Midnight 12.X Patches & World Soul Saga Speculation Thread

[JMitchy96]

The daggers look straight out of ulduar with an azerite twist, seems more likely to be Titan based not first ones.

Other than the fact they’re very clearly designed to match the Eternal Traveler’s set, which itself is First Ones themed?

They didn't even bring back Arthas for Shadowlands, which is the greatest crime of that expansion; reconnecting us to lots of familiar faces and lore heavy characters from previous expansions - but all we got was pretty much only Aggra, Vashj and Kael'thas. So...

You mean Drakka (Thralls mother), not Aggra (Thralls wife). Also there was Uther and Ysera.

But thinking about it, not having Arthas in the one place where he could be is strange. Also, Arthas was part of a BFA cinematic with Jaina, and the Uther Short for Shadowlands. It was clearly that he was build up again for something big, not just ending as a whimper.

Don't think the vid looks like WoW at a glance, but they could introduce a new Old God in this expansion.

Nice find. That was fast.

But their physical bodies have been destroyed, if anything their "souls" are in some.void realm possibly, which would fall into cosmic territory.

Exploring Azeroth: Northrend (post-Sl timeline) tells us that Yogg-Saron's body remains physically imprisoned in Ulduar:

References: Page 85 and 153 of the book

After the war against the Jailer, Muradin Bronzebeard reported that although Yogg-Saron had long been defeated, its influence still lingers in places where it once held power, such as Whisper Gulch.[18] Its whispers are still heard around Northrend and throughout Ulduar, though it remains physically imprisoned in Ulduar and its influence seems to be contained.[19][10]

C'Thun and Yogg-Saron are continental-sized behemoths, we only fought the core of their beings.

How could C'Thun and Yogg-Saron's bodies be destroyed? They span entire continents.

N'Zoth's entire body was supposedly incinerated by the Forge of Origination (which is capable of nuking entire planet's surface, all of its power was focused into N'Zoth), but the leading theory is that N'Zoth foresaw the players would try this (as he peered into their future as shown in DF) and transferred part of his essence into the emptied Blade of Black Empire.

Only the Forge of Origination holds enough power to destroy an Old God's body in its entirety. C'Thun and Yogg-Saron's bodies are left mostly intact.

Sargeras likely wanted to destroy C'Thun's body, his attack on Silithus wasn't an accident but intentional. But he obviously failed to destroy C'Thun's body as he was pulled back by the Pantheon before he could fully impale Azeroth.

Because it isn't from WoW. It's actually the reveal trailer for C'thulu from Smite, but with purple hues and lighting.

[Draedarr]

You got me.

, had to try this at least once lol

[ercarp]

Found it.

-snip-

Excellent detective work!

[micwini]

So if Void‘s back on the menu, so is the convention leak with the void pillars, right?

It is AI mate.

[Nyel]

Found it.

Thank you, still looks cool af imho

There is also Chromie fucking up the timeline by saving Nozdormu instead of letting him become Murozond + N'zoth seeing us when we went back in time.. i think we are in for a time travel/warp surprise

[Wangming]

Lol, what are you eating?

A new burrito place opened up not far from the office I work at. Absolutely delicious.


Back on topic, it is pretty brutal that we have fake video leaks. Shame that one was not real. Still hoping for void stuff. Void themed revamps expansion and nazjatar 2.0 sound a lot more interesting than Dragonflight 2: Electric Bogaloo on Avon cosmetics island.

[Harbour]

SoA cinematic well, the last 4 seconds got leaked as i was catching up on the pages. the one with the void lord having her hands around the planet

Eh, source?

[Nyel]

It is AI mate.

As much as the Avaloren leak.

[Makorus]

So what are the odds of them adding an additional monthly reward after Blizzcon.

Because the weapons are kinda shit.

Yeah, whether it is 11, 12, 13, or some far off seed for WoW2 or whatever - timeway nonsense is gonna happen eventually. I don't know what shape exactly but I think if we don't get an elemental/world soul physical restructuring of the planet for a world revamp, we'll eventually see it in the form of a timeline shenanigan to clear the slate magically.

[kavikor]

As much as the Avaloren leak.

I really don't think the screenshots are AI in any way, but we've discussed that a couple times so I'll leave it be here on

[micwini]

Found it.

Lol insane that you found that so quikcly

[TheramoreIsTheBomb]

Eh, source?

It wasn't from the actual trailer but a diagram of it. It perfectly lines up with another leak posted here and it was posted -before- the Shadows over Azeroth leak by two different people.

[Donzyo]

Found it.

Damn i was so hyped for like 2 whole minutes. I'm praying for a void/old god expansion
