Midnight 12.X Patches & World Soul Saga Speculation Thread

[Raetary]

Right, i'm working all day tomorrow.
So if shit hits the fan, the hype train image is available in my signature.

Just got my Blizzard Gear Store discount code for having purchased the Blizzcon in-game collectible pack, which means surely soon the Gear Store will leak Blizzcon stuff, right?

[Vakir]

It might be a controversial idea, but personally, I'd like to see them continue the Draenor story in an RTS. They could show us the truth of how things got to what we saw in BFA- and how it ends- with Lightbound, Mag'har, and Gorian factions.

Then afterwards whoever survives can cross back into WoW.

Honestly, alt universes are such a fucking mess in being accessible by the main one that making it a gaiden game might be the way to go.

Juicy stuff is supposed to unlock post-opening ceremony sharp going off past ones, but some poor web engineer will almost certainly fuck up.

The mag'har are gone. If anything it'd be like Lightbound, Ogres, Botani and maybe Arakkoa.

Someone said the new cinematic will be narrated by Xalatath. So… this could have been her voice.

They wouldn't actually play the pre-recorded segments during a rehearsal. There's no reason to.

[Northelim]

Looks like there is something called CallToArms.worldofwarcraft.com - obviously unaccessible but it has been found via website datamining/sniffing.

No clue if its vanilla or expansion related though.

I don't think all the AU mag'har crossed over.

This has been around for years.

They absolutely have before, source being people I know personally working at those venues that ended up having correct info. It's a technical rehearsal. They also need to time things.

If true, could just be a promotional campaign.

I mean... not for wow, but an image of the cinematic during rehearsal is exactly how Sombras appearance got leaked back in OW1 ARG times.

Which of the four zones do you think will likely be the best based on the current "leak?"

They should bring this back.

The dwarven peaks seem the least derivative, HD Aerie statue aside.

But least derivative is still..

Touchy subject, eh? I was obviously poking a bit of fun and exaggerating.

Just take the L and stick to manic fan-fiction, dude.

[Typelouder]

Just some quick thoughts

I think Decatriarch Wratheye TP'ing out at the end of Brackenhide is intentional to bring the character/decay thing back in the future.

I think one of the leaks talked about itemization changes (possibly stats) and the +Demonbane and +Scourge bonus on items from Dawn of the Infinite isn't random.

Blizzard has talked about choosing some returning M+ dungeons for a theme. Obviously we have the Emerald Dream ones, but I think Throne of Tides is intentional. Ozumat popped up in BFA and hasn't been killed. I think if they announce a Void or Water themed expansion, its extremely likely Ozumat plays a legit role.

Personally I really hope some of the leaks involving a reworked cosmetic glyph system come to fruition. Think thats a place for a lot of fun rewards that could be tied to some systems outside of M+ or Raid or PVP. Mage tower is a great example. I think reiterating on Torghast or Withered Training as a cosmetic/mount reward feature would be great.

From the screenshots? Probably the one with the dwarf statues and that weird drogbar looking dwarf thing.

The desert area looking place is very meh... and the Titan Jungle area is even more boring.

[Jodmos]

I don't follow lore as closely as a bunch here but Anduin has been away. Do we have any idea where? Could next expansion be him coming back from somewhere we've not been to and that instigates us heading there? Not that I think this is remotely possible, mind you.

The snowy area with the dwarf and thunder in the background does it for me.
