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

Huge news, you can make awesome mogs with them now, and old dwarves as well. I hope we get the recolors as well.

A mog I did with the stormrider set

[Nymrohd]

That's smooth as fuck. You'd think it was motion captured.

Someone should have motion-captured Bobby Farrell

Not much datamining huh. New build adding a ton of new content and all we can manage is a dozen posts in 3 hours?

Not every build's going to be massive. Its a long ride.

Male Earthen Dance

I'm pretty sure this is the smoothest animation in WoW, it's so seamless it's actually impressive

[Foolicious]

Could it be a flashback scenario or #spoilers?

Probably related to tww story. There is also a less glowy magni model that indicates that something is happening with him. And in my opinion it would be more likely for magni to have some heavy armor if it was a flashback.

I don't think they would make a whole custom model with new beard assets just for a flashback, unless they are adding those new beards and hair textures to playable dwarves.

[Throren]

So yes its confirmed in the Ringing Deeps questline Magni becomes fleshy

TL;DR The Earthen High Speaker turned to the void and became Skardyn and then corrupted the Awakening Chamber in the ringing deeps, where where new Earthen are made and waiting to be awakened - in an attempt to make it so any current and any future Earthen all become Skardyn

Magni sacrifices his titan power to cleanse the corruption from the chamber



After the scenario, when you zone back in, Magni si now standing there in his (Obviously placeholder) WOTLK model

Azeroth can just juice him up again. No problem.

[Xilurm]

Does that mean he will return as King of Ironforge though? That should make sense right? He is the rightful ruler.

[Scyth]

Aww Magni and Azeroth broke up

Time to farm some azerite for magni!

I guess not. If they follow fantasy tropes he will say something like "after what i have seen it became clear that kingdoms mean nothing".
And if they don't do that i think he is fine with dagran becoming king sometime soon(ish). It's his heir after all.

[Throren]

That plot point has already been cleared up since Magni awoke pre-legion. He already said multiple times he has no interest in taking back his throne, made up with his daughter and reconciled and is pretty on board with Dagran being the future king

Fleshy Magni

Damn, why can't we have this quality of beard forr dwarves.. Also over the board long beards.

Even new earthen beards look low res compared to this, magni hair/beard textures are smooth as fuck.

This is partially intentional, as the Earthen ones are metal wires/carved stone not actual hair.

Oh ye i know their beads are stylized but still, hard to explain it in english to me, but just the beard textures and smoothes on new magni model just makes them much more "wow cartoony" style like, i guess.

Doesn't seem like we will get many new customizations in TWW as of now sadly, so i hope they will have another go at the models in midnight, i think it's been another 10 years since last update.

Its Wrathion/Ebonhorn all over again. And I like that. Dagran II should be one of the main characters and go adventuring, Magni should rule.
Old guard retirement, as Malf/Tyrande, as Genn, as Turalion, as Thrall, I beleive.

Maybe its call for massive time skip?

[Kiivar86]

Aww Magni and Azeroth broke up

She left him on read for years, it seems.

[Xilurm]

Not really. We already have new characters that are the right age for them to start taking the spotlight. It's like WC3 all over again.

[Fahrad Wagner]

Magni returning to being a flesh dwarf instead of a diamond one wasn't in my cards for TWW, but I really like it!
