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

Regarding G'hanir... I checked the wow wikipedia, and apparently it's grown back. Considering the zone probably isn't Amirdrassil, maybe G'hanir will be the zone instead? Or it will make an appearance? I think it checks out with how the Ohnaran Plains are so connected to a bird god (leading to Aviana).

I think "Gahanir" mobs appear in the Ulderoth invasions as well.

Do we even want to see Elune or should she stay in the shadows. I'd be ok with not seeing her.

I think it's inevitable now that she has a voice and family, both introduced in Shadowlands. If she doesn't appear physically she'll definitely talk again.

Interesting that the Night Elf quest is started at the Stormwind embassy, and not even by an NPC.

Maybe the refugees are moving out?

It's probably "Champion, X sent you a letter. You are urgently needed at Y.".

Interesting that NEs get a new title, do we know what that is yet or has it been kept encrypted? Probably the latter, I imagine.

Encrypted so far. I wish they gave everyone a heritage title, I think Orcs missed one and all the pre-DF heritage races.

Yeah as someone who hadn't done one before humans (as my characters are almost all Draenei with a couple of allied races and my main's a human) I figured the main races got a title as part of it, so I'm surprised that actually isn't the case.

Wonder who else is part of the life pantheon...

My guess would be a sun god who's probably the leader.

A fertility and abundance god, since you can't have life sustainability without food.

And prob an elemental god since all four elements are essential to sustain and life.

An antagonistic Sun God King would be a lot of fun.

An'she the sun god definitely
Then whoever truly created the emerald dream
The master of elements is also another good choice

[Cheezits]

Sun God (An'she)
Moon God (Elune)
Growth/Abdundance god (most likely to be a problem: see Everbloom and other unchecked growths)
Elemental god(s?)

They should have you announced the next expansion instead with all this hyping up

[Darkarath]

At this moment I am more interested to know what 10.2 would bring than 11.0.

I feel that it is going to be such an important patch for the game. Whatever they do with it will give us many clues about the next expansion in many ways.

I think it will be fairly self-contained (tree gets saved, Fyrakk dies). What I'm more interested in is whether or not it will be the last major patch.

[Reive]

i assume it's going to be a pretty big patch (by .2 standards) if they're going to announce it at the gamescom

[micwini]

I think they will mention it IF its the final patch when they announce it. Just like they did with 9.2.

Wasn't the last patch announced at Gamescom the Argus patch? Makes me hope it's similar in size.

[micwini]

So someone posted the map on reddit I mentioned a while ago


On this map there is another island west of waking shores. Could this be another patch zone, 10.3 location or maybe cut content?

No I don't believe Argus was revealed at Gamescom. The expansion announcement yes.

Yeah, sadly, Fyrakk would most likely die. I really enjoy the guy. Hopefully he would go like a boss making some real damage or killing someone.

I really hope that we have a proper 10.3. Last time that we got one was in Legion (8.3 was very meh).

I believe that it is going to be the biggest patch in WoW's history (no kidding). Maybe not in terms of landmass, as 7.3 or 8.2 would probably win there, but in terms of content added and impact for the game.
