Midnight 12.X Patches & World Soul Saga Speculation Thread

[Colonel Sandor]

For those of you who are Avaloren leak believers. What kind of animated short would you like to see? What do you think they'll be called? BFA had warbringers, SL has afterlives, DF has legacies.

Legends

- Falstad Wildhammer
- Thrall
- (The green dragon lady in the emerald dream book)
- Odyn

Hmm... I'm sorry guys, I actually faked this comment :/ , here's the evidence;

Brother... no... please...

[Woke it Up]

november 3 will be a good day

"we've combined maps so no loading screens" level of a good day?

[Paula Deen]

J. Allen Brack shows up.

"So WoW is 20 years old and in that time, a lot of people who grew up with WoW now have kids that play WoW. Recently, my wife and I had our first daughter. Now, when it comes to names, it can be hard to choose. Eventually, we narrowed it down to two. My wife liked the name Ava. I liked the name Lauren..."

Yeah I really thought the weirdest part of Blizzcon 2023 was when Ion Hazzikoztas took the stage and just began reading everyone's Social Security Numbers aloud and passing a judgement of 1 through 10 based on his subjective opinion of how easy it was to say the number out loud.

It was also really bizarre when Metzen walked up afterwards and just started pointing at a blank wall yelling get ready for the Splash Mode and a poorly photoshopped image of Phil Spencer appeared edited to appear like he was fighting in the Dark Below Zone of Splashran.

no loading screens on EK. dungeons still have them

[Xilurm]

At least that zone, (or at least a part of it) looks dense. Gonna enjoy walking through that.

Revamped Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor and player house in the form of boats so we can go sail from one to the other.

It'll never, ever, ever happen. But It would be fun.

I don't believe in the leak, but do expect at least khaz algar.
I'd like for it to be a series of animated shorts focused on the state of Azeroth today; ie: one with Genn narrating the current sociopolitical state of stormwind after years under Turalyon, another one showing the progress of Lordaeron/undercity's "restoration", etc

[Hitei]

They really are the creator of the fakes, but they made a fake account to say they are responsible for the fake in the fakest way possible. This is so they can make it seem like the people who called it fake would now rally behind and say "see, we told you it was fake", when in reality, they would then show up on their main to say "Pssh, what happened to all this evidence you guys had that said it was fake. That wouldn't be possible if it was AI."

He's the real fake leaker pretending to be the fake fake leaker to support the real fake leak as being authentic.

I won't lie, this thought did cross my mind.

[Paula Deen]

On topic of hopes if Avaloren is real;

The Zones give off mad high fantasy vibe. I will be pretty upset if we don't get some bomb Hammered Dulcimer music.

One for 4 or 5 different Titan keepers, notably Odyn and Tyr.

[Draedarr]

Hoping they improve ray tracing. I want actual reflective surfaces and metals etc.

Tha's for sure, a DLSS and FSR support would be nice, the Resolution scaling they are using are bad

I laughed entirely too hard at this.

Freaking Nvidia can't even implement there own versions in there own software correctly, I have little faith Blizzard will do it better...which is a shame because the tech does have some true potential.

If I have one hope for out-of-game media this expac, it's to get another audio-play like we got in Legion.

Audio Dramas are really popular right now so I honestly would not put it past them.

[Woke it Up]

Ek kalimdor would be the dream but ty

[Rathwell]

Archaedas (Khaz'goroth), Tyr (Aggramar), Odyn (Aman'Thul), Loken (Norgannon) perhaps? Although Loken is dead, so maybe it'd be worth only having Tyr be "dead".

Loken's story might be nice to see though. Freya and Hodir aren't all that interesting

[NoTimeToDie5426]

For real though. The multi-media of Legion is unmatched. Turalyon, Khadgar, and Gul'dan VAs KILLED it the audio-only things.

What if the Avaloren screen shots are just a red herring made by the devs?
