Midnight 12.X Patches & World Soul Saga Speculation Thread

[Myrrh]

You see, if he is a true worker, doing that could involve taking a high risk since there are probably many cameras around the event. Blizzard could easily use them to try to identify him, and he would have the worst nightmare of his life. So, I'm not sure if he or any of us want that to happen just to prove a point on a 'random' internet forum.

In addition to the above, I also feel like 'certifying' things like this kinda saps the fun out of it all. The Bolvar and Drakthyr fiascos were such glorious, memorable clusterfucks because we didn't have that absolute confirmation to them, so there was plenty of room to argue and call each other fucking morons for thinking that they were <insert true/fake position here>.

'Leaks' are healthy and fun, but spoiling the game entirely with quite a few days to go would not be, imho. If it turns out that they're a numpty LARPing as a Blizzcon construction worker then... well, that's pretty sad reflection on them really.

The reason nothing is certain and there's barely any leak is because Blizzard really tightened up the screw this year. Security barriers already outside, non-workers can't really approach the building, all boxes and pallets are sealed until the very last moment, and they're checking for sneaky eyes glancing at the inventory or upcoming deliveries.

I don't know whether zugzug actually works at the Center or not, but so far what he says corresponds to stuff I've seen on my side of the work.

again, i have no clue who this is. security is not any tighter than before, the only difference is the layout that makes moving around harder for us constructing it.

i have replied to them. when 4 people ask the same thing and i answer 1, haven't i technically answered them too?

Was this a private message to someone? I didn't see a picture of your thumb outside of the convention center. lol

I did notice uxyra went offline between posting in support of workwork and workwork posting again.

[Ferlion]

It doesn't really matter if he's real or not. It's entertaining, and if it's real much appreciated, and if it's fake, still much appreciated because it's entertaining

[Izalla]

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

Yes please!!

uxyra was on the right of the picture I posted.

[workworkzugzug]

i'll return tomorrow with more info if i have it. don't wanna out which shift i'm on.

i'd like to say once again, i have no clue who that other guy is. he isn't constructing the set at blizzcon, i can tell you that much.

[Northelim]

i have no reason to make you all believe me. i came in here, said i am working on the set, saw a banner i didn't recognize as a player of the game, asked if it rang a bell to anyone and have been trying to make sense of it since. and have since been discussing working on these events. that is all. i know fuck all about 11.0. all i know is this banner i thought looked very unique.

i don't wanna risk my job for something you'll see like 4 days from now.

If you do not want to risk your job, then why are you here in the first place already talking about what you saw? That doesn't make sense, you've already put yourself at some sort of risk.

oh god theyre competing!

What banner?

[Ferlion]

What banner?

It's just a description. Knaifu looking smug and evil holding something that is circular like a planet in her hands

[Leowyld]

What banner?

Ask uxyra, who is back online. They seemed to know about it, too.

Or maybe the Iridikron disc?

I’m not buying the notion of a new neutral race right after Dracthyr. In fact I completely buy the notion of no new race at all.

A new class or set of specs is VERY possible though if Blizzard wants to buoy Augvoker. I don’t believe they’re going to make Augvoker pure DPS, and I don’t see them allowing the spec to be the only support option. I see Blizzard doubling down on the support concept, even to the point of creating a new 4th support role.

There's a measure of difference between talking unverified shit on a backwater forum and taking photographic evidence to back that up which, even without displaying the claims themselves, would still provide metadata with which to assist in identifying OP should the right people wish to. I'm not saying they're defs legit, but their actions and explanations are not incompatible.

What banner?

Check their post history. tl;dr sounds like Xal.

This tracks, definitely expecting to hear at least 1-2 new support specs pop up. Possibly some more non-support 4th specs as well to keep things fresh.

Just as zugzug went offline, what a weird coincidence

[Leowyld]

I know, right?

[Pinksocking]

Im waiting for the "groundbreaking" evidence thats supposed to prove the images wrong

Those images are so fake plz we don't discuss them anymore

[uxyra]

The security IS tighter, and there's more people handling WoW inventory than the set workers. The banner has been around a bit and apparently for test fitting purposes.
But I am not gonna work myself up for the right to have the Truth on the Internet. Just know that we all are doing our best to give you all a wonderful experience at BlizzCon this year!
