Midnight 12.X Patches & World Soul Saga Speculation Thread

[Sondrelk]

Anyone recognise the armourset on this BE female in this img as I've checked PTR Rogue, Druid and Hunter and it doesnt match them that I can see in the dressing room?

It's the plate set.

[Wangming]

Yeah, my guess too. They need to add more support specs ASAP, so any new class lined-up would almost surely have 1 support spec.

Hopefully for the benefit of classes that only have DPS specs so far. It boggles my mind why rogue does not have an evasion tank yet.

[Sondrelk]

We could see it, but it might not be any bigger part of the expansion than Uldum was for Cataclysm.

The issue i have with that line of thinking is that it edges closer to assuming a world revamp will make the same mistake Cataclysm did by not utilizing the world revamp.

Any new and unique endgame zone in a world revamp is one less chance to use older zones, and maybe that is a good thing, maybe it isn't.
I would however rather a world revamp at least try to utilize the zones it revamps.

Me too, bro. Me too. I'm just saying, Algar might not be a big part.


Oh very off topic, but FFXIV just revealed a wild west zone. They gonna have their own badlands. HS style badlands.

another desert with rocks like 40% of the zones of the game?

[pacotaco]

Just the abbreviation SoA.

The leaker said it was a world revamp named SoA

Altho Im gonna go out on a limb here and assume that a revamp named SoA is: X of Azeroth.

Maybe Shadows over Azeroth?

Considering the new continent is designed after America I'd wager it would be more wild west than Thanalan. But you are right they do have quite a few rocky deserts.

[Raetary]

I don't see Blizzard using Vahj'ir and Deepholm for a revamp.
Deepholm is too out of the way, and we know how Vashj'ir ended up in cata.

So maybe Khaz Algar could be a Vashj'ir/Deepholm replacement that they can dress up as the shiny new expansion location.
A megazone consisting of 2-3 smaller zones, deep underground.

There also seems to be Underground styled zones and dungeons there too.

[Wangming]

Or perhaps. Shadows on Azeroth.

I wonder if we can do something with or?

Shadowlands or Azeroth?

[Raetary]

If Magni's involved, how about "Snorting of Azerite"?

River cruise dungeon from Diablo Immortal
And a Darth Maul job. Can you imagine that as a third Demon Hunter spec?

Bard confirmed. Plays a concert and snorts azerite in the backstage after.

Honestly has me very interested in, the graphical upgrades are very nice aswell, I love the idea of wild west style and the fact they are making armours represent the jobs more than shared armour sets.

That could work, yes. Although personally I would rather have them try to do a better job at Vash'jir instead of throwing it away.

And they just announced a Final Fantasy XI raid, because it is having a 20 year anniversary.

Yeah, my husband just got very excited over that, I never got to play 11 sadly.

And a new limited job

Yes, this is very off topic people, I apologize. But how much content an expansion comes or how it handles anniversaries is a bit relevant to our current discussion.
By the way they are discussing the graphics update.

Would love if they added a few questlines Vashj'ir regardless though. Don't even have to graphically update the zone, just some questlines with the Ankoan and Naga.
Just something fun for those that liked the zone.

Probably not going to happen, but I will hold out hope.

Same apologies for going off topic.

Same. Vashj'ir is one of my favorite zones/magazines. The music, art, and story are so cool.

I think they could do it better now with the tech and experience they have, as well as graphical elements they couldn't really do before without making stuff clunky.

I wish we had a Vashj'ir zone that was more on the sandbox side like patch zones are done.

[NikolaiShade]

Sorry, I'm a little behind, is the SoA leak legit?
