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

btw, don't believe any "gamescom leak" that has only WoW on it. IF someone would have leak news from gamescom it wouldn't be just WoW, it would be all kind of games. This is not blizzcon after all.

I mean, even in BlizzCon it is highly unlikely you only get WoW.
I seem to recall that a WoW leak gained credibility by leaking Diablo stuff as well. The one we doubted was the spiritborn class and it still became true.

Class Halls are big enough to be reserved for Last Titan, maybe with early reveal next Blizzcon since it will be too early for full TLT panel. And they need a lot of work, people forget that Legion version had no interesting stuff left after you done launch campaign.

yeah, i remember that too.

so, any credible gamescom leak should have a few interesting things from others games too. But most people don't know enough about all games to make a credible fake leak that coveres multiple games

In response to my comment, I was sent a PM with the following leak. Maybe I was wrong after all-

-First Raid- Wildhammer Stronghold "Kurdran's Wrath"
-Void Dwarves vs Naga in Northeron
-Magni as first companion/love interest

You know what? I'd be down with this. Not sure this much Dwarf focus is okay for the Elf expansion after Khaz Algar, but it fits the Blizzard modus operandi of having characters/races overstay their welcome in the limelight before being switched off.

And shit like Void Dwarf is such an out of left field thing that nobody would guess.

I still don't think this, if real, would be a good idea. But it would be hilarious that'a for sure.

Teehee. Nothing says elven reunification expansion set in quel'thalas like dwarves

Most fake leakers don't know enough about WoW to make a convincing fake leak.

[ImTheMizAwesome]

Which PTR patch should have some datamined items for legion remix? 11.2.5 or 11.2.7?

[Makorus]

You just know that any leak with Northeron in it is fake.

People are picking it up because it was discussed a lot in here with the Ironwood trees, and Redshirtguy posted about the discussion from in here on his Twitter, so people desperately cling to that.

Crazy how after all that, every leak has Northeron in it

[Cheezits]

World of Warcraft- 12.0.5- Wrath of the Northeron

[Wangming]

World of Warcraft- 12.0.5- Wrath of the Northeron

Bolvar of the Northeron.

Sounds more like a Code Geass season than a WoW expansion, but oh well.

We've come full circle. Bolvar is blue, again, but this time because ice and dwarves- the only two things ever noted about the region, ever.

Mate, it should be Brann, not Magni.

Loads of forgotten knowledge are within our grasp

Inquiring minds just got to know

IYKWIM

Second one should be ofc Soridormi.

[Sondrelk]

Nothing says titanforged dwarves living in a giant titan facility like half elves from a lost arthurian kingdom from across the seas either, and yet here we are.

Yes, but the first raid was....

Well okay that was not dwarf themed. Or the next one. And the last one wasn't even on the same planet.

Maybe I was too harsh on all the leaks that didn't have an Elf raid for the first tier.
I mean I stil think that is dumb, but there is precedent. Poor old Blizz has precedent to every way one can fuck up an expansion.

[Cheezits]

I noted someone said that the sunwell being the first raid has potential because of how quickly TWW wrapped up the KA plot.

I don't think the KA plot is the new standard, considering how the expansion changed. I expect Sunwell as the second raid at the earliest- though it truly being the final raid would be nice.

Surely Elves are going to be relevant for more than two zones, right?

Or... show up in any patch...

I got a feeling that they are going back to the old formula of "first raid is sub-plot related, second raid is the one to deal with the main plot point", so I can totally see a Troll Raid first, and then an actual Quel'thalas raid.

With how much Blizzard likes uninspired outdoor area instances, I can totally see a Quel'danas zone + "Assault on Quel'danas" raid.

Hey, check this out:



Listen to the motif at 7:50, and then go to 5:11 on the unknown music.

It's a K'aresh motif.
