Midnight 12.X Patches & World Soul Saga Speculation Thread

[Joshuaj]

I just hope there will be different types of housing. Right now, everything seems to point to houses with or without exteriors, which is really cool. But it would also be nice to have single rooms in inns, for example. Given the social aspect of allowing other players to interact and decorate, it would be perfect for guild housing. They build a really solid base.



They said they would give more information at the beginning of the year.

Wait, they did? When did they say they'd talk about it more at the beginning of the year?

[Cheezits]

Why would they not reveal Housing to its full capacity in August? They will probably do that and then afterwards explain what will specifically be in early access.

Fighting Dreadlords in Midnight would be fine, yes. Going to Nathreza tho? Not so much.

Understandable.
Vampires, though, do fit the theme of overall darkness.

I highly doubt they will talk much about housing until we know for sure what 11.2 is.
Earliest I see it is a livestream talking about 11.2, Legion Remix, and then briefly about housing. And more likely once 11.2 is already out and we are learning about 11.2.5.

Ion said the plan was to talk more about housing "early next year" so we're already in the danger zone in regards to that. Although I guess they inadvertently did that yesterday by pushing that file.

[Reive]

before 11.1 or around april. that's when i expect them to talk more about housing

I don't know, maybe leaking a big file subtly named “playerhousing” without encrypting it is done on purpose to take the temperature. But I'm probably exaggerating.

For me the beginning of the year is the first quarter, and we're almost in February so yes, it's coming soon for sure.

[Limayria]

I would assume we'll get some kinda update on 11.1.5 and hints at 11.2 and they will include some housing details in that info drop

I also have a feeling housing decor unlocks will come before housing and will be part of legion remix potentially

These type of files are never encrypted anyways and regularly leak upcoming things between the various branches of WoW, so I don't think this was planned, no. It came with a -lot- of auction house related stuff too, so there's a chance someone just including "Hous*".

Lol looks like someone's about to get fired.

Nah, people don't get fired over stuff like that.

Sure. It also fits Death, which makes sense due to the San'lyn, and the birthplace of the Nathrezim.

Lmaoooo

I love the rare Blizzard fuck ups.

So, given what we currently know, are y'all hyped or nah? I'm cautiously optimistic.

I know, it was a joke.

hell yeah

I'm just waiting to see what they officially say about it, but it's extremely promising... it sounds really solid.

Yeah, that seems like the likely outcome if we are definitely expecting more house info before April/May.
Once 11.1 is out and everyone has gotten nice and comfortable, we will get a livestream talking about the upcoming 11.1.5. Some quick mentions of what 11.2 will be about. And then some quick info on houses and what we should be expecting when it shows up during the Midnight pre-patch.

[Nymrohd]

Eh, I fully assume this was intentionally leaked.

They also have an apartment thing in 11.1. It is likely they'll introduce a prototype housing edit system there too.

You know, Blizzard intended them to be playable in vanilla WoW. Instead, we're probably getting these customization-less mummies.

they have plenty customizations from what i've seen

Hey now, I don't tolerate Ethereal disrespect! They're cool!

They're, literally, covered in bandages. They have no faces. Dreadlords, on the other hand, would have an assortment of vampiric traits and could even take on the form of other mortals.
