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

[Sondrelk]

Did we have those statues in game? I remember seeing them on the unfinished Emerald Dream version that never made it into the game, but I don't know if there are any that are canonically ingame

They are in the Emerald Dream portion from the Emerald Nightmare raid. The same area that has been used for whenever we go back to the Emerald Dream proper.

Yeah, there are statues in the Emerald Nightmare final zone after Xavius.

[Phunkle]

I see, I guess that makes sense then. Well, maybe it turns out not so bad ingame

[Well Done Steak]

Remember how blizz said they want sepulcher to be a 2 final boss raid?

I'm thinking Fyrakk is "anduin"...

Then in 10.2.5 we're going to get an extra mini raid with 2 or 3 bosses with a titanic theme. Either tyr or Odyn as final boss. My guess is Odyn.

Then 2.7 will close out the exp and 11.0 Release in aug

That whole Tanaris Wastelands set… what if it’s a hint of the direction they’re going to revamp Tanaris? Something à la Madmax?

They should greatly expand Gadgetzan and have it be a more city focused zone. It's a goblin city, there should be enough room for rampant crime and Mafia to provide enemies to deal with.

I'm not really one to look into sets much at this point if only because of the trading post and other stuff.

Like I was figuring those three-piece class transmog were from some Mage Tower 2.0 thing but nope.

Oh. My god.

Absolutely, going the Hearthstone way would be fantastic

I think it's more about how Tanaris has never been themed like that before.

Also I feel they would go more Borderlands in a Tanaris 2.0 zone instead of just Mean Streets of Gadgetzan because they don't seem interested in doing city zones anymore. I could see it being as big as Boralus though.

I think it’s not random though. All these are echoing classic Azeroth styles and characters… as if they will be used later on NPCs or something. Like the Scarlet Crusade set for example, that is so oddly specific imo

Reminder that we have not seen the HD classic plate set yet!

I think the fact they keep adding race tabards, cloaks, and guard armors is also suspicious. 10.1 had Ironforge, 10.1.7 had Forsaken Guard stuff we can't get, and now 10.2 has Belf and Night Elf (Darnassus). Also apparently the Belf icon has the green jewel replaced with blue?

[Xilurm]

I really like Ebyssians aspect model, well to me its deffo his model! Are we seeing the Aspects being re-empowered this patch with him and Merithra getting new models

I hope so. It would be lame if the whole point of DF was for them to get their powers but end up not getting them.

Reminds me of how Alex does a land healing breath in the cinematic for DF but that hasn't happened ingame.

- - - Updated - - -

I know people have compared the Dream Zone to Val'sharah, but I actually like it more with the open space. Valsharah is a little claustrophobic and theme park in comparison (ESPECIALLY the three archdruid areas) while this is just... a tree and some temples. Also the corruption is nicely sequestered to one area.

Valsharah is a better Night Elf Zone/Ashenvale 2 while this is more Overall Nature.

Precisely what I was thinking about

Looks neat.

What happened to the Maladath sword used by Kur'talos? Did it ever become available?

Neltharion just reverses time and we get to see Deathwing flying across the world backwards and inhaling all the destruction.

And is it an upgrade to the older model?
Or old model still better?

True though I still would suggest caution at thinking too big about these things. They may end up having a very banal reasoning.

Its easy to see datamined armors and sets and the like and try and extrapolate any number of things, and then it ends up not happening or going a different way.
