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

This is quite interesting.

How do people feel about Galakrond appearing as a meal/powerup rather than as a boss in his own right?

For me, it seems a little cheap or that the dev's didn't count on how much interest there would be in addressing Galakrond in a dragon expansion and have since found a way to include the character somewhat tangentially.

Still, looking forward to 10.1.5 more and more each day.

Galakrond’s scale sees to it that he’s better as a plot device than he would be as an encounter.

Edit: Just went to PTR and they added red eyes for grommash and it just occured to me that i won't be able to fight grommash on my main orc..

With cross factions you could proabbly just have an alliance party leader and then go smack him around on horde toons.

Said it a couple times and I’m sticking with it.

Iridikron’s goal is to consume the essence of each of the major cosmic powers. He’s being built up as an overarching villain for the overall story of WoW. He’ll consume essence of Decay/Death from Galakrond in the mega dungeon, as well as Life in the Dream, with his hunger leading him to Light, Fel, Void and Order in the future.

He’s joining the camp of Azshara, Denathrius, Xal’atath and Sargeras as future big time villains that can operate over the greater story. All the while continuing to give us a draconic threat, replacing Deathwing so to speak but on grander scale.

I do rather like that idea, building up an overarching enemy like that.

I don't mind really. I've always thought he was simply way too big to be an appropriate fight.

Was any loot from megadungeon datamined? Or nothing in there yet?

I wonder what Lothar and Grommash will drop, i know what i would like grommash to drop but when it comes to lothar i wonder if he will have some unique weapon drop..

[Nymrohd]

The Paracausal trinkets match the Time Rifts so they probably come from that, not the megadungeon

I think the last five are all from the dungeon.

Yeah that's what was coming to mind. Its been a while and I do remember her eventually in her Naga form but I couldn't recall if she first appeared in a sort of "form you are familiar with" way.

Unrelated but I saw a post on the wow subreddit this morning, though it seems to be gone, that showed Iridikron from the dungeon saying word for word one of the lines from that Naga Harbinger book, specifically saying "A hunger lost to the ages will be reclaimed." Found it, though it may be removed soon, Iridikron quotes it and then says "One which I shall reclaim!" so...yeah he's after Galakrond's hunger it seems?

"A dark heart left broken awaits the taking."

Any guesses?

Whatever remains of the heart of Y'Shaarj? I have no idea.

[Kiivar86]

Whatever remains of the heart of Y'Shaarj? I have no idea.

Does anything even remain? Far as I recall all that was left was a puddle of goo that dissipates.

Doesn't mean it can't still be around in some form though, I suppose.

[Cheezits]

Oh right, it may tie into an older prophecy line.

"Her heart is a crater and we have filled it."

Maybe it refers to Gorribal/Silithus?

If Iridikron wants to go around devouring every energy source, Gorribal can definitely feed him Fel.

Didn't we cleanse Gorribals corruption with our Artifacts?

It's still a giant sword used by Sargeras, there must be some Fel in that thing.

[Aeluron Lightsong]

Or just small amounts that don't do much to Azeroth. I'm not sure if Iridakron is even doing the whole "Gathering all the cosmic energies to be a epic high class villain along the void lords/Sargeras/Zovaal(Well if he was alive that is xD)"

[Cheezits]

This playthrough shows that Iridikron is siphoning Galakrond's essence into "something that looks like the Dragon Soul, but older".

Also it doesn't seem to show Nozdormu turning into Murozond.

He knew what he was doing when he wrote those lines, in character for goblins or not.

Ya and what he was ding was great, not his fault the horrible suits who run the place are so thin skinned.

Venture Company is and has always been a extreme satire of corporate greed.

If Blizzard Suits look at that and see a reflection of themselves to the point they feel offended, they should re-evaluate their lives.

It's a shame there's no balls because we all know how Galakrond got that powerful in the first place, it even got brought up in this expansion so it's not like they forgot. If Iridikron wanted that power source they should've had us interrupt him midway through chowing down on a big heart.
