Midnight 12.X Patches & World Soul Saga Speculation Thread

Azeroth being an absolute evil would be hilarious
Like we wake her up but she ends up being hyper fanatical about freedom and creation and decides to use us to cleanse other sealed worlds

Honestly, if Azeroth wakes and is not a bitch, it would be weird. Everyone has fucked with her for millennia and she was not even born yet.

Do you remember when expansions came with a behind the scenes section? I wonder why they stopped...

The reaction to the way they've been handling that stuff lately, look at the Dragonflight reveal stuff, explains why.
People are not happy.

Sylvanas was referring to the cycle of life and death when she said the world was a prison for the record. I doubt she knows shit about the world soul, and I dearly hope she's not relevant to this saga.

I bet she'll be back for Midnight. She fell defending Silvermoon, she was the Ranger General.

Then hopefully she meets her final death against the Void. I'm still fatigued from her presence in the story.

Pretty sure she will be. I just hope now with metzen they try to rebuild her character to a point i don't get ptsd when she shows up anywhere. I'm afraid that there is potential they write her as the hero and savior of the midnight expansion, so lets see what path they will take with her story.

Two new Ion interview articles.

Big news is 3 minor patches next year before 11.0, Fated will have no raid affix, and will be the 8 DF dungeons.

Interesting that it says the next 3 expansions are "as large as DF, SL and BFA". BFA was far larger than the other 2

[Xilurm]

I think I'm on board with the theory that Sargeras wanted to free Azeroth. Sounds interesting.

She wakes up and literally alters whole of Azeroth. Now every zone in the whole damn game is revamped and we can start from the beginning again!

Bruh, the denial that TLT's logo is 1:1 replica of the damn prison that held Iridikron is insane.

It's right there!



Christ Metzen: And there, you will uncover a vast conspiracy, one that stretches throughout the history of the world. One that will challenge everything you know about the titans, their intentions and the true nature of Azeroth itself.

Azeroth is not an unborn Titan. She's a prisoner.

I think it's more metaphorical than anything. The War Within logo has massive cracks all over the planet and obviously those are not actually there.

Metaphor for Azeroth being a prisoner, yes. Or the rings are deep under the crust.

On another note.
Seeing how Season of Discovery is currently being hardcore datamined is just sad.
It destroys the whole Community Idea of finding and seeing these things, and it will just turn out to be another patch.
Heres to hope that there is still a lot of hidden stuff.

How are they datamining it? I thought there wasn't going to be a PTR.

1.15 became dataminable on the ptr because the classic era servers are getting the same patch, just with the discovery set deactivated.

And now wowhead is all in datamining EVERYTHING the discovery set has to offer.

[Lahis]

Ah, okay. That might be it, then.

Because for the life of me, I just can't see how Amirdrassil just popping into the Ohn'ahran plains will make it feel remotely like an appropriate home for the Night Elves.

Green hills.
Wind-swept cliffs.
A general theme that invokes memories of Nagrand, Desolace, etc.

The home of the Night Elves needs forests, and preferrably enchanted ones. Not just a single tree.

Hopefully, Amirdrassil just ends up being a fancy cottage that lets you teleport to various nature-themed zones like the Emerald Dream, Ashenvale, etc., or it has a single portal in its midst that leads to a Night Elf-exclusive little instance which is a wild forest no one else can reach.

There is enough room to transfer the whole Emerald Dream zone into the empty space west of Ohn'ahran planes. The corners of the ED zone match the circle of mountains on the sea.

I'll be shocked if they don't transfer that done to Dragon Isles by the end of the expansion. Upper Ohn'ahran is grassy fields, but the coastal area is dense forest, and the new island from Emerald Dream with Amirdrassil and surrounding forests will just add to it.

I think the tree will enter the mortal world after the Worldsoul Saga is finished.

I doubt that, since Alpha/Beta it was obvious that something is missing from that hole in the ocean. I think if a transfer is going to happen, it will be within Dragonflight.
At a later point it will be a much less epic moment when Dragon Isles aren't as relevant as they are now.

Maybe that's the point, considering it's not going to be about the Dragon Isles, but a fully grown world tree the size of Teldrassil, something which Amirdrassil currently isn't.

The tree growing out of Emerald Dream, directly into Dragon Isles seems to be fitting the follow-up narrative after we save Emerald Dream from Fyrakk. I guess that might be a part of minor patch questline, something like 10.2.5.
It would be, once again, quite a disappointment, if this story does not get resolved on spot, while it's still fresh and engaging. But who know, right

[Nymrohd]

The tree belongs to the Dragon Isles. I mean the entire story has mostly been about dragons, not elves.
