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

I LOVE the black and white effects there. Gives me slight Mawsworn vibes ngl lol.

It's not black and white, it's a greyscale illustration.

Too cartoony/superflat. Looks like Genshin Impact.

Maybe actually open the link and look at the animation instead of judging what's clearly illustrated concept art.

So what are we looking at here and why? Supposedly Titan installations, of course.

Northrend:

Ulduar/Storm Peaks complex
Archavon's Vault/Sholazar-related complex
Wyrmrest Temple

Eastern Kingdoms:

Uldaman

Kalimdor:

Here it gets interesting, most importantly because Kalimdor here is a mess.

I think the conservative guess would be:

Bael Modan
Un'Goro
Uldum

It makes no sense with that map of Kalimdor, but then again that map of Kalimdor doesn't make any sense regardless (unless the Barrens were flooded at some point).

But that why is the topmost point apparently on an Island? If we assume that the map is just really distorted but the topography is correct, then that could be Alcaz Island or the Echo Isles. Alcaz Island is generally mysterious and there might be stuff going on (deeper) underground. Echo Isles honestly just jumped out at me because you know, Radiant Echos. Why are the Echo Isles called Echo Isles anyway? (definitely implying retcon here)

[Raetary]

They used one of the old wrath-Ulduar maps for some reason, which is why Kalimdor is so fucked up looking.

Imo the third dot will be Bael Modan, just cause its an unknown titan ruin with a Dwarf digsite, as well as some ancient horror buried within.
It's an old secret that was never resolved and TWW is the perfect opportunity to send us in there later in the campaign.

[Alanar]

Uch that art post.

I really dont understand why people would want a random new race over already excisting races who have been asked for years. I thought after Earthen it coudnt get worse. Wrong!!

Gonna say it here: seriously fuck the Haranir or horonir. Such a boring race, which look absolutely stupid/boring avatar shit. Super hard pass on them and I hope they dont continue woth it. Looking at how much screentime these shits got in the cinematic they will probably happen regardless. But no one asked for them and there are simply way more interesting options out there. Funny how the same person made the Dracthyr and Vulpera no wonder they sucks.

Presumably because they wanted the Titan holographic globe but didn't consider it important enough to make a new texture. It is only shown for a few seconds, barely enough to get a good look at it.



Anybody else noticing that dynamic flying auto-levels when you're close to level? It's really annoying since you will slowly lose speed at that 0° incline.

Tbf here, the community has been doing this with every major NPC race since 2018. Sethrak, Mogu, Kyrian, Venthyr, Tuskarr, etc. Harronir just join the long community wishlist of "omg this should be playable"

[Dracullus]

I think we don't appreciate enough that we live in timeline without Night Fae allied race.

We'd just have gotten the rubber forehead Draenei anyway.

They didn't need to make a new texture.

They could've used the widely used mop texture, which they used for a bunch of quests and model props.

To go by your list, some of those were praised and are much older then 2018, such as the tuskarr. The difference here ia that the Horronir seem to have a lot of options in terms of costumization. They have also been getting the most screentime in the cinematic, which is suspicious. Wowhead pushes this allied race idea here. I hope they are wrong.

I truly hope you are right and it stays with that list. But there are just more hints for this race to ens up being playable. If that actually happends. It will just be a slap in the face for all those people asking for Ogres for example who have been in the game for years were Haronir was made like yesterday and are not even cool (subjective I know) but still. Cmon it such a lame avatar wannabe with also the same skeleton as night elves.

Man...

This is why I shouldn't be trusting shit based off pictures alone.

Yeah that's most likely Bael Modan.

Guys, I thought they made it canon that Ulduar had globes that did hide stuff from us on purpose. So it makes sense to get another "fake azeroth" globe here, since it's a titan disc.

That still doesn't explain why this "fake Azeroth" has most of the Barrens apparently submerged. Uldum, Pandaria, Dragon Isles and Khaz Algar missing, sure that makes sense with that explaination - but what are they hiding in the Barrens? I mean here clearly not the supposed Titan complex that is marked with a dot.

Undermine gets a shout out in this months trading post.

And that is solid hint. Especially since we likely will know about 11.1 theme soon, either from Warcraft Direct or 10.0.7 PTR content.

Undermine 11.1, Deepgrove 11.2.

I think I'd really like the idea of us going into the Rootlands/Deepgrove thinking we're clearing all Void corruption from Azeroth via the Black Blood and Unseeming (successfully), only for Xal to say fuck you and use Alleria to nuke the Sunwell into a void portal.

The post on November’s trading post says the following:

20th Anniversary and November’s Trading Post
Mind your Tender— with the upcoming November Trading Post we’ll be bringing back last year’s armor sets and transmog weapon sets. Each armor set comes with three pieces: helm, shoulder, and belt, and each weapon set comes with 3 weapons.

Class Restrictions Lifted

Players will now be able to purchase these items with any class character to add to your transmog collection and any class that can wear or use that item transmog can. So, if you have a mail user, they will be able to wear any mail armor set transmog and if your class can use one-hand maces, you’ll be able to use any of the mace transmogs, etc.

Anyone notice that the wording is a bit weird? It talks about the class sets but then says “if you have a mail user they will be able to wear any mail armor transmog set”, and also says the same thing for weapons.

I’m wondering if it truly means any transmog set (in the armor class) or if it actually only applies to the trading post sets.
The mythic ToS set for mage would look good on a priest, if that were the case.

It only applies to the trading post sets.

I'm just saying...

The Undermine COULD be the next mega dungeon.
