Midnight 12.X Patches & World Soul Saga Speculation Thread

[Khaza-R]

I don't think Zidormi will even be involved. OG Quel'thalas is housed on the TBC servers. New Quel'thalas will either be it own new server or grafted on to EK. But either way they won't be directly connected at all.

[Chickat]

It most certainly should.
Arator killing his mother would be the emotional arc of the decade.

But it'd also be a very easy way to shove Sylvanas back into the plot and capitalize on her character.

Also with Alleria dying would potentially have Turalyon spiral out of control and fully embrace the Tyranical light. I could see 14.0 him ushering in Yrel and the army of the light. It would also complete Anduins arc. It would be Priest vs Paladin for control of the alliance. Anduin wins and assumes the throne as a 30 year old changed man. Kind but not naive.

maybe it ends up being that, Xal,Idi and everyone else were doing the right thing only to find out once we go into the final chapter surrounding the intentions of the titans.

We start to have more and more people questioning the titans, not sure about Azshara tho.

No, they want to have Azeroth for themselves just like the Titans do currently (they don't control the planet entire, but they have the World Soul that is more likely than not to be born as a Titan).

TWW's theme is pretty boring. Hope they get to the Void really quick. Couldn't care less about rock and diamond dwarves yelling 'CHAMPEON!!'

[Khaza-R]

So the relic thing that Iridikron used to absorb Galakrond's essence is now with Xal'atath.

I am guessing she might be using it to evolve the Nerubians. But I also wonder if its ultimatley purpose is to be used on the Sunwell and "devour" all of its Light.

[PotHockets]

If its Zidormi, it will be incredibly small.

How many interviews are out? Anyone have links to any? I saw the one about the new bg drom yesterday.

It's gonna be a Quel'thalas the size of modern zones you just have the option to go between the two if you want.

Zidormi can just be used as a local teleport between either map.

To each their own but I think returning to classics like dwarves, kobolds, nerubians and the Arathi is great.

Half the zones of the expansion are about Light and Void...

Well i was just thinking because the zones wouldn't match up anymore like current zidormi transitions it wouldn't work. But i suppose as long as zidormi is somewhere where both zones are on top of each other it won't matter.

Also the light crystal turns void sometimes plus the nerubians and Xal Atath so its not like the void is absent in TWW. Imo TWW is To WoD what Midnight will be to Legion. Then the titans come and we have to have a battle for Azeroth. IE convince them by any means necessary not to reset the planet.

Have to admit I'm confused by how Galakrond's essence works if it's the thing that is making Humanoid Nerubians.

Is it just because it's related to Yogg (who corrupted Galakrond, confirmed now) and his curse of flesh? Then why is it called a hunger?

Why would Zidormi be needed at all though. The only reason she's around is to flip between phases of and old zone. But that's not what's happening here.

There's almost no way that NM Quel'thalas is built upon the TBC server version (lets also not forget flying issue here). They already made it pretty clear if you want the OG version of Quel'thalas its available in Chromie Time. But Zidormi isn't needed.

[TheramoreIsTheBomb]

They could just fly the Xenedar underground, set fire to the Neburians, and gg expansion over.

[Cheezits]

Did they say where the road to the World Soul is located? Is it in the Ringing Depths?

Would be cool if it is a giant deeprun tram.

I think people forget how weak the Xenedar is, all it did in Antorus was make tiny holes.

Mu question is how will this work with the inevitable full world revamp eventually. Do they revamp Quelthalas now and remake it again in 2 or 3 expansions later when we get a full revamp? It will be too big to just stick to the EK. Will there be a cave we have to dragon ride through to tp to Quelthalas using the new tech? Do they make all of EK and Kal 2 to 3 times bigger so they can stick ot on?

Based on what they said about Azj-Kahet, there's a schism between the Nerubians. So maybe its possible the evolved ones are more voracious and violent than the queen realizes. Not really "evolved" at all.

weak? that thing fucking dodged a titan, blew up doors and armies of demons in argus and at antorus. that thing could fry those spiders with the very thing that is 100% against them.

Yeah its more small Lazers with the power of TNT and less mega nuke.

If they do additional EK revamps they will probably just build off of whatever is revamped in Midnight and use that as the base.

People love to confuse gameplay mechanics with lore. In Argus, the light mechas we had were godlike when used by players, we could mow down hundreds of mobs with ease. But as soon as you see a NPC with it they're just another fodder to the cannon. The same applies to the Xenedar.
