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

[Cheezits]

Food for thought: if there wasn't a single book mentioning the word Avaloren, there is nothing pointing to a new continent as the next expansion. While there are a LOT of restarts of Old World storylines like Scarlets, Nobles, etc.

Also Thrall.

Do you guys think the Dream is likely Elune's realm? Or do you think it's simply Titan made and nothing more?

I think Emerald Dream is a realm that Eonar created through some sort of deal with Elune.

[Fahrad Wagner]

It's official, we need a new hype train folks!

[Cheezits]

The Dream is definitely not Eonar and Freya's creation, but they wrangled it to be very specific to Azeroth. I think they pinched a piece of the overall Lifelands off with Elune's oversight.

Or there is simply a Dream for every life/spirit-filled planet and Eonar and Freya tweaked theirs.

Reusing all those color palletes would be a bit uninspired though, i expect a world revamp to give each zone its unique color and not just copy paste vol'dun sands everywhere for example, or every marsh to end up a nazmir copy or Ungoro to turn into valsharah green.
Most things you mentioned could end up being reused but i would hope for a retint to a degree including the structure assets and not a half assed revamp.

They could easily recolor the sand to be paler like traditional tanaris sand.

I do wonder if they will add a Classic phase to retail Chromie Time, now that they rebuilt Classic EK and Kalimdor. Is it possible?

Maybe not with bronze drake on each zone because there could be some size differences and the transitions would be weird, but they sure could add those bronze drakes in Orgrimmar and Stormwind that would phase you to the old EK and Kalimdor

[Chickat]

I believe it was mentioned fairly early into the reveal of Dragonflight during one of the interviews I want to say. During a question on how we get there, and it was mentioned that there would be changes to the Stormwind docks to accommodate the new transportation.

Now this could have meant the changes we got. The ship from Kul Tiras sailing in from the opposite direction but still on the same dock. The implications definitely seemed like the docks would be changed.

This was back when the intro was describing as letting you jump between the Alliance and Horde ships, which is obviously impossible now that the Horde comes in by airship.

Hmm interesting. I do remember that now that you mention it.

If only there would be an opportunity, like a patch centered around the emerald dream, to dive deeper into the lore of the dream...

After the reception to Shadowlands? I do NOT blame them for not bothering making that a focus.

There are apparently some hidden lorebooks that have not been found, and we did just get an official confirmation that Eonar and Freya directly worked together on the Dream.

[Reive]

the emeral dream should have been as big as argus (in game) to flesh out the place a bit more. right now it looks just like another forest.

It's a start I guess.
Forgot to add No Pirates tweet, but I guess someone can do that in round 2 of edits

[Cheezits]

I mean, if only lol.

The only thing this patch solidified was that there's most definitely a connection between Eonar and Elune.

Wait...there are hidden lorebooks? Where did you hear about this?

Also, the Wild Hunt are in the Dream, so SL stuff is definitely present there.

There are 4 hidden books nobody has found, one of which is pretty explicitly anti-Titan speculation on the Dream.

Anyways. Now that a world revamp is definitely happening at some point. What raids and dungeons would people like to see?
Personally I would love an instance set in the blighted Undercity as well as one in Stratholme. Botani invasion of Dire Maul would be fun as well.

Off the top of my head:

Kalimdor

- Botani Wailing Caverns
- Mean Streets of Gadgetztan
- Some sort of ice palace in Winterspring where the remaining Primalists make their base. Could have them destroy Everlook and erect over its ruins.
- Maraudon repurposed as the Mongrel Horde stronghold. Wratheye unites the Gnolls, Centaur, Quillboar, Saberon and Harpies.
- Ruins of Darnassus as a raid. Either have it as twisted, horrifying version of Teldrassil/Darnassus or even better have Azshara mock Tyrande and Malfurion, building a new Zin Azshari here.

We need a new version of Taylor Swift for it.

[CasualFilth]

Is the Velen questline out yet?? If not, when?

[Sondrelk]

It's out, though you pick it up in Stormwind or Orgrimmar, not Valdrakken.

We should bring back Pirate Swift.
@Shadochi Do your thing

Quest is at Stormwind keep, or somewhere in Org.

Yrel is a must.

Also iridikron, oh and the cinematic leak.

Maybe some ethereals and azshara, xalatath?

[micwini]

Guys, I just made a start, im not a photoshop expert.
Also: Tuck Sailor Fwift

[Cheezits]

Someone please add three pirates/kakapos howling at an Eluney moon.
