Midnight 12.X Patches & World Soul Saga Speculation Thread

[Dracullus]

We thinking patch tease today, reveal tomorrow?

Could be tomorrow, could be Friday on summer fest, could be Sunday on xbox thing, could be next week, could be in 2 weeks day after patch launch. I don't see signs that any of these choices is more likely than others.

Yeah, it's gonna be after patch launch as they are doing a DD event this weekend, no chance it will be a part of the fest then.

I'm very tired of this patch but it looks like they are in it for the long haul.

[Foreign Exchange Ztudent]

Could be at the Xbox Showcase but it would solely be to get a more mainstream audience to remember World of Warcraft and get ready to check the Midnight Reveal later this year, I'm going to assume we're unfortunately going to wait till June 25th at this point.

[Kiivar86]

A patch doesn't really seem like the sort of thing for the Summer Games Fest, so the Xbox show or some other time, I'd say.

[Holdodlig]

If Blizzard hasn't said anything so far, then they won't release infos at the Summer Fest. We'll have to wait for the 25th !

[KyleEverett]

I just don't believe Blizzard could shift to do a satisfying K'aresh with as late in the cycle they would have had to swap.

My personal guess is still Ethereals invade the Rootlands to steal the world soul, or at least part of it to do something with theirs and then the final boss fight is overlooking the ruins of K'aresh like the cinematic.

Nothing about this expansion feels like we should be going offworld for a major plot patch. We have the unresolved feeding of the black blood, we have Orwenya being the new Speaker, we have the fact this expansion was sold to us as being underground on Azeroth.

We have the Deepgrove roots and petals, the roots all through Azj-Kahet and weird green portals.

I know some say "That can just be The Last Titan." and I vehemently disagree because The Last Titan is likely full of stuff already that returning to the Coreway then would feel like whiplash after Northrend and Dragons.

“A Song of the Depths.” See y’all for the announcement!

I'd be so hyped for that, void/kobyss/naga raid aaaaaaaaa

Rootlands and Underwater, with Naga, Ethereals and Kobyss in a corrupted Titan facility would be a peak ending for the expansion.

Honestly, Rootlands is probably the weakest aspect of it, but if it was partially made, and Orweyna and the Harranir are still there, might as well use them. Could be there to give a bit that isnt just underwater, given some players absolutely hate those areas.

[Makorus]

As much as I would love Karesh, it just kinda makes no sense this expansion, and would make too much sense next expansion.

Rootlands + Coreway + Titan Facility continuation from Excavation Site 13 just makes the most sense thematically.

Is this a fan-theory?

If Uldaz is the name of the final raid of the expac, or at the very least the final raid area of the expac, I'd be so happy!

The song itself ain't a theory, it's an actual in-game book from Dragonflight which seemingly implies Azshara working with the Void Lords.

As for where the song is coming from tho? Now that's the theory

Just referring to the https://www.wowhead.com/item=204335/...-of-the-depths

Again, I mean its' unclear where Queen Azshara would be placed at the current. I could definitely see a surprise Queen Azshara 11.2 patch that no one expected but she could also just be a Raid Encounter in the 12.2 Raid.

[rainhard]

A final patch culminating at hallowfall would be neat since they are a fan favored faction, the theme remains underground and we get to learn more about the beledar, the depths of the undersea, and perhaps a part of the roots of elun'ahir.
These 3 areas are so close to each other and we already have the drained lake that perhaps could collapse more and open up right under the beledar making a zaralek like zone, perhaps half submerged half drained jungle like zone.

[Merryck]

Makes a lot more sense to deal with Azshara in Midnight. We'll finally turn her into sushi. Or calamari I guess. I'm hungry.

And my queen Sylvanas returns. The one, the true. The best character in the whole franchise.

[Foolicious]

After trying out dastardly duos a bit i'm still convinced they should have branded it as the return of the brawlers guild.

I'm pretty sure Azshara will look quite different when we see her again.

[Lahis]

I'm pretty sure Azshara will look quite different when we see her again.

She'll gain her legs back, so whoever has been making the Xal'atath cutscenes can have a feet-off betweeen Azshara and Xal.

[leothar]

What are the chances we get any 11.2 info this week?

[Darkarath]

What are the chances we get any 11.2 info this week?

It's looking bad.

Unless something crazy happens today, most likely scenario is a teaser on sunday's event, followed by a WoW Cast next week (IMO).

I believe that they usually make an announcement if something is coming up. We have nothing yet.
