but don't you think it's kind of rude to force that opinion on people who are actually liking what they see? There's a difference between saying "Not really digging it, it's not for me", and "You think this is good lol, let me tell you why it sucks". I mean there's two different agendas going on there.

Happens in gaming discussions all the time now. You can't just like something and someone else not like it. No, "I don't like it, therefore you are dumb for liking it."

[Le Conceptuel]

Holy shit, I honestly forgot it would be today. Seeing someone tell me "they revealed the next three expansions" on Discord hit like a fucking truck. Well, it doesn't seem too awful. A bit out of left field, not sure how I feel about the new logo style, but it's definitely interesting as a change of pace. Like that we're seeing more nerubian content. Delves seem enjoyable. Kind of sparse information, though. Not sure I'm an exceptionally big fan of them revealing exactly one allied race, though I've only seen the website thus far. Cautiously optimistic about what having an explicitly-named "Worldsoul Saga" means. Some of the design changes are a bit jarring, and I'm not sure where some of these locations are supposed to be; having the Arathi fight nerubians feels a bit odd, especially if they're meant to be under Dorn,—again, I'm not sure as I'm currently just reading the website,—and it does feel like they may just be using nerubians for want of some other Aqir race. I'm hoping they wind up playable, as the Earthern aren't quite my cup of tea. Big fan of the Hero Trees thing, though. That seems very fun. Same with making dynamic flying universal, though everybody saw that one coming.

All of those are small fry compared to who we should be facing, which are the void lords.
