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

[Val the Moofia Boss]

One thing missing from Quel'thalas is verticality. Vertical development of zones is extremely important for Dragon Riding to work. Sure you can use your vigor to climb up and then sustain but it is far more satisfying to be able to go off from a high altitude (and you'd need to wait for vigor constantly when trying to herb/mine if the land is very flat).

A solution to this could be some form of flying landmass.
Also I think the Amani area can be expanded significantly. Making Zul'Aman a steep hill could give us more vertical areas.

Redesign the cityscape zone of Quel'thelas (and what other cities are retconned in) to have very tall buildings, almost like skyscrapers. Redesign Eversong woods to be tall like the Emerald Dream woods.

While Metzen might love Paladins, don't forget his favourite character is Malfurion. And look how he has been treated since WC3.

That doesn’t mean he would be willing to destroy what we know of an stablished character for some villain batting. Honestly light whorshipping fanatical empire in a new land is the biggest red herring I have seen in a while. We are not going to do twice the light is bad expansion so we will probably blame some catastrophe on the arathians when a portal to their realm is permanently stablished

They don't need to redesign the city for that.

Silvermoon already consists of tall buildings and spires.
Most of belven architecture is very narrow andvertical, and also floats more often than not.

Anduin captured again after just one expansion?

It seems that he is begging to be corrupted and killed by the mighty heroes of Azeroth...

Unlikely. Plus he totally has to survive to go fetch Sylvanas from the Maw in Midnight

[CrossNgen]

I think people are way too worked up on the current in-game scale of Quel'Thalas, it's going to be much bigger come Midnight since it's all going to be separated from the rest of the Eastern Kingdoms, while also still looking the same size when viewed on the map.

It's stupid. The scale of things in-game is all over the place anyway, and rarely even the same across various places. Trying to argue anything with it is silly.

So what's with Faerin's left arm (or lack thereof) anyway? I kinda figured the missing arm would be replaced by something like maybe, I dunno, a hardlight sorta limb.

But its looking more like that shield is just...attached to her shoulder, I guess?

[Nibelheimy]

Shield glued to shoulder is dumb AF.

I was hoping she'd get a arm made of holy fire GOT style after doing something heroic defending the crystal so Anduin could see the light do something. But nah.

(credit to keyboardturn on twitter for the pic)

You can see there is like a metal clasp where the shield attached to the shoulder, which seems to be on a sort of track to allow it to slide to the front

One of the guy's in Hallowfall mentioned finally getting a prosthetic arm prototype working but she turns him down cause she states she has already learned how to do everything in her life, including fighting, with one hand. And if she got a prosthetic now, she'd have to spend who knows how long re-learning how to do everything again.

[Alanar]

My point exactly.

Its not a good argument from the guy. It makea no sense.

Ahh thanks, must have missed that.

It is nice they have a clasp there and it details that but it does just look odd at a distance.

That said, while I did envision a hardlight limb (or something else sufficiently magical), I do kinda like her not simply replacing the limb and acting as if it is just the normal limb, just not flesh.

Yea, exactly... again and so soon.

Ita a meme really at this point.

[Dracullus]

It will be honestly interesting how the naga play into Midnight, if at all.

Personally I expect elven theme (Eversong, uniting "tribes"), undead theme (Ghostlands, Sylvanas returning) and troll theme (yep, troll raid for S1), then Karesh for S2 (would be weird to make whole expac about it, but would be nice place to learn how to beat Void) and Sunwell for finale. Not sure about 4th zone, or maybe just first two will be pure Quel'Thalas like first two in TWW are about Dwarves.

I don't think whole zone dedicated to Naga fits at all, but of course I expect Azshara involvement, unless she isn't interested with working for Void (or fighting it) after Nyalotha.

[Auxis]

Do you think she can she maneuver the shield much with her stump? Or is it just sorta there to protect her left side?

there are animations of it moving.

Hmm, alright, my opinion's improved a bit, they have put thought into this at least.

Interesting. Didn't expect her to have that much range of movement with it.

[ImTheMizAwesome]

I already like her more than anduin.

[Raetary]

I haven't seen much of her dialogue yet, so idk whether she has the personality of a damp noodle or if she's somewhat interesting.

But i do really like her design a lot.
