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

"The text predates Sargeras' rule"

,,,Chaos Gods confirmed?

I didn't see that, that's pretty cool. Big implications for demons.

And how would elements be shown differently from how they are a major factor in this expansion? Is the world revamp specifically for Deepholm and Vashj'ir?

The elements could start invading current zones

Thrall and the heroes of the alliance and horde could use Azeroth's elements to repel a light invasion. Essentially the Shaminism of the Orcs versus the Light/Naaru power of the Draenei.

Remember when you said others were twisting things to fit their ideas...

The gish (fighter/mage) is a classic and extremely popular fantasy archetype that has remained unfullfilled in WoW. Mechanically multiple specs absolutely cover it (Enhancement, Frost DK are the most obvious) but thematically it is so different that it just doesn't work. That said, they have not used that archetype for WoW NPCs at a major scale; sure there are spellblades but they are not faction leaders etc. So similar to bard, it is common in fantasy but not that common in WoW.

Evokers didn't even exist and they still got Aug

This means one of 2 things:

1. This was during a time pre-Legion, where the Demons basically ruled VIA who the strongest was.

Or 2. There IS a Pantheon of Chaos, and we either haven't seen them yet, or Sargeras either destroyed them and/or took some of their Demons for his crusade. Hell, it is possible they ate eachother up.

Tho, i like the idea that they're still out there somewhere. Metzen would be PERFECT for an expac like that.

Imagine if it's just one being with multiple personalities

Pantheon of Chaos with Denathrius as the main villain seemingly being their pawn but working to usurp them whilst also running the new Legion would be the only cosmic expansion I wouldn’t mind getting in stead of a world revamp for next expansion.

Set it on Nathreza, have us visit other Legion worlds in patch content such as Xoroth and Rancora (little throwback to Portal boss in Antorus with those three worlds) and I’d be pretty content.

Perfect opportunity to give us the return of Archimonde and Teron Gorefiend too.

I bet this will be the best hype train yet!

It also means that I'll not be able to keep up with this thread anymore as soon we start reaching 20+ pages every day.

Definitely, the hype is on the air.

Btw, I'm so happy that #TeamWorldRevamp went from the back of the train in 10.0 to the front in 11.0.

The broken being in the Eradar unlock quest and the fel green Space Goat racial really got me thinking about the random question they added in the FAQ for 10.2. I wonder if Allied Races will be coming back in a big way. I could see them reordering some to be a sort of sub species and adding the Broken in the near future. Like, you create a dwarf then go one to pick if it's Wildhammer, Dark Iron, or Ironforge flavors like how it works for DnD.

WoW: Awakening

Very nice, your stuff is always top notch (though didn't you already use that one once?).

[Xilurm]

The R is different. Unless this has something to do with Classic.

I was wondering how long it would take for the "Awakening" word to appear.

Although, I need to say that it brings me bad memories and a bad feeling.

Every time this thing appeared in the last TWO (9.0/10.0) speculation threads, we did not get the World Revamp... so...

[Lazarel]

I changed it a little bit here and there from the last one

[Luck4]

And... the Case is closed.

Geez, this one was fast. LMAO

Which one?

[Seasz]

how many times do we have to go through this?

[Hitei]

It was very obviously a joke.

[Santandame]

If we meet the Pantheon of Chaos, then we need to explore more of the Nether BEYOND the Legion worlds we're used to.

Why?

We already have pre-established worlds that are rooted in chaos and fel. No need to piss the player base off by introducing a brand new planet when we already have several to use. The pantheon of chaos can reside in their own little chaotic dimension that we’d no doubt visit in patch/raid content.

[Marlamin]

And... the Case is closed.

I genuinely remember their name from last time. Genuinely good fake leaks/10.

[Luck4]

Just for reference...

Q: How many "Awakening" logos?
A: Too many...

[Houle]

Fine.

One more update before bed.

Niiiiice
Definitely needs the alleged cinematic pic leak in it tho

[Santandame]

Yeah Blizzards aversion to just outright doing subraces is one I don’t understand.

I don’t see why we can’t have our normal character creation screen then say underneath Dwarves you have the option to select Bronzebeard, Wildhammer, Dark Irons and Frostborn and then you spawn in say Aerie Peak if you choose Wildhammer with just the one quest saying “Our Bronzebeard allies need help, answer the call” with a gryphon sending you directly to Dun Morogh - granted if you aren’t doing the new standard intro for new characters.
