Midnight 12.X Patches & World Soul Saga Speculation Thread

[Teriz]

I would never stop calling them Tinkers though. As a tribute to you ofcourse.

We'll always have Tinkertown....

[Keyalios]

I really REALLY want Artificer. And I really want Mechs. On the one hand, I know it's very possible we wouldn't get unique models for every race.

On the other I not only want models but to customize them.

One of my hobbies is building Gundam models (GunPla). Let me build them ingame damnit!

currently working backstage at blizzcon, i'm seeing shirts saying '' shadowlands classic ''

ah, hell is real.

no expansion subtitle, it's really going back to just WoW this time around. they want to really emphasize the "World" part.
lvl cap raised to 75, will take as much time as 60-70. again, if dragonflight was about promoting exploration from the skies, blizz really wants us to "dig" deep this time around and take our time.
purely cosmetic timeskip-style revamp to a lot of the vanilla/cata redone zones (remember that random westfall texture that was found a few years back?)
dynamic weather that was toyed with during island expeditions in BFA is now active across the entirety of EK and kalimdor. weather forecast-style widget will be next to the calendar so you can see what's coming up. no effect on gameplay other than immersion. that's key here.
dark nights are back, but there's a graphic toggle for folks who don't like them. no shortened day/night cycle unfortunately but whatever.

these are more minor things because i really dont want to spoil the bigger reveals. the smaller stuff is already like a dream come true for me honestly.

[Cheezits]

Somehow, Zovaal returned.

[Fahrad Wagner]

What's that "of" doing there between Warcraft and World?

Edit:
Don't you edit you posts on me, boy!

I'm sowwy

I have been thinking they may just do a subtitle-less expansion.

IF Tinkers are introduced in 4 hours. This place will explode.

I can see it now.

The lights dim.
Gallywix says something about finally getting his revenge against the cheapskates who threw him outa the horde. The screen cuts to a handful of goblins in an underground facility toiling over something with torches, wrenches, and screwdrivers.

The wall behind them blows up and sends them all scurrying as a small army of blingtrons come in, chased by several shredders. "I gotta get outa here!" As Gallywix jumps into his mech and rockets back toward the surface, the screen rolls upward past him to Gnomeregan. Mechatorq is there looking over schematics of a portable mech device that can fit inside a backpack (schematic is also a nod to the rumble gnome *wink*. Suddenly the alarms go off all around, and the high tinker just furrows his brow and nods as he jumps into his mech along with several other gnomish pilots. As a group, they run off toward a sink hole that opened up in the hangar and blingtrons flood out to fight them. Fade.

World of Warcraft: Gnome Way Home

We just need Vol de Tort now

I have it on my bingo grid

Is that why we haven't been able to pin down an expac name this time around? Because there just isn't one?

Blue Nile - Tinkertown in the rain...

[Lorca]

A question for the experts: at what time should we expect to get the reveal? Is it worth starting to watch from the opening ceremony? Thanks!

[Keyalios]

entire concept of the xpac leaked weeks ago wym

I'm sorry but Void of Azeroth is a very uninspired name for your leak. I do like the idea of twin Expacs... but the name was just not there.

To be fair I could have egg on my face in the matter of hours though.

See, someone with great taste! Gunpla ingame would be absolutely amazing.

@Teriz, I will start calling them tinker if you can finally accept that other races than goblins/gnomes/Vulpera can be that class

They've repeatedly said 5-level xpacs were a mistake, I would be shocked to see them reverse course on that.

I want all the rest of this though.

[Aucald]

Be prepared my dear Aucald, in a few hours I will ping you to ask this thread be renamed with the expansion's name! OCHO Alpha General Thread hehehe

The whole "Ocho" thing is giving me flashbacks to the old Dodgeball movie.

Maybe it's because they want the classic level feel? Or to preserve the talent trees better.

Probably the first "leak" i could get behind !
