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

Aww Magni and Azeroth broke up

She left him on read for years, it seems.

[Xilurm]

Maybe its call for massive time skip?

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.

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

[Samin]

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

That's just Stiven goofing around on twitter and putting Magni's collection geoset meshes on his new model for fun. Pretty sure the new model will have normal armour with no diamond left (You can see the foot cliping out of the boot where Stiven overlaped them)

Also the beard, I feel like the beard is the more obvious clipping issue that would be a kind of more "logistical" issue to ever get this set working with his beard (I don't claim to know how it even worked for crystal Magni). I assume he might wear one of the new (civilian?) Earthen sets for the time being.

Those new Voidweaver animations look amazing. The rift one especially.

Shamans, meanwhile, still stuck in Cataclysm

That's a surprising turn of events, I thought they were just using magni in the story for the speaker powers and have an excuse for Moira and Dagran being in Dalaran at the start of the xpac. Then in the obvious scene where he would sacrifice himself, he's cured after being stoney since cata, and with a custom model as well! What are they planning to do with him after this??

[Jolly Roger]

i guess the last blizzcon wasn't as successful as they thought it would be.

or they want to milk more

last year they oversold tickets and the convention center were dicks

what makes more money
1 giant convention for 4 games at 400 a pop
or
4 smaller convention tailored for each game at 300 a pop

you get fans of multiple IP going to multiple conventions

[Makabreska]

Yoooo dem appendages!

[Malorne the White Stag]

Yoooo dem appendages!

Give me tinkers! But these look awesome, hope we get them somehow

Man, the Isle of Dorn is so pretty. There's a video up on Meisio's YouTube channel which shows the island with ambient nature sounds in the background.

If you're chilling on one of those mountains, you can really see the sea all around you. Proper feeling of being on an island out at sea, for once. Coupled with the fact that horizons in WoW look better these days...

The island itself is so cleverly designed for this type of expansion, as well. A large, clearly visible blue sky without a bunch of clutter. That's really helpful when players need a break from the caves below. Everything looks really crisp and pleasant as well.

Can you fly away from that island and go somewhere or just another pocket area? It always feels like you are in some instanced area. No point in looking beyond the island if you get what I mean.

Imagine if when we wake up Azeroth, someone else gets to be speaker other than Magni. Maybe Thrall? It should be the player but that ain't happening.

[Reive]

if more and more people are hearing azeroth's voice, magni serves no purpose anymore.

[Civciv]

Well he sacrifices his titan power to save Hall of Awakening, so he's not really a speaker anymore.

[Raetary]

Wouldn't she just speak for herself then, no?

Magnis role as the speaker is already redundant with Azeroth reaching out on her own.

[Reive]

Well he sacrifices his titan power to save Hall of Awakening, so he's not really a speaker anymore.

yeah, that's the point. him losing his powers is no big deal because azeroth is already trying to reach out to people by herself

[Nymrohd]

Maybe Azeroth is tired of someone talking to her like a little girl? "Yes, I know you are ashamed cause you are a failure as a father but I'm a freakin PLANET, not a lass"

[dadori]

Hows the new zone opened this week ? aka the Ringing Deeps

[Alanar]

I mean, speaker of Azeroth always was kinda lame to begin with.
