Midnight 12.X Patches & World Soul Saga Speculation Thread

[Cheezits]

I don't think its unfinished. It just likely has multiple tints and variations like the human one.

Also love the inspiration

It's straight up missing gloves, but yeah it's actually mostly finished. Just kind of simple.

[Foreign Exchange Ztudent]

Ma'nari Eredar or Argus/Outland Broken rejoining?

Well that would be a big free win and they like those. Sooo. I mean who knows, it feels more like its tied to canonizing the short story into the game.

[AngerFork]

That's worded so bizarrely. Just some of the Draenei people? Sounds like a new class combo if anything.

Possibly, though that would somewhat break with how they've done the recent race/class combos where they do all of one class at once. Maybe this is how they introduce Druids, though it'd be weird for Velen to predict that some of his people will learn how to turn into bears.

I'm wondering if this might be a lead into some sort of Eredar skin or the like.

[Cheezits]

The customization line says Forsaken, Nelf and more. Considering they namedrop the Draenei, it's probably a new skin they are keeping secret... so I am going to guess Broken and/or Red-skinned.

[Raetary]

The Forsaken set looks neat.

The backpiece is pretty cool, and i like the purple Lordaeron symbol.
But it seems a bit unfinished around the torso and gloves.

And god damn man, i'm begging that the Nelf set looks good.

[Hugnomo]

Broken draenei would be effing amazing

[Foolicious]

That's worded so bizarrely. Just some of the Draenei people? Sounds like a new class combo if anything.

Only druid and demon hunter are missing and i doubt draenei would be a standalone race to be added.
Maybe fel/demon skins for draenei? Or maybe a simple story quest without any significant rewards? Would be a new thing.

[Foreign Exchange Ztudent]

I don't think they will make Broken and Man'ari available. That would be insane.

[Cheezits]

I don't think they will make Broken and Man'ari available. That would be insane.

Both are possible, as the new Broken in 7.3 used player model rigs and Man'ari are an easy skin choice. I think Man'ari is way more likely.

[Kiivar86]

Seems odd to have that Draenei part yet not have them have a heritage armor set.

But yeah I could see it being man'ari eredar being brought in, skin wise.

What is this, a patch reveal post for ants?

On a serious note, really excited about Night Elf heritage armour and customisation options.

If Dreamsurges are themed around the Emerald Dream, they should be cool as well. Hopefully we get some transmog from those.

Also super welcome with updates to Brewfest an Hallow's End.

Other than that, seems significantly lighter in content than 10.0.7. But I guess that depends on how large of a feature Dreamsurges is, and how big the holiday updates end up being.

Considering 10.0.5 was basically nothing, and 10.0.7 was much larger, and the new 10.1.5 patch was much larger than 10.0.5, it makes sense for 10.1.7 to be a bit smaller in scale.

[Raetary]

and the night elves can adorn themselves with additional choices of face and body tattoos.

We are getting new markings.
I repeat, we are getting new markings!

It's time to rejoice!

[Xilurm]

Finally we're getting the heritage armour. Good to know there's new customizations too!

[Valysar]

They're adding a new public event where everyone will lag, nice !

[Fahrad Wagner]

Very excited for the new NE customisations and heritage armor set!

[Dracullus]

I doubt it. The roadmap says that 10.1.7 releases in the autumn, which begins around September 25 in North America IIRC. September 26 is a good release date candidate for this patch.

Then going by the average length between patches in Dragonflight, that places 10.2 somewhere around the end of October or early November.

That is good point, cause Blizzard usually stick to seasons and clearly 10.1.7 is still under Fall. But after 10.1.7 reveal I still doubt 10.2 will be later than October 10th (so race would wrap up before Blizzcon).

It's just 2 new heritages and pre 10.2 event, not even timewalking/brawler's guild yet (which is guess is moved to 10.2.X), could be even shorter than 6 week long 10.0.7.

[Kiivar86]

Another thing to notice: the older roadmaps had 10.1.7 pretty solidly listed under "Fall".
https://www.wowhead.com/news/wow-dra...shots:330697:1

The new version shifts "Fall" way to the right. Since autumn begins around September 23 in North America, my previous release date guess was September 26 (the first Tuesday of autumn).

Now, though, we might be able to expect 10.1.7 sometime in late August or early September, it seems. 10.2 is probably also coming sooner than expected as well. October, I'm guessing.

Should also note that it says that updated Brewfest is in the patch. I know we've seen a few pieces of it datamined already, but given that Brewfest is September 20th...

[Kiivar86]

I know I was an idiot about Fyrakk before (not gonna forgive myself for missing the damned obvious "flame extinguished" being the sundered flame...) but maybe this is the patch where he's handled?

I dunno, at this point after my idiocy I'm not gonna call it for sure, heh.

[Aeluron Lightsong]

It was pretty obvious Fyrakk was going to be fought again and well DREAM SURGES kinda show where we're going in 10.2.

[Skildar]

I would expect season 3 to start a couple of weeks before Blizzcon. But I'm not sure if they would talk about the last season and the next expac or only the latter.
