Midnight 12.X Patches & World Soul Saga Speculation Thread

[Varodoc]

That's pretty easy to do when that's all you deduce.

Clearly it wasn't for this thread, given how most people here were certain that the Old Gods would not be featured in 10.0 (before DF was announced).

But I've always known that Blizzard wouldn't drop the Old God plotline in 8.3, I've known this for years. I've known this since Blizzard decided that N'Zoth would be fought in an alternate dimension revolving around illusions BS.

Anybody not expecting Void/Old God influence hasn't been paying attention for the last 15 years. It's just so obvious that it isn't even worth noting for veterans.

So... congratulations on not being completely oblivious?

There are no Old Gods in Dragonflight.

No, no, you misread that one. The No Old God is there, not no Old God.

Until they retcon shadowlands, there's no hope for the lore. They can fix n'zoth but they cannot fix the jailer and shadowlands.

There is a lot more wrong with the NuLore than just Shadowlands, and no it will never be retconned. Just have to accept that the true WoW died with MoP/WoD and everything after is bad corporate fanfiction.

"I don't like it therefore it's bad "

What's "true WoW"?

[micwini]

I mean you have to admit writing took a big nosedive after Legion. It has never been good but since BFA its just a mess.

[Aeluron Lightsong]

Or we could stop being dramatic about Shadowlands "True wow died" I feel like I just time traveled to 2012, with that statement.

They also had to deal with quite a lot of bad behavior behind the scenes and the way I understand it, Blizz had to clean up Afriasbi's "mess"(Teldrassil burning and well letting the writing team have to deal with that...in a shock to them).

[loras]

Fifth old god name confirmed.
That's to say that his name is "", because he's just that void-y that he even a-void-ed a name.

Well to be fair Shadowlands' failures are hard to overstate.

The writing in Wrath was terrible, the writing in WoD was all over the place, TBC was an enormous dumpsterfire, so much so that they had to retcon the entire expansion.

MoP is the outlier, not "NuLore". It's the only expansion with a semblance of good writing and themes. All the other expansions (Shadowlands included) are on par with eachother.

True WoW (and Warcraft) is schlock with rules of cool where things just happen because they are cool, simple as.

If you think about anything from TBC/Wrath and to a certain extent Cata for more than 5 minutes you'll realize it's just poorly written altogether.

I got a sneaking suspicion that one of the pride months this expansion they're do something with chromie, to show the transness in game.
So it's legitimised, and not just in some fridge book.

The content and lore development we've all been waiting for.

[Revamp Man]

so i am going to say 10.1.5 mega dungeon will be voidy or twilight cult
i want to see chromatus so idc which one you can do so much with that guy

If past ones are any indication, it'll probably be something less directly related or even a completely unrelated storyline. Karazhan was a secondary front not directly connected to the main campaign on the Broken Isles, Mechagon had zero connection to the primary story of BfA and Tazavesh was also only vaguely tied to the story of SL.

My bet for the moment is on the Decatriarch resurfacing.

You and Huth are kinda missing the point...

Old God or Void INFLUENCE can still exist in DF, but there are no Old Gods overall in DF as of now.

Suggesting otherwise is dumb.

Weird, i distinctly remember saying influence. Maybe you should re-read that before you start railing against people you don't actually disagree with.

[Aeluron Lightsong]

When I said tinfoil hat I was kinda being super sarcastic and trying to be humorous. Like chillax, don't get your tentacles in a twist.

One of the pride months? It's just June.

That is my guess as well. My main reservation about it is that we are getting Brackenhide in S2 instead of S1. Why have the gnoll dungeon if you are also going to have a Megadungeon that will at least feature gnolls at the same time? But that is a minor concern since the megadungeon will not join the M+ rotation before S3 the earliest.
