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

[Ochinko]

Yeh, I dont want to admit it but another troll-like allied race? kinda meh. Liked the cinematic very much though.

[Vakir]

@Enrif

Looks like it's the World Soul. Man, who could've seen that coming? It was so ambiguous.

Unless now we're counting on Xal'atath to break the fourth wall to lie to us.

Awesome cinematic, although a bit on 'memberberries. The harronir are defo becoming an allied race now that they even got that CGI render, and I think the rootlands zone is now also pretty much confirmed to be the final one this time.

Wasn't the Earthen Dwarf male? No clue what's up with that weird hate for female characters again.

half of the cinematic was basically a recap lol

also, no hate for female characters. just too much focus on them lately (2 expansions)

[Raetary]

Orweyna being in the cinematic is as official as it can get to confirm Rootlands without actually saying it.

Where did he hate on female characters? Idk, he's just asking for more male characters. Just like certain other groups are asking for certain other types of characters
Double standards??

Also: What is Rootlands? Did I miss something? Sounds really weird for some type of zone/area.

It's not like games and movies usually focused on white male characters since their inception, you will survive taking a back burner for a while. And yeah, it was a bit 'member WoW? but I actually liked that, made me tear up a bit - same style as the old MoP intro video haha.

It's our name for the zone with the roots of Alun'ahir. The harronir are guarding it and they only got a small camp in the current TWW zones so we speculated that they would expand on that after Undermine.

I thought for sure it was going to be WoW on gamepass or even console.

It's Blizzard's internal name for it, not ours. Probably won't be named that, though.

[micwini]

I guess it could be a forbidden reach type area? I'm not sure if it is patch worthy if that is what it is referring to.
Not been around here for 'reasons'

Prediction:
11.0.5: "Rootlands"
11.1: Undermine (zone + raid)
11.2: Karesh

[Xilurm]

I love that they used the Echoes of Azeroth theme from the OG cinematic.

[Ersula]

Didn't we already know that? Even though it wasn't one of the named zones previewed at Blizzcon, or a zone included in the Alpha, they did keep talking about a "Root Jungle" area in the Blizzcon presentation. And the Freysworn basically confirmed Khaz Algar is where Elun'ahir was uprooted.

Ah ok, didn't remember that, only the GoblinRaid datamine

[Dracullus]

So we can safely assume pre-patch will be July and they completely fulfilled "patch every 2 months" promise. Now point me single person, even most positive one, who wouldn't laugh if they say that on DF Day 1.

I dont remember them talking about a jungle?

Well, Forbidden Reach was only there because they already had it thanks to the Dracthyr, and basically had no content besides rare hopping (it also literally died out after Zaralek/Dream came out). Remnants of Karesh will 100% be saved for Midnight though.

no seriously, wth happened to the wow cinematics? they all feel so boring. diablo 4 just got an amazing cinematic while wow is stuck with this low effort crap

It feels like they were clips from a larger cinematic, but not sure. This was just the date announce, maybe they are parts of the launch cinematic instead?

[Catastrophy349]

Well, there it is. So glad the date got announced today. It's wild to me that so many people have been "foaming from the mouth" for months because they can't read a roadmap when it CLEARLY showed that TWW was coming MID-SUMMER (August). At-least it's out. LOL.

[Ersula]

I guess they were specifically talking about this area, which already seems different from the rest of the zone & could be the entrance to an entirely new future zone.

it's listed as "announcement cinematic" on youtube. i don't think we'll get another one.
