Midnight 12.X Patches & World Soul Saga Speculation Thread

[Myrrh]

I could not be any fucking happier.

You'll still see shit spammed like "Allied Race: High Elves" or something for Midnight, among other crap, but thank goodness.

Midnight leak: New allied race - Voidier elves. You heard it here first folks.

It will be the reunification of all 3 sub elves I think.

sub elves huh *eyebrows*

Do 3 sub elves unite into a dom elf?

Classic is the best thing that could happen to retail and vice-versa.

It's the same revenue source, minus expansion box prices and mtx. Enough people will dabble in one or the other while the concept is fresh and shiny while the remaining holdouts do their hardcore thing. Both will be worth investing resources into.

Yeah. I can do 10.2 and then Season of Discovery and then Cata Classic and then The War Within and it keeps me engaged because it isn't just one game it's different cycling games. It's pretty ingenious the constant cycle they've been working to get to and now apparently achieved.

[Syegfryed]

To be fair we also have four humans (regular, fat, werewolf, dead)

All of then are very different from one and another

And four elves (night, nightborne, blood, void)

all of then also, different

Would I have been happier with Naga? Or the Tiger people? Or Jinyu?
Most likely, yes. But I might still get some nice stuff with hero talents. I mean Dark Ranger is right there.

Ogres, vrykul, saberon, botani, arakokra, actual drakonid, Venthyr, kyrian, the blue angel fuckers, sethrak, mogul, Jinyu, Hozen, Naga, an insect race and others

There is so many option that is bogus that their idea was "dwarf, but big! removing what makes the dwarf unique!

[ZyntosAran]

season of discovery is the best thing that can happen to wow classic. It looks so fun.

[Nymrohd]

Yeah I will be playing Season of Discovery, this looks crazy.

[Stonecloak]

I think I'm a fan, tbh. Enough with the lore blue balls over the long, long years. It's about time we get a definitive end point for the various lore threads that have been cooking without resolution.

At the rate they're moving through things, we might even get an answer to the Gundrak tail. (I kid.. unless??)

I'm glad you're a fan. Blue balls suck, especially narratively. Just stuck in time.

[Wangming]

Rudimentary form of Classic+ just confirmed, nice.

With new locations. Fuck me, this is great.

[Cheezits]

I love these Scrunkly guys.

[ZyntosAran]

I mean. i love what i have seen for war within. I am a retail player mostly.
But the more i see of season of discovery, the more i need it.
NEED IT.
I am so happy it launches very soon.

[Reive]

Is retail honestly dead with Classic+?

yes. classic+ even got a tank shaman spec before retail

[Paula Deen]

Ok, if this screenshot had leaked before Blizzcon, how many people would have called it AI ?

I would not have because of the chest plate and the sword. its obviously Anduin.

[Nymrohd]

Seriously, Season of Discovery seems crazy, I hope the Hero Talents are nearly as ambitious as the Season of Discovery Rune Engraves.

[ercarp]

So now that we know what the next two expansions are going to be about, does this mean future BlizzCon seasons won't actually have any leaks?

RIP my spreadsheets 2019-2023. Gone too soon.

[ZyntosAran]

I just hope there is a TD Rune.

[blaatschaap]

Then what's Gorschlach? It's not confirmed or anything, it's not 100% or absolute canon, but it's stated by name in the trinket the same guy drops as the other sword in question.

Gorschalach is simply the result of the guy in charge of thinking up names for Agrammars loot table not having read Chronicle. Their blades in canon always had a separate origin. Also both the blades shattered when they dueled. That's why Agrammars weapon Taeschalach is half fire. Only one half of the original weapon of Aggramar, Taeschalach was still intact, the rest is made of fire magic. It doesn't seem like the Sword in Silithus has been similarly repaired from severe arcane and fel damage, so it might not even been the weapon originally wielded by Sargeras (so even they wanted to call that original one Gorribal, it might not be that sword in Silithus). Perhaps he crafted it much later when his burning crusade was already long underway

The best part is that it can cycle with the expansions if they expand on this.

[Nightshade711]

People would put it next to the Arthas/LK in the same pose as proof this is what the AI based this on. They would claim that the artstyle isn't right. The sword is also rife for "obvious AI glitches" especially with the blurriness, the beard or hair as well maybe. Also the background is too plain, blurry, boring, whatever.

“That looks nothing like Anduin, Anduin has long hair!”

[ZyntosAran]

open world alterac. lets go.

I think speculation will endure, of course, but leak season is indeed going to be dead until 14.0 (if that even happens, might be WoW 2 by then).

Wonder if the sword is...literally just Gorschlach. The fusion thing being of lore past. Or, yeah, it doesn't ultimately matter.

Either way, it's such a minor element to the point of the post which was "Guys, it's obviously Azeroth, c'mon. Get a white board. Even if you don't know for sure, she's gotta be in the top 3."
