Midnight 12.X Patches & World Soul Saga Speculation Thread

If SoA is actually real (doubt) my money is on Shaping of Azeroth (fanbait and classic) or Song of Azeroth (fits a lot of stuff plus bard)

Ma! We made the "news!" https://www.dexerto.com/world-of-war...zzcon-2358928/

Aside from the misuse of the word "biome", it's really telling that they didn't even include the most rudimentary analysis as to why the alleged leaked screenshots may be products of a mapmaking private server.

Some good names ChatGPT came up with:
- Shadows of Azeroth
- Siege of Azshara
- Sands of Ahn'Qiraj
- Sorrow of Azshara

But they wouldn't do that; there's being realistically cautious then there is just seeing ghosts

of course, its just a joke i doubt they'd ever do that lol

Went and found it.

This could also make sense because music is the language of the First Ones and of creation broadly.

Who should be the "main focus" of the 11.0 cinematic (in your opinion)?

Illidan and Sargeras
or
Thrall and Wrathion

Does any of you have rl plans for blizzcon? I have reserved the day off like 2 months ago and am planning to arm myself with some powerful snacks before the even, maybe get some subway for the lunch preceding it.

I will be attending Blizzcon w/ my wife, we are dressing up as demon worshipers.

Technomancer is way cooler sounding than tinker

Also on the subject, why do we call it tinker, wouldn't it be "tinkerer?"

Indeed, bring on the rise of the technomancers!

And yea, it would definitely be tinkerer and not tinker if the whole tink- thing became a reality. But technomancer is better.

We call it that simply because that's always been the name used in the lore for that class.

I think that a "good natured" Void entity (perhaps Xal'atath) would be more about Free Will and possibilities, let sentients do what they want instead of setting a path for them. We've seen Order and Light's very positive sides, but we've also had hints of how their extremes are very self righteous, believing they have the right to decide how other sentients should live.

A "positive" Fel, or Disorder, sphere, could also focus on this idea of entropy and free will, almost hedonistic.

I think if they decided to move in such a direction, I would be on the side of the good-natured void entity lol. Free will and possibilities are way better than "do what I say, I am your god-king."

Also, interesting take on positive fel and hedonism, I dig it!

Gonna drink a bit and have some snacks, then use the bookmarked "delete your bnet account" that I saved for the occasion SoA is DF 2.0

So what was the bombshell??

50-50: Either the 4 image "leak" is real or we're all about to be mind blown. Unfortunately, leaning toward the former unless/until new evidence presents itself. Honestly, I'm not that angry about it (I'm optimistic that more will be shown to justify those images being just "low quality" and "bare areas of the zones"). Additionally, if real, the features and other content will make up for it. I just can't for the life of me believe (now, or in general) that Blizzard would release a "barebones" looking continent (area) for 11.0 after the strides they made with DF (attempting to fix the wrongs of SL).

I still can't possibly see it being real just because of the concentration of reused assets (including what I think are some reused textures) and the way some images look superimposed.

I have a feeling the leak is real, the zones are lazy shit, but there is a REASON why that explains where the attention went.

If not? Abandon ship, at least until next round.

I'm still holding off that the leak is a surprise 10.3 patch being announced, hence reused assets, combined with world revamp making everywhere viable for ongoing story purposes (so story can continue in Avaloren as needed)

That's a lot of hopium/copium; however, I would probably lose my mind if true. Don't stop believing!
