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

Because they don't experience past, present, nor future in the Shadowlands. Sure, souls have memories of when they were alive, but that's really it.

At this point you're just lying so transparently, you might as well just be glass.

Like the examples already I gave you, they do.

They reference past events after they died constantly. The people in Oribos talk about how it used to be a bustling hub but now it isn't. The Valkyr reference the lack of incoming souls in direct reference to the past, that they then show the player a vision of. The Wild Hunt talk about having to battle the Drust for generations. Draka & Vashj reference being sent to fight the Legion as Necrolords. Souls in the maw just flat out say "I've been here a long time." These are all events that require linear time for a point of reference.

Took some brain power to imagine what you are seeing. However, the shapes just don't match, except for Kalimdor + Teldrassil + Draenei islands. The EK "glove" so to say is also the same, but the main part is just completely different between the flat map and the globe.

The shape & content of any globes in the game are pretty irrelevant now that its established Titan Technology can completely hide entire landmasses, as they did with the Dragon Isles.

Just supposed to be a polar ice cap I think.

I am reminded of pandaria because it looks like the mists

It’s got to be trolling.

[Ersula]

All of this is just how people in the Shadowlands perceive things.

Its also how people not in the Shadowlands perceive things: Linearly, in time.

Almost like its exactly the same.

And you have nothing to back up that you're proposing the contrary.

I was super excited that what you're describing might actually be true when Shadowlands started: That not only might the rate of time be different in the Shadowlands, but they might, in fact be traveling through time in the opposite direction, causing the following expansion to be another AU that takes players to Azeroth's distant past: But all those theories were debunked by Calia moseying to & from Oribos at her own leisure & then the developers doing a time skip after Shadowlands that had nothing to do with the nature of the shadowlands itself. Oh well.

[Vakir]

Guys, it's abundantly obvious from the timing of their arrival, general pattern of speech, complete lack of media comprehension, obsession with power scaling, and being the only person on the planet to be that excited about cosmic stuff/Zereths that this is the same person as Jasontheking/Argus the Unmaker/The First Ones.

It's a fool's errand. Don't bother.

Back to just eyeballing news if it's ever worth coming back.

[Catastrophy349]

You'll have PLENTY to talk about next week

[Cheezits]

This one clicks for me, thanks! Although I wonder what that spooky face is in the middle

Looks like White Diamond. Must be Elune.

[Dracullus]

They just announced LFD and quest helper for WoTLK. Do you think it could come for Classic Era as well? Maybe this is 1.15 patch?

They said in the same interview that there is a new season coming for classic (not SoM2.0) so it's probably that. Don't think they are adding questhelper to Era, nor would it warrant a patchnumber increase.

[Skildar]

Better this than to parrot myself for the 50th time

Honestly I'm resorting to reporting each post in which you troll. You taunt people any way you can, you're an unbearable distraction to this thread...

[Aucald]

Let's pivot away from discussing past expansion lore from Shadowlands and other past expansions and refocus the discussion on upcoming 10.X patches and/or future expansion themes and gameplay elements.

[Cheezits]

There are a lot of unfinished model files of Horde and Alliance themed building chunks, like walls, stairs, turrets and flightmaster stations. A lot of them had the label "Frontier".

I think they could be building blocks for new Alliance and Horde settlements in a revamp/rehaul, or it could be something used in a housing settlement.

Also the night elf and blood elf boats from DF launch still haven't been used, I believe.

True ish the factions are seemingly absent for the time being.

10.2 discussion wise, I actually like the idea of Fyrakk's ingot being relevant in 10.2 so we didn't just have him going over the Dragon Isles for no reason.

Well we know that Igira is still around, and the Shadow flame and Ingots are definite plot points. Coupled with the druids of flame I wonder if the plot of 10.2 might be partially centered around somehow making the Emerald Dream fire themed.

Where did "Frontier" come from?

I thought it had something to do with those files? Here's where I got it from.

Reminds me that the revamped inn model was never used in DF.

More of the "building chunks" I was talking about.

Cool, missed out on the group name having Frontier in it, interesting!

[Fahrad Wagner]

"Frontier" hm??

Could be backside related. A frontier to a new land?

- - - Updated - - -

Of course we don't know, but it would be cool ngl

Yep, it has been one of the main theories since the beginning: if we go to the other side of Azeroth, it's gonna be a "new world" kind of adventure. We did get the diplomat outfit which would fit very well into that. If both the Horde and Alliance are establishing footholds there, it would make sense to create new basic assets for the core races. The idea of a new frontier ties into that very well

[Fahrad Wagner]

Sounds like a code word for a revamp, tbh. As in, the border between two eras of Azeroth.

But it could also be literal and indicate that we'll settle somewhere new, perhaps as a result of the old world being taken over by Azshara's forces, or simply because we're exploring.

It could be a code name indeed, that would be cool!
