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

A lot of action in these leaks, especially in Azj-Kahet. Hope all these cinematic will be proper one, not those talking NPCs we too often had in DF.

And Ansurek is character is very similar to Shek'zeer.

No. Forest trolls hate elves too much. And with good reason.

While I won't disagree, if the faction is based on the Revantusk instead of the main Amani tribe, it could still work.

It is a bit odd. I haven't heard much either. Strange.

idk it feels like there was more coverage for the alpha of dragonflight

[Throren]

When I see this I can't help but think of Dragon's Dogma 2

Maybe that is the issue. I don't watch streams.

I think if they are taking this tone with Titans and keepers, Tyr was definitely planned to go crazy when they woke him up and the Titans were independent/Azeroth powered.

Neither do I. But there is also YouTube, every WoW content creator is covering Alpha news. You search for it, you will find it.

So the 2.5D cinematic will be about the spider queen? I thought they would give us more meaningful characters.

[allegrian]

I wont read the whole story spoilers, but it's a bit disspointing that thrall doesn't do anything, I expected him to be like the wise member of the group. I guess they had planned it with no thrall at all and included him last minute as Metzen came back.

Then why did they change direction with Tyr? Because of Metzen?

I believe it was confirmed it was Metzen's idea that Tyr should have his memories/soul when he came back. I could see the original idea being a Pet Sematary kind of thing where he wakes up robotic and fights the Dragons/player.

Him still being good at the end directly sets him up for a war with Odyn, but they may swap it and he reluctantly joins Odyn/the antagonist keepers in TLT.

The ultimate twist would be Odyn still being an ally.

Excited to see the Magni cinematic is labeled as an actual pre-rendered cinematic and not a real time cutscene

This will be the first time Dwarves have ever really been seen in any of those high quality cinematics save the less than 3 seconds of Magni going "The seat of the Panethon!" in legion. Actually they were the only main race that hasnt really been in one before

We don't know the context.

For all we know it could be a cinematic focused on Xal, with her manipulating Ansurek into betraying her mother.

[Reive]

imo there will be 3 2.5d cinematics (like always)

one about anduin
one about alleria
one about xal'athat/thrall

[Merryck]

Metzen is team Titan. Aman'Thul, sure, but I doubt he'd let them all be branded as villains.

I think he will have some buddies (Odyn) but I can see the reveal that the "conspiracy" is really all him via time loops and such. Or multiple versions of himself. Then again, Eonar may be trying to help Azeroth through the world trees, which implies she may know what's going on with her (that she's being imprisoned/transformed)

I miss the "Grandpa Illuminati" theories that he and the Jailer were in cahoots based on their original designs being similar (which has been moved to the Primus, who actually DID have a hint at knowing Aman'thul and this theory could still be in play)

Are they not already brainded?

[Cheezits]

Their souls/personalities are intact, they just talked like that in Legion because they were written as generic gods without personalities.

[Nymrohd]

My bet is we'll get at least 3 Titans on our side. Eonar obviously, probably Aggramar and imo one of Golganneth and Khaz'goroth. Aman'thul is clearly out and I assume Norgannon is probably the Order-aligned Titan that will survive as a future antagonist.
