Midnight 12.X Patches & World Soul Saga Speculation Thread

[Dvalin]

Stormwind is THE iconic WoW city, of course they show it if they want to show a world-threatening foe again.

It's not at all different from the Legion teaser when Khadgar travelled to Stormwind to warn king Wrynn of the Legion's return.

I do not care for the Fel slop cosmetics in Legion remix. I would've instead liked updated textures for the class mounts. Some of them like Ban'lu are looking a little crusty compared to modern mounts.

[Combatbutler]

They have never killed a main character in the CGI cinematic.

And they still won't because Lor'themar is no main character, he has always been supporting cast and they want to focus on Alleria, so he has to go one way or another, most likely death, less likely commatose for half the xpack.

On PTR Remix start is October 7th, week after projected 11.2.5 date. End is 19th January - 20th would be pre-patch date if all 3 remaining TWW patches will last 8 weeks. If these dates are final, they align pretty well with 'default' 8 week patches schedule.

Been fine, I've checked the thread here and there but never while logged in so never commented. I'm sure I've missed many "leaks". Last I checked people were ranting about high elves again.

Yeah that happens every 50 pages or so.

There is no widely accepted credible leak. All od them are quite imaginative, except for perhaps the one where we can date NPC-s.

[AOL Instant Messenger]

If Lor'themar gets nuked in a cinematic I'm going to lose my mind. Such a good character, he deserves to live.

I wonder what's worse: for him to get killed off pointlessly while remaining a good character cf. SL Garrosh, or to live and be subject to modern Blizzard writing? Then again, I suppose the silver lining may just be cope since he's one of the few characters that otherwise seems to be weathering it so far.

Two new shapes of the Kul'tiran Longcoat got added, which could indicate a new race.

Hey man, what better way to tease Xbox gamepass getting wow then a teaser trailer for the next big expansion. lol

Also on topic I don’t expect anything big in the data mining…. I feel like we’re too close to gamescom

I suppose so. Well, expect a response from me admitting if it does show!

That's about when the expansion is expected according to the 8 week schedule, pleased to see this lining up with it and suggesting there is in fact no season 4.

I'm giddy to see my boy in a cinematic but I hope he's smart enough to fight her alongside Rommath, Liadrin, and Halduron. He's just a regular guy with a bow and a sword; he's not a credible opponent for an old goddess or whatever the fuck she is without serious backup. Fortunately the Sunfury Spire gang could conceivably provide him serious backup, even if they inevitably lose.

Lets be honest here, the dude is toast. Alleria will be the main character, and for her to go from distrusted and hated to loved and admired by the population, she has to be the one to pick up the pieces and save her people, it is one of the easiest ways to write this. So I fully expect blizz to kill most of the belf council and Alleria de facto taking up the mantle of leading the resistance.

I hate to think it, but her portrait is Ranger-General...I wanted it to just be of the Void Elves but that's kinda syncing up now.

Oh, S4 is long gone. I gave if some chance after roadmap since it's so cheap to make, but reusing S1/S2 dungeons in K'aresh was final nail to the coffin.

Hold up, hold the fuck uuup

But Kul Tiran longcoat is heritage armor. So are we getting more body types?

Or do Kul Tirans get a worgen form? i mean they were originally Gilneans so it is possible there was an influx of travelers from the mainland while the worgen curse was actuve. Maybe trying to get away from it an unknowingly spread it?

Or maybe I'm wrong maybe it is neither worgen form nor new body type and we simply get a new race. Either way, we win. We win big.

[Aurabolt]

Sylvanas returns in Midnight. It would be a surprise if she didn't make a cameo given the game takes place in her home kingdom. Same for Vereesa.

It's the black longcoat that everyone can get.

I'm assuming they mean the long coat recently added as a BFA Timewalking reward, which is was a notoriously custom shape.

The way the story was going this isn't surprising at all. It is easy to write and they can milk the drama of the windrunner family, their constant failures and a widow, throwing her armies at the void in her grief on top.

[Wangming]

Okay then, you two convinced me. It's mummy boys in a longcoat.

Also I called a whiny troll a cunt in the comments for the teaser so if I won't post during the actual reveal, the mods didn't appreciate my comment.

I guesssss. It just sucks. Lor'themar already was the one who picked up the pieces to lead his people back from tragedy. It's just kind of an annoying decision for them to do that all over again but with someone who has always been aligned with the Alliance. I understand factions are on good terms now, but I think slotting Alleria in to lead would kind of be ignoring all of the reasons the Blood Elves have stuck with the Horde.
