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

[milkmustache]

There's a new in game cinematic that sumarizes the events from Sargeras stabbing Azeroth until now, with a focus on Xala'ath. I think it's really well done, and lays the playing field out for the story in a way I'm surprised they've never done. It played as soon as I logged into a character. My hype for TWW is even higher now.

Nice, they are finally doing story recaps.

It's also quite well done too.

Not a fan of them mixing in the announcement cinematics into it as it clashes visually, but besides that, yeah great little summary video.

Where is this in game?

The Warcraft youtube channel released a nice summary of Magnis story aswell in Short form.

Basically from his crystallisation, through Legion, BFA, and setting up his presence in TWW aswell by explaining how he feels betrayed by Azeroth's silence in recent days.

Shortform, recapping videos like that are great for refreshing memories or getting new players into the story without having to explain the whole backstory of characters.

It's not a full video, but a short.

They also did one for Anduin:

Good step forward, I approve.

A player completely new to the series would look at that cinematic and think the game to be on the same general level as Lost Ark, etc. Not even close in quality as prior cinematics.

You know, i'm not even mad for what most people are about the video.

Yes, Faerin made me roll my eyes when i've seen her on the cover of the book they released. Of course they had to introduce her as a main character, like most characters today. But, at least they made her look badass with the armor they gave her, the scar and the missing arm is an interesting take.
The Harronir, although people attribute her to the Acolyte, felt pretty trollish.

My grievances is with the Earthen, which looks incredibly generic (why doesn't he have any armor?), like The Thing from the Fantastic Four. The Nerubian, which looks more alien than spider (just because you put several eyes on a creature doesn't make it a spider. Like, you have Nerubian models from WC3 and WotLK. Where are the mandibles? Their eyes are usually big and black. They could have added some hair). And the fact that Xal'atath does nothing every cinematic other than smile at the camera. Doesn't really sell her as an awe-inspiring villain.

I've been burned out on WoW for a while and tried to get back but I guess Blizzard doesn't want me back since I cannot stay on for more than a minute.

So, they destroyed BM hunter and Aug with this weeks beta build.


But on the other hand, the final boss on Mythic now drops 3 mounts per kill, yay?

Checking out the items from the event, man, this would have been the perfect time to use the unused Kirin Tor themed Aluneth.

I'm still so salty we didn't get that.

They should've made a Titan themed Aluneth. Something to go with the Celestial Observer set. Aluneth is so goated.

That would be good too.

I just wish we could have had this. Its even still on one of the pedestals showing off appearances!

[Throren]

really hoping for music this build

Maybe Aluneth could return in the Last Titan, giving us this appearance. I would like to know more about the nature of his being.

It could be worst event they made since MoP or WoD. It's build for people working from home who don't have time to play game but can log every 90 minutes.

DF was weak, but it was FAST for gearing. And they already had catch up systems that worked during DF - Forbidden Reach and Dreamsurges, can't get why you can fuck up so easy thing. To salvage this they should just make 30 minutes cooldown already, if someone is farming it 1st day, won't be there in 2 weeks.
