Midnight 12.X Patches & World Soul Saga Speculation Thread

we rly not gonna have any good leaks this week, thats CRAZY

I just realized. Having Taunka and Vrykul and would make Avaloren even more of a Dragon Isles 2.0. It would literally have the other two friendly NPC races from Northrend.
DF had Tuskarr and Furbolg. 11.0 with Vrykul and Taunka. The only one that would be missing overall would be the friendly Nerubians.

You mean they magically combined creatures together to create a mythical lizard creature that flies around and breathes fire and has the power of WoW's dragon characters? Again, how is that not a dragon?

As of the war of the scaleborn novel which is the most current and thus canon lore, they are not dragons.

Deathwing says word for word “they are not dragons”.

What's everyone's opinion of another small time skip with 10.2.7 (or 10.3.7 if we get another season)

Give them a way to get the new tree/NE home up and at least partially running without having us to go back to the Dragon Isles after the new expansion launches.

Edit: Also a way to give Gilneas back to the Alliance, ad I doubt a full dedicated patch will happen over the Desolate Council just leaving it.

They don’t have the power of a dragon and to reference your earlier post Blizz could absolutely have done a full dragon multiple ways, including make it a race with a draconian whelp form a la Emmy.

Is a Mok’thal an ogre or an orc? No they are a mix, a different species.

[Akatsui]

Guys please do not the Teriz, you should know better by now

Fucking lmao

[Nyel]

I hope Avaloren is beautiful. Really interested to see what the heretics did with the place.

We‘ll never know. At least not in 11.x.

It would make me wonder what the point of the first time skip was, because virtually nothing happened in it. Actually, it'll be even more hilarious if we get up to like 4-5 years in-game where the entire world feels like it's frozen in time.

Hi friends

just saw the 10.2 raid finale previewed on the main stage. fyrakk has a 'if i'm going down you are going down with me' moment, he uses his axe (i forget its name, flamemourne, you know the one, but it has that shadowflame look to it here) to open all sorts of rifts to various wacky looking places, then he seems to charge up before imploding in a big explosion, but vyranoth casts a frost nova of sorts to save the tree, and saves the heroes aswell, all that remains after is the axe laying on the ground and portals close around the 'boss room'. alexstrazsa embraces vyranoth and they turn their back to the axe,and everyone begins to walk away, and we see one portal flicker in the background, as if it wasn't fully closed and right before the cinematic ends abruptly you see a pair of yellow eyes in the portal. that is it.

I'm really optimistic I will go the entire announcement/teaser trailer without an "oh well there it is" recognition (just Khaz Algar/Avaloren/World Revamp name drop doesn't count)

What powers of the dragons are they missing? They have all 5.

And no, Blizzard said plainly that due to technical reasons they went with the Dracthyr.

It's only 1PM in California, I'd expect the real leaks to happen mid-afternoon to early evening given they're probably setting the merch up around that time, so still a few hours to go.
Above that, I don't know... I'd be surprised and impressed if Blizzard really manages a no-leak expac announcement this year.

[FlemmMinis]

Reading the forums makes me chuckle as a Augvoker main

It feels like we have yet to see the effects of the first time skip they did. I still don't understand why they did that when it barely made any difference.

If they do another time skip, that's fine by me. Just a bit confused by the point of the first one.

[Puupi]

I'm confused by the comparison as they aren't nightelves?

Both are elves and used the night elf skeleton, yet the animations aren't identical.

[Teriz]

Blizzard says word for word that they are dragons.

[Calfredd]

Blizzard says word for word that they are dragons.

And then canon lore came out that said otherwise.

This is what happens when there's virtually no conflict or faction tension going on... Time just progresses, nothing major happens, the only major thing that happened was a wedding... and even then Kurog Grimtotem actually crashed the wedding in order to set up DF.

Blizz can say it all they want. They’ve said many things in the past. Doesn’t make it the truth.

Having powers of dragons doesn’t make them dragons. Someone having the ability to be a mage doesn’t make them a mage. Dracthyr were a stupid idea. Fun to play but nothing like what I wanted.

Again, Mok’thal or however you spell it. Rexxar. Is he an orc? An ogre? Of course not.

[Luck4]

If none of the supposed leaks turn out to be true tomorrow, this will be the best Blizzcon.

The very first leakproof Blizzcon.
