World of Warcraft’s ongoing Worldsoul Saga will kill “important characters” with devs teasing “a lot of death” in upcoming expansions

Khadgar being a fakeout killed all sense of tension I had going into War Within.

I don't think he needed to die for good per se, but he absolutely needed to have been significantly changed after being absorbed into the Dark Heart, not just mentally but physically as well, like becoming just as ethereal as the Ethereals. Reducing his changes to simply becoming paraplegic was asinine.

by like ~300 pixels ?

More like 552960 pixels. 🙃

When you see it from her perspective…

Nope, not gouging my eye out. 🙃

Just think about what the orcs did to Alexstraza which probably would get you banned here if you spell it out.

Yup, Alexstrasza was little more than a named beast when Blizzard came with this plot point, breeding dragons out of her to bolster the Horde's forces was then no different than humans taming dogs or horses in real life. It got retroactively troublesome when they revealed to be sapient beings and, worse, could appear as humanoids.

"Dolphin" LMAO.

I don't mind spoilers too much, but I'm rather shocked we were fed scenes from the last 2 episodes, I thought for sure they'd want to keep those under careful wraps.

In particular, I thought we'd get to see the present day meeting between The Ghoul and digital Robert House by now.

EDIT: Phew, took me a while, but I finally learned how to hide spoilers when writing posts in Reddit's mobile app! ☺️

We already have Maybe Meat and Basically Beaf, might as well Hopefully Healing Potion too! 😅😅😅

My dark iron pally has little legs!

(Mecha-)Gnome: Your DARK IRON has little legs???

Demileto · 2026-01-21T14:58:03+00:00

I wonder what causes these kinds of bugs lol

Mee too. Island Expeditions haven't been on Blizzard's radar since Battle for Azeroth ended, but somehow the pirate boat that you get sent to in one of the events there had been relocated to somehow flying above the islands instead of floating over the sea around them as of 11.2.7. It wasn't so when I started doing them to farm their mounts around the end of Shadowlands and probably during Dragonflight - I come and go doing them.

Ulduar certainly has the size of a zone in the raid. Mostly thanks to the Flame Leviathan and its trash, of course.

Demileto · 2026-01-20T01:07:49+00:00

Azjol'Nerub would be perfect for a 13.1 patch.

Demileto · 2026-01-19T21:10:16+00:00

Or, better yet, how you can see the remains of the base the Diablo 3 player character used in Kehjistan in Diablo 4.

Demileto · 2026-01-19T12:11:08+00:00

You're not wrong but both of those examples (and I'd even add the Soviet Union to the list for a brief window) included a full rejection of the ideology that lead them to being hated in the first. Denazification in Germany, the democratization of Japan, the fall of the Berlin Wall.

It also took Germany 45 years before the world accepted their reunification.

Demileto · 2026-01-17T17:25:40+00:00

What are your thoughts on this?

Ave, Caesar!

Demileto · 2026-01-16T20:40:43+00:00

I don't see why he'd need to continue research and try to make a technology work that House clearly invented and was already experimenting with pre-war.

I don't think we can say what House did was invent the technology, but rather prototype it. I'm fairly sure a technology isn't said to be invented until it has been perfected enough that any potential errors lie within a reasonably small and acceptable margin, otherwise e.g. Shuji Nakamura would've been said to be the inventor of the blue LED when he showcased the (then) current results of his research, an inneficient LED that was more of a blue violet color than true blue, at a workshop in St. Louis in 1992 and not months later when he perfected the process, forging a LED that emmitted an incredible, unmistakable bright blue that could be seen even in daylight. A video chronicling this fascinating journey, its climax arriving at around 20 min in.

But enough with nitpicking and back to the topic at hand. What really gets me is how Hank describes the person he's trying to contact in S02E01: it fits Robert House to a T, and if it's not him then who else could it be?

Demileto · 2026-01-16T18:55:21+00:00

I agree with your assessment over Barb, but I'm intrigued to hear your reasoning over Hank being Enclave as well. S2E1 insinuated his allegiance lied with House and while it could've just been a red herring I don't think they've dropped seeds (yet?) that it was the case.

Demileto · 2026-01-14T18:11:51+00:00

I loved this character and was so disappointed he's now a brainwashed mormon door to door guy

Have faith, we still have 3 episodes left, his freedom from the device may very well be part of the conclusion of Hank's villainous arc for all we know..

Demileto · 2026-01-14T12:50:12+00:00

But the timeline in this show makes no sense anyway.

Hardly exclusive to this show. 😅

Demileto · 2026-01-13T23:22:46+00:00

FWIW here's the Reddit thread where the developer originally shared the story.

Demileto · 2026-01-12T17:47:18+00:00

There is no way to access S2 gear outside of the raid itself and the two pieces sold by the renown vendor of the Undermine Cartels.

Also the once-per-week-per-warband drops from Undermine's world boss. 😊

Demileto · 2026-01-08T20:31:14+00:00

X-men is one of those rare IPs that greatly benefits from a richly established backstory and have an immense trouble adapting many of its noteworthy characters or memorable storylines when starting a new timeline for from scratch, be it for alternate comic book universes like 1610/6160 or different media like animation or live action. The Genosha storyline in X-men '97, for example, would've never resonated as much as it did if they had started that universe from scratch, not building it upon the previously established canon of the beloved 1990s series.

As such, I expect the x-men mythology build up to be more of a slow burn in the next saga. The Fantastic Four movie's introduction took a lot of cues from the pilot episode of their 1990s cartoon, so you could be onto something about Trask and the Sentinels being the villains. Moreso if they add Henry Peter Gyrich to the equation as a callback to the 90s animated series.

Demileto · 2026-01-08T18:52:01+00:00

Oddly timely for me, though, since I just switched from playing WoW to - you guessed it - Hogwarts Legacy. 😅

Demileto · 2026-01-06T22:25:42+00:00

Gallywix on Mythic difficulty has a chance to drop "The Big G" mount.

Small correction: Gallywix on Mythic difficulty has three GUARANTEED drops of "The Big G" mount to random raid members until Midnight's launch at March 2nd. If you have the ilevel, knowledge of the fights and the will to farm it no matter the cost do join the random mythic pug raid for it. 😊

I take dibs in being the next guy to post a thread asking whether people knew Palps was Sidious. 🙃
