Midnight 12.X Patches & World Soul Saga Speculation Thread

[Val the Moofia Boss]

I'm excited for the return of Manduin. It's just a shame that they cast his voice actor for when he was a teenager and he still has the same voice now. Maybe they could use a computer to make it slightly deeper and it would be great.

He might get recast with an older voice actor by the time we see his older appearance, presumably by expansion 2 since that's then one about the final defeat of the Void and we know that Anduin is an old man when that happens.

Alleria x Xal'atath ship?

[Cheezits]

Alleria will 100% will become the new Harbinger at the end

[Houle]

They're not going to spoil their expansion's ending during the expansion reveal.

N'Zoth did not demand the empty Blade of the Black Empire for fun or because he likes blades.

It's because he knows it can hold powerful souls and he wanted a contingency since he knew the player would use the Forge of Origination nuke on him (DF confirms this).

I mean, maybe N'zoth is coming back yeah, but Metzen also literally said there will be major spoilers in this reveal. Its pretty much inevitable when you reveal 3 xpacs in a row.

[Keyalios]

Notice how he keeps saying the FIRST 20 years?

[Hitei]

Notice how he keeps saying the FIRST 20 years?

Metzen already said multiple times they were setting up future stuff.

[Jodmos]

Which is when Xal'atath resurrects them, right?

More like they can't be trusted when they say anything regarding the game. If something cool comes up they'll retcon

So...where's Ion?

[ercarp]

I just wanna say that this was probably the most insane presentation for WoW ever. I can see why they said Warcraft was the biggest this year.

I'm also really happy with everything I heard, especially in terms of story. That cinematic with Anduin and Thrall felt more mature in a way that I really liked. Somehow I feel like maybe the story of WoW might be in good hands again...? Fingers crossed.

Bringing Metzen back on stage was a gigabrain move as well. This was the most attention I've ever paid in any BlizzCon ever. He has a way of making people listen.

10/10!

[Keyalios]

So...where's Ion?

In the basement.

[Swnem]

NO world Revamp ??

World revamp fans are in shambles. There are some revamps coming on the following two expansions, but not the full thing. Which is awesome news to me.

[Sentynel]

Alleria rivaling with Xal that will develop into some naughty scissoring

[meroes]

Alleria will 100% will become the new Harbinger at the end

She always was the best of the 3

[matijwow]

What was that booing about?

[Keyalios]

Lol there's the Khaz Algar

[Wangming]

So...where's Ion?

Designing raids like he is supposed to be.

[Hitei]

What was that booing about?

It wasn't. It was "ooooh" because she told them she expects "ooooh"ing and "ahhh"ing.

I am beyond hyped for the story to come!

[Varodoc]

Alleria x Xal'atath rivalry will be the central storyline of the expansion.

Blizzard knows what their fans want.

So...where's Ion?

He'll probably be in the Deep Dive tomorrow.
