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

[Eldryth]

Maybe they don't know that Azeroth is a titan, who knows

Most of them should. Four of the current Aspects (Alexstrasza, Kalecgos, Ebyssian, and Merithra) spent most of BFA helping Magni in the Heart Chamber, so the should be counted among the few people who are explicitly shown to know.

I still wouldn't read much into it, though. It could be as simple as considering Azeroth to be separate from the Pantheon, and her gifts being different (as each Aspect originally got unique gifts from different Titans). I wouldn't rule out learning that Azeroth is different from a Titan down the line, but I think they would have made a bigger deal about it if that were being revealed now.

“Some” is not enough for them, they want their “heavy metal” WoW whatever that means

I think a lot of posters on here should maybe accept WoW is not for them anymore and go do something else. Your constant whining is not interesting.

Uhm, the World Soul Saga? Hello?

Per that reddit thread with the spoiler, the OP confirmed the tree does come to reality. So nobody is reporting on it? lol

Awesome, that means I can talk about it.

Is the map the exact same...?

[Murlocos]

There's been a heavy misstep with cutscene prioritization as of late, which also makes me wonder how cutscenes originate within the development team and who has more pull over them, the narrative team vs. the cutscene team itself. Not sure if it's worthwhile for virtually all of DF's prerendered and in-engine cutscenes to consist of characters slowly talking to one another when that would have been perfectly serviceable in-game. I think the only standout instance where that worked was the 10.0.7 one with Emberthal and Ebyssian.

It's slightly different, it's not gotten to the point where I feel comfortable posting screenshots/minimap images yet because those are super easy to share and spoil people with as not many have finished the raid, but it's largely the same with the biggest difference being the northern part of the island (e.g. the part with the raid entrance) not having come to the overworld.

People are whining because they want change. I'm not gonna stop criticizing what I don't like about the current game.

That's a shame. So no fully grown tree.

Hopefully there's a settlement/city growing questline next patch.

[Marlamin]

Considering people have spoiled Sargeras stabbing Azeroth during Legion on Antorus' launch, I don't see why it's so important to hide spoilers this late into the day.

That's fine, I don't fully agree.

Yup, very much feels like that will be expanded upon in 10.2.5 and 10.2.7.

I don't like the idea that we will never ever have another Teldrassil-style city, but I guess it's just not feasible for WoW's engine.

I would've preferred they did some portal/instancing trick but I guess they want interconnected everything.

TBF the capital doesn't need to be on top of the tree.

Regardless, if the tree stays on the dragon isles which it sounds like it will, then it's completely useless. First it's not even it's own zone, 2nd its not a capital city. Actually useless. They had 2 years of people telling them where they wanted the new tree to be and they couldn't give a rats ass.

I think it's pretty obvious by now that they're not gonna create new capital cities outside of expansion specific ones. They want you in Orgrimmar or Stormwind.

[Arcinatoss]

man, that cinematic sucked balls.. the dialogue is just so so terrible.

[Harbour]

Both new cinematics (Raid and Vyranoth/Odyn ones) made me cringe and shake my head.

Azeroth the Titan is retconned, Titans are still 'muh baddies' (they literally saved our and Azeroth asses back in Legion btw), Vyranoth roflstomped Odyn (lmao?). None of that is good writing, all of that challenge previously established lore in a bad way.

I pray to god SL/DF writing team didnt write TWW.

upd: oh and i forgot Odyn enslaving the storm dragons. this never was the case in legion. what a dumb retcon.

[Arcinatoss]

Maybe this dogshit writing is what the jailer was trying to warn us about.

Unironically, where did you think they came from?

So I got into one of the Liquid normal splits. Killed Fyrakk but nothing has changed for me in the over world. Its still just empty ocean. I haven't done this weeks campaign tho.

Are you indicating that the Jailer was actually a great character all along?
