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

[Cheezits]

I feel like the surprise in the dungeon is going to be related to playable Ethereals, somehow.

[Makorus]

Lmao imagine being this petty over a patch.

Sorry, you were the one who posted the stupid timeline (that was totally accurate if you just ignore the majority of the dates) every time someone dared to disagree with you. You are the petty one.

[Ersula]

Yeah Ka'resh confirmed.

Last patch in space.

Such War. Much Within.

Someone at blizzard legit said "well it doesn't say "The war within azeroth" now does it?"

I think they could have made him still just void energy but more interesting visually. It could have been a twenty armed centipede-like wraith monster instead of just a big walker.

i think visually the only escalation of a look that would make sense is a black hole. But fighting a black hole is even less interesting.

I hope we get playable Ethereals as an Allied Race.
I could see it being either 11.2.5/7 or a Midnight preorder bonus.

[Makorus]

Having Tazavesh be the player hub is ingenious.

[Sondrelk]

I just want to say. I like Tazavesh. I think it's a shame it wasn't the main hub in SL.
Having it be the main hub in K'aresh feels like a copout.

[Joshuaj]

Dimensius is a big enough throwaway villain that we will definitely kill him for good.

Surprised we ended this expansion without fighting Xal once.

"Throwaway villain" and that mf is a Sargeras level threat

Yeah, it's also prolly one of the biggest points of feedback they got from Shadowlands (that Tazavesh would have been 10000 times cooler as a hub than stinky Oribos).

I feel they somehow will sell us High Elves again. But yeah, maybe Ethereals too.

And it's crazy they went for Korthia doom&gloom in 9.1 instead of building zone around Tazavesh.

Seems the perfect setup for an allied race, just like Lightforged & Void Elves. In 11.2.5 or 12.0

I think it's fine as "rebuilding K'aresh" seems to be a major theme of the patch, there already being a large civilization there would go against that.

[Super Dickmann]

Tazavesh being the hub is a good choice, one that should've been done back in Shadowlands. Very good asset reuse. Also avoids the insufferable wacky wayside tribe, not that I think this'll save us from finding entirely functional ethereal rebels fighting against their oppressive King or Queen or General Secretary.

[Joshuaj]

Disappointed they’re not setting up Dimensius for Midnight.
Though this probably means we’ll defeat Dimensius & Xal’atath will probably siphon whatever power remains/use it to attack the Sunwell.

I like to think Dimensius ends up manifesting, and that leads to the Void's invasion on Azeroth.

[KainneAbsolute]

Devourers in "real space", I thought they only eat anima.

I think we will make Dimensius weak, weak enough to trap him in a pokeball and bring him to Azeroth

[Kiivar86]

I'm weirdly kinda mixed on this. K'aresh is neat but it also feels like such a pivot and I agree with those that feel there was some changes in planning for the story. Not that that's a bad thing, but it does feel like TWW is a bit meandering. I've enjoyed it for what it is, but it feels like a "wrap this up so we can get Midnight" sorta situation. I'm sure it will, but Midnight better knock it out of the park.

I dunno. I'm just not feeling as excited as I expected I would be overall.

More excited than I was for Undermine, though (though I came to like Undermine).

[Sondrelk]

Someone at blizzard legit said "well it doesn't say "The war within azeroth" now does it?"

Such a lazy excuse.

Could have been the war within Ulduar. Or the war within Quel'thalas. Or the war within a cohesive narrative.

I am going to get over it by focusing on that this in a roundabout way means we get an extra patch location in Midnight. But it's really such a flimsy excuse to have us go to K'aresh when it really doesn't fit the setting so far.

[Makabreska]

"Throwaway villain" and that mf is a Sargeras level threat

Him being a TWW final boss tells us enough about his importance.

[Vexilius]

Hopefully you being wrong again means you'll stop posting your fanfiction 'absolute timeline' every other page on this thread.

They could have introduced an orc called "Jeff the Farmer" in a random quest in TBC that has the ability to erase the entire universe by sneezing, but it would still be a throwaway villain.
