Midnight 12.X Patches & World Soul Saga Speculation Thread

What RPG doesn't have a cast of main characters?

Do people just want unconnected 5-quest-questchains with no connective tissue between them whatsoever? Absolutely baffling arguments.

I think it's more about this guy irrational hatred towards Anduin.

I don't think its that black and white. There's times where major characters are more organically woven into the narrative like MoP and then there's others like BfA and Shadowlands where their presence just feels forced. I think the later is really what some people don't want.

True, I suppose. But they're more like a small community of zealots, lol. Imagine an entire kingdom.

What's the difference? WoW doesn't do scale.

Happy Alpha week!




...right?

[Sondrelk]

Pretty big. In a kingdom you can tell lots of different stories, in different zones, involve various sub-factions, etc. The Arathi in Hallowfall is fairly limited in scope.

The Hallowfall Arathi are also the one who specifically went to follow the visions of the fallen star, so presumably they are more fanatical than the average Avaloren human.

And then we know there is some kind of a schism there for us to fight against, so a group potentially EVEN MORE fanatical.

...right?

Indeed, that's the one

[Nymrohd]

Happy Alpha week!




...right?

Fingers crossed

[justwatching]

I think 10.2.7 ptr will be this coming week and then Alpha the next tbh.

Hopefully 10.2.7 is actually good.

[Reive]

next one is going to be another empty week

i feel it

[Ersula]

Happy Alpha week!




...right?

There's two weeks left before the official release of Season 4. Unless the roadmap has changed the Alpha has to start before that. Then the Pre-patch is supposed to come out early Summer. Also, implicitly everything that's in 10.2.7 would also be in the Alpha so that has to also come out before the Alpha, so we have to assume next week is 10.2.7 on the ptr & Alpha the week after that. It's either that or they release both in the same week.

[Makorus]

The roadmap doesn't necessarily have to match up 100%.

Self-Found Hardcore came out before the Cata beta, for example, even though the Cata beta is before it on the roadmap.

[Cheezits]

I think 10.2.7 and Alpha will switch priority because per Hollys tweet, 10.2.7 is the alternative and "response" to Plunderstorm dislike.

Yes, but they made a formal announcement for delaying the Cata beta long before self-found was given a date. If there's no formal announcement about the Alpha delay, the releases will be in the order on the roadmap.

I think beta will come mid-late June to combat the new ESO & FFXIV expacs (& the new Elden Ring DLC)

There is no such thing as combat Elden Ring's DLC my friend. We just have to submit to the superior content.

I concur, got two guys from work getting Annual Leave just for that!!

There are several developers who love allied races and would love to see the system continue, since it's a cool way to introduce new races. When it feels right to use, they will.

[Throren]

at the very least I figure we'll get a blog for the remaining hero specs as they said they wanted all of them to be playable when alpha goes live and it would be weird to have it up, before we got blogs about all of them

So they'll do races that make sense to unlock and races that make sense to have from the start of an expansion. That's a good call.
