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

[Cheezits]

If nothing else it feels somehow off that we get both Siege of Boralus and King's Rest in one go. Not to mention only one Nature themed dungeon for what seems to be a heavily Nature themed patch. I would have expected Darkheart Thicket alongside Everbloom if nothing else.

Maybe there is a new Emerald Dream dungeon in the patch and they didn't want to repeat the theme? Or a Nightmare area within the zone.

Even though it's been predicted several times already, I think that another clue that the last patch is Alex/the Red Dragonflight themed is that we haven't received their "ensemble" yet. That is the tabard/shoulder/robe combo that is awarded through a special way.

Black and Blue got theirs in 10.1 based on their respective questlines, and Bronze gets theirs through Soridormi rep. The green version has been datamined already and will likely come from 10.2, but we don't yet have the Red version.

Although I don't like that they will bring back Azshara.

The picture was already obvious, but you just competently spoiled it here.

[Cheezits]

Sure, but those things will likely be shown in the Light and Void domains, not places like Zereth Lumen or Zereth Umbra.

Because the idea is (likely) that all Zereths look the same, I think they will circumvent the A) dislike for the idea and B) samey-ness of repeating the zone by having them corrupted/altered by their respective magics.

Like I don't think the Void or Fel gods just treated their cosmic engines normally, they probably corrupted them and turned them into their own areas.

Yeah not going to lie, but Seat of the Triumvirate is is one of the dungeons on that list I’m most happy to see.

Everbloom too.

- - - Updated - - -

If it were to be nature themed dungeons to go with the nature patch then these would have made sense:

Everbloom
Darkheart Thicket
Waycrest Manor (Drust)
Mists of Tirna Sicthe

In confused why you keep mentioning “domains” for the cosmic powers. Has there been anything to imply there is one for the other forces other than the Shadowlands?

With each representing the races that make up the Heretics in Avaloren? Cheers, Ion.

Could very well also be in 10.2. The red and greens have always been linked closely together. And i need Ysera to slap some sense back into Alextrasza in the next patch.
I don't think we will see too much focus on the red dragons this expansion. It's only alex.

Water. Earth. Fire. Air.

We Avatar now!

God I hate you, but also thank you for this

It’s pretty interesting how the leaked dungeon list is acting as a Rorschach test for those trying to read into it.

[Santandame]

Yes? The Twisting Nether, Danuser confirmed there was a Domain of Light, the Primus talks about the Domain of Life in regards to Elune and her relationship with the Winter Queen, Danuser says we dipped our toes into the Void (Similar to how we "dipped our toes" into the Shadowlands prior to 9.0), and a "Titan homeworld" was talked about also.

Source on Danuser saying there’s a domain of Light?

Dipping our toes into the Void could mean anything. It doesn’t mean there’s a definitive domain for Void beings. It’s much more likely he meant getting involved with the Void more in general.

A Titan homeworld implies exactly that, a Titan homeworld. It doesn’t really imply a different plane of existence for Order aligned beings.

Isn’t the Twisting Nether essentially the Warcraft equivalent of outer space?

No, that would be the Great Dark. Twisting Nether is just another plane of existence but its very Demon affiliated(And formally the Legion).


Edit: Although the way Wowpedia describes it its almost like the Great Dark but...an astral plane

Ah, confusing as the Twisting Nether seems to have planets located within it.

We really need to get a reunion. Can't believe we are yet to see the two of them together.

I saw this on reddit, apparently that time travel inn thing some people are wondering if it hints toward anything:



Personally I think its just a little tease at how it could be but isn't (after all all the time rift stuff is all "what if" stuff), but who knows.

[Berkilak]

If anything, that’s the one thing the next expansion won’t be.

[Kiivar86]

That's what I figured too but its a neat thing all the same, I thought.

I do like all these what-ifs. Some interesting stuff from there, like the idea that the Legion-conquered Azeroth one still has a resistance even after 10,000 years.

[Aeluron Lightsong]

Delving into the Void or using its powers has consequences.
