Midnight 12.X Patches & World Soul Saga Speculation Thread

[pacotaco]

What would the totems be? Probably look a lot like all the recolored weapon models we’ve been getting. Gaudy, metallic, magic glows. Could be a lot of fun “Incarnate” themes there. Maybe some nods to them for each totem. I would totally play a Dracthyr Druid too, although I think I wouldn’t love just a bunch more dragon alternate forms.

Easy. Miniature versions of this:



As for the druid forms, some of them can be reused:
- Travel form: hornstrider.
- Flying form: the ohnaran eagle.
- Aquatic form: ottuk.
- Cat form: the scaled sabretooth indigenous to the Isles.
- Bear form: the polar icy bears from Azure Span.

What if the next xpac is titan themed and along with an archeology revamp we also get Path of the Titans. An account wide system with QoL or outdoor combat only bonuses. Something that would take years to unlock everything but its account wide.

I would love a borrowed power type stytem but account wide and for mostly QoL features and solo world power only.

Like Fishing takes 5% less time.
Hearthstones only take 8 secs to cast.
Unmounted movement speed increased by 1,2,3,4,5%
Mounted movement speed increased by 10/20/30/40/50% (note not for dynamic flying)
Dynamic flying vigor recharges 5/10/15/20/25% faster
Cooking has a 5/10/15% chance to make double the food.
Movement speed inside legacy instances increased by 10/20/30/40/50%
Out of combat health regen increased by 20/40/60% while outdoors.
Skinning has a 10/20/30% chance to aoe skin all nearby beasts.
Legacy reputation gains increased by 15/30%
Chance to loot cloth increased by 10/20/30% while outdoors.
Second Hearthstone Legendary capstone talent. Your hearthstone has 2 charges.
2nd location Hearthstone Legendary capstone talent. You can now select from 2 locations to hearth to.

Stuff like that as an account wide overtime unlock system would be amazing.

I just want Avaloren. Anything/everything else doesn’t matter.

What do you think is on Avaloren?

[Lady Atia]

Wait.... Dark Nexus Deathwing was literally the last skin added to HotS... Could it be they announce they're going back to updating Hots?

As someone who spends quite a bit on HotS skins back when it was hot ... that would make me so fucking happy. The death of HotS pretty much showed me that you can't trust Blizzard to keep stuff "for eternity", which is the reason I'm not even interested in investing in any of their newer ip's anymore besides WoW. How they handled the whole game (first thinking that esports are the future and than killing it) was prolly their biggest mistake besides warcraft 3 reforged tbh.

At this point, it'll be very hard for Blizzard to drop the ball really. Practically all of the rumoured expansion themes sound great.

Oh no, you've gone and said it. Pack it up, we're headed back to Korthia.

If there was one thing I would really love is for them to implement something like this "Legacy Content Talent Tree" that was floating around years ago.

Im open for everything except full underground expansion theme.

Even if Avaloren is a mix of the Maw and Mechagon?

Mechagon was pretty fun.

[Santandame]

Here are the top 10 zones I hope Blizzard do not draw inspiration from for 11.0:

1. The Maw
2. Korthia
3. Maldraxxus
4. Revendreth
5. Zereth Mortis
6. The Broken Shore
7. Antoran Wastes
8. Krokuun
9. Dread Wastes
10. Nazmir

Disagree on Nazmir. It’s one of the best zones ever added in terms of combination of story, atmosphere, vibe and theme. They really nailed the Heart of Darkness vibe. Every single original BfA zone was excellent.

I would take out Revendreth and put Bastion in. That place had me singing: I'm blue da-ba-dee da-ba-da, the entire time. And trust me, that's not a good thing.
Would also swap Nazmir with Hellfire Peninsula.

[ImTheMizAwesome]

Revendreth is still one of my most hated zones based on the fact that before flying was added, lvling and doing content in that zone was just pure ass.

Really? I think Blizzard nailed the theme. I could see Nathreza effectively be an extended Revendreth. Just less ruined (well before Illidan blew it up)

Nazmir and Revendreth are great, besides Revendreth's verticality being vaguely troublesome if you're using a ground mount and don't know how to navigate it.

Zereth Mortis and Maldraxxus are good zones that suffer from poor layout. If they were expansive, more naturally distributed zones instead of awkward circles, they'd be great.

I meant more like from gameplay perspective - i honestly only remember horrid experience from that place before flying, because you spend most of the time in these zones before patches and sometimes reaching world quests areas were really annoying.

Graphics, theme and style of course is great, it's not one of my favorite styles, but besides my personal feelings about it, revendreth is really unique looking place.

How long before Dragonflights announcement was that guy posting pictures of Drek'thar saying the new race was related to him but with some thing changed?

That's the first mention of Dracthyr that I remember.

[Santandame]

Revendreth is interesting. I had high hopes for it as a sort of Transylvania/Worgen forest. But the way it ended up being mostly Dracula's castle, and with how depressing the music and art felt, it just wasn't for me.

Bastion was too vanilla, too samey and bland. But it didn't annoy me the same way, because you could at least find a few pretty spots and enjoy some lively music now and then.

I think that’s a very apt description for Bastion. On my first play through I loved it. Now it’s the one SL zone I dread levelling through. It’s extremely samely with very little variety. It does have the luxury of being a very pretty zone though.

I think that was like a week or 2 from reveal.
