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

[huth]

It was quite impressive; it looks to me like it was arranged by a model viewer on some parts, but that's only applicable to the ghosts and ships, not to the trees and only somewhat to the barriers. I don't know whether or not the longboat asset was already in the game or not, but it looks like it was custom-made, though possibly by slotting some things together. I think the longship was entirely custom-made, since the head is at a different angle and generally entirely different from the WotLK Kvaldir longships.

What's very obvious is that it was done in a different engine. Especially the water.

Agree with 10.2 vyranoth and 10.3 titan/red focused predictions. I think the last DF raid will be in tyrhold, with us helping alexstrasza against Tyr/titan keepers.

Avaloren for 11.0 or 12.0.

erm... who/what is Vyranoth?

[Palapop]

The Frost Primal Incarnate.

Makes me wonder...

If Avaloren isn't 10.3, and if it's not 11.0, then I do kinda hope we get the Domain of Order for 11.0 instead.

ah lol ty

didnt even know her name. D:

not 100% sure if we're getting 10.3.

But yeah... Something tells me they are trying to bring back Galakrond. Maybe they succeed? and we fight Galakrond this expansion and they survive and get into 11.0?

Really can't speculate much until we finish new dungeon/quests.

Finally people with tusk and their name: GrOMmAsch can rp even harder!

That could have been excused by it being a cinematic of some sort. In hindsight I would say the way bigger tell, which was also pointed out back then, is that it seems weird that the ships wouldnt be more unique. The sails are nice and all, and it would kinda fit with Sylvanas allying with Helya, but still.

Such a shame it wasnt real. So many cool ideas that could have been gleaned from a Stormwind raid. Ressurecting various heroes in the cemetery. Chaos in the unused Stormwind Vault area. Fighting inside the Cathedral.
Really a raid in Stormwind is a far more interesting idea than the raid in Orgrimmar could ever have hoped to be.

We finally get a skip straight to Garrosh in SoO, so expect even more Mag'har orcs with tusks running around.

Nah. Water in cinematics still looks different, this is a fairly old technique to make it look not flat that doesn't actually look like real water much. The engine used fits neither how Blizzard's cinematics look nor how ingame graphics look.

They probably wouldn't use only a single ship model, but that's not something specific enough to be a tell.

And i think your imagination of what an SW raid could be is probably far more grand than it actually would have been.

Atleast running it more, dropchance is still low I assume.

Tbh, it looks really good with tusks.

It's very intriguing. The "titan utopia" are supposed to represent titans... in triceratops?
And these "future robot pets"? tinker teaser?
Where do you think they come from? From the megadungeon? Or is it hints about the next storylines or maybe Avaloren?

Safe bet they're just from the various time rifts scenarios. There's a Titan one (Time Rifts - Titan (Ulderoth)), a Robot one (Time Rifts - Robot (A.Z.E.R.O.T.H.)), etc. The news post itself mentions one fo the pets listed in the post are from the time rifts, even.

[Alanar]

I mean...the actual lore we got instead wasnt really better, was it now lmao



Lets not forget the most legendary one of them all:

Its the only real legendary one, as it keeps coming back and people keep clicking. Its marvelous

It would be weird if it doesnt tbh.

[Ateo]

This would be so much better than anything they'd likely offer us. Lol

[Lady Atia]

Seems like they are adding a "mount gamble" item alongside the quantum transmog stuff next patch - fingers crossed it's including removed and seasonal mounts too!

[Lorgar Aurelian]

Damn they really making us help the orcs enslave and rape Alex, and this is post lawsuit I can’t imagine what the quest would have been of it never came to light.

More keep her imprisoned. Though that's not all that much better.

Do feel like they should change this one to something else, though, yeah. Also the thing is literally just laying in the grass behind a cart. This feels like it could be easily changed to something else.

edit: Follow-up tweet shows present-day Alexstrasza's response so I guess it isn't entirely glossed over. That's...something?

[Reive]

they shouldn't change anything. the quest is fine. it's perfectly in line with what old wow was

[ImTheMizAwesome]

It would be weird if it doesnt tbh.

Can't wait to use this combo on both my orcs and my gnome warrior.

Of course if i will ever get the axe.. Tusks i already have, i just hope they won't make it lowest of possible drops.

All things point it dropping from megadungeon, but i wonder how they will do with faction only fights.

[Lady Atia]

Oh also, it looks like they are indeed bringing back t3?

From what it looks like it seems the Dev who designed the quest didn't know about the rape stuff, just that she got imprisoned by the Dragonmaws.

Oof, they really should of picked better scenarios for those "Rough quests"
