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

Lmao they cut a hole in the middle of the loginscreen and then copypasted the concept art from the WoW press kit, applied a blue aura around the rim and called it the day.

I don't know. It is a step up from staring at a wall of molten rock, but it's not something really pleasing to look at or captures the imagination like past login screens. Blizzard seems to be really married to this idea that half of the screen on the left and right is going to be taken up by this box. They might be envisioning this really cool loginscreen in The Last Titan, but that's 4+ years from now, and looking at this for the next 2+ years...

It's not really more interesting if that "change" is just the same simple geometry getting a void-corrupted effect and then becoming more activated and titan-y. The benefit of a cohesive progression of a title screen across three expansions is not such that it outweighs getting three different actually interesting and unique landscape screens. It's a bit hard to take your reasoning seriously when you're unironically calling scenery "generic" while advocating for three iterations of a wholly generic celtic-inspired geometric design.

This is also a bit evasive. The fact is, they could have done BOTH a progressive, changing login screen AND something visually interesting, if they wanted to have that cohesive element, rather than just the first part. The issue isn't change, but the complete lack of interesting visual the current iteration provides. No one would be complaining if it were a really cool and actually interesting screen that changes.

They could have done something like this:

This would have been fine.

Really scratching my head trying to figure out why Blizzard wants the box look.

Well that's better.

That's just the press release art...

Ya know what? Fuck it. It's better

[Throren]

so...any music this build??

[Val the Moofia Boss]

Is this what we are going to see in 2026 for two years?




Is this what we are going to see in 2028 for two years?

Maybe with a different colored background ngl

Midnight can be purplish and yellow, showcasing Light and Void, while TLT can be a mixture of Yellow, Blue, etc for Order.

Only 1 of 51s, so probably cutscene music.

I guess the Community Feast is busted atm? I cannot progress, it's asking me to get rations from Head Chef Stacks who literally does not exist in Iskaara for me.

[Scyth]

I still don't really like the datamined login screen tbh but it's better than the previous version. I'd still prefer it if it covers the whole screen.

No, that's what you're going to see for less than a minute in 2026 and 2028.

Technically speaking they did edit the concept art to remove the fire so they can replace it with proper animated fire on the actual login screen.

I didn't have any issues with it, but I didn't get any orders involving that NPC so it's possible that there are some bugged tasks that I was lucky enough to avoid. If it happens again, maybe you could try flying away for a minute and coming back to see if it'd reset and give you a different task as a workaround?

[Xilurm]

I never really minded the login screen much, what I really want is a long music theme. People saying that we only hear it for a few seconds are being dishonest though. A long theme is nice when you spend 30 minutes (or more) making a new character.

[Raetary]

Well that's better.

It's ok, certainly better than only a cracked wall.

But just copy pasting the Dornogal concept art into the middle is pretty low effort still.

They should honestly just do more portals. Each login screen should be a portal, change my mind.

Some could be smart portals, like Midnight should obviously be the Sunwell, right? If it's just a view of Silvermoon that'd be lame.

Not if it's a view of new Silvermoon. Which I hope they are making.

I think that's obvious. If anything I'm hoping that the new Silvermoon is at least 3 times the size of the current one. It should have tons of spires visible from very far away.

Maybe. I did fly across the northern bridge to see if the npc was up there. But I couldn't see any of the standard npcs that I usually see. No treant bro, no washed up threshers or sea beasties. People were running around saying 'Yes, chef!', but the only thing I saw change was an enemy raid towards the 'end'.

Either the Sunwell or the gates of corrupted Silvermoon.

Both are impressive enough to warrant a login screen imo.

[Golden Yak]

I almost feel like if Midnight kicks off with the Sunwell becoming corrupted and opening into a giant Void gate, it'll be way too much like Legion where it kicked off with the Tomb ecoming a giant Fel gate.

But I also can't really figure it'll go any other way.

Most likely we will have epic view of Void corrupted Sunwell from our hub in Silvermoon. It's common cliche for "end of world" expansions - Dalaran and ICC, Dalaran and Tomb of Sargeras, Oribos and Maw.
