Midnight 12.X Patches & World Soul Saga Speculation Thread

[Reive]

Well I am waiting for the source bucko.

it's from 4chan and you should know it since you probably post there with the way you write

[Khaza-R]

Blizz was already caught having some AI work promoting Hearthstone for example. So who knows.

It supposed to be a still of a cinematic model though? Why would you need AI for that?

Which board?

What thread?

It is very easy to check 4chan posts. Its all archived.

You literally saw blizzard using cutting edge quality cinematic stills from upcoming trailer yesterday, and these say "MIDNIGHT CINEMATIC" why would blizz use AI in this case?

Totally AI but still funny.

[Andromedes]

Netease largely does the Diablo Immortal stuff, so I wouldn't go too hard at Blizzard for that.
.

It was not only in relation with netease. Some HS hero portraits were also AI generated. But those were also outsourced to some regular ''artists''. Blizzard probably didnt know that and didnt release them when people got angry.

I dont know, i just replied, that blizz has history with using AI. I actually didnt read, that those were cinematic stills. So yeah, that would be harder to pull off. But i still dont believe it. Azshara looks off, and to me it doesnt make sense, that she has humanoid model.

Yeah, I think that shows they don't like using generative AI for art outside of for upscaling reasons, which is fine IMO.

Don't we all use generative AI for upscaling simply by using an Nvidia RTX?

Nice. Sorry I got on you.

Oh it was Reive, I just found the pic with my scraper.

I feel like the next 4 days are gonna be insane with fake leaks lol

[Wangming]

and to me it doesnt make sense, that she has humanoid model.

Unless we do some time travel cause we fail so bad at the launch event that we need to go back to Pre-Sundering Kalimdor to unfuck everything.

I know lots of people run away sceaming when they hear time travel cause all they can think of is WoD, but we also went to the War of the Ancients to get the Demon Soul to use it against Deathwing. Hell, it was because Timetravel that the Dark Heart entered the plot.

Lol. 4chan being 4chan. Some random douche trying to transvestigating Xal'atath.

[blaatschaap]

Have we ever seen downloadable character wallpapers like this before?

https://blizzard.westus-v2.propressr...ld-of-Warcraft has loads of this stuff

if it's fake, they intentionally ripped off this website's design to make it look like it came from a non-production server internally there or something

[Hearthfinder]

At this point I feel like this is probably the accurate description of what Midnight will be:

1. New Hero Talent trees.
2. New neutral High Elf race (no Ethereals or Forest Trolls).
3. New Spellbreaker class.
4. New take on Artifact Weapons.
5. Quel'Thalas is inside its own instance with seamless transitions like in Khaz Algar (no revamp of Lordaeron of the Eastern Kingdoms). Once a world revamp does happen, it'll re-join the other zones.
6. New Zones are Eversong Woods, Quel'Danas, Zul'Aman (might be renamed), Ghostlands (might be renamed), and Northeron. They want to capture the full High Elf vibe so they want these types of zones to tell such stories.
7. There will be a world difficulty toggle for Quel'Thalas, giving higher rewards but making it way harder.
8. Character customisation overhaul.
9. Halduron dies early, Lor'themar survives but disappears to create a vacuum in leadership, and all the Windrunners re-unite.
10. Sylvanas is able to save the kingdom, coming full circle.
11. Player housing will be their fallback feature to keep adding new rewards and reasons to stay subscribed, a bit like the Trading Post.
12. Silvermoon will stand, it'll be glorious, and it'll welcome all players as guests. But it'll retain its reddish colour scheme out of respect for the fallen. There will be enclaves for the diffferent kinds of elves, so everyone can feel like their unique style is being represented.
13. Heavy sun/solar/light/fire/arcane theme, with quests exploring the founding of Quel'Thalas and the early days of the kingdom, as well as its connections to the Arathi, the Scion, and An'she.

I'll refrain from making predictions about Alleria, Turalyon and Xal'atath because I know Blizzard wants to surprise us. But Queen Azshara making an appearance is probably a safe bet.

[Xeladriel]

For my could be:

1- Enhanced Hero Talent Trees

2- New demon hunter spec

3- Quel'thalas is his own continent, with loading screen, separates of the rest of Eastern Kindgom

4- Silvermon is invaded from void foces, a hostile open world city like suramar.

5- Alliance and Horde hubs going to be a Updated Stormwind and Orgrimmar so thats fit with the new neighborns stetic

6- Halduron dies indeed, and Lorthemar and Rommath, next Belf leader will be Lady Liadrin

7- Sylvanas coming back with Nathanos and Kael'thas from Shadowlands

8- New zones are Eversong Woods, Hills of Aman, Ghostlands and Quel'danas

9- The world difficulty that you said

10- Heavy void vs light theme


11- Extremely focus on Housing over another features

[Nibelheimy]

I'm not arguing for its credibility. But in the very limited still we were shown of lor'themar, I did think his ponytail looked a little short.

That model does have a shorter ponytail.

Why create a High Elf race when there are Blood Elves and Void Elves? They need to give them more customizations.
None of the Windrunner sisters are Blood Elf! I hope Lorthemar and Thalyssra are the main characters! We are in quelthalas and we should learn more about our solar deity Belore!!

I feel like this is ambitious tbh. A race, class, artifact weapons, and character customization? I mean, I wish this was real, but Idk if I'd call it accurate!

Sign me up right now! I'd swap my havoc main in a heartbeat! It's been my most wanted class forever! A mail class with a mana tanking mechanic!

[Cheezits]

Azshara instead of Xal? When Xal got a new model?
