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

[Wazooty]

I definitely think we'll see the end of Thrall at some point in this saga.

Yeah, with the greying hair I'm getting strong old mentor passing away for the younger generation vibes.

Uldaz. We are told that the earthen are along a road to the core but we don't get to the core. The core is the final zone and likely raid.

That's true, I thought the road was to the other zones but it would make sense if the core is another zone entirely.

Same with iridikron, doubt he won't see the return of the titans

Iridikron likely will be fought at the Harrowsdeep in the Northrend revamp in last titan. I expect we might see him but won't really interact much with him before that. What I am really wondering is what Azshara will do.

[Marlamin]

on other news. They said dynamic flight will be available in the new zones.
A - i wonder if we get new glyphs and new abilities on top of the ones we have, or how it will work
B - whats with the rest of the world.

The pre-order mount already has a unique dynamic flying ability/mechanic, so they're definitely experimenting in this department already.

[Ersula]

I think they will get all classes except DH/DK, Paladin and maybe Druid, but they may go hard and give them unique druid forms because of their connection to the Dream.

How are the Drakthyr connected to the dream? They can be green, but they're not actually Emerald dragons.

I don't think we're seeing Yrel anytime during the Worldsoul Saga.

The "your garrison was destroyed/turned into a base for evil, all your friends and everyone you worked with or saved has been enslaved or killed or driven into hiding" was a very sour, unsatisfying note to leave AU Draenor on. I wouldn't be surprised if that was retconned away as a possible future, an our AU Draenei friends came back to join us in the final battle against the Void.

What features? Seems to me like 11.0 will have all the features it needs bar the world revamp.

Admittedly I might be blinded by the increasing possibility I will be able to Transmog all armor, but still.

I mean I think it's ok, apart from the transmog thing we have the new mode for 1-5 people for those people that wanted more content for solo players. New zones which are really pretty and the standard 8 dungeons+raid. The heroic talents looks good for the fantasy of each class. I see the new expansion very solid. Couldn't see anything I didn't like honestly.

The new login screen is also georgeous. I hope we can choose the place shown in the login screen and select the characters we want to appear.

Because the Green power Prevokers (and everyone through emerald blossom) use is direct Dream power?

[Well Done Steak]

Their size makes them awkward for melee classes, but I can see them being Priests, Mages, Warlocks & Druids (because of the shapeshifting)

If a gnome can be a warrior so can a dracthyr I'm sure

[CasualFilth]

Same with iridikron, doubt he won't see the return of the titans

I think Iridikron would be 11.1 (final) boss.

[Nymrohd]

HS Duos look like crap. the crowd is so silent.

Thrall won't die. There are no other Orcish characters that the audience cares about who can replace him. Etrigg is too obscure and only known to oldtimers who read out of print books.

Omg yes plz, I feel like that's where we're headed now that we can blanket unlock

But he has to see the titans return!

And what's to say we'll need a replacement when the saga concludes? They'll go all in on this. Someone of significance is not going to make it.

I'm guessing they;ll try to build up Aggra if they go this route. Given that it's started with her becoming the Earth Warden? (can't remember what it was called)

[LemonDemonGirl]

Wait, when are we supposed to be getting Heritage armor? I need to see the Troll one lol

[Myrrh]

Iridikron likely will be fought at the Harrowsdeep in the Northrend revamp in last titan. I expect we might see him but won't really interact much with him before that. What I am really wondering is what Azshara will do.

Oh shit, you're 100% right on Harrowsdeep. Had forgotten all about that. I'm so in with this. Wonder if he'll claim a Titan scalp then be forced to retreat back into his lair.

Re: Azshara, getting a real sussy feeling about Metzen's 'it all goes to shit' vibes about the end of Midnight. I could see Azshara not actually appearing until right at the end and being the catalyst that distorts everything enough to bait the Titans out.

[Puupi]

Legion had a crap ton of features.

On top of the culmination of an epic story with Illidan, and a beautiful world in the Broken Isles, we got Artifacts, Class Halls, and a bunch more.

And most importantly, m+

[CrossNgen]

Dragonflight really was a buffer expansion, huh?

[Varodoc]

The big feature of Midnight will probably be Lordaeron revamp.

Not just Quel'Thalas; the entire Lordaeron subcontinent.

The major storyline will be about the Void invasion of Quel'Thalas, but it's still an expansion, presumably it will have multiple patches and B plotlines going on besides the main one.

So Blizzard won't ignore what's south of Quel'Thalas; we'll likely see the Void invade other parts of Lordaeron too. Plus, people have wanted revamped Stratholme for so many years, what better way than the Worldsoul conclusive saga of 20 years of story development?
