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

[Lady Atia]

It isn't. It never made it out of PTR, so we don't know her origin.

Wait, what was her PTR origin? The "Dimensius ate my homeworld" part was still in on retail?

Also, even if it's not part of retail anymore I would still consider it canon until it's retconned. Remember BFA and Zul writing letters to Aszhara? Would have made so much more sense for the whole expansion, literally connecting all the big threads instead of whatever we got on retail ...

If you clicked on her sometime during the Wastelanders segment, she mentioned something (in text form) like "aren't you surprised to know Dimensius destroyed my homeworld too?"

This had nothing to do with anything else in the questline so it was either after a scrapped scene or some weird spaghetti code thing.

Ehm. I swear I literally got that last wednesday. It's still in lol.

[Ersula]

To be fair "Would you be surprised to know Dimensius destroyed my homeworld too?" "...Very surprising indeed, because that's not true. I lied. I'm a liar" is very funny in a Jonathan Frakes kind of way.

Still think Azshara should be occupying the role that Xal’atath currently is in the WSS.

Xal is a cool character and all but Azshara was already established and would fit in a tad bit better within this saga for a number of reasons.

First off you have Azshara fitting in more with Midnight, being the Queen of the Highborne so the invasion of Quel’thalas has a bit more history to reference. Same with the rivalry with Alleria.

There’s also the the various plot points throughout the last few expansions. Azshara leaving Nyalotha to seek the true throne of power. The Naga stating that Azshara is biding her time in the Umbral Veil.

Then you have that Azshara always viewed herself as the true ruler of Azeroth, so if anyone had the right to consume the world soul of Azeroth, it would have been her, in her mind.

I dunno. I’m not complaining, Xal is great. I just feel Azshara would have been more fitting. The above points make me wonder if the original plan was even for Azshara to be in this role instead of Xal?

I think Azshara is a good contender for the real final boss of WoW, moreso than Sargeras, so I don't mind them kicking her can down the road.

She is an egomaniac who believes the Azeroth is hers and has made deals with multiple evil aliens (Sargeras, N'zoth) that brought a ridiculous amount of destruction and suffering to Azeroth.

I really don't think anyone fits the position of the final boss of Azeroth: Xal doesn't seem to care about Azeroth besides understanding it's a powerful thing to eat with powerful champions. But with Azshara it's both historic and very personal.

But Xal brings feet. Checkmate, Azshara fans.

Azshara brings tentacles. Xal is little man's first fetish (should be baby's but that analogy was criminal already). Where are the nylons? The stripper heels? The red toe polish? Meanwhile Azshara has tentacles.

That said, I don't know what's creepier, Xal's possesed corpse kitty or Azshara's aquatic cloaca.

Excuse me, I am doing that phase diving grind and losing touch with reality.

"Real final boss"

lol

I said what I said. Denathrius is right behind her due to the Nathrezim being easily written to have controlled Zovaal and also all their influence in the Warcraft setting, but Azshara is the most personal, ultimate villain to the WORLD of Warcraft.

Her motives have never, ever, been good.

[Jolly Roger]

It's a poor use of resources, I don't know anyone I play with who actively pet battles

biggest playerbase are collectors
theres a reason pets go for so much gold in some cases and its the same reason as mounts

i dont do the pvp stuff but i definitely go through and do the achievements for the rewards

Azshara brings much more than that. She has more sass, she's more seductive, she has a better personality, she is MY QUE-. I mean she cool.

Yeah I love the character, they did a great job with her and the VA should be damn proud.

Also, I am sure Azshara can transmute into a hot elf babe if she wants to for the normies.

Yeah she can. Or atleast use a projection. She does so in the Cata version of Darkshore.

lol

Is that such a controversial thing to say? A final boss doesn't have to be oversized overpowered progenitor cosmic entity power level.

Azshara would make an incredible bookend to a lot of stories. She is the catalyst for a lot of Azeroth's woes, and she still pines for domain over it.

[Cheezits]

We've also seen that the void can be used to turn creatures more humanoid (Ansurek) so they may lean into that to turn Azshara into less of a squid/naga and more of a Mermaid.

[blaatschaap]

He doesn't give a date. He just says "100,000 years ago" ...Different dating systems doesn't change relative time.... Unless you're saying Ethereals might have a completely different concept of what "1 year" is.

a year is the orbital period of a planet around its star system's gravitational center. Why would K'areshi, from a totally different planet and star system, have their year be as long as a year on Azeroth?

While I've been a bit against the idea of the Naga popping up in Midnight, space mermaid nagas would be kinda cool and pretty intimidating villains.

Naga, mermaid, the bottom is still fish.

They wouldn't, but Blizzard is not the type of company to care for or think through these types of details.
Like how every single creature in this universe speaks or understands common, or how we can breathe perfectly fine in any kind of space despite the logical lack of atmosphere.

Um naga azshara is beautiful and we need to stop plain washing every single NPC for boring, imaginationless so-called normies.

Wow needs MORE monsters than less, if anything.

DF proved that. Dragons like 70% of the time were in elf form in a country they OWN with architecture SPECIFICALLY FOR dragons. Boring.

Naga azshara or bust. (Or perhaps, naga azshara and bust.)

[Romanz]

Azshara is 100% coming back in Midnight, as much as people talk about sylvanas coming back, we are due for an Azshara return, leaving Nyalotha and saying that bit about the true throne of power (could be Sunwell, could be the worldsoul) Azshara could even be the one responsible for launching the void assault on Silvermoon, with Xal'atath in tow
