Midnight 12.X Patches & World Soul Saga Speculation Thread

[Cheezits]

That leaves us with:

S.A.F.E - ?
Survey Bot - ?
Ysergle The Dreamurk - Blizzcon pet likely
Storm Rider: Bronze - Probably a dragonriding(stormriding) event
Storm Rider: Silver - Probably a dragonriding(stormriding) event
Storm Rider: Gold - Probably a dragonriding(stormriding) event
Squally - Blizzcon mount, maybe that elemental on the preview graphic?
Fyrn - ???
Lil' Frostwing - Almost sounds like the Wrath CE pet, maybe its for some kind of Wrath classic promo with ICC being released?
Heroic Edition: Algarian Stormrider - "Heroic Edition" still says expansion mount, heroic edition is the level where a mount is included. Gryphon texture is still legit isn't it? Probably still fits here.

Stormrider / stormriding seems like it would be a part of the pre-expansion event.

SAFE is a unit from Rumble. Survey Bot is probably attached to that.

Ysergle is probably Blizzcon, but could be a CE pet if they are doing two again this year.

Frostwing is an anniversary pet I think.

Squally is PROBABLY the pet that comes with the Stormrider as both are themed after storms. So CE mount.

Fyrn is the real mystery.

Frostwing is the 19th anniversary pet

Something tells me I will spend the entire Blizzcon telling the devs "Stop trying to make Rumble happen"

I really hope it doesn't take away too much time in the opening ceremony.

Making this much fuss over a mobile game is weird.

[ro9ue]

The question is, why a lil Magtheridon ?

Not sure if Lil Rag and Lil KT were tied to anything when they were released. Anyone remember? They might just pick some iconic villain character from the games history and cute-ify it.

Does anyone still think that we will never have a revamp?

I dunno, I think they should. Seeing the lion statues in Stormwind makes me lol every time. It desperately needs it. They might from a business perspective not think it's worth the investment though. In my mind, I feel like they've been creating so many newer assets that can be repurposed. I'm sure it's still a lot of work, but I look at Suramar and think... this can be a recolored Silvermoon. Or all of the Human architecture from the Garrisons and Arathi warfront and think, aren't these pretty solid building blocks to start remaking Stormwind with?

Blizzcon ticket in 2019 had 2 pets, sylvanas and anduin so i guess ysera and fyrakk murlocks might be a part of this year bundle.

Fyrn being the Murloc Fyrakk?

Fyrn doesn't sound particularly Murlocy, but maybe it is a pet that comes with Blizzcon anyway.

[Marlamin]

Fyrn is the real mystery.

We did figure out the Fyrn battle pet uses some wind/air elemental-related assets and is tied to a no-customization dynamic flying mount, that's about it.

[ImTheMizAwesome]

would fit kinda - Ysera life and fyrakk fire/destruction

Opposites like sylvanas and anduin i guess, but can't bet on that.

After the "do you not have phones" incident they should know better on how much time and how much hype to set for a mobile game.

[pacotaco]

Maybe it's stupid but: fern + fyrakk/fire

That's weird, I don't know why it wouldn't be the CE then. So another bundled mount + pet, but NOT part of the CE as it's not tied to the Stormrider?

What are the implications of TWO wind-themed dynamic flying mounts coming out at the same time here?

[Gurahk]

I think Rumble won't be part of the opening ceremony, and if it is it'll likely be shown off real quickly, maybe like half a minute of a trailer that then transitions into the more meaty Warcraft presentations.

Let's hope they learned from the 1st of April Diablo Immortal, and just passes something real fast on Rumble

I mean, it's possible they split up the keys a bit and they're all kind of related. Right now it seems to me that the pre-order mount (customizable, dynamic flight) is separate from "unknown mount A" (not customizable, also dynamic flight), but they might be closely tied together as well in a way that isn't obvious through the metadata.

I guess the second mount could be the Nightmare Drake, as the Old Drake models could have dynamic flight by the time they release. But I don't know why the pet would be called Fyrn and have wind particles.

[Pheraz]

Just watched talis vid and I like his interpretation of the things we know
That the hidden continent is not reachable because there is a great monster massive storm between kalimdor and it
And that we need the Wildhammer gryphon rider skills to cross it

[Cheezits]

Also I guess we don't know the reason the tabards got hotfixed.

[Marlamin]

They're likely used on the creatures from the same hotfix which at this point I expect to be for the Eastern Kingdoms cup which should be starting in ~4 hours on EU.

I think Rumble will be bigger than Immortal. Rumble is trying to go after the clash royale market share. However, I agree the amount of people going to Blizzcon that want to hear about Rumble is slow. I do look forward to playing it while waiting in lines however.
