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

[Makorus]

There is no way they made Iridikrons Lair be underneath Northrend to not have it show up for the Northrend expansion.

[milkmustache]

I unironically expect this to happen with how Iridikron is positioned as a baddie. His lair is a massive expansion of caves he carved himself, perfect for a raid.

Totally. Harrowsdeep just screams perfect raid material.

I fully expect 12.0's first raid/patch to be a raid about Iridikron killing multiple members of the Pantheon. Maybe all of them!

[Alanar]

Well until the unstable matter that makes up there body turns them into beings of pure entropy.

Just versions of the same race.

All came from high elves and that high elven look can still be achieved, even if you are a void elf. They are a version of the same race, just slightly altered. There isnt much else to it.

Or..a new hub as we join him in killing the titans

And then sargeras comes along in the finale of the fight to show him what a true titan is and crush his dreams and hopes of killing them all as he crushes him into charred pebble.
And maybe turn his lair into a volcano that would be cool.

Yeah, people forget that Midnight is supposed to end with twist and we discover "deep conspiracy" in TLT. We can't tell now who will be enemy and who ally in the end.

[Raetary]

I know it's minor, but since they are updating the character select screen with the camp, i hope they update the old core race backgrounds while they are at it.

They desperately need a fresh coat of paint.

Your whole body turning into anti matter isn’t a slight alteration, hell it’s a bigger alteration then a night elf going from a bear to a twink when turning into a high elf.

Illidan riding on Sargeras like Dr Strangelove

Just rewatched the BlizzCon opening ceremony again.

Man, I'm so hyped for the Worldsoul Saga. It feels like they have a real plan for once, and I love it.

There are so many things to look forward to, it's insane. To name a few:

- Isle of Dorn looks amazing
- Alleria's new look and story
- Void Elf customisation
- Arathi story and transmog
- Hallowfall's airships and churches
- Those roots in Azj-Kahet (world tree?)
- New class/race combos must surely be coming
- Frigging Warbands, man
- Delves!!
- High Elven reunification!
- Quel'thalas in all its revamped glory
- Forest Trolls?
- Ulduar 2.0!
- Sexy worldsoul
- Hero Talents have so much potential
- and mooore!

If they end up giving us new character customisation (significant ones), new races for Paladins and Druids, player housing, playable Vrykul, true High Elves, and perhaps a HD refresh of Old World textures, then I'll never ask for anything ever again. It'll be peak WoW.

Could be so, but my point still stands.

[milkmustache]

Is there currently any indication on the PTR of some form of final resolution of the Windtotem Tribe story in the Ohn'ahran Plains?

To cite some older lore, elves' physical form is inherently magical. So void elves are essentially just switching their attunement from fel, nature, arcane or holy magic to void. It's as big of a change to a human going gluten-free. Just like when the fel tainted sunwell the elves fed upon was purified a lot of blood elves barely noticed.

I still hope that's the case. I think Iridikron is a more interesting character than any of the titans bar Sargeras, and the Titans are a more interesting "villain".

None of the other elfs started growing extra bits or shifting between a body made up of said magic other then the ones who because demons.

Night elfs got frailer and paler when turning to high elfs, night bourn just got frailer, blood elfs just had there eyes change, all of these are lesser changes then when happened to void elfs. But if you wanted to say all elfs are the same as jsut being elfs then sure I’d agree to that but If your going to split them up then so to should Void elfs be split.

Nothing that I can see.

[Lahis]

I get this thinking...but doesn't he need to be a Dalaran Citizen? I suppose he could be. But that would also bend the astutely neutral dalaran extremely far toward the Alliance.

Council of Six has been very alliance flavoured ever since Sunreaver was kicked out by Jaina. Umbric beign there doesn't really change things.

...and then they fired her. Because she did that.

[micwini]

Sunreaver is most obvious for new 6th member, as they reinstated the blood elf (sunreaver) guards back on PTR as well.

Bummer. Maybe in a later build? Was really hoping to see it culminate in a full Tauren settlement there. 10.2.7 has to be the last opportunity for it.
