Midnight 12.X Patches & World Soul Saga Speculation Thread

[Ersula]

well it looks like we watched 2 different blizzcons

Is this your first Blizzcon? Let's review:

Warcraft: A Dwarf reskin. A year long content drought. Cataclysm talent trees returning. Three Logos.

Hearthstone: An expansion they already previewed a week ago.

Overwatch: A new champion that first appeared in the game a year ago. New map that is just an old map.

Diablo: A static image of a building from Diablo 2.

[Makorus]

Nope, it seems foreshadowing for a story after the World Soul saga.

Nah, doubt that.

I don't think they are gonna have any Titan-focused content for a while after The Last Titan, so Avaloren wouldn't really make much sense.

[micwini]

For what it's worth, S1 DF was 4 1/2 months.

S2 DF is just really long. I think TWW is gonna release September.

I hope to dear god you are right.

This Blizzcon was really bad with the "We will show you more next year ".

Like, bitch, it's Blizzcon. The D4 Expansion is gonna come out before next Blizzcon. Are you really just gonna have a shitty blogpost?

#whenitsready guys!

[Auxis]

I can't remember where exactly in the announcements I saw it, but there was a quote or phrase that sounded eerily similar - like, to the T - to something an old god or minion said. I'll try and find it.

False alarm, it was about Xal's new "empire".


The "one that knows our strength" line.

TIL that content draught starts the moment final tier patch lands.

Haven't seen this much bad faith interpretation in a while. Sorry than no Sylvi revealed. Salty people will be salty.

[Well Done Steak]

What if Avaloren is 10.2.5 or 7.

They keep emphasizing there's more story in df

[Cheezits]

Avaloren aren't Titans, they are people the Titans hate. Or at least Odyn.

It is not going to be anything more than what minor patches are and it is mostly just going to be story epilogues for a story that was incomplete.

Anyhow, they might add a Mini Raid Tier so it gives the Defenders some new ammo to spam that we didn't technically lose a raid tier.

[Joszef Kiprich]

I'm fairly certain tWW will release before Blizzcon 24. At that Blizzcon they wil show what lies ahead for tWW with perhaps a small preview of Midnight.

[Cheezits]

SUPER INSANE PREDICTION: A SL covenant race will return in 13.0 somehow as an AR. Maybe Kyrian so people can play Valkyr.

[pacotaco]

Kul Tiras does fit the bill, not going to deny that. But the wording is vague enough that you could easily assume there is a currently unknown human kingdom somewhere.

My guess would be that Avaloren is a continent even further west that has Avaloren, the green dragons, and what not. The place the Titan Keepers didnt want anyone to go to.

This. It's probably the continuation after The Last Titan.
Blind guess: the Titans are not actually helping or caring about Azeroth. They have her imprisoned (and probably changing her or trying to brainwash her).
Sargeras did the same with Argus, and he was trying to get to Azeroth to get control over it, and when the others caught him, he went "fuck you, you won't have her either"

SMC revamp preview and the layout of the zones, as well a Nerubian race reveal for TWW, would be choice.

I think it has been fairly theorized by now that a worldsoul doesn't start off as a Titan, and the Titans have been influencing/changing Azeroth so that she becomes a Titan. But it would be a hell of a reveal if she's bound up/imprisoned and they forced it on her.

If we get a new area after 10.2 my guess would be on Silithus again. A questline and maybe some world quests and whatnot.

Did you consider Shadowlands Fated Raids new content? If the rest of Dragonflight's content is so amazing they probably should have shown some of it. Because the vast majority of things they covered, they showed none of it:

New Raid. New Battleground. New Abilities. Those Cataclysm "changes". Delves. Midnight. The Last Titan: No footage what-so-ever. And if you know anything about Game coverage, if there's no footage, there's a decent chance it will never exist.

If anything they didn't show the content map for DF because they didn't feel like they needed to.

As has been mentioned before... barely anyone cares that there's no 10.3.

Trueeee. The game will not exist.

[Powerogue]

I should've seen it coming with Zaralek establishing the technology that they'd go for an underground expansion.

Seconded the notion I saw around that Arator should have a key part to play in Midnight. Come on, child of the leader of the Army of the Light and the Void Elves? Basically a blank slate character? Storytelling gold.

(Or a terrifying mary sue, but we can all be fairly confident Blizzard learned their lesson with Med'an the half-orc-half-human-half-draenei Shamageadin guardian)

I think this has to be likely. Those humanoid nerubians are prime allied race potential, especially if the whole theme of this saga is "we need all we can get to fight the shadow thats coming". Also showing people a fan favorite city in top tier graphics will be a huge win.

Actually, now that I type that out, they said the Radiant Song would begin in DF... I wonder if they use that as an excuse for Velen to call out to Hatuun again and ask him to help them save Azeroth like they couldn't save Argus. Easy excuse for Broken into the story (after it was heavily hinted in the Manari quest)
