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

I hope we get a dwarf raid

Don't think there is much chance for that. It would have to be in S1 in zones like Ringing Deeps, but instead we get Nerubians. S2 will probably be goblin stuff (maybe they can fit few doorfs there) and S3 will be a culmination with most likely bigger threats.

I could see the final patch being in some kind of Titan facility filled with Earthen. Though I suppose if we go for that idea I guess it's more likely we don't see anything like that until TLT in Ulduar.

S1- Nerubians
S2- Undermine with Siege of Undermine (Or Gallywixland or something like that)
Megadungeon- ??????????
S3- Rootlands and Roots of Elun'ahir Raid
S4- Awakened

And then moving on!

There was a new non-story trailer in an in-game style, Ion and Tina are at the interview desk now.

What the fuck was that?
Like, what the hell happened?
One minute, they release a decent animated short, the other an abysmal of an in-game trailer.
It's like they're using different departments with a very big gap in professionality.

I know this may seem like a troll comment, but I am kinda bummed we don't have a cinematic with more narrative elements. A cinematic with only 5 second clips with no direction is kind of lackluster and not helping the hype train at all. What media can we show to someone to convince them to return to Wow?

There isn't one because TWW doesn't have that kind of story and it's not that kind of expansion. Metzen pretty much confirmed this when he said something about the expectations for the story saga.

This is basically Midnight Prequel #2 after Dragonflight. It's just connected to more exciting expansions to help sell it.

That being said. They may try something like what you're talking about with Khadgar in the intro. But I kind of doubt it.

I really have almost no hype for this but hey, I paid for it so I'm going in. Still waiting for an expansion to hype me as much as BfA, Legion and WoD did. Let's hope Midnight manages.

[Chickat]

This does feel like the waiting room for Midnight doesn't it.

[Khaza-R]

Cinematics are great and fun but they're so far divorced from the actual gameplay of an expansion. I don't know how that alone is what hypes you.

For me personally, its all about the setting and a good villain. And TWW is a huge step up from the last two expansion in that regard. So I am quire excited.

This makes me feel sad. I can understand how you feel tho. But im pretty hyped me an my bestfriends all took the next two days off to play like we always do every expansion so maybe its just hanging out with my friends im hyped about an not the expansion itself.

I don't get what is impressive about Xal tbh. I guess the charisma doesn't translate to me. I just have no idea what her character is. I can understand e.g. Iridikron

I bet you that people will say the same about Midnight being the waiting room for TLT as soon as we have a better idea of what we will actually see in the expansion.

For me Midnight will at least deliver a partial revamp of areas I care about. So I'm excited about it because I know I'll just be flying around it for years after; I am still flying around Draenor.

They better have a skybox on the level of shadowmoon valley in Midnight. I could see it being crazy over Quel'Thalas, consumed by the cosmic void.

And I get that. I have been waiting for an old world revamp for years, so I am as excited for Midnight as everyone.

The feeling of X being a waiting room is more so down to knowing what comes after I think. It makes it more difficult to focus on what is more imminent when we already know that we will be going to Midnight to have major plotlines continued or concluded. And once Midnight is being datamined the complaints of it feeling like a waiting room for TLT and all the amazing stuff that will obviously have will begin.

That would be great. Generally just making a better Skybox for use in the Old World would be great.

OK so in the starting quest we effectively do Xal's bidding and weaken Dalaran's defenses like idiots. I am so tired of Blizzard storytelling forcing my character who has no agency in a so-called RPG to be the useful idiot for every villain with a question mark

[Makabreska]

Not looking good for Khadgar, he began to get disenchanted. Of course, not shown fully = may still be alive

[Izalla]

Well I guess that's why we didn't find any bigger pieces of Dalaran.

[Nymrohd]

What I would do is have a void monster version of Khadgar that we are forced to kill down the line just to really hone the hatred for Xal

Why do I get the feeling Khadgar was turned into an Ethereal?

How were we supposed to know?
