Midnight 12.X Patches & World Soul Saga Speculation Thread

[Golden Yak]

Could we be seeing an even darker and even more closely tied to Old Gods (N'zoth?) part to the Nerubian arc in the future?

I hope so! There's bits with nerubian structures deeper down - Ara-Kara and all, plus the regions past the palace that you get stunned and abducted if you try to fly into.

I'd hope for a region deep down below Azj'Kahet for the final patch, the rumoured Rootlands, with the Harronir dwellings, the region immediately around the Worldsoul, and of course regions of even greater Black Blood corruption and mutation.

yeah there has been a new 11.0.7 build yesterday and multiple before it, it should probably release on the ptr this or next week

[Xilurm]

Hope we get the direct soon. I wanna see the 2025 roadmap. It should technically end at 11.2.5 next November if all goes to plan.

[Ersula]

is the anniversary raid normal difficulty the most overtuned thing they've ever released? My raid group's average ilevel was 616 and we couldn't even finish it. I know they want it to occupy people for the rest of the year but the gear it drops is basically useless at this point.

And we have a date!
Fake Blizzcon almost here and the hype train is out for repairs.

We can get it up and running in the three weeks until then. I Believe!

[Dracullus]

No way they can hold PTR for 3 weeks, so I guess we will get "reveal" next chapter in 11.0.7 files anyway.

Then that's REorigination.

I'm sure they use that word multiple times as well.

[Joshuaj]

I'm sure they use that word multiple times as well.

Almost like that should be the ACTUAL name of the forge, right?

Interesting.....

[Trazzle]

Not sure others are going to read into it like we do Teriz heh.

[Golden Yak]

Undermine confirmed. Dogs are involved somehow.

Press release stuff for the anniversary. Not sure what that dragon is supposed to represent, that's not Alexstrasza or Deathwing.

Deathwing. But yeah, if you look closely it doesnt look great. Little hints of fire/lava and the jaw isnt sharp/metal. Maybe pre-transformation? Idk

I literally didnt see or heard anything interesting.
Idk who she was refering to either for tinkering.

Felt like what ever really. Unless you want to explain it to others.

This whole image looks off for some reason. I guess the weird positioning.. they tried to make it flow in one, but it really doesnt. The way they tried with Arthas cloak there.. ye not the beat one imo.

Feels more like an annoyed Flightmaster than anything. I think people read to much into it.

I think that's a collage of existing images of the characters. So there's a bunch of slightly different styles as well.

[micwini]

I think they've tried to imitate each game's artstyle, but it kind of flopped because it is too similar, yet too different to eachother at the same time.
The short is just a meme of people taking flightpaths while AFK

Yeah I saw that too. They are adding REAL LIFE PEOPLE into WoW, confirmed.

Why do I get the feeling Medivh will be important somehow? IDK, but it just feels like he could be the link to some type of timey-wimey, alternate universe shenanigans somehow.

Classic+?

Saving us from whatever doom Xal'atath has planned?

Talking sense with Illidan and Sargeras?

He did fly off into Netherapace when Khadgar last met him, didn't he?

Khadar didn't really look like a raven when he escaped the Dark Heart.

Maybe "the Lord of Ravens will turn the key" means Medivh sets Sargeras free, and we'll have a mega space battle between him and some Void Lord.

Because Medivh is active in the Great Dark Beyond after the events of Return to Karazhan.

Not an issue of “if” but “when” here.

I actually forgot about this portion of Il'gynoth's quotes. Has anything like this been realized? Or implied? Something maybe with Khadgar?

If not... it stands to reason this quote was meant to always be about Medivh...

Briefly tested both Enhancement and Elemental just now post patch (Not looking at numbers, just feeling out the specs).

Elemental feels about the same. Ascendance feels good to use.

IDK what happened to Enhancement, but it feels like it's popping off way more than it did prior to patch (Stormbringer Hero). I constantly have things to press, whether that be Stormstrike proccing, LBs/Tempests via Maelstrom refunds. The new Flame Shock talent (Voltaic something) procs surprisingly often and is a nice source of damage aswell. Feels like a good talent; powerful ability that replaces a core action is always a good idea, as opposed to more buttons to press.

I generally don't give much thought to shop mounts but holy crap, $90 for a version of the brutosaur? God damn.
