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

[Lolites]

Eh that is just content that was cut because it was judged superfluous. At no point was it indicated that would be the endgame content of Legion, just content for it (probably together with the Broken Shore). The level of effort behind Argus absolutely requires it to have been in production for a long time.

i mean, Ion literaly said they cut that island and INSTEAD we will go somewhere "much cooler"... might have been misleading, but without further info it it what it is...
i mean its possible it was cut to make argus bigger or whatnot, but as likely DH zone might point at argus bcs, well its legion homeworld, it was mentioned even before legion expansion, and it was pointed someday we might get there pretty much since TBC...

and yes, Argus was in work long time, but the island was in original map, after DH were playable - dont forget they were playable in prepatch - so this might be decided very early in Legion, but still AFTER DH zone was playable

EDIT: so the interview was at the time of release of prepatch, so not during Legion... still seems a bit of hard fit timewise as DH zone was not done in a day so to speak

In 10.0.7, the 10.1 patch name was in the questlog as the header for the campaign and introduced the first chapter. Probably a similar case here.

Yep! Turns out they just called the campaign "Emerald Dream" which is obviously not going to be the name of the Patch. I mean, it might. But its unlikely

Well, I guess it's going to be "The Defense of Amirdrassil" based on: https://youtu.be/g5E6OQDIxwE?t=106

[Skildar]

I would like it very much if Vyranoth is using Alexstraza and betrays her trust last minute

It's always a pain when you have an expansion like Dragonflight which is mechanically very strong but the writing is utter garbage with "be nice and help everyone even if they want to maim you" morale to so many questlines...

It feels nice playing the game but questlines like the latest bronze flight one makes me want to unsub instantly.

I think it will be called Emerald Dream. It's short, to the point and refers to both the Dream itself as well as the dreams of the dragons and the nelves.

Also any oldhead that reads the patch name knows exactly what's going on.

surely they would go for Defense of THE Amirdrassil

I wonder if the new profession related achievements are a sign of account-wide professions.

At the very least they should allow us to have Skinning, Mining, Herbalism, Fishing, Cooking and Archeology at the same time, and make them account-wide. Recipes obtained in one character should be available for all characters.

I was right about the fanbase being annoying about the Nelf heritage. Please release the patch information a day early!

A simple "In flames" would also do the trick

[Super Dickmann]

Vyranoth's turn was collossaly retarded, if entirely expected. The Baine school of moral realization where your siblings drinking extract of old god is fine, but god forbid they destroy the artificial realm set up by your elements or ally with people you'd already hired.

Fyrakk though is surprisingly solid in this. Not retarded, not deviating from his character route, and for whatever reason I quite liked the line going on about how the druids of the flame don't need compensation since they just want to see things torched. A burning tree raid is what I had in mind for a BFA ending if it stuck to the Mists route, so it'd be a good aesthetic mix to avoid the Firelands repeat.

Ah, make the already extremely low value professions utterly worthless. At that point you might as well just remove them and have mats drop off mobs in place of grey items.

There is no reason for account-wide professions when work orders allow you access to products from professions you don't have. All account-wide does is discourage trade and economic interaction between players.

Kinda lame name right after "Fury Incarnate".

You are wrong, with knowledge points they can prevent you being "one man army" even better. And we would get total freedom to pick any profession we can, now it hurts to drop profession you invested countless hours in.

That's my biggest wish for next expansion - account wide professions, reputations, unlocking transmog.

[Cheezits]

Can't wait for them to deploy a fancy new tree model and then have to hear whining from "gigabrain" fans that the devs are going to burn it again.

Eh, she was clearly on it only for getting revenge against the Titans order-fying some dragon eggs, which at least seems to vaguely be in line with whatever Idrikron's still up to. But he's pissed off whereever so who knows what he's up to, and Fyrak's clearly gone off the rails and doing stuff that's pointless to the whole end goal

Surprisingly quick turnaround though, I thought there would have been one more case of "Fryak does something stupid against the Primalists plans" before she flipped sides. But Alextrasza at least going "yo stay here and help me try to do things better" is more progress than anything Fryak's done.

In realising 'if it sucks, hit da bricks', she is one of the smarter villains. I suspect she won't stay on our side for long though and I'm pretty sure Odyn's going to get his inevitable come-upance around the same time

So in your hypothetical, you are limiting account-wide KP to a single character's 2 profession worth? Why even bother with account-wide at that point?

[Dracullus]

You don't lose your recipes or progress. And it doesn't have to be account-wide, if only way to earn knowledge will be quests on max level, it will be exactly as limiting at it is now.

[Hitei]

Except for it discouraging interaction between players and incentivizing degenerative gameplay, like spamming evokers to 70 to farm KP so you can max every tree.

If you don't want to lose recipes or progress, don't drop professions. There's basically no reason to do so besides longer alchemy consumable duration and wymrhole ports.

I find Fyrak extremely retarded for some reason.

[Revamp Man]

Tyr gets remade and sees the elemental influence on Azeroth including shamans
He's more interested in studying than in anything else
He sees the Tyr guard and decides to reforge them into drakonid with silver scales

[Cheezits]

There is a named and voiced Scarlet commander who gets away during the Heritage, so I assume she is teasing some future questline with them. Also reports to an unknown woman.
