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

[Foolicious]

Weird, I don’t see Pirates, Azshara, or Void on the main art for BfA.

Bfa could have marketed way better with anyone of them. Making it all about the faction war was a stupid decision to appeal to the classic crowd. And it didn't even work.

[Teriz]

???????

Those things are all thematically linked.

And they all happened in BFA.

Checkmate.

Checkmate.

Oh damn you got me

Yeah, because it was a thematic mess. However, Kul’Tiras was still a big part of it, and it was loaded with pirate junk.

[Aeluron Lightsong]

I dunno who said it but a expansion where both Alliance and Horde are doing something(And not having innter conflict/ fighting each other) sounds like a good idea to me.

DF has tuskaar, instantly must mean it’s like Wotlk because it has Tuskaar right?

The Cosmic Chart is how we map out our Cosmology tho, no?

And like any map, it only includes what is known at the time. The most recent chart predates the 7th force being introduced, and we still don't actually know what the force even is, so mapping it would be... "difficult".

No, it still wasn't. Pirates were a side theme at most. It wasn't even majority nautical despite being most well-known as a seafarer country.

[AOL Instant Messenger]

Parts i seem to recognise.
Dr.Who?

"Doctor" = Dr. Schrodinger. Schrodinger's Cat was supposed to be in a state of superposition (i.e. two states that would usually be exclusive at once). The implication was that temporal collapse would lead to multiple timelines happening simultaneously, even the parts that are mutually-exclusive. It didn't have any substantial effect on Azshara ("missing" a fish), but brought over Yrel ("caught" a goat).

Oh, boy. What are we all getting into a fuss over, now?

Please explain how a friendly pirate city would be any different aesthetically from the non-drustvar portions of Kul’Tiras.

I wouldn't say it was "pirate themed", more like had a substantial nautical secondary theme which heavily included pirates, the primary theme being faction conflict

Bingo. Further it proved that a pirate/nautical theme is not strong enough to support an expansion.

[Well Done Steak]

Namely we're debating on whether BFA was pirate themed or not. I personally think it wasn't.

Two story chapters in one zone, a dungeon and a minor quest hub in another.

[Palapop]

Thanks for that completely random list of names.
I fail to see how that changes my point that hp numbers are completely arbitrary.

Here i'll add some more:

Betty
Haris Pilton
Thrall
Jennifer O'Neal
Anduin
Sunflower

And i'm sure N'zoth is gonna show up again at some point, but i'd say it would happen because of an actual lore reason and not because of a random number positioned somewhere on your screen.

If you fail to see the link between these names when I say that N'zoth is still alive and fight ends at 2.5%, then all of this was complete waste of time.

Have a nice evening.

[Catastrophy349]

Give me something with the Void and I'll be a happy camper!

[Santandame]

Oh, boy. What are we all getting into a fuss over, now?

Just feels like Teriz is on the windup at this point.

[Kiivar86]

BFA wasn't even that crazy in regards to pirates. Kul'tiras has a Navy, sure, but they weren't "pirates" per say. Freehold was the only real major Pirate-related thing.

Wasn't as major but there was also that hub in Stormsong that was basically a pirate hangout, just on land, as I recall.

Anyways I used to be on the "BfA was pirate themed" side but after time to mull it over, it was a B-plot at best (probably more C-plot, really).

The primary theme was faction war. The secondary theme was Old Gods.

Whilst the nautical theme played a decent part in BfA at times, to say it majorly involved pirates is just false.

Pirates were apart of one dungeon, two chapters in one zone, a minor quest hub in one and a minor part of the War Campaign for Horde in another zone.

This is like saying a major theme of Legion was the undead elves from Black Rook Hold and Val’sharrah.

Not even a D-plot. Faction war, N’Zoth & Azshara, the Drust, Ghuun /w the blood trolls, Jaina becoming Lord Admiral and Rastakhan’s deal with Bwonsamdi are all higher on the totem pole than pirates in terms of BfA story threads.

[Teriz]

Two story chapters in one zone.

The heritage of Kul'tiras....

[Santandame]

The heritage of Kul'tiras....

They aren’t pirates though.



DAE pirates???
