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

Rip getting Atiesh as a legendary...

[Joshuaj]

Cause reminder that Metzen talks about the expac taking place on Azeroth, where we fend off the forces of the Void from snuffing the light of the Sunwell. Prophet's Lesson also talks about how the heroes of Azeroth make their final stand against an all consuming darkness, seemingly on Azeroth itself.

And based off Metzen's explanation regarding our final stand with the Light to banish the Shadow forever...yeah

[Hitei]

Tazavesh being the hub is a good choice, one that should've been done back in Shadowlands. Very good asset reuse.

Feels like kind of a huge missed opportunity when we could have had an actual Ethereal aesthetic hub. I like the brokers but this was kinda our one chance to get an actual Ethereal city.

Fyralath and Oathbinder weren't announced, were they?

[Joshuaj]

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.

I like to believe we won't kill it. Push it back? Sure. Idk about killing it though

Would seem like a waste

[Zardas]

Karesh only for a major patch is a bit disapointing. What's left for Midnight then ?

[Sondrelk]

Yeah, that one does sting.
I guess the devs didnt want to undermine the prestige of actually having the old one. But still.

Xalatath still exists. Dimensius wont.

More revamped old world zones, hopefully. Rootlands is VERY likely TLT, meaning all of Midnight's patch content is a mystery.

Probably more locations in EK if I were to guess. Maybe a patch in the Draenei zones so that both it and Qul'thalas have officially been updates and are not stuck in TBC.

I am similarly confused, as expressed previously, how it makes any sense to put before the Void expansion. What are we going to fight in Midnight if we are fighting a literal Void Lord as the final boss of TWW? Some more Void Lords? Dimensius again?

Hopefully not much of other planets/dimension travelling and focusing more on Quel'thalas region.

[Makorus]

Gotta say, this has to be the weakest tier sets we've gotten in a while

I am wondering about this- I wonder if an Ethereal city is coming soon, and it could be tied to the eco-dome dungeon.

Or the implication is that Tazavesh = Ethereal City.

[milkmustache]

Wow. This is fucking incredible.

• Straight up BRINGING Tazavesh from the Shadowlands to be used as a hub in K'aresh.
• Devourers being related to the Void somehow?
• Doubling down on usage of the world and putting the new Delve in the Azure Span.
• Dimensius' design and also... being the END BOSS? Xal will definitely steal his power.
• Ky'veza as the delve nemesis.

I really, really like Blizzard's approach lately. Reshii Wraps... we'll see.

A full northern EK revamp?

Wow I missed that a group of Demon Hunters is in K'aresh. Is this a hint of a Void DH spec incoming? Please let it be a ranged spec.

Devourers are back ¡¡ Love to see them again. Was one of the few good things that came out of SL.

Also, ''a very powerful character will help us to recover Ethereal artifacts''. Medivh??

BTW Dimensius model is pretty cool. Is the Dark Heart what he has at his center?

[Marlamin]

Tazavesh, the new moving city with a purple bubble now that Dalaran is gone!

[Hitei]

Hopefully not much of other planets/dimension travelling and focusing more on Quel'thalas region.

Quel'thalas is pretty one-note visually. The entire region is more or less just regular green fantasy lands with Quel'thalas being the same but autumnal. I'm not sure we've gotten such a homogenous area since Wrath being in large proportion snow and ice.

[Malorne the White Stag]

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.

I mean, they got a new non player model for this patch., Don't see it happening tbh. Now amani trolls in midnight, we can hope for (god forbid it's light elves or something)

[Kiivar86]

Yeah, agreed. I kinda like what I assume is the DK one (to the right of the DH) and the monk (far right) but the rest...eh.
