Midnight 12.X Patches & World Soul Saga Speculation Thread

Kezan zone, so that they can fit a couple delves and an Undermine raid as the capstone?

Would be nice for sure. Though I dread having to potentially go to the Rootlands as a dedicated 11.2 zone. Really didnt feel the Harranir during questing, and another purely nature themed final patch would be so boring to me.

Though I shouldnt judge before it actually happens.

Hell yeah it's not underground.

I think Rexxar should show up on this isle, it really seems like a good place for him and misha to explore.

[Sondrelk]

Did we ever got something like that with previous, questionable options? No. So dont expect it here.

What kind of explanation do you even need here? Its all for your own interpretation. Like the darkfallen costumization, which was simoly called dark ranger, while being available for all other classes besides dk and dh. We wanted an explanation to, for why not calling it darkfallen option then. It never happened.

Get used to it.

The undead elf options were preceded with a quest where you helped the undead and got some lore on why said undead elves were returning to their factions, rather than just being background characters.

As I said though. I don't need an explanation, but I am curious whether they will have some Arathi lore, or whether the backstory to the pointed ears will be left vague.

I'd be fine with another "druid-y" zone if it goes more haunted forest than Emerald dream 2.0, like the Gilneas Blackwald crossed with the creepy blood pits in Azj-kahet vs the 99th Night Elf Forest (except underground).

I'd like that a lot!

This is the most filler island to ever filler island in the history of WoW, but its a throwaway minor patch with no new art assets. Whatever.

I mean it when I say NO new art assets, I didn't see a single one.

[Sondrelk]

Return of Plunderstorm is intriguing though. I do wonder what kind of rewards they will add to it. I suppose one of the recolours of the plunderstorm captain set is a decent option, though that might be a bit boring.

I'd prefer The Undermine to be the Megadungeon, but this could work.

So what's up with the Harronir then? We really gonna have another Life zone as a final patch area? Cause we just did that with the Dream.

Also, what's up with the Undersea? There's stuff going on there. Kinda hope that's where we have to go in order to find Azeroth's Worldsoul.

Would you prefer if we didnt get a filler island? And instead the goblins were just setting up camp in a corner of the Ringing Deeps, or on one of the unused islands in Dorn?

It's Gallywix, isn't it?

Honestly, probably yeah? Encourage more foot traffic in Khaz Algar and drip feed a mount or two thats recolored from the Undermine patch.

Still dream of a final patch where we take an airship across the sunless sea to beneath Silithus. See titan machinery and old god servants. And end with a final boss against C'thun.

Sadly we will probably just get another nature themed zone with little variation on what we have seen before.

No, the question was really about why the undead skin was made available to other classed, while being called dark ranger. Its been said this was to roleplay, the san"layn. Which was confimed to be darkfallen mages etc. It never made sense, not in the name and also not in giving it to void elves. Who werent even at darkshore. No explanation was given.

As of those ears. Well this was explained in one of the tablets or lore dumps with the Arathi. For some weird reason elves ended up with them. Now all of them have them. I know its bad, but its there.

[Cheezits]

The story is pointing us towards the Coreway finale more than Rootlands IMO. I don't think it got cut, but maybe turned into a Megadungeon?

[Nymrohd]

I wanna be a half-elf so much but my character has a complete backstory RP problems.

Ain't C'Thun's body deactivated, with its essence being in the Void?

Cause, be real with me, it's hard to call an Old God "dead", cause of how weird their bodies function.

one of my characters backstory is that she's partly descendet from the high elves, but more like the child of the child of a half elf, like 1/8 elf, so just pointy ears will fit perfectly.

I was thinking Undermine could be the megadungeon LMAO. They usually love doing city/hub states in that manner, from Mechagon, to Tazavesh, to the Bronze Dragon area.

Why not have TWW give us the Goblin equivalent to that, with the Undermine?

He is probably dead. But that doesnt mean there isnt some way to have his body be revived, or fight an echo of his essence, or some other option from the myriad available.

Mostly I just want to see what Silithus looks like under the sand. And crossing the sunless sea from Hallowfall is too perfect an opportunity for me to ignore.

Its very possible, but the alternative is a patch too similar to both the Dream patch and the Mechagon patch.

Undermine as its own zone proper would be paying tribute to how its a very old wow concept PLUS it diverges from those old patch ideas.
