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

[Nathanyel]

Nope. Was tested and it isn't.

To be expected. I wonder how many people voted for the S3 Tier bonus in the hopes it would mean an easy transition

What's the cost like when upgrading expansions to higher editions? Does it charge you the difference between the edition you have and the edition you want to upgrade to?

Trying to buy the middle tier TWW but both the launcher and browser are hitting me with "We encountered an issue completing your transaction. Please try again later. <didn't copy this part, basically try again later or click link for support article>".
I'm guessing it's on Blizz's end. I'm using a prepaid VISA which is the same brand I always use to purchase subs/things from BattleNet, and it definitely has the correct funds. And I'm pretty sure I've paid a similar price for previous expansions without issue.

So I'm hoping by paying smaller increments by upgrading, it will let the payments through.

I don't like how Wowhead phrased their article title, as even the bluepost stressed "eligible".

People are gonna read only the title and some words, then level an AR and complain they have to wait until the end of Timerunning to actually unlock it.

yeah but tbf thats WoWhead for you
they make 30 clickbait articles from a single source of information

Yes, you pay the difference between the different editions when upgrading.

Sweet, tyvm!

Faerin has a nice voice.

Her voice is lovely. Something unique, not another British or American voice, there's an accent there and I'm not quite sure what it is. I'm curious about her ears. Her last name is debatable as to what it means, but is she half elf? Was there a population of elves amongst the Arathi that traveled south?

And i saw people speculating about her shield arm. I wonder she's going to have her arm amputated from the elbow down, and her shield is strapped on to her upper arm? Because the shield sits VERY high up for it to be gripped normally, and I don't think this group of Arathor would be adherents of Tyr (as in, ceremoniously removing ones hand in reverence of Tyr).

They should've put emblems for the other Tier Set appearances on the cosmetic vendor.

total speculation

Xal is a void lord....kinda

her brothers tore her apart
she talked about Elune like she wasnt a big deal
she referred to nzoth as "the weakest of us "

she was a void lord and torn apart by the other lords
her fragments are the old gods we know now. Xal herself was the 5th and the first to be sealed but not by the titans.

When nzoth died Alleria said more voices joined the void meaning the voices are like a pool and each time a powerful void being dies the pool gets bigger. Why is this important?? Because Alleria isnt hearing the void but a void lord.

Xal also seems to have ties to the Ethereals whose planet was destroyed by a void lord. Xal is also gathering something from every old god we have defeated which could be her reclaiming her "essence".

So i think she is trying to reform the void lord she once was. We also have to think about how this might be the way void lords attack planets via sporing themselves and then consuming. Azeroth had major protection so instead of a war just plant some cancer.


Then we have Alleria herself,
She is a "void hunter" and linked to Xal somehow while also being her arch nemesis. Locus walker could be grooming alleria to be the perfect vessel for an awakened Xal who as of now is in a fake body.

Any idea, when we should expect the next alpha build and the next zone to test ?

I think I'm tired of all these stories where the main villain is trying to "body jump" into someone else. It feels like every main villan nowadays has some kind of body-jump plan. It's a very overused trope, even in Warcraft (Ner'zhul with Arthas, Sargeras with Illidan, Xal'atath herself in BfA).

Is Alleria that special, unique, and powerful that Xal'atath needs her body? Most fascinating, I am willing to entertain the idea.

[Grazrug]

Anything new on the heritage front?

[Hyrja]

10.2.7 ptr has been down for a week now. Wonder whats going on with that.

There simply isn't much to test. Questlines are hidden, Remix was tested as weekend event.

she is able to control the void
i see it as conditioning her body to be a vessel

Tomorrow with a new wave of invites

[Reive]

was the alpha cycle for dragonflight weekly or biweekly? i wonder if we're going to get a new zone this week

[Hyrja]

In the WoWCast last week, Ion said they're gonna do weekly builds with new zones etc

[Hitei]

I don't think it's ever been a consistent thing, it's updated as things are ready/necessary. Usually it's frequent early on and less frequent later on, but often the updates after big update weeks are relatively small.

It won't be tested so have to wait for live

Its up now with a new build btw

If they really force me to do SoO for Tusks on Remix I will do it but man just add them to the vendor for Bronze please. Just thinking about Siege makes me wanna puke.

Thinking about it it might be regular SoO bad luck protection because 20 SoO runs on remix seems like a lot.
