Midnight 12.X Patches & World Soul Saga Speculation Thread

He's no longer chained though. Rumor has it he's currently inside the blade and traveling with Xal.



Uh, how did the events of 9.2 influence 10.0? Howabout 8.3 and 9.0?



I expect her to do nothing, because she's a goddess. The last thing this game needs is us interacting with personified gods. It's rather silly.

That's not the point. You're saying all the og were underground when that's not the case with nzoth.

They didn't. But mop into wod did, wod into legion did, legion into bfa did, arent you all about precedence?

I expect her to do nothing as well. But clearly she's gonna do something for the world soul of azeroth when she's heavily involved with other cosmic beings and the shit is about to hit the fan with the world soul emerging and whatever zovaal warned us about.

Member she pretty much has connections to all cosmic forces minus disorder, so if 11.0 is the climax of all this shit then I fully expect her to make an appearance along with Eonar. And Ysera had some kind of grand purpose to if her help requires benching malfurion and the blizzcon pet is modeled after her. Cuz she ain't do nothing yet.

I'm low-key starting to lean toward Khaz Algar not being on Avaloren. Seeing how many people feel like Avaloren doesn't have enough of a buildup, and them running out of new locations on Azeroth, AND there being no clear link between Khaz Algar and Avaloren, it would be a waste to introduce two new locations and capitalize on both of them right away. So, with datamined Algarian Storm rider I think we may not get Avaloren this expac after all. Maybe Khaz is on the other side of the planet, but it's still not the same place as Avaloren.

2 days until Blizzcon and we don't have a good leak. Has this happened before? It's crazy.

Of course Avaloren and Khaz Algar are different locations.

The Avaloren book tells us how Odyn can't reach Avaloren, and Khaz Algar book is a report on the Dwarves there, implying they have people on location.

Pretty good yes but it feels like Kul Tiras bis to me (well, Kul Tiras was amazing so...)

[Eupitor]

I just hope it won't be too elemental themed. It's my least favorite part of the game's aesthetic

yeah i just meant in terms of how "good" a leak is, like how compelling it is/how real it looks

We basically have as much buildup for Avaloren as for Khaz Algar. Both have been name-dropped once I think?

What we actually have more buildup of is "beyond the storms/west of Kalimdor". And we're pretty certain Khaz Algar is involved because of the Heroic Edition reward.

And considering the one time Avaloren is mentioned the text makes a comparative reference of "our shores" which with unknown dating could refer to pre-sundering Kalimdor meaning there was another shore there. (although tbf the other side of the same landmass could also be refered to as "the other shore")

I really think the only other option is the (partial) old world revamp with Khaz Algar being somewhere in/under the old world.

I have a feeling its buried in here somewhere just like other years. AI has probably made it easier to overwhelm us with fake leaks. ercap has got a good spreadsheet on most if not all of them.

[GhostFish]

Maybe you should take a gander at current events and then talk "reality."

I don't see any conflict between what I said and current events.

[Shadowferal]

I don't see any conflict between what I said and current events.

I'm not surprised.
If you wish to continue this line of thought, the "off-topic politics" section is where I'm usually at.

[Wangming]

Is there a blizzcon bingo already up ?

I know Taliesin made a pretty good one.

[Chickat]

Well im back and awake. I was sleeping so well. Didn't want to wake up. Anything in last 45 mins

Plot Twist: There is no expansion.

You must have hated cata.

[infinitemeridian]

Real talk, are we going to get the survival game announced?

[FlemmMinis]

Plot Twist: There is no expansion.

Could you imagine?

[Raetary]

Real talk, are we going to get the survival game announced?

Maybe?

It would certainly elevate the con.
And i believe the last time we had rumors about it, it was supposedly pretty far in development.

[Cheezits]

Faction war, pronouns... what's next, Sylvanas and Garrosh?
