Midnight 12.X Patches & World Soul Saga Speculation Thread

[bruxx]

Makes me wonder...

Will ALL of Midnight be Light Vs Shadow themed? Or will the patches spiral to Light themed or Order themed stuff?

- - - Updated - - -



I think it will be both. Snuff out the Light, consume Azeroth and maybe utilize its worldsoul, and become a Supreme Void Lord or whatever tf.

My guess is we defeat the void -> light goes all xe'ra on us -> someone or something notifies the titans -> TLT

The portraits being obvious characters doesn't mean much to me- we were not spoiled on Orweyna or Faerin until alpha/beta.

[JDBlou]

Honestly Voidlight is more priest. I mean they represent the fusion of light and shadow.

Just reminded me of that VE paladin NPC: https://warcraft.wiki.gg/wiki/Aeonara_Dawnshade

If we take Metzen's comments at the reveal way back when, it lays out a pretty reasonable patch pattern.

.0: Defence of Silvermoon
.1: Regathering of the tribes
.2: Final battle of light vs shadow, and surprise we get betrayed by the light at the end > leading to TLT

Not seeing a class mentioned and breathing that sigh of relief.

All aboard TLT as the expansion to give us a new class

The major patches for DF and TWW were all somewhat thematic divergences from the main expansion theme (but more or less connected narratively). So I think there's a good chance Midnight will be the same, the last major patch likely being a transition to TLT just like Karesh is for Midnight. But who knows.

Because TLT is the perfect expansion to introduce Tinkers, right?

And from what I can find, the Dragonflight preorder didn't even mention Dracthyr or Evokers at all in the preorder editions breakdown, despite them having early access. It was just noted separately at the end that they would be available at or before launch.

So comparing this to the most recent precedent, it tells us absolutely nothing about potential classes and races. It's not something that would likely have been included in the bonuses for different editions anyway, so we have just as much to go on as we did before the leak. If we do get races and/or classes, they'd be in the full expansion description, but just fall under "World of Warcraft: Midnight" here as a core feature.

yeah, i vaguely remember that demon hunters weren't part of the inital pre-order announcement, but were quite quickly added onto it. We'll have to wait and see. just 2 more weeks.

Give us Tinkers Blizz please, thanks.

Kinda hope not, but I've been shocked before.

[Enrif]

Still hoping Xal's target is not so much Azeroth but rather the Light itself.

unless azeroth is the light, than it would be one and the same target

Nah Light is after the WSS. That is pretty clear with the Arathi Empire waiting for our arrival.

We would probably start to see the... dark? side of the Light during Midnight.

Xe'ra is dead in our timeline, but I'm guessing that not in Yrel's one. Could Xe'ra guide her to us?

Because our Army of Light is not much, to be honest, just the Vindicaar.

[Makabreska]

At least something about land of expansion, like Blood Elves? Maybe some?

Are we assuming that Belves wont be prominently featured in Midnight? Pretty hard thing to do, considering they run the Silvermoon.

[Enrif]

She uses her new one.

Her old one was ranger CAPTAIN.

Only her mother and Sylvanas were Ranger General

could be a mix up from blizzard, or it really is her new title

Not after Xal'atath is done with it.

Imagine if its just going to be: housing, new dungeons and the same old etc etc.

No new races, no new classes, nothing that has been mentioned here. That would be quite hilarious.

oh thats true, I thought alleria was ranger general and sylvanas only got promoted when alleria went through the portal my bad

also the light turning against us, and us beating them back for now while also having those events kick start TLT would be good set up for light forces regrouping in the Arathi empire to set up where we go next

could even have whatever happens in tlt be what opens the way for the arathi to attack us in full in 13.2 or whatever

wooooooooooooooooooo-hoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, we're going to have more cool subversive ideas that nobody ever did before, like

Thing look good = actually bad because idk freedom or smth

woooooooooo-hooooooooo i am so excited for this deep subversive nuanced story that does the same thing we've seen done over and over that's pretty much the go-to for schlocky fantasy whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo I'm really excited to see where the six colors go next. I wonder if they'll be generic, one-note, in equilibrium, and obsessed with claiming the world-soul, or maybe generic, one-note, in equilibrium, and obsessed with claiming the world-soul, or better yet — and I'm really stretching here — generic, one-note, in equilibrium, and obsessed with claiming the world-soul. Man, the cosmic chart was such a good idea.

Knowing blizzard they will destroy Silvermoon to make up for dalaran being destroy even tho dalaran was back to being neutral

[Cheezits]

Wonder what that means for Halduron.

I assume, the actual leadership of Silvermoon and its own people will take a central role as well. It will always be a mix of characters, poster boys and girls will never be the only ones. Dont worry.

Bro never got any real attention.

Hes always been mostly blank, so for that matter it doesnt feel that bad if anything happends to him as a character.

God I hope this doesn't happen
