Midnight 12.X Patches & World Soul Saga Speculation Thread

[Darkarath]

Well now im very interested in seeing all rewards datamined.

Strange that doesn't seem to be new Artifact skins...

They might be saving them for Midnight if they are bringing the Artifact Weapons system back.

How about linking Hero Talent Trees with Artifact Weapons? Would that make easier adding new ones?

nah, we go Shadowlands Remix! Now with fixed covenants and a good Torghast

I hope so because the amount of tediousness involved in getting some SL collectables is ridiculous. Also I love the idea of Torghast. It would be interesting to see what they do with it in a Remix version.

I honestly think SL remix is more likely because of two things:

1) Graphics are far, far better than Wrath: Mists seems to be the earliest Blizzard will go for major marketed content, as Pandaren are the benchmark for racial quality
2) Story may end up important to TLT, if the Shadowlands are part of the Titan Conspiracy

Also you can still do DK and Arthas themed items there due to their presence.

Have they said anything about the Duskwood thing outside of a small teaser? I feel like its extremely likely its been shelved/delayed at this point.

Anyway I'd bet on Remix launching within 2 weeks of 11.2.5 release and I wouldnt expect much else in that patch.

Remix is watered down nostalgia bait. Thats why they did MoP and now Legion..they arent going to do a Remix of an expansion that is universally hated.

I'm kind of feeling like Remix will launch with 11.2.5 to be truthful.

[Holdodlig]

It's funny because I've kind of guessed what they were trying to do in Legion Remix but that was a guess for Midnight

( here if you wanna read my prediction https://www.mmo-champion.com/threads...9#post54726409 )

I hope it's also a feature we'll see in Midnight. I've always felt bad for all the elemental trinkets being mostly useless because their element was barely used.

[Ersula]

I don't think we have any idea when the gamemode will be running. It could be at the start of 11.2.5 or part of 11.2.7.

But that's what seems so strange. Legion Remix will last at least 3 months, probably longer. Assuming last week of September at the earliest, that's well past 11.2.7

I hope to god they're hiding a treasure trove of Nightborne cosmetics.

Has the prodigal finally returned?

Just noticed this:

We can’t wait to see you on the Broken Isles in Legion Remix when the 11.2.5 content update goes live! Stay tuned to the official World of Warcraft site for more details in the weeks to come!

PTR might be gated behind Gamescom info?

I hope not. During the video they made it sound like the 11.2.5 ptr was going up immediately. They mean when its going up on live servers, so I don't see why they'd want to wait till Gamescom. Surely anything pre-order related is in 11.2.7

While the text here implies that:

It being ten weeks from September doesn't make much sense as the roadmap implies it extends far into Winter.

That's fine, as the roadmap implied remix starts around halfway into 11.2.5 and deep into 11.2.7. See above. Plans may have changed, though.

[Hearthfinder]

An Ethereal that really uses armour to cover it up would be very interesting. Like, hooded and cloaked. A smuggler, really.

[bruxx]

Out of curiosity, who among you would insta-swap your mains to an Ethereal if they're announced tonight?

Bonus question: which class?

Yep! I'm swapping my evoker main in a heartbeat!

Who am I kidding, even though K'areshi are known to be adept at magics (And at stealing them besides), the likelihood of that ever happening is like 0.00000001%.

I'll make an ethereal mage alt for sure though

There is a decent chance that if Ethereals are in they are playable in 11.2.5 due to the Gleeful Glamour: Ethereal being unlockable and craftable the same day 11.2.5 may release (or shortly before/after). The Glamours have so far only been implemented for races that can wear all player armor.

I had originally thought about changing my Arcane main from Nightborne to Ethereal, but I think that I'll try Survival Hunter after the Eco Dome boss. Love the warp stalker pairing.

That said, I hope we have a situation similar to a S4 where we can use dinars to purchase cosmetics/gear from prior raids, so I can catch up on what I may have missed.

[Samin]

Josh "Felcycle" Miller leading Remix, I wonder if there'll be new secrets or anything involving the old Legion ones.

I hope they'll add a use for Bronze for when you unlocked all the cosmetics.

[Holdodlig]

But what about the Darkshire event? Is it not during halloween? Did we get it in the wrong direction & its actually Classic Season of the Worgen?

Sadly they didn't gave a date. I'd rather say that it's likely going to be content for 11.2.7

[Dracullus]

The way the paragraph before it is worded makes it feel like it's coming this week still, maybe today. Granted, we haven't had any of the precursor signs like a catalog update, forum creation (even though the post talks about the PTR forums?), server update or client update yet though. The PTR is down, but that's about it.

How hard would it be to hide Ethereals and/or 3rd DH if PTR comes this week?

[Kiivar86]

Has the prodigal finally returned?

Man, I hope they bring in recolors of all the allied race heritage armors (that we don't have anyway). I adore the Lightforged Draenei's but there are other colors that would be so sweet.

[Cheezits]

How hard would it be to hide Ethereals and/or 3rd DH if PTR comes this week?

I'm really doubting 3rd DH based on Legion Remix in the same patch, Ethereals could be in and/or hidden as they would slot into Legion Remix without issue (no new class is likely).

[Darkarath]

How hard would it be to hide Ethereals and/or 3rd DH if PTR comes this week?

I have no idea of such things, but given Blizzard's record, I would say that extremely difficult.

Even if Ethereals are intended to become playable I think the current version of the glamor will just turn you into a generic Ethereal. Besides the toys, the worldquests that turn players into an Ethereal already work this way. It'll just be updated if & when they become playable.

Hard. Especially given their history in actually hiding things.

That'd be so confusing though. They don't have to add a Gleeful Glamour for Ethereals, especially the week of 11.2.5.
