Midnight 12.X Patches & World Soul Saga Speculation Thread

You need to give him some time to figure out how Magtheridon is linked to Undermine somehow.

ROFL

I wish this board had a like button

You know what would be awesome? If 11.0 is based on that quote from the book, A Song of the Depths. An expansion with zones based on, “Only then shall our Queen return to reign over sea and sky and earth. We must make ready.”

[Chickat]

I hope Metzen goes on stage this year and say line by line what he did for Cata announcement. Then BOOM... #teamworldrevamp

Edit: I just purchased a 2009 blizzcon t-shirt from ebay. Going to rep that in 30 days.

These are always so hype.

Big leak with Stormbringer that was then debunked once the high quality image showed up and was transparently AI generated. Then everyone got really excited about the big event today, which turned out to be Warcraft Rumble related.

Well, lame I guess. Real leaks are probably still 2-3 weeks away after all.

[Nebron]

Now that I think about all that hyping for Warcraft section at Blizzcon, I wouldn't be surprised if after the Arcane success, Blizzard pulled off their own TV series that'd be an interesting surprise!

Whole month for me to believe in the ogre dream..

I really like all the small account wide upgrade paths all across DF, I hope they iterate on this concept (and definitely keep it account wide) and not abandon it completely again.

What are these "small account wide upgrade paths all across DF"? beside dragonflight.

You see… Magtheridon is actually tied to the orcs because the Fel orcs drank his blood a lot in BC.
Thrall is an orc and he’s on the key art!!!
Thrall is good friends with Gazlowe
Therefore it makes perfect sense for Gazlowe to take us to the Undermine so tinkers confirmed!!!!!

This leak is pretty cool for a non-revamp one. Doubt they would say the final boss this early though.

Remember the Dragonflight “leak?” Got basically everything right EXCEPT for Murozond as the “final boss.” Or did they…

Especially not one with a twist. If you want to talk about final boss then you say something like "Iridikron", or "Xal'atath". Someone that would be obvious from the start.

Well you would know, what with working at Blizzard and all.

final boss is elune

Take all my middle fingers.

Well it will be available for download - they are most likely going to try and get everyone at blizzcon(and watching) to download it. My guess they might do a promo beyond the pre-order one they are doing for first week of playing probably?

I hope they start with it and quickly move on - I also fear they will take up panel time on rumble. I don't think they are going to turn it into an esport(god I hope they don't) so I don't think Rumble needs a panel beyond meet the artists hopefully. I want the max number of WoW Panels at Blizzcon.

If that is the case - why so secretive? Rumble has been in Beta for months it's all over YouTube.

Whelp the Creator event is INDEED warcraft rumble.
Oh god Blizzard is going to focus on this game during blizzcon arent they.

They got Ion there also.

That one also claimed "Dragonflight Covenants". I don't remember if that came before or after dracthyr was solved in scaleface's riddle, but it could've been piecing things together from that.

Magtheridon was in the Blood Furnace, which was filled with machinery.
At the end of the Orc Heritage questline several Outland tribes talked about moving to Azeroth permanently.
Thrall will reach out to the orcs who was enslaved by Magtheridon to harness the power left behind by the Legion, and together with the goblins create a new kind of hero for Azeroth.
This will give us tinkers, and explain why Orcs get to play as them, which is needed to give it that final push to become accepted.

corrected version

I'm missing the panel with "my opinion is fact, and everyone's opinion besides mine is objectively false"

Alternatively they are talking about it here so that they don't have to dedicate time at Blizzcon where the reception is going to be much more chilly.
Get all the vitriol from the full reveal out early, that way they can talk about it the bare minimum at Blizzcon.

[Xilurm]

Well doesn't the game come out during blizzcon? Says november 3rd.

They already said they won't do revamps that change the whole spec like they did for survival again. If we get something like an archer rogue (could fit quite well as a bard) it will be a new spec.

Oh god, that Magtheridon pet is the stuff of nightmares.

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.

IIRC Squally is explicitly a battle pet, and under the same encryption key as the Stormrider. Decent but defs not guaranteed chance of it being a mini version of it.

The achieve for the blizzcon mount wasn't in the API leak, but I wouldn't be surprised if that has something to do with the mount originally being intended for the canned blizzcon, and therefore the linked achieve being added in a different, non-dodgy tranche.

S.A.F.E is apparently the female gnome character from Rumble? Maybe we'll get a tiny gnome in a plane as a pet.

Lil Frostwing is the mini version of the blue deathwing mount we're getting for the 19th anniversary.

[Cheezits]

I think they will use the Rumble event as a time to discuss next expansion details with certain people. No reason they wouldn't use the time to not go over it.
