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

[Le Conceptuel]

If you don't want to bother, the big spoiler is that versions of the Aspects with their Aspectral Power eyeglows were datamined

I'm still unreasonably annoyed about the use of the word "aspectral" instead of "aspectual". It sounds more like they're saying something is corporeal ("not spectral") than it has to do with aspects. The proper word for that is "aspectual".

I mean, if he has plenty of ammunition, that may indicate there's a grain of truth to his inference. As I've said before, although Teriz is painfully repetitive, he has been right in the past.

Only by pure accident though, not because of anything that logically followed from his claims.

What does that mean?

What about with the Augmentation thing? He was pretty reasonable in assuming we'd get a support spec when all the evidence was pointing that way, and there was still some opposition on that front simply because it was someone considered annoying and repetitive who was saying it.

What does that mean?

Nobody knows.

If a single corrupted tear from the nightmare can end an aspect (years) I'm pretty sure an entire old god is exponentially more powerful than an aspect, and therefore roughly that much more powerful than an incarnate. Neither an incarnate nor an aspect are even a fly compared to an old god, and elemental lords resisted them for hundreds or thousands of years.

They had already lost their power in Cata when that happened. I'm not sure if that is the reason Xavius was able to corrupt her so easily or not.

He made a lot of unreasonable assumptions about it that didn't pan out and was largely wrong about how it happened. So no, he was not.

Who's ready to buy the $200 anniversary edition?

Nobody knows.

10.2.5 or 11.0, whats more likely?

[Santandame]

He promised to write Calia fanfiction if 10.2 is the last major content patch of Dragonflight.

That’s the thing. There isn’t plenty of ammunition for Lightbound invasion next. A lot of what has been used as ammunition is pure mental gymnastics.

Yeah just like how he was right about Tinkers, lmfao.

[Santandame]

Just like how he thought the mechanical dragon mount meant we’d be getting Undermine in the following expansion. He swings a wide net and hopes for a catch then claims he predicted it whenever something is caught.

Either way, back on topic. If what’s been datamined is true regarding the Aspects then that seems pretentious final regarding the Dragonflight story.

What could 10.2.5 be about?

[Scyth]

would be nice to know why smolderon decided to ally himself with fyrakk

I would like an explanation about that too but so far there's been nothing, right?
Just watching testing now and doesn't seem like he even mentions anything. We just go in and deal with him. Very odd. You can't include the current Fire Lord, the one the Shamans pretty much put there, into a raid and not mention anything about it lol..

10.2.5 or 11.0, whats more likely?

Given it's an updated build number for 1.15, I'd guess if anything something classic related is more likely. Probably new seasonal stuff or something, maybe they'll finally do HD classic.

Odd choice. If there’s no intention of attaching any story to his being there then Blizz could have just opted for a newly created fire elemental character. Unless of course they just want a well known name their to make the raid seem more interesting. But again, what’s the point if there’s no story?

Considering Smolderon disappeared in BFA, wasn't around in Shadowlands, and then there was a five year timeskip... you defnitely can. Shamans aren't relevant to the current expansion for whatever reason.

Expect it to be a sidestory thing or 11.0 related.

I'm glad I'm not alone in not liking that word. Though for me its more just how its brought up and I don't ever recall hearing it before. It feels like a "what, we've always had this word, you're crazy" sorta thing.

Its like how suddenly in A Feast For Crows the word "nuncle" is used all over the place. Just sticks out.

I mean isn't it pretty straight-forward? The Incarnates whole deal, though they take individual approaches, is undoing Order control and retaking the planet for the primal forces (i.e. Elements). They're pretty unambiguously helpful from the pov of the elementals, it's not surprising that even one of the Elemental Lords joined up. The Earthen Ring voted for him, but they're also perfectly content letting the elements stay handicapped for the sake of the whole planet remaining in its current status quo.

[Woggmer]

What does that mean?

Looks to me like they're gonna get 10.2 and 10.2.5 ready within a matter of months... Are they speedrunning DF?

Edit: Sorry, got the numbers mixed up.
