Midnight 12.X Patches & World Soul Saga Speculation Thread

[Lahis]

Dayum what a presentation from Metzen , love Holly too!

The earthen don't interest me but 3 expac reveals! Plus Xal looks amazing

Holly's suit was pretty damn great. I was looking for expansion hints in it, but nah, it was just good elvish nerd drip.

If I don't care about classic now, pitch me why I should care about the new discovery thing. Does it fundamentally change the game?

Have you just not been paying attention? Completely serious..

[Jodmos]

this is the start of the end. classic is slowly becoming the new main version of the game

That would be why there were over 130k viewing the Retail panel and about 43k viewing the Classic panel on youtube.

[Minish]

Obviously intended as a teaser for further content.

Yea that's what I figured, just surprised they'd do that

[Wangming]

Are the Hero Talents previews available for all classes?

Cause if Retail shamans don't get a tank spec, then what a miss...

No, we only know of very few. Also retail shamans might not get it now, but if it gets popular in SoD it can still happen.

[Sondrelk]

This is just going to make it harder to discern the fake leaks from the real ones. We know it's called Midnight, but nothing about the features and very little about the story. There's going to be a million Midnight fake leaks all describing different features and different stories next cycle.

Is Silvermoon a new neutral hub? Is it a new Suramar questing area? Is the rest of EK updated? Is the first raid there? Or will that come later?

All we know is that the Sunwell is important, and the Elves are important.

It will just revitalize Classic, I won't be swapping to it because I don't like the gameplay.

Yeah, Ion needs to show us Hero Talents that match the ambition in the Classic+ Runes.

Most of the Classic+ runes are just retail talents.

I'm excited, but Cata Classic is clearly the last-place hog in this pageant. It also lets you comfortably play Retail & SoD because it can take less than a day to hit the level 25 level cap.

[Lahis]

Can we talk about the cinematic? Azeroth specifically calling out to anduin seems significant. When he said he had no more light, I felt that. Hope he finds it again

Wielding the Light is a matter of faith. You can do horrendous amoral acts, but if you have strong belief in the righteniousness of your actions, the Light will answer.

After Shadowlands, Anduin has lost hist faith. And the Light has been so strong cornerstone of his character that this will be an arduous character arc for him.

I haven't tuned into the stream since the wow retail thing ended, no. Based on the mixed reactions guess I'll just watch the segment tomorrow to judge for myself. What piqued my interest is that it's coming out in less than a month, which seems crazy

[Chickat]

No, it says the "old world", referring to old zones that we've been to before. It's not time travel, it's a revamp.

But it says unite the scattered elf tribes. Calling them tribes makes me thing that they are ancient.

[Nymrohd]

Most of the Classic+ runes are just retail talents.

Shaman, rogue and warlock tanks and that is just some of them.

[Thomir]

Elune has to feature in the expansion called Midnight.

[Reive]

Yeah, Ion needs to show us Hero Talents that match the ambition in the Classic+ Runes.

Might be me, but classic+ sounds way more fun than the war within.

It will just revitalize Classic, I won't be swapping to it because I don't like the gameplay.

at the start. this will 100% end like it did with runescape where osrs "killed" rs3 and now holds most of the playerbase

I'm excited, but Cata Classic is clearly the last-place hog in this pageant.

eh who cares about classic cata. classic+ is what matters

[Fahrad Wagner]

But it says unite the scattered elf tribes. Calling them tribes makes me thing that they are ancient.

I genuinely thought they'd said "past" Quel'Thalas, but I might have misunderstood that, I'm not a native speaker.
Trying to replay it as we speak!

[Golden Yak]

This must be like Christmas to you huh. I hope they deliver on even a fraction of your vision.

We got underground stuff, we got nerubians, we got Old God rumblings... christmas came early indeed.

They're silly enough, but I despise the humanoid nerubians. It's a finger curling on the monkey's paw for me.

They look rad, but I hate that they're 'evolved' nerubians. Like the humanoid form is so special and advanced. Bleh! Ptui! The best nerubians stay spidery.

[Jaggler]

Might be me, but classic+ sounds way more fun than the war within.

Bolded the important bit.

[Chickat]

Season of Discovery really will be a new game. Wish it had proper graphics.

These seasons feel like idea feedback.

I can imagine in 5 or so years them releasing HD classic + 1-60 with all the seasons lessons learned.
