Midnight 12.X Patches & World Soul Saga Speculation Thread

I think that row is specifically for Delves, no? Delves are found within the zones in outside content as far as I'm aware.

iirc in a post-con interview they mentioned world bosses and public events counting toward the row as well, i could be misremembering though

A little conspiracy theory - the Algarian Stormrider was named that, and added early to the files, in order to make us believe that the next expac is Avaloren. "Storm" in Stormrider, especially in the context of Avaloren, made us all think only of the other side of Azeroth. And so far, there doesn't seem to be a really good reason why the Stormrider is storm related. If anything, it seems to be more generally Elements related, with other cutomizations (like fire) too.

Anyone who paid attention to the books knew that there was nothing tying Avaloren and Khaz Algar together and it even would make little sense for them to be in the same place.

Definitely remember them mentioning World Bosses for it.

What things do you guys think they will add to Dragonflight to stretch it out? Here's what's currently in the game that they could use:
-Bakar (Centaur Dog) Mounts (encrypted but included within 10.2)
-Season 4 recolor for glad mount
-Blue tint for Nelf Heritage

Here's some stuff that I think is likely:
-Reclamation of Gilneas scenario
-Amirdrassil world quests or some kind of storyline in the final tree
-Vakthros used for something
-heritage quests for other races
-additional Dracthyr classes
-Shamans for all through the Redeemed Primalists/Vyranoth
-Tuskarr AR??
-Broken AR/barber shop??
-Nelf Druid of the Flame barbershop option??

Fated raids are obvious so not including that.

Classes for Dracthyr
Paladins and Shamans for all (only class Earthen doesn't have is druid)
Maybe some little something in Tirisfal with Tyr?

Exile's Reach canonically takes place six-seven years before DF and moments before BFA, it currently drops you off in the capital cities with a BFA themed cutscene. The only connection between ER and DF is the couple of characters that appear in the first camp.

They may be keeping new players outside of Stormwind/Orgrimmar because they look like shit, honestly.

I think it has less to do with the area looking old, and more so that it's probably confusing to get introduced to a capital city, right before you are then shuffled to a new city to use as your main hub.

Oh fuck, you're right. 45 mins is not alot for a "deep" dive when you have to share it between 2 games, especially with classic and it's umpteenth game variants.

It was mentioned yesterday the Deep Dive panel is hosted by Ion Hazzikostas, so I would imagine this is entirely for retail WoW and not classic.

[Vakir]

Hes intelligent too. Hes proven it. Hes either really depressed and hates wow but wont admit it, or hes grifting. Or both.

Extremely. And you can tell he enjoys both when he plays them but has to keep the vibe going a certain way.

Wonder how Delves will work, i thought it was gonna be instanced content:-/

The Deep Dive panel is about to start !

[Sondrelk]

Something to discuss for future content here. Are the Arathi going to lead into the Scarlet Crusade in some way? Or are they a visual replacement for having actual Scarlet Crusade themed content in the future?

Some out there ideas could be that the Arathi are time travelling Scarlet Crusaders for instance. That they will go back to Tirisfal in Midnight to bolster the Scarlet Crusade. Or that Tyr or some Naaru is somehow in control of both.

So is the Deep Dive entirely about Retail WoW or will there be stuff about Classic too?

We'll know in seconds

Sure seemed like instanced content. There was definitely talks of loading into them somehow, though could be some kind of semi-instanced content.

I am going to bet on pure Retail.
There is nothing really to discuss about Classic+ given they specifically wanted everything to be a surprise. And Cataclysm Classic is already known, and I doubt they would have much to talk about for it. If there was I imagine they would shuffle it off to a blue post or article somewhere.

[ercarp]

There he is!

Loving Ion's shirt.

[Raetary]

Deep Dive is starting.

i love Ions sword shirt.

In the way they explained them, it sounds like an expanded version of sniffseeking.

[ZyntosAran]

I need that tshirt that ion is wearing.

[Kereberus]

Ion my beloved..

[Jodmos]

For crying out loud. Their youtube stream is requiring a login.

[Randris]

that shirt

[milkmustache]

Ooh this does seem to be War Within-focused. Nice.

Was just going to say that. Fantastic!
