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

[Teriz]

The Void Lords have been said to be weaker than the Titans though. It’s a Void Lord corrupted Titan they fear.

Teriz, I don’t understand. You are literally a walking, talking contradiction. You’re on record to say we shouldn’t fight Azshara because we’ve already beaten her and that she’s allegedly beneath our power level. Now you’re claiming we shouldn’t be fighting Void Lords because it’s a ridiculous power creep, even though we’ve fought Titans and Eternal Ones.

Make it make sense, stick to an actual argument.

No, I said we shouldn't fight Azshara again because we've already fought her, and she brings along a thematic that we've already experienced multiple times. The fact that you need to elevate her to the umpteenth level in order to make her a relevant antagonist and avoid a thematic retread proves my point. We shouldn't need antagonists being the literal creator of worlds and gods to be relevant or interesting.

I mean, it's not like the Titans had a way of stopping the Void Lords tbf...

And the Void Lords themselves are rather jealous of the Titans and their power over the Dark Beyond.

Also, how do we beat Azshara? Well...

We just get some power amps, some really crazy weapons and armor, and bam! EZ!

I believe the point is that we shouldn't be fighting titans, first ones, and void lords on a consistent basis. It ruins the game over time.

1000 pages hype!

would you like it if blizzcon panels focuses solely on remaining content for dragonflight but provides a date for next expansion announcement?

Nah I want a full xpac announcement tbh.

No. It would completely deflate hype unless the remaining stuff in Dragonflight is beyond amazing.

that would be lame. let's be honest, most don't care about dragonflight anymore. they need that new expansion hype

Dragonflight is done as far as I’m concerned. I wouldn’t be against a quick panel showing us whatever 10.2.5 etc will be but I’d want pretty much the majority of panels devoted to 11.0.

You do realize that currently the Game Files and Interviews except for Gamespot points to DF being essentially "done and dusted" (The only legitimate counter is: Holly's comment on 8 Week Cadence which does not fit with any schedule other than 10.2.5/10.2.7 existing or 10.2.5/10.2.7/10.3/10.3.5/10.3.7.)

Again, there is a chance they will attempt to "wow" us but really bad business decisions have been made this Blizzcon which leaves bitter taste for those aware while those who are not are blissfully ignorant.

The best case would have been to have everything be hype and 3 Major Patches stay as standard but it seems they want to move to less.

They just are not in the mindset of playing ball with the community, the only way this works is if the announcements are exemplary good to overshadow the bad.

[Polybius]

Shadowlands has nothing to do with the void.
And no one seemed to complain about Abberus’ void stuff.

The biggest complaints since BFA were in regards to dark, muted colors and the lack of Azeroth connected landmass. The Void is a major antagonist, yes, but that doesn’t mean we leave Azeroth’s other problems behind. This screams of Nzoth 2.0.

Dragonflight basically ended the moment Iridikron left.

[Foreign Exchange Ztudent]

Dragonflight basically ended the moment Iridikron left.

Moreso his speech which foretold the next 2 expansions, at least. Doesn't seem like Danuser will be declawed anytime soon. He's got iron grip on this franchise.

I can't imagine a reason why they'd do that. They would have shown the Dragonflight reveal cinematic in fall 2021 if there had been a Blizzcon then.

Dragonflight basically ended the moment Iridikron left.

No reason he won't be back before its end.

Unless again they intentionally file for the sake of hype.

They have a lot of different title trademarks they will never use though. World of Warcraft: Eye of Azshara is a real trademark they have had since 2011

Correct me if I’m wrong but I thought the trademark was for “Eye of Azshara” and not “World of Warcraft: Eye of Azshara”

Which was filed not too long before Legion, the expansion that the Eye of Azshara dungeon was added.

Page 1000. Time flies. Insane stuff all around.
Ready for World Revamp.

[Fiercelord]

Ayyyyy Happy 1000 pages!

That one never got trademarked properly, nor was it the full "World of Warcraft: Eye of Azshara" title, just "Eye of Azshara" and only in the benelux trademark database and it got cancelled later on for an unknown reason, so not one they still have.

[Worldshaper]

1000 pages hype!

Oh, and those screenshots like fake as heck.

BTW, didn't Blizzard start using some loophole for their trademarks a few years ago? I remember that we'd scan the databases like crazy back in the day. But we haven't been able to do that for years.

Is that now a possibility again?

Oh, and also about the screenshots - they could hypothetically show the underground cave inside Azeroth, because I don't think we're seeing any stars and stuff? Just weird colours and energy beams. I also think there's colour overload going on here. I doubt a Blizzard art director would approve of that. My eyes almost hurt by just looking at these small thumbnails.

[Kiivar86]

Can I ask y'all something rq?

Canonically, how bad would our player characters PTSD be?

- - - Updated - - -

Cause you know damn well they have at least some of it

I'd say at this point they've probably become just jaded and moved beyond it. Or just a broken shell.

[Raetary]

1k pages hype!

Cataclysm & BFA also did not include "World of Warcraft" as part of the trademark, just like Eye of Azshara. And they don't trademark individual dungeon names.
