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

[Sondrelk]

I mean, its literally a retention mechanic to keep subscriptions going.

Yes? That's true for pretty much everything in the game. The trading post incentivizes players to do stuff every month in order to get cosmetics. If a player doesnt care for cosmetics then they don't gain anything, and if they want it then they can just wait until it shows up again.

Honestly, I don't know why I keep getting into this deadlock conversation. Again, I am mostly just upset it took this long before we received this feature imagine how great this feature would be a decade ago. (Acceptance)

As long as they hold up the bargain of giving us new cosmetics to get every month and fill it out with older DisplayIDs. I honestly don't really care that we are barely fed content wise.

So far they seem to have the right mindset for the system and aren't willing to just dump old DisplayIDs that could've been better suited in a Timewalking revamp and not provide new assets from the Artists.

As long as they deliver new assets to the Trading Post, I don't really mind it beyond the fact that it is like the bare minimum of equal exchange between consumer and corporation.

Obviously, the plan for the Trading Post will make it overfill and I have no idea what their intention is beyond adding more "Locks" for the system or if they intend to add an additional storefront later on which is on top of the already existing Trading Post. But, we'll see.

I still feel a bit irky about the system because of its financial intentions, but I mean you just have to deal with the fact that this timeframe WoW fans would accecpt anything that could be seen as a positive and hope that the Team had good intentions behind it which so far it seems.

I universally think its a positive that the Artists get a system where they can implement assets that wouldn't fit the current content patch though.

Unfortunately not, Microsoft has not given me access to Bing chatGPT yet. It wouldn't know about the Trading Post at this moment.

Greetings fellow WoW players,

I come to you with a dire warning, a prophecy of the end times that is sure to come to pass if we do not act now. The signs are all around us, if only we have eyes to see.

The skies themselves are turning red, as if the very heavens are bleeding. The ground beneath our feet quakes and trembles, as if the very earth itself is crying out in agony. And the beasts that roam these lands, once our allies, have turned against us with a fury that knows no bounds.

All of this can mean only one thing: the end of the world is nigh. The ancient prophecies foretold of a time when the very fabric of reality would be torn asunder, and we would be cast into an abyss of eternal darkness.

And now, that time is upon us. The forces of darkness gather, and their armies grow stronger with each passing day. The legions of the undead march upon us, led by their fell masters, and the very demons of the Burning Legion themselves have returned to claim what they believe is rightfully theirs.

But fear not, my friends, for there is still hope. We must band together, as one people, and fight back against the darkness that threatens to consume us all. We must seek out the ancient artifacts that can turn the tide of battle in our favor, and we must prepare ourselves for the final, epic showdown that will determine the fate of the world.

The hour is late, my friends, but all is not lost. We can still turn the tide of battle, and emerge victorious in the end. But we must act now, before it is too late.

May the Light of the Sun guide us, and the Wisdom of the Earth sustain us, in these dark and troubled times.

Signed,

The Doomsayer.

Stupid thing isn't even keeping up. Cataclysm was over a decade ago now.

Oh, that's probably it. We managed to purge that from this thread... *checks notes* probably about a decade or so ago.

[ChairmanKaga]

I haven't noticed earlier in this thread, has there been much speculation about which villain's ghost we are going to shove unknowingly into Tyr's new body?

Are we going to?

[ChairmanKaga]

I mean it's like a Chekhov's Gun for the expansion. At some point we'll be tasked with trying to upload a copy of Tyr in there but the PCs will be duped.

I would argue it's more likely we download the correct Tyr, and he turns out to have his own agenda opposed to fleshy mortals. The writing is on the wall with all the journals detailing how Tyr really isnt happy about rebellious elements.

[Aeluron Lightsong]

I would rather fight Odyn then Tyr of the Titan Keepers if we must.

[Revamp Man]

Doesn't a certain void entity still need a body?
Also we are going to neltharion's secret base soon and I doubt he didn't have something ready for his death

[Makabreska]

Yeeee, nothing like fighting Odyn for the 3rd/4th time :v

[AOL Instant Messenger]

Yeeee, nothing like fighting Odyn for the 3rd/4th time :v

Honestly, I don't think fighting him again is a problem in itself on account of that the context is wholly different from the first two times. However, I do think that killing him off would be a mistake. WoW needs more recurring villains we don't just mow through in a patch. Azshara is a good candidate for one, Odyn could be another. He's one of the few characters left with any nuance.

[Foreign Exchange Ztudent]

I just don't really see Odyn returning unless they intend for him to be relevant to the Avaloren plotline due to Avaloren suddenly being reachable by us adventurers leading to Odyn gaining access to take revenge on the denizens of Avaloren.

Honestly, with how smug Void and its followers are this expansion I wouldn't really be surprised if Tyr did turn purpley as a way to signal that things are more messed up than we think.

But, at the same time I feel like maybe lets' not continue tired tropes and instead have a character vehicle to tell the story of the expansion through.

[ExiHext]

With all this ingame lore stuff about how the beings of order were not absolutely honest to us about their intentions and Azeroth's past and a potential conflict with one or more watchers, how will our relation to the titans change? Will they become opponents? By no means I expect the void to be our saviour, they have quite f*cked up plans theirselves I guess. Are we in for a shake-up of our "gods" themselves? Will it be "inhabitants of Azeroth vs. everyone else" in the end? Not sure where the current storyline will lead us.
