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

Definitively, and a good one.

I hope that we do not kill Fyrakk. Although the name of the last chapter of the questline has to refer either to him or to Sabellian, as we already know who is going to be the black aspect, and they would not kill Wrathion; and I do not think that it is talking about the Sundered Flame.

I don't think we will kill fyrakk. He didn't to anything in the campaign (or outside) other than being a plotdevice for sabellian and wrathions conflict. It would be very sad for him to be gone without doing anything.

The Flame Extinguished could refer to Wrathion or Sabellian not becoming Aspects as well. Really hope we do not kill Fyrakk in a quest, that would be beyond stupid.

[Cheezits]

Looking forward to all the encrypted stuff today. End of the 10.1 campaign, the Blue quests, and Tyr quests should hopefully all be up.

My line of thought had been Fyrakk, as I was so adamant, but now I realize it is surely the Sundered Flame that it references. We should find out soon.

I maintain it means Sarkareth, as his group is literally called the Sundered Flame, and it'll end with making Ebyssian aspect, but we'll see. Killing off Fyrakk offhandedly would be pretty retarded.

[Khaza-R]

Why do people think Fyrakk is going to persist in the story? Because he was under-utilized or something?

Dude is pretty much the personification of the corruption of the Black Dragonflight at this point. I think the writing is on the wall that he's going to be "extinguished" by the trio of black dragons and them ending that tainted part of their father's legacy.

I'd at least expect the Aspect to be... crowned? somewhere between now and the end of the Augmentation spec backstory. Would be weird to have a buff based on an entity that doesn't exist yet.

[Ersula]

I'm hoping the long maintenence today means the Diablo event is going to start today. If it lasts 4 weeks it will encompass the D4 release.

Yes, he's entertaining and multiple chapters were spent on a buff for him, with an unbuffed Incarnate taking up a raid and a world event based on him being alive and preparing something. It's not outside the realm of possibility for Blizzard to instead kill him in one chapter while John Dracthyr got to be a raid boss, but given how they're slaves to PR, see also Denathrius, and the obvious idiocy of doing so, I doubt it.

@huth

Yeah, I see Ebyssian getting the seat this patch, there's no other place for Aug evokers to get an appropriate icon.

Because killing off a major villain in a patch where he did minimal things is dumb? And because there is basically nothing that points to him dying so far?
And because the writing is much more on the wall for Sarkareth and his followers, who are fully beaten this patch. Damn, i wonder what "A FLAME, extinguished" could mean when the main villains of the patch are called "Sundered FLAME". Surely it must be the villain who was not the main focus this patch.

I mean yes, theres still a possibility that he dies. But its not the most likely one, all things considered.

Did the Jailer, Lady Ashvane, Elisande, the majority of wow villains write this?

[Kiivar86]

While I do agree now its the Sundered Flame that's being referenced, I would say that Fyrakk's still a main focus. He's the entire reason we go down in the first place, this patch brought his assaults, like half the campaign is dealing with him. That's pretty main focus if you ask me.

[Marlamin]

Also, no questline? Damn

Well, something related to it got decrypted.

[Marlamin]

Bruh. When is it gonna come out?

Looks like next week, the thing that got decrypted is Kalecgos having a "Blue dragons arrive in 7 days" countdown above his head.

[unbrained]

Wait soo the last chapter of the 10.1 campaign is not live in us??

[Throren]

Hurray, even 'more' timegating

[Polybius]

That’s so hilarious. At least there’s dialogue in-game for it.

[Throren]

That answers the question for the blue dragon quest, but what about the tree? the quest regarding Tyr? Weren't all of those supposed to be in 10.1?

[Cheezits]

I bet the last campaign quest is accessible or supposed to be accessible, if the Blue Dragons are out next week. Why ship them at the same time?

Unless the idea is that the last campaign quest is the very last questline of the patch.

[Dracullus]

This week we should get Blizzcon news, probably first wave of tickets + date. On May 4th Ybarra said we will hear something around next 2 weeks. And it's perfect time, end of May will be likely full Diablo focus.
