Midnight 12.X Patches & World Soul Saga Speculation Thread

11 spells? Better start speculating about which 2 classes aren't included :P

[Makorus]

The item set related spells are usually in the key that has the item set which in which case has 2 spells, so that would cover the "learn transmog set" spells and not be part of the 11 under the mount/maybe other stuff key.

Ah, I see.

I guess there's no real point speculating, might as well wait like two more months or whatever it will be.

Also, don't take this as gospel as it is even more speculatory, but some of the textures referenced around encrypted files (usually indicates they are part of the key but reused unencrypted files so they won't show up as properly encrypted) for what might be a pre-order mount/spell seem kind of light-related.

One of the existing unencrypted spell models it shares multiple textures with is this one (very zoomed in, but the rainbow effect/swirly part is shared), so whatever model is encrypted under that key might use a similarly themed visual!

Some textures are also shared with other models like the storm gryphon, various spells, Xal'atath and even a Ethereal boss model, but those are single-uses so might not be indicative of anything and just a coincidence.

Note that this is scraping the barrel in terms of how far I'm willing to datamine encrypted stuff and going into extreme speculative territory that basically consists out of grasping at straws.

That looks an awful lot like a heroic group of Belore'dorei elves zoning in from their sacred temple to kick Xal'atath out of Quel'thalas, before pledging their allegiance to the Grand Alliance.

Maybe that was just in my head.

Rogues just vanish, all Rogues become Demonhunters. Meanwhile Evokers are now Paladins because people asked for more Paladins for more races.

No forsaken and nightelf paladins though. But you can get "lightforged undead horse" and the "paladins nightsaber" via the ingame shop tomorrow.

Just over three weeks :P a lot better than two months!

Not enough time to complete my novella and send it for Metzen, is it?

Yah I'm sure they'll open up pre-orders after Gamescom. I'm honestly so excited for Midnight gonna be a long 3 weeks.

I legit can't recall being this excited for a WoW expansion and I don't even know half the stuff that will be in it.

I definitely agree! Vaguely knowing what we're getting has only contributed to the hype I'm feeling. As well as seeing a part of the Old World again, which is really tantalizing.

What we know for certain is long overdue stuff finally happening, which is hype. The rest is a mistery and misteries and hype.

[Darkarath]

Just to spark some debate.

How do you think that Salandria would mess up in Midnight? She doesn't seem a bad kid.

[Makorus]

Damn, I forgot the Preorders for TWW went live on the reveal date.

I went by DF (because I forgot TWW was a thing) which got their preorders two months after.

Hell yeah

[KayserB]

I mean, there's largely baseless speculation and then there's just making things up.

You didn't have to roast me this hard hahaha

Fucking bird.

[Bwgmon]

Just to spark some debate.

Maybe she gives a tour of the Sunwell to someone who is very clearly Xal'atath in disguise or something.

But yeah, this seems like the time to make "the event" that the bronze flight nearly killed her for happen, whatever it is.

Definitely going to be a case of her being in a prime position to stop the starting event of the expansion, but she freezes and doesn't know what to do because of her inexperience and it all kicks off.

The problem with that is though, why would the Bronze Dragonflight really care about that?

[Cheezits]

Regarding the CE items, I'm guessing it's High Elf and Blood Elf colors for two mounts and a transmog.

Yeah it is definitely more than not doing something to help. She either actively fucks up real bad, or does something horrible. Like knowingly helps Xal'atath or Dar'Khan or something like that.

I don't necessarily want to kill off the only known elf chick with short hair, but I am kinda curious if Liadrin would kill her adoptive daughter if necessary.

[Cheezits]

It would be amazing if they also bring the draenei girl who got the similar prophecy into the story and intertwined her story with Salandria's. They brought her back for the Draenei heritage quest (which seemed to foreshadow Midnight)

Funnily enough she's still a child, likely a nod to Eredar aging differently. But that dynamic would be fun if she follows Salandria around.

The old world honestly would benefit so much from more modernization. If delves are here to stay they should go all out with each zone (monumental task prob), more events, more reasons to visit them, same with old raids. Blizzard has so much content to use in the old world/raids and it's just sitting there rotting.

I'd love them to use timewalking more. Maybe the experiment with classic in China is a test for that, even the shattered timelines from Legion remix would be really cool if it works out.

Although I feel like this is a monumental undertaking, if it ever happens I can see a soft reset of Azeroth after WSS saga.

Idk, it's because the original line is "will not be held accountable for what she might do, or fail to do, in the future", which granted, was probably chosen because Blizzard didn't know wtf their intention was with that character back in TBC, so they just wrote something that can potentially apply to literally every single thing ever, but it's still interesting.
