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

[Nymrohd]

I think Wyrmrest will be the natural hub. DF was the introduction to the new storyline, Iridikron is bound to show up and if we are facing the Titans, it is all hands on deck. Wyrmrest is close to the middle of Northrend

Also beta opt in when they already sold beta access? I am just not sure they will be able to serve that. I remember some people only got in beta for MoP in the last 2 months. This beta is likely going to be shorter and they have a legal obligation to who knows how many paying customers.

I feel like Wymrest is too small to be a "Hub city" its just one tower and not a very big one at that, you could fit the entire tower inside the Valdrakken tower

Curve-ball - the hub is Strand of the Ancients

Well, who knows how it will look in a revamp though. I assume Northrend will be scaled up. Maybe the ice around it has receded revealing the entire building (it clearly extends below the ice after all)

I think they will do something in Borean Tundra, maybe the two faction areas are made much larger. Dragonblight would be too repetitive and it's PROBABLY not a mega-Dalaran, but it could be.

seems like "this week in wow" is a thing of the past now.

I wouldn't be surprised if they skip this week, given the attempted secrecy regarding the apparent start of Alpha.

Would be glad to be wrong though, I'm hoping to see the remaining Hero Specs first and it'd be great to know when to expect them.

Or you know, Steve who usually write it is kinda more busy for few weeks.

As much as I love Dalaran. Please do not give us Dalaran 3.0

[Raetary]

So...

Lich King 4.0 (sans Helm)
Dragons
Scarlet Crusade and Avaloren

What else could there be in TLT?

Titans
Iridikron
Nexus Shenanigans
Scourge Remnants
Nerubians
Loa in Zul'Drak/Some more troll content
Vrykul/Titanforged/Giants
Freya/Eonar shenanigans in Sholazar

considering its size and where its situated, I could see Wintergrasp updated to be a hub

Wintergrasp as a hub would be pretty damn perfect.

[Valysar]

I hope I'll be in the very first alpha wave, like DF.

This popularity thing has send me down the rabbit hole and i pluged a list from the wiki with all the important warcraft characters and went to google to see the results.

for anyone interested:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...=0&single=true

This list needs to be taken with a huge load of salt. as some names seems to be way higher up then they should be, but this is caused by generic parts in their name. Like Dar'khan Drathir is very high up, due to the khan in is name, leading all kind of results about khans.

I think they will want to so something a bit more radical with Northrend than what's being suggested here, tbh. Everyone's pretty much just listing repeats of what we had in WotLK.

I'm thinking like... if things went south in Midnight, why and what was it? How does it lead to TLT?

Did an army of the Light overrun us? Is Northrend the new base of operations for some mega army with Odyn at the helm?

[Treegdar]

Towelliee and Max both tweeted no stream till Wednesday. Guessing NDA's drop then with Alpha either at same time or the next day.


Edit: Tali & evitel also tweeted about a work trip and said, "see you on Wednesday". So Alpha and/or press NDA ends Wednesday. Pce till then

i guess This Week In WoW is just not a thing anymore

I'm thinking the big change will be that Odyn connnects the Halls of Valor to Ulduar somehow as they were originally the same facility, and maybe they will make the whole thing fly.

Besides that, not really too much in the way of zone changes, except for a way to get to Iridikron's lair.

I think when something really big is planned for the week, they won't post the article anymore
But... meh

[doledippers]

I think they just don't want to post this article when something "big" is coming in the week.
But... meh

yeah i get that, but whats even the point then? an 'what to expect' post for each week that never includes big news? idk seems dumb to me

They will. Nostalgia factor. But at least we can hope for epic Silvermoon in MD.

[Enrif]

Unlikely, but what if Icecrown Citadell will be the playerhub for TLL?

Well, an Odyn lead titanforged army will almost certainly happen, as he'll just suck up to Aman'thul.

As for things going south, since Legion the Titans pretty much ignored an Old God resurgence that almost succeeded, they also ignored Handsome Squidward the Janitor sexually assaulting the World Soul, and they are not coming back until after Xal claws her way down the Coreway and the Void starts their biggest invasion since the Black Empire.

So i'd say, its safe to say the event that will happen and really only event that would convince them to abandon the SotP and return to Azeroth is if the World Soul becomes compromised and is on the brink of destruction.

[Nymrohd]

Why not. It's big enough, it's definitely impressive. It does have too strong a theme though given that the expac is unlikely to be about undeath in any major way.
