Midnight 12.X Patches & World Soul Saga Speculation Thread

[Eldryth]

Remix sounds great. Kind of regretting taking the time to level up every class now since this sounds like a much better way to level (and I'm sure I'll want to do Landfall and Isle of Thunder on a lot of classes if we can unlock multiple of those class sets), but it's not that big of a deal. I missed a lot of MoP the first time around so I'm looking forward to actually doing all the content here.

I wonder if Demon Hunters and Evokers will be playable and get their own class sets though. I did notice that one of the meta-achievements gives a trinket with Demon Hunter's Chaos Brand effect. Hopefully that's just meant as an equivalent to all those utility scrolls and not a substitute for DHs entirely.

Interestingly, the Worgen and Undead guards in PTR Legion Dalaran have been replaced by Silver Covenant Helves and Sunreaver Belves respectively. This seems to be an intentional change as they are Level 70s.

There's also a Kirin Tor portal in Telogrus.

They are definitely doing a "ok we'll use old lore and factions again" vibe for TWW.

I think the Telogrus and Dalaran stuff is probably going to be part of the Harbinger Quests leading into TWW. Alleria seems like the obvious link- she should be hunting Xal'atath, she's obviously tied to Telogrus, and the gameplay trailer showed her going to Dalaran and having her Void visions there. I assume we'll follow her to Dalaran and see the opening scene from that trailer.

The meta achievements for remix seems to be doable without doing raids, this is a relief.
Interesting are these two meta achievments
Landfall - Rewards Class Ensemble - Complete two of the following:
Isle of Thunder - Rewards Class Arsenal - Complete one of the following:

These are probably the recolors of the 3 piece trading post class sets... or recolors of the challenge mode sets?

I feel like its more than likely the trading post re-colours.

There were datamined ensembles that had similar names to the Trading Post sets/weapons, so it's gotta be those.

Nothing in regards to CM set recolours which is sad.

I think because Metzen dropped the Elves by name, people are sleeping on how the Draenei/Eredar would be involved. This is THE Light and Void war Velen has been yammering about forever, right?

If the plan isn't to make SMC full neutral, you have to get the Drae involved.

Yes, I have been mentioning the drenaei in other threads for Midnight. Some forgot hiw important they were in bc with the sunwell and all of that.

I have a feeling we might see the broken before that.

[Shamolo]

Wonder if they'll finally follow up on that loose end plotbeat from MoP about who killed Soridormi, if the Infinites are involved.

[Super Dickmann]

At long last, even more night elf content. All the primalists being put to public service on Bel'ameth is an inspired choice as well, a metaphor for tauren and sh*mans in general, really.

Telogrus Rift is being updated.

It looks like VElves finally got their own architecture, rather than some reused assets. Finally. I now wonder why Alleria is dressed in all white and not the colors of her people.

White is definitely closer to the Velf aesthetic than the green ranger gear she used to have.
I am more so annoyed with the new hairstyle. Makes her look like she is 16.

[Lahis]

I am a little disappointed though, it seems like we’re probably not going to be getting those primalist eye customization options that were datamined for every race a while back.

NPC customization for player races has been a thing since Vanilla.

Just because the models have dragon and primalist eyes or cult of the damned tattoos for the NPCs doesn't mean those features were ever planned for players.

At least they are doing something of substance.

because she is not a velf like the others. Her new outfit, in color scheme, matches tyrandes nightwarrior garb better. And i don't think that is an accident.

I think the class sets they mentioned in the blue post are these half set recolors and not challenge mode or recolors, because they have to include evokers...

Yeah, that does seem likely.
As mentioned though, there is the unused Evoker set datamined a good while back. And DHs did have a set in Legion meant to be the equivalent to the Challenge Mode recolours everyone else got. Though both that one and the datamined Evoker set might be problematic given their higher quality and detail compared to the Challenge sets.

Another thing like i mentioned about the lack of the kor'kron wolf recolors before and now i saw a thread on us forums about kor'kron cosmetics

These should too be included as cosmetics, tabard, axe and shoulders.
I think kor'kron shaman set recolors(cool) were datamined but nothing beyond that.

Completely forgot about those. Seems like a nice reward for HC Siege of Orgrimmar if that gets added. Maybe just even NM Siege of Orgrimmar if HC only gets titles or whatever.

I think you should be able to buy it for this bronze currency that they will have.

But it just makes me a little sad that they might again forgot about these, since i heard about the event i was thinking about cosmetics related to kor'kron because i love orc stuff.

Maybe they have stuff from bronze currency vendor encrypted or something, i guess we will see on friday.

oh they're hardly done. first "traitors" to be forgiven are the primalists (NE shamans in 10.x.y), other "traitors" are druids of the flame (complete druidic sect, with a firebear and firestag in 10.z.a), and then there's the question of Sira. "who?" treatment most likely though. a shame though, as classic NE society is divided into sentinels and druids. latest additions make a cooler version of each of them, as
1) kaldorei dark rangers and wardes are sentinels+, with an existing rotten Ancient of War and matching biome on Darkshore,
2) kaldorei DotF are druids+, with an existing burning Ancient of Lore and a matching biome in some corners of northern Kalimdor.
don't forget to put your oxygen mask on before helping your children.

also, i was neglecting mmoc for a couple of months - is your calia fanfic out?

Damn 10.2.7 looks SWEET af! The rewards are so so so soooooooooooo cool

I've no idea why they have even the tauren on the isle, though reintegrating the Primalist night elves is sensible enough given that their main complaint was solved. As for the Druids of the Flame, as an aesthetic this would have been the time to include them formally and make use of those defectors, especially since even Wizards have managed to make destruction as part of the natural cycle and specifically fire a druid class option in D&D.

The undead night elves are incorrigible.

As for Calia, no, I'm procrastinating ferociously as the deadline looms.
