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

[Ersula]

the whispers and prophecies are unsolved until they are explicitly said to be solved in the game or a book

The Naaru's prophecy was about who would "defeat the burning legion." They're defeated, babe.

Even more hints towards a Northern Kalimdor Revamp.

Ye, saw few people saying this. I didn't really read that. More like what I wrote above this quote. Not much more than that.

I'd love a revamp on EK and Kalimdor, don't get me wrong tho.

Rather than the canyon mountains deleted wholesale and replaced by more generic docks and piers like we have already seen in Stormwind/Boralus/Zandalar, I think it would be more unique if instead cavern spaces were excavated inside the canyon mountains so the Horde could have internal cavern docks (which would make the Horde's navy protected from aerial bombardment by Dalaran and Alliance airships, which made it to the Siege of Orgrimmar unimpeded), like the Iron Maidens area inside BRF. Though, adding that onto the current layout of Cata Orgrimmar would make for an increasingly incoherent city. It might be better to just redesign the entire city zone from the ground up.

Also wanted this and don't agree that it would force a redesign. Fly over Ogrimmar and look at the fairly significant real estate just east of the Valley of Honor; a cliffside about three times as large the Valley of Honor itself. You open up the area between the Blacksmith and the PvP building where the water is and create a cavern for the docks with an exit on the cliff facing the sea to the east (possible with fortifications like a chain system that would allow them to block the dock district in case of a siege). And I'd build an industrial area between the Valley of Spirits and the Valley of Wisdom, maybe diverting the Southfury river to pass THROUGH the city so it can power water wheels while dropping to a lower level.

Interesting wording. So azerite isn't just azeroths blood, but enriched with energies from the sword?

For some time now i began to theorize that azerite, isn't the pure essence of azeroth. The blue and gold coloration always seemed a bit weird, and the mentioning of the gold crystal that is not quite azerite is somewhat supporting that. Blue is the iconic color of arcane stuff, while gold is more aligned with light stuff. I don't think Azerite is infused with energies from Sargeras, as that was depicted black and red from the sword, unless these colors don't matter.

Kind of a weird question/thought... do you think Blizzard will add your Hero Spec title to your character's tooltip?

When you click on or over over a friendly player:

Bigchungus
<Dead Meme>
80 Tauren Farseer/Totemic Restoration Shaman

Personally, I think it would be a cool addition. Especially for players who are not 100% aware of all of the Hero Spec names and encountering a random player in the world with a certain Hero Spec may incentivize to play another class.

I like that idea, but they would hopefully reorganize player tooltips a bit if they did it, otherwise we'd have specific character combos with mile-long tooltips like "80 Highmountain Tauren Rider of the Apocalypse Frost Death Knight"

[Cheezits]

I think Azeroth's natural essence is blue and the Order being infused into her is the yellow. For whatever reason this combo creates a powerful effect.

However it could be the opposite as Titan Constellar energy is blue.

the legion still exists
pretty sure the whole thing about a power vacuum has been mentioned

What exactly is interesting here?

Possible new harbor to Orgrimmar as a joint project between Earthen and Mag'har Blackrock. Aesthetic mix of dwarven and Iron Horde engineering. Naturally woudl skew more towards the Blackrock stuff.

[Gurahk]

And I'd build an industrial area between the Valley of Spirits and the Valley of Wisdom, maybe diverting the Southfury river to pass THROUGH the city so it can power water wheels while dropping to a lower level.

We'd need a new name for that area. Valley of Steel anyone?

I'm hoping it skews 80/20 Mag'har/Earthen. Bring some more Goblin stuff in there too if Monte's unionizing the cartels.

If they are able to represent the industrial pieces of the Horde while also representing the tribal pieces, I'd be a happy camper. I'd love to see what a modern version of The Valley of Spirits and the Cleft of Shadow could look like.

[Cheezits]

I guarantee there is never going to be any Earthen aesthetic in Orgrimmar.

[Scyth]

I'd really prefer if they revamped Silvermoon and other cities before Orgrimmar..

Boy do I have news for you!

I'm not going to get my hopes up until I see it announced by Blizz!

[huth]

Kinda can't avoid doing Silvermoon in Midnight.

[Ithekro]

Yeah, Midnight screams for a Northern Eastern Kingdoms revamp to incorporate all the Blood Elf lands into the rest of the continent.

Blizzard! Take down this (invisible) wall!

Dragonriding from Silvermoon to Booty Bay.

They more less did announce it.

What else are you expecting from an expansion set in Quel'thalas?
They aren't going to leave it as is.

[Alanar]

I guarantee there is never going to be any Earthen aesthetic in Orgrimmar.

Well, maybe a new forge is build, that shows the common ground of earthen en the maghar orcs. I personally dont see it become much bigger then that. Surely not a full revamp of the city.

[Darkarath]

Nice buffs to WoW Remix. Perfect timing as I have been quite busy and I barely played. Time to get all MoP mounts

Can someone in Beta check if Alliance and Horde achievements are now full account-wide? I am taking about achievements like different reputations depending on the faction, or achievements for doing the questlines of a certain zone. Are these automatically received if I did them with one faction or do I have to do them again with the other faction?
