Midnight 12.X Patches & World Soul Saga Speculation Thread

It's not an ice/snow elemental, it's lunar/moon.

New headcanon confirmed.

11.0- Wrath of the Elune

The silver fanciful metal with the blue gems is the standard in-house membership reward style for their longlasting employees. Check out their sword/shields, and the helmets that they are gifted for 5 years, 10 years, 20 years etc . It's "Blizzard" styled, likely nothing more than that.

You are correct which is actually more interesting because as I have just posted the 2021 blizzcon mount was actually a 30th year anniversary blizzard logo and did not have a blizzcon logo. This mount has no blizzcon logo it seems and could be blizzard branded instead of blizzcon.

[Well Done Steak]

You know all we ever seem to discuss is the story and theme of 11.0.

What about game features???

My money is on DH, shaman, paladin, and druid for all races and more classes for dracthyr.

I think evoker can be given to all races too with some imagination, like temporarily turning into an ethereal dracthyr form for abilities that call for it,.similar.to how DH turn into meta for eye beam.

[Reive]

an elemental expansion would be dogshit lmao. dragonflight was already mostly elemental

also, classic+?

Moon rock isn't blue. Plus the little piles of snow. It's a "Blizzard" Elemental with bindings modeled after the Polar Bear Mount jewelery. I'm sure there will be something hinting about the next expansion in the ticket but this ain't it.

The Blizzcon logo is on the bear's saddle bags.

Please no.

[Ferlion]

I think Druid is going to be one of the last all race/class announcements. A lot of work needs to go into unique forms.

[Cheezits]

Blizzcon ticket items usually don't hint at the next expansion, the only ones that did were the BFA flying machines AFAIK.

The Gryphon mount in the files is currently the most suspicious thing. That and the Nightmare Drake from Classic.

Rather, you mean the "Blizzard 30" logo is on the saddle bags. :P Doesn't say Blizz"Con". Fact check yourself before others meng

I have some hope for a few classes getting additional specs so we get more support.
And I still want an evergreen feature for solo-small group (1-5) advancement that would join M+ and Raiding as a reward path.

The chinese guy who predicted the last couple expansions also said 11.0 will be about Elemental Lords

[Foolicious]

Maybe. 10.2 gives druid a lot of newly designed forms for free. Yes they aren't inspired by a specific race, but i think people wastly overerstimate the amount of time it takes to implement druid forms.

Edit2: I was wrong that one above is wrong - the Chinese one was this:
" "Today, when reviewing the content of various wow expansions, I suddenly discovered a fact: the tbc expansion actually has two parts, the Draenor line and the Burning Legion line, corresponding to the wod and leg content respectively. That is to say, the 6.0 and 7.0 expansions are split from the 2.0 expansion. By continuing to speculate, 8.0 should correspond to the wlk’s old god line, 9.0 should correspond to the wlk’s scourge line, and the content should be about the new Lich King’s mischief and the Shadowlands. 10.0 and 11.0 correspond to ctm’s dragon line and element line, and the stories of dragons and elemental lords will end. 12.0 corresponds to mop’s alliance and horde war line, and it is speculated that the current major cities and faction leaders will usher in the last reshuffle. 13.0 corresponds to mop’s sha line, but this time the protagonist will be wow’s final boss----the Void Lord. Among 8.0~12.0, the void forces will appear frequently, and they are also the behind-the-scenes black hands of these expansions. The Burning Legion appeared in 2.0, after four expansions of 3.0~6.0, it ended in 7.0. The void forces appeared in 7.0, after four expansions of 8.0~12.0, they finally ended in 13.0.

As for whether 13.0 is the end of wow, it depends on whether Blizzard’s magic of “one breath into three clear” will continue. "

Had to use ChatGBT to translate it

The Dragonflight Villains were literally 4 elemental dragons.

Plus they wouldn't keep following that pattern 2 expansions after that prediction got publicity. The last thing they want is to predictable.

[Well Done Steak]

Oh yes, that too.

Paladin for sure, hopefully it's a dual wield spec.

I hope that none of the pure dps classes get a support. They need either heals or dps, otherwise it's a wasted opportunity.

Heals for mage and lock and tank for hunter and rogue

Chronomancy for mage, blood for locks, tank version of survival, and return of combat rogues as tanks.

As for more support, I can see priests with one, a chi ji monk one, return of blood dps as support

Warriors can get gladiator stance as a spec.

Shaman can get an earth tank spec.

DH can get a 2 hander dps and tank void themed specs.

And evokers a blue and green themed dot spec.

And druids can kick rocks, no fifth spec for you.

Yeah, good thing it'd be an expansion feature if anything. It's the 10th exp on the 20th anni. Time to go big.
