Midnight 12.X Patches & World Soul Saga Speculation Thread

[flan1337]

Dont think anyone posted this today but blizzcon got an updated final updated map!

[Palapop]

nothing about gnolls
I'm pretty sure we will see a continuation of the Gnolls and their decay storyline
nothing about that tower in eastern Azure Span (forgot its name)
Vakthros. While there was some speculation about it, there was no indication there was more to it.
nothing about bronze dragonflight
If you think this was the last we see of the bronze and the infinites, lmao
nothing about tuskars
Just about the same we learn of them in Northrend
nothing about djaradin
Could easily be expanded in the future
what was the point of entering Deathwings laboratory again? we just chased 1 dracthyr there and thats it?
Lead in to a raid
who woke up Raszageth? How? where was she held?
Play the Dracthyr starting zone.

so basically youre saying they gave us unfinished expansion with superb amount of potential tossed down the drain.
Same as with SL lol

SL could literally live of glory of 20+ years of warcraft characters. Instead they decided to give us gender confused palegos and pixar fairies.

Honestly recommend abandoning any serious consideration of that image and letting it rot. Based on their post history, they are disturbed.

yeah im not even considering it tbh

Just notice some weird object overlapping on the wow side which is odd. The rumble and wow demo area has so many boxes overlapping.

This looks rather good if real. Reminds me of Grizzly Hills but on Crack/steroids with modern tech.

That looks exactly like Boralus. That's either just concept art of Boralus or an extremely uncreative AI prompt.

Are those weird blobs...trees? Arbordwarf gang rise up!

Good to see what your final point was. It's quite telling.
Dude come on, we concluded every lose end from Warcraft 3. Without new lore, there is no reason for new expansions. We've had lose ends since Vanilla. If you conclude everything in the same expansion something is introduced you're narratively committing suicide.

Are all the panels going to be streamed on the same channel?

Oof. Yeah, just read his last point too

It looks like someone tried to describe the first image in the 4 zones leak to an AI, and then slapped a copycat dark banner that looks like the "Mobile Ready!" one from the other leak.

No, we're saying you don't pay attention to the story. You're claiming a bunch of C lister characters getting the attention of C lister characters is tossing away potential? This ain't Warlords where potential was tossed away. SL had no hope as it was trying to be Planescape the setting which is a notoriously philosophical, 90s setting that is far better to read than play in

If you don't like philosophy then, sorry, SL being based on Planescape was always going to be poor for you, because that's the philosophical D&D setting and Pelegos would fit in fine (better him being the new arbiter than sylvy though tbh). If you don't like fairies then uh, the fantasy genre ain't for you, mate.

[Ebonn]

like they are capable of answering to any of these stories.

instead, they decided to abandon the expansion and cut it short.

I feel like the whole point of the expansion was to deliver the tree and the Aspects their powers again. If that, then it’s not really cut short.

[KayRule]

We do have the name of the preorder mount, which points solidly to Khaz Algar. So, not totally nothing.

And we know Algar is related to the stars, thanks to Algalon and Rygelon showing the source of the Titan root words for their names.

[Dismayxz]

New zone leak.

The texture resolution and stone objects all look a lot higher definition than what I would expect, but who knows. The general vibe, tree canopy and all is similar to the first screenshot of the set of 4, but I'll not buy into this, just looking at the quality. It does look strikingly more drawn than anything at this resolution. Everything does. Almost like somebody uprezzed the League Artstyle and then mixed it with the WoW Artstyle.. which frankly, would probably be where we'd end up if they did another round of visual improvements to the WoW Art style.

[Bsirk]

This is straight up AI lol, zooming in shows it clear as day.

I agree. Once you zoom in the plants on the rock on the bottom right looks like it is just smeared on when you zoom in.

Honestly if that hadn't happened this expansion would've been a complete waste of time.

People keep saying this but Dragonflight has only been out for 11 months. It's only half over. If it really does end in August you have ever right to say this but that's highly unlikely, statistically speaking.

It's hilarious, according to him we should've concluded:

The faction war in Vanilla
The Legion in TBC
The Scourge in WotLK
Old gods in MoP
Etc.

And that's just the main storylines.

[JohnnyCasual]

Little more than 3 days to go. We have come a long way from arguing if a thing is or is not a drogbar.

[Bsirk]

While there's all the rest of it, that's just the one thing that immediately caught my eye as being totally out of the ordinary. It just looked so aberrant and immediately-obvious that it seemed more relevant than everything else.

After reading your reply I go back and read mine and I seem like a smartass. It wasn't intended I'm sorry about that. I agree with the boxes as well.

[Ferlion]

I always forget palegos was a character because by and large outside of Denathrius the shclands characters were just dull.

It really confuses me that people remember such a bland character. It's like Bluther. Or Baine.

You kind of just forget they exist
