Midnight 12.X Patches & World Soul Saga Speculation Thread

The evoker tier set is so damn gorgeous. Such a waste.

It's nice to have what is effectively an infinitely better version of the Vault of the Incarnates Evoker set though. Just such a shame that set didnt look as great as this one does.
My only fear with it is that they place teh best variant behind Elite PvP like they did with the fire themed VotI set.

Looks like Monks are getting Celestial themed tier sets.

Amirdrassil got Chi-ji, now Nerub'ar has Niuzao.

And the black variant is *chefs kiss*

It's nice to see the designers for Monks have some ideas other than the usual rice hat and prayer beads.

Bellular did confirm that even on the version of Alpha he played the Isle of Dorne was missing, "clutter, creatures, and a lot of those." And Blizz said it would look like that. So yeah weirdly the first zone available to test appears to be the most incomplete art wise.

The proto elves are on the wowhead dressing room by the way.


They look quite good.

I like how you can push them to look a bit more elven or a bit more trollish.

They might as well hang a big sign over them saying "Future AR option!"

[Raetary]

New Unicorns!

But this time with depression and anger management issues.

This is clearly a Vulpera situation.

"Nope, nah, nada, not an allied race, we just set them up differently to allow infinitely more variation than normally allowed. Naaaada."

I'm surprised the Harronir are in the files like this, so early, and not the Arathi. Making them half-elves is clever and an easy win for a subrace. But it looks like Harronir came first.

I bet you that the Arathi will mostly just be regular and KT humans. Maybe with some different ear options if they want ot make them all into half-elves. I very much doubt they will make an entirely new custom model.

Neat, I wasn't feeling it from the icon but that does look good.

I don't like the helmet. I think it could have been much better but the shoulders are great. Although I think it looks too Samurai-like, which doesn't really fit monk that much. It's not the worst but also not the best. I want to see it on Blood Elves.

I love Cloud Gryphons, damn they're good.

Daaaaaamn these are awesome. Also those Lynxes look great.

I think the evoker visage form will be the basis for a half-elf race.

Damn im jealous, every class almost gets some kind of leather loincloth belt piece but warriors get another metal bucket with horns.

[Raetary]

Also various new Shadow Elemental mounts.

Spoiler: 

which just makes me question further how and why we still don't have alternate Shadowform visuals when full on Black/Grey and redish black colorations are now becoming a thing too.

Strong possibility for sure.
Would be neat if you can unlock half-elf ear options for all human and KT though at some point. Like the undead elf options from SL, or the red skin for Draenei.

It had to happen eventually that Warriors got the short end of the stick. Usually they seem to get all the creativity.

Seems like a natural thing that would happen if you live among dwarfes long enough.

Thank god warrior can transmog dk and pala sets. It's always their saving grace.

[Alanar]

I guess to each their own, but i think they look kinda disgusting.

Its the drunk idle animation that gives and ruins it for me.
We also now have worgen with huge murlock heads and enlarged claws.

I hope they will receive some unique animations, but probably not.

Really? Usually Warrior gets some amazing sets that ends up some of the best sets from the instance.

Lets channel some Shadowlands era hype thread.

*ahem*

ALLIED RACE CONFIRMED!

To be honest, why isn't Blizzard able to create new skeletons and animations? I'd love to play as a new race and finally have some change after years playing as blood elf, but all the new races use the same skeletons and they just don't feel really "new". It's such a shame.

If they become an allied race, I can see myself creating druid with this. They seem very dryad-like. At least the female one.

DF last raid warrior set was another weird looking metal bucket set, other 2 in DF were pretty much metal too but better, not something i used but still, latest warrior set looked awful, but that's just my opinion.

Still i find it annoying as warrior main that they can't somehow imagine warrior set having some fur mantles, loincloths and such, more barbarian style theme..

*Ridiculous horns

Yeah.. I get they went for mountain thane helmet but it will look awful on most other races and it cuts dwarves beards, other races too it seems.

See, that makes the most sense, but from my first glance at the screenshots it looks as though most if not all the Arathi are fully clothed including helmets. Which makes sense considering their culture but still made me wonder if some kind of customization pass is coming for them.

Unlockable ear options for both sets of humans would make sense too. But I could see them being considered a subrace and also unlockable. The game needs more paladin options after all.
