Midnight 12.X Patches & World Soul Saga Speculation Thread

[Wangming]

Tbh, if we got the broken from WC3 instead the stupid eredar retcon that would would of been awesome. Unfortunately the broken got continuously shit over the course of the game. I am not against them being added but there's so many more interesting races they could add first.

WC3 Broken were just Draenei.

That Eredar retcon in TBC was so fucking stupid.

D'you thin they'll go the route of utter obliteration of the old Eversong, Silvermoon, Ghostlands like they did with old Vanilla zones in Cata; or have it still be accessible via some Bronze dragon npc or something?

Pretty sure they said old Eversong and whatnot were going to remain untouched. As for for new Quel'thalas? I'm sure there will be some Void additions, but I really hope Silvermoon doesn't get destroyed. People have been wanting to see that properly revamped for the longest time now. If they pull a Dalaran on Silvermoon, it would make a lot of people disinterested.

If we can't get UC back I'll settle on Stratholme being the new Undead city.

[whoisqnx]

What kind of cinematic would you want?

Personally i think we will see both the beauty of Silvermoon and the surrounding area and then a completly nightmare-ish scenario where Xal'atath kills guards with ease and also makes Lorthemar kneel without a single drop of sweat. She literally has the power of a Void Lord and several other beings now in her hands, she has to showcase this power. I think she will manage to corrupt the Sunwell in the cinematic which will result in the Void being able to come through from the sky.
Complete chaos ensues, people screaming for their lives.
Camera pans out, the entire isle of Quel'danas is covered in the Voidstorm while Alleria is watching from Silvermoon.

I already know my dream isnt happening which would have been Velen's vision from "Prophet's Lesson".

To be fair a rebuilt Stratholme with Forsaken architecture is better than the ruined sewers of a demolished city.
Way too much of Undead stuff is just decayed human stuff.

So pretty much my idea without it being a vision. right?

The one button rotation shows that WoW really could go to consoles. Not for world first but for your casual Joe its really feasible.
Classes where I didn't really like the rotation of are really fun to play now. Turn off brain, don't stand in the fire, fun.

That is true.

On the other hand if an apocalyptic void invasion barely has an impact on the landscape, people will not feel Xal'atath really is a threat.

So the Reshii Wraps are used to allow us to phase dive into Manaforge Omega because Dimensius has so much radiation from his void powers that it's the only way we can withstand it... am I getting that right?

I wonder, will something like this carry over to Xal'atath in Midnight? If she corrupts the Sunwell, will we be able to even go near it for the raid, or will we need to use this tech again?

Gee it would be nice to have an army of ethereals, innit?

Id say the biggest problem with getting WoW to consoles is what Ion talked about in his recent interview with Max: game currently suffers a fallout of class/encounter designers arms race versus addon makers. Controllers just don't have enough buttons even for a basic rotation, you can't even do a rotation properly without addon/weakaura assistance and most of challenging encounters would be pure misery without bossmod assist.

I play with controller for nearly two years so not enough buttons is very wrong and old assumption. I have nearly 38 buttons mapped with one controller without issue. Just chceck YouTube/Twitch - there are people doing high m+ keys and heroic/mythic raids with gamepads.

Playing with controller is diffrent so i know for some people might be scary or unimaginable but its very easy and comfy to play even as tank / heal once you get used to it

Man I swear some people on this forum have bad reading comprehension. I started the whole convo by asking what Alliance city people think will have to go away to keep balance, because this is what Blizzard has been doing in the past, trying to keep the factions balanced.

I don't want this, especially considering I'm an Alliance player. I was just stating the facts and everyone ganged up on me lmao.

Dalaran used to be an Alliance city/state. Horde fought against Kirin Tor in vanilla, yet they were invited to come in Wotlk.. So i guess Alliance sacrificed Dalaran? Or what about Theramore? What city horde had to give up so they could nuke Theramore? Lets not pretend like there was always some kind of balance.

WoW still needs a lot of work before it might work on a console. Given the rate in which they are making WoW console ready, I think we're not getting it till 14.0 at the absolute possible soonest. Can you imagine they spend a significant amount of dev time on something that doesn't affect pc players at all?

Yeah I think if the addon purge is reasonably successful by the end of the Saga, maybe we will see an attempt at console.

[Neoplanet]

I don't really see a world where we get wow on a switch but on PS5 sure

My dream would being able to get game pass with blizzard bucks however, so I could use tokens to get game pass

i mean , with can run on a series s and steam deck, i think it can run a switch 2 , not maximun specs logically , but something with medium graphics and use of dlss for portable play?

Sorry, I had to stop my eye from twitching. How badly I want my space mummies.

Aside from that as a legitimate solution, I'm curious if this idea of void radiation carries over at all. I kind of... don't expect it to?

She does seem to have given us a weapon that can be used against her in the future, but I kind of expect Blizzard to do some "It only works on K'aresh" thing.

The reshii wraps convert any energy source into arcane. The Darkheart does the same but with the void.

I imagine we will see some light equivalent in Midnight (if one doesn't already exist).

It really saved Arcane mage and Rogue in general for me.

We use the Reshii wraps to turn the Dark Heart into the Bright Heart.

What can I say? It actually does make sense from a story perspective to have Ethereals. It's that simple.

i agree some things need to be done , some things like better controls need to do at the right moment,other things like some external downloads like addons who became necessity on pc can be resolved by the "addon funcition include in game" thing

[Lady Atia]

What happened to the "leavers penality system" in M+?

Because it defo is not life right now on retail?
