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

Her yellow eyes almost make me wonder if she's gonna be changed by the world soul like the threager (idk how to spell) are

Fun fact. Azshara had golden eyes and so did Illidan. It was prophesized that Night Elf children born with golden eyes are destined for great things.

[Wangming]

Indeed, it's certainly detailed but it has slim pickings on race-class combos

The Shrouded certainly matches up with the gamescom key art revenant things.

I wonder if it is possible that multiple leaks are correct but understood/saw different parts of the whole.

Karlach came waaaaaaay later than Jaina D.

Yes, but Jaina isn't normally a demon mommy.

Idk who are you talking about, but Azshara always had golden eyes as a highborne.

Beef Bourguignon. Found some chanterelles by chance when I went into the forest by chance, and it seemed like the perfect opportunity.

Oh damn. Now I want some.
I know a pretty good french chef who could make it. Unfortunately, he is fictional.

EDIT:

Found it

That aligns more and more with what we have seen

[ro9ue]

Why is she not a naga anymore? Is this her from another time, like a flashback or is there a way she got "cleansed" when N'Zoth was "defeated".

I mean shes a powerful mage so I guess she can just do an illusion too, huh?

That's her natural eye color.

ugh I hate Lorthemar more. They made him age faster than humans. Is Thalryssa a bad wife? How did he get this old in 2 years after marriage?

She's been sucking mana out of him.

elune is gonna save her because Azshara is azeorths special princess and Azeorth is elunes special princess :3

in my defense im a fucking moron and forgot she naturally had golden eyes

Think about the ascended nerubians

[Nymrohd]

Are we back to believing the press leak? Sad

[Myrrh]

Yeah, that model matches the cgi renders too much and is too consistent to be AI. This might be the only real leak this season. We see in a few hours. Not thrilled by the Azhara model yet

Okay so, counterpoint. We've all focused on the Turalyon similarity, but I can't see discussion on the Xal render (forgive me if I've blatently missed it) and I am convinced that doesn't look legit. The facial rune carvings, specifically, are close to the real thing. So much so that at a glance (or to, say, AI) they look legit. But a few are just straight up different, and beyond what could be a trick of the light. The forehead one is the most egregious but there are a few others, too.

Speaking of the forehead, check her circlet. The etching on the hair-part side is again slightly off. Previous renders also don't show the circlet through her hair on the other side. Finally, that side behind her hair slopes unnaturally, and I can't reconcile that with it simply being a trick of the hair. The circlet engraving is symmetrical and couldn't possibly look like that, even with the hair partially covering it.

Also on the other pairing (orc DH screenshot and 'leak'), that write up mentions 11.2.7 while the supposed youtube video lists it as a Midnight feature. If anyone is using the shared point as a point in its favour, I don't think that tracks.

tl;dr I'm not sure either of the major contender pairings that lend credence to one another are real at this point.

errm... this might be just coincidence ... buuut Azshara and Azeroth

If that's not real, I'll eat a shoe.

the Xal render is from the official teaster?

Edit: or do you mean the Azshara one?

Oh man, if classic and retail collections will indeed be connected (they actually had that as a point in an recent suvey) they better make fresh start realms aswell that go all the way to MoP, otherwise it would be a big fuck you to people who believed their "classic will never be connecter to retail for collections" bullshit.

... The Xal is captured from WoW's own "Doorstep" teaser

Wait... Xal or Azshara?

[blaatschaap]

The vengeance hulk form would have also sold so much better with a Chaos Orc or Broken behind it. It was a failure imo in Legion that they did not give orc and draenei demon hunters; it is one per faction and it is an opportunity to give two requested models in a restricted way (Chaos orcs and Broken) BOTH of which were already developed either for WoD or for later in Legion.

The right time for them would be BEFORE Legion Remix tbh.

Fair enough. They could still make it part of midnight by tying the unlocks to preorder, but making the feature available earlier

[Nymrohd]

Soup or raw?

[Xilurm]

That's her natural eye color.

I can't believe they put shorts on that outfit before giving it to us.

[Andromedes]

Tbh i was non believer. Now i am like 50/50.. Still i am not sure about that Azshara design. I just dont like those body tattoos and the fact, that she is a night elf.. It cheapens her permanent transformation, if she can willingly change forms... But i guess she can get a pass, considering she is powerful sorceress and since she is blessed by an old god, who are known for illusion magic..
