Midnight 12.X Patches & World Soul Saga Speculation Thread

[Joshuaj]

Oh god please no

It's also a Zereth Mortis Overseer that got reworked a bit by the Ethereals.

MAY be a good tie-in to Midnight, but that's assuming the Zovaal link is true ofc.

Regardless, IF the leak is true, then you'll never see me shut up

[Nightshade711]

China got a Lightforged Gorehowl statue a bit back.

And now a Void Overseer mount.

It would be absolutely hilarious if Midnight turned into a "AU Lightbound & Void Jailer" expansion. It would truly be the worst timeline.

[Cheezits]

It would be the first time a China mount ever foreshadowed something and it wasn't just a stylish recolor.

If they really are hyping a cinematic where the very first shot is the Jailer, then they are either extremely confident or insane- and I really, really doubt they would do it. I was trolling about the shadow as it's clearly the belf tower.

Also putting the energy macguffin into Zovaal would not help Xal become the All Devouring.

It's most likely Sunfury Spire, yes. Once again, IF Xal'atath does use Zovaal's vessel, you're not getting something that looks like Zovaal. You're getting Xal'atath with Dimensius's power and AT BEST Zovaal's markings.

Xal using the construct body with the heart plugged into it to power herself would be interesting, but seems like a strangely complicated plan with extra steps.

I'd argue it's not only a very fast way of doing things, but also a cheat code lol

[Cheezits]

... also it would be very funny if they just left the construct there.

[Nightshade711]

Inb4 Xal'atath uses Zereth Mortis to turn the Shadowlands into the Voidlands. That is why Blizzard purged the 'Voidlands' name from the NPC abilities as to not spoil it.
Midnight is only Quel'thalas for 1/2 of leveling and the rest takes place in the Voidlands.

The Voidlands name was removed?

im gonna say alpha in october
beta in january
launch in march or april

prepatch brings ethereal race
void demon hunter spec
housing

A few facts: We have The Darkshire event, the anniversary, Legion Remix & the pre-patch event. They're not going to overlap. MoP remix was 13 weeks....Legion Remix will probably be longer because theres a lot more stuff to do in Legion.

Im assuming her current body might not be able to handle Dimensius power but who knows :/ So the jailers corpse would be an upgrade from the void elf body she's currently in.

The lightforged gorehowl could be for Hearthstone since they've been doing a lot for Hearthstone in China since blizzards return. I say this because the next hearthstone set is suppose to be an alternate timeline set & blizzard has actively been working on chinese versions of Hearthstone cosmetics before the rest of the world(yogg-saron hero skin is finished in the chinese version not in other versions)

midnight has alleria going to the void side
turalyon dying
arator saving her
xal true form revealed and the secret that all void lords started as old gods who started as void users

probably a new class in TLT

You're suggesting 11.2.5 and 11.2.7 are going to together last 6 months (each 1 month behind the 8 week schedule)? That would put it WAY over time. I really seriously doubt Blizzard is going to have a single season last 9 months... That would make it longer than from the announcement of War Within to its release date, which isn't likely since Blizzard said the expansions are being delivered quicker. Not only that, but the road map doesn't suggest a season 4.

If we hear about an unlikely season 4, it'll be with the announcement of Midnight, so we'll see, I don't mind being wrong.

We have a few hints to us full speed ahead. I fully predict season 2 of Midnight will launch before Blizzcon in September next year where they'll announce 12.2 and the first reveal of The Last Titan.

[Nightshade711]

With them having already announced having two teams (one working on Midnight the other working on TWW) I wouldn't be surprised if we'll get Alpha very soon after the announcement.
With the ~1.5 year expansion timeline they said they wanted it could make sense.

8 weeks from 11.2 launch is September 30, 2025 (Possible 11.2.5)
8 weeks from Sep 30 is November 25 (Possible 11.2.7)
8 weeks from Nov 25 is January 20 (possible prepatch)

1.5 years from TWW is February 03, 2026. Would give us a 14-day prepatch if it follows it exactly. (Tough there would probably be a week or two margin of error. My initial quick math didn't count for holidays/time off)

This feels right to me honestly.

[Hearthfinder]

I wonder if they're announcing 11.2.5 this week or at Gamescom.

I'm betting PTR will hit this week for sure. After the raid drops & Blizzard isn't as worried about spoilers.

[Scyth]

I'll be very angry if Midnight has anything Shadowlands-related in it. Please no

[Hitei]

Where are the pages of posters picking apart the shots of the cinematic to prove it is fake

I mean, I can tell you it's probably fake simply because whoever prompted it missed that the Jailerbot's chin is separate and gold.

[Thros]

It makes sense to use a cosmic body, as every other cosmic power does, to infuse it with her soul and void powers because those bodies are built to contain such massive powers, so if she wants to become the next all-devouring without the limit of being pushed into the void but to roam the reality then Zovaal's remains of the body are her best shot. Assuming the shot is real that is.
