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

[Marlamin]

Last update for tonight.

Imma continue tomorrow once i get home.
Tag me or dm me and imma add more stuff.

The tree should canonically be on the far right, similarly over the horizon. Literally unplayable.

(Also, if we are doing non-canonical placements, maybe add the sword somewhere.)

Mogu work through the Zandalari ties Horde now have, even though the Zandalari-allied Mogu were evil/not Rajani (who are very likely the basis for the race, if they were put in)

This is a good point. I'm not sure how I feel about the Mogu and adding another big hulking race to the Horde, but I'd love some additional dive into their racial characteristics and lore through a player character.

Although I hope the Broken hint leans towards racial skins i.e., Dwarves > Dark Iron, Ironforge Wildhammer; Draenei > Eredar, Lightbound, Man'ari, Broken; Orc > Azeroth, Mag'har; and so forth.

Because they'll probably keep using the Dragonriding. Kalimdor's cup made the world feel small and when you compare its scale to any new continent since Legion, it really feel small.

The game would benefit from a little upscale anyway. I mean, the size of Dun Morogh's borders is ridiculous. Ironforge needs to be in a giant mountain.

It's not that small. Individual zones are, sure. But that's not much different from dragonriding making the Green Dragonflight area of Ohn'ahra plains feel small, or making Valdrakken feel tiny.
Removing the zone boundaries to some extent would massively alleviate individual EK/Kalimdor feeling small, since you would mostly think of them as subareas of a larger zone.

You could use the Dragon Isles as a thought experiment for this. Just imagine that each zone is in fact two or three zones, each with its own specific look and feel.
Azure Span would be the forest area on one side, and the icy side on another. Thaldrazus would be the fortress on the southern end, the Titan area in the middle, and the Rocky area with the a ademy floating above on the north end.
If you then put giant wall between these area they would all feel small, but remove them and they would feel bigger.
For that matter, imagine if there were giant walls between the regular zone boundaries, rather than the gradual transitions.

In a world revamp with Dragonriding i have faith that the developers will consider the feel of the zones as you fly over them. Similar to how they redesigned the world to accommodate flying back in Cataclysm.

What sword?

Seriously tho, if the sword is there, what sword has to be there.

It's very possible, it just calls into question how they will rehaul racials (and if they do this system, will they add a shit ton more racials? Will they not do this because they would need to change racials? How would race changes work?)

idea: giant HD quel'serrar in place of the sword in silithus :3 @Arafal

Fine.

One more update before bed.

You've got Taylor Swift on there taking up more space than Thrall, Chris Metzen and the Sword of Sargeras combined, and you're worried (even /s) about the tree's location.

CAN WE MAKE GREEN JESUS LESS GHOST PLZ

Taylor Swift is a STAMPLE of the speculation thread, she's been on hype trains for YEARS!

[Worldshaper]

I feel like we need a fortress with ridiculous AA guns pointing out of it, to represent Avaloren.

Maybe shadows above the sea somewhere.

On and perhaps the four elemental planes represented as little coloured portals?

Tentacles grasping Azeroth in the background ofc, at least one lil' thing poking out, all wriggly.

Maybe a pirate ship sinking?

She's just a monster on a hill, dude!

we need the revamp ships with "not pirate ships" ontop of them

Add ALL the unused revamped assets so far. *cackles*

[AOL Instant Messenger]

Fine.

I really ought to contribute to one of these. It's a time-honored tradition.

Tbh, the rare parrot should be on it too. It has never been more fitting.

[Super Dickmann]

The train needs Shadowlands 2.0: Bald Man Boogaloo assets.

[Nymrohd]

We obviously need the sword together with Ion. Ideally, the sword would be Ion's "third leg" and he'd be asking "What sword?"

Holy fuck yeah. Ion is missing!

Red Shirt Guy please.

I wonder if there's gonna be an awakenings leak this cycle.

[Cheezits]

It won't be the leak because that's the true expansion this year.
