Midnight 12.X Patches & World Soul Saga Speculation Thread

[milkmustache]

Thank god for the Arathi outdoor plate set because god damn is that paladin tier set horrible. Same issue with the death knight sets. They're always 2 colors only, such little detail to it. At least the Monk and Evoker set look great.

[Dracullus]

There seems to be a large number of Dalaran themed mogs. Maybe for the pre-expansion event?

Plus a Dalaran-themed recolor of the Argus world armor.

Yep, looks like gear you can buy on mass for alts during pre-patch. Looks like event will be on Silithus and Dalaran with some kind of reliving past events, then on launch day we will have invasion/battle intro scenario.

Maybe even Dalaran will change position (in lore of course) during 10.2.7 questline? There were some changes datamined in PTR already.

Plenty of non-evoker Dracthyr already hang around in dragon form all day.

Dragon form is the default for them (and all dragons). Visage is the transformation.

I know that, but are we sure they are not evokers?

There really isnt a good solution. They could maybe move some of the OP racials into class passives and abilities and give dracthyr new ones, but I think its a bad idea to give every non evoker dracthry glide. Everyone would want to be that race then.

Even among teh Dracthyr, evokers are the elite sect who can use all Dragonflight's magic. Plenty of NPC Dracthyr are less gifted than that.

Surely they aren't going to offscreen Khadgar, right? I don't believe it lol

What do you mean by offscreen? Obviously there will be in-game cinematic there.

[Cheezits]

I have a feeling they are going to make a trailer level cinematic about it.

[Scyth]

Ah fair enough yeah, there's definitely going to be a trailer, or I hope there will be. Will be odd if not.

[Chickat]

I honestly hope he doesnt die. But im not so invested in him that ill be mad if he does.

[Khaza-R]

People do remember his whole Shadowlands visit, right?

Archmage Khadgar says: Hello, Jaina.
Lady Jaina Proudmoore says: Khadgar! It's good to see you again. When we last parted, I regret that--
Archmage Khadgar says: Those were perilous times. The Legion's attack, then the war... I think we both needed to find our own way through.
Archmage Khadgar says: I have no hard feelings. Only friendship.
Lady Jaina Proudmoore says: I feel the same. But surely you didn't come all the way to the Shadowlands just to find me.
Archmage Khadgar says: No. For years I've read about this place in Medivh's books. I stood atop Karazhan and caught glimpses through the veil.
Archmage Khadgar says: I suppose I wanted to gaze upon the realms of Death with mine own eyes before...
Lady Jaina Proudmoore says: Is everything alright, Khadgar?
Archmage Khadgar says: I feel the weight of years upon me, Jaina. The burdens carried. The choices made.
Archmage Khadgar says: Hmph! Forgive the musings of an old man. I think I'll look around and see these Shadowlands a bit. See what wonders I can find.
Archmage Khadgar says: I've heard tales of conniving brokers, a city of secrets, and a land of ancient knowledge. How intriguing!
Lady Jaina Proudmoore says: Sounds like you'll be keeping busy! Just don't leave without saying goodbye. I've missed you, old friend.
Archmage Khadgar says: Count on it, Jaina. Be seeing you.

People thought it had something to do with his aging spell but its more likely that he saw the future and his own demise

It would be a kinda random moment for him to die, IMO. He's done pretty much nothing for 3 expansions, and then comes back for a pre-patch that kills him? Maybe he'll live on in a simulacrum or something.

He's a major character in DF, he appears in the first cinematic and helps you in the first raid, and then does nothing. His story in DF was kinda dropped like lots of other stories and characters this expansion, DF is a mess.

This shoulda been the Paladin tier set.

I bet he was supposed to play a big part in whatever content was supposed to be in Vakthros. No way they had it feature so much in promo material & the cinematic for it to have not been planned for anything.

[Baraden]

Yeah and other people have to look at your choice though. I care that it looks goofy. Class specific gear should stay that way.

Bullshit. I can turn into an ape with a glowing pink sphere or a 20ft tuaren with bright orange wings and you have to see it, why would it be a bad thing for my fury warrior to transmog fist weapons if he wants?

And actually, class sets are one of the few restrictions I think should stay

And as always, the shield clips the shoulder armor. Oh well, I'll have the shield-side shoulder bare for Prot.
https://www.wowhead.com/beta/dressin...08zRtY8cmD87Vz

Works great with Ashbringer as I'd hoped

Earthen are bigger than dwarves but weapons equipped on them have the same size as the ones held by dwarves, so they look tinier in comparison.

It looks great with Fyralath, Amirdrassil 2H red sword and aberrus neltharion's 2H sword as well!

Anyone have a lead on a composite mini-map map for Khaz'algar? Stuff like https://old.wow.tools/maps/Azeroth/1...-42.000/29.000. In the past I'd just wait for Mr bird to add it to wow.tools but since theyve soft retired from that project was curious if anyone knew of a different site for the full map.

I know wowhead had a small section of Isle of Dorn in the dalaran article they posted earlier.

Edit: Nobbel showed it in his first impressions video. Time stamp link for anyone else interested: https://youtu.be/LloUhgrpxlY?t=316

Going off that Isle of Dorn & Azj-Kahet look to be pretty large, while hallowfall looks slightly smaller (not counting the vast open spaces above the underground sea. And The ringing deeps looks a little smaller again, tho if its like Blizz mentioned at blizzcon it should have some areas that open up to land above.

[Scyth]

Blizz saw every Paladin player complain about the Priest Aberus set and decided to give them wings in their set too, but that one looks much more of a Priest set than a Paladin one tbh lol

I think Metzen just came back and started the whole world soul saga so they changed a lot in DF to make it work.

Some of the best outdoor sets we've ever seen, damn
