Midnight 12.X Patches & World Soul Saga Speculation Thread

Housing:

Amazing as expected, the only issue is that I can't be in a neighbourhood with my friends without directly going into a private neighbourhood, which would be empty as its just us.

Honestly I'm really liking what I see of housing.

The same happened with WoD -> Legion.

Your ability to miss the point is impressive.

I wasn't a big fan, but I'm starting to like it too.

On top of what everyone has already said, housing is definitely evergreen content. The amount of customization for it we are gonna get I believe is gonna be crazy. I was bummed out initially with just human/orc housing as I'm a big fan of variety with so many different cultures we have, but seeing some elven and night elf structutres in one of the pics provided gives me hope we'll get a lot of new customization for housing over time.

My biggest fantasy is having a house in the twisting nether lol. We have toys that can change the weather and the skybox so I guess it's a temporary fix but they only last 10 minutes lol.

Housing plots on the moon!! A house in nether storm or something would be sick too

No snowy region?

In FFXIV we started with 3 housing areas. We got another one two expansions later. And two expansions after that did we get the snowy area. So chill.

I would genuinely be surprised if we didn't get a new neighbourhood throughout Midnight/prepatch of TLT.

Silvermoon is just too good of a backdrop to not use.

I'm thinking that there will eventually be an elf-themed neighborhood or hoods very soon, reusing the Midnight QT assets, but I can see there being some kind of surprise housing bundle that comes with the Collectors Edition as well. Ethereal house maybe?

12.2 will be a Titanic raid. I'll be here to see if I'm correct or wrong.

Kate Winslet as final boss?

Apart from the neighborhoods, I really hope they'll consider a model more like ESO, with instanced or semi-instanced pre-built houses all over the world that you can buy and own several per character.

The neighborhoods sound nice, but I want to live in the world I know, in the areas I treasure with all my heart. Not in some new instance zone where I have to share a f*ckin palace with all my characters. *Sigh* but at least other ideas sound appealing.

I don't think housing is gonna be in the collectors edition, adding mtx with the addition of a feature wouldn't go over too well and they seem to really want housing to be a slam dunk

Collectors edition is probably gonna be a void/light Phoenix mount that changes based on time of day or something and Alleria transmog set imo

That sylvanas promo picture is a completely new CGI shot. Looks like its from Midnight cinematic (similar to how Bolvar was leaked from SL). I already compared it to all of her CGI shots and nothing matches, and they're not gonna make a new one for glasses promotion.

Considering she's in the banshee getup and has the Saurfang scar, the only place it could be is from either the last Saurfang cinematic or the Bolvar fight cinematic. Because she's smiling it would likely be from the Bolvar fight if anything.

It's from the Shadowlands cinematic shortly after Bolvar turns blue.

Sylvanus also doesn't have red eyes or wear that outfit anymore.

Or, which is vastly more likely to be the case, it's just photoshopped for the promotion.

[Cheezits]

It looks similar, but it's not quite that moment. Her hair is going in another direction.

Either they reused the model, it's from a new cinematic (I would belly laugh if she just reverts to her old design, WITH the scar, just for brand recognition), or I haven't found the pose yet.

[Kereberus]

But how long do I need to wait to have my house just be an underground Forsaken crypt with the entrance just being stairs down.

[Raetary]

Yes, because they just mirrored it and upped the saturation.

I'm thinking the mount is either a (flying??) energy camel or an ornately armored dragonhawk that won't be accessible in any other way, similar to the Stormrook.

I refuse to believe they solely omitted the one original K'aresh animal entirely, as silly as it was. It's just not in 11.2.

Your exterior will probably never be that. But you can design your interior as a creepy crypt immediately. There's a lot of undead stuff we've seen already.

Smile is also completely different even if u mirror it.

The Housing Team should exist for this purpose, obviously considering the precarious nature of Microsoft maybe they and the Social Team get cut but again we'll see. I think its' very likely we get a Quel'thalas themed one during the last two expansions, at least.
