Midnight 12.X Patches & World Soul Saga Speculation Thread

[whoisqnx]

Idk, I just don't think the Red Dawn are going to be relevant in this saga, just like the Arathi

I am not so sure. I feel like the Arathi with their Light Emperor deserve their own expansion after the Worldsoul Saga but the Red Dawn could be dealt with in the form of one patch or a Mega Dungeon or something. They dont seem to be that big, just an annoyance.

[Makorus]

Dragon Isles, yeah

The draenei's development was just their heritage armor quest. If we're counting that then we'd have to count every other heritage armor questline

I mean, most of the Heritage quests don't really actively develop the races.

The Draenei, Troll, and Orc ones are the only ones who kind of put an effort into that

[Wyrt]

People actually want more Red Dawn? I had more than enough of them in that awful quest line.

It's not a matter of want, they're clearly going to be back. They're obviously just dungeon filler so we'll get to kill some humans to prevent it from being all trolls, void, and undead we fight.

Having a proper Stratholme would be neat. Though they will probably make it a dungeon (or raid) if it is going to be present in the xpac.

[Joszef Kiprich]

They could just do a Red Dawn dungeon where they have taken Stratholme. Connect Deatholme and Stratholme, make Deatholme the entrance.

I enjoyed immensely being able to quest again in the old world.

IMO the motives of the Red Daw are perfectly understandable. It would feel unreal if something like them didn't become a thing sooner or later.

Marran Trollbane doesn't have any charisma, though. It's a very weak character. Hope that there is someone moving the strings in the shadows that could allow the Red Dawn to become a cool threat.

IMO they have a lot of potential but they will probably end up being a side threat that we erradicate in a dungeon.

Thanks.

But I think it's pretty interesting that the three races who recently got a lot of lore development and promises that a new/restored city or kingdom was coming are the ones I mentioned.

The Draenei are building a new home, and they were super relevant last time we visited Quel'Thalas. And obviously Velen is the guy for Light vs. Void.

The Worgen had help from the Forsaken to reclaim Gilneas so we're due for a new take on that place.

The Undead already have Undercity back but there's obviously been a lot of rumblings in terms of how it will develop now that Sylvanas is gone, the plague is lifted, and Calia is back.

The Kirin Tor are divided but some will likely want to build something new from the ruins of old Dalaran.

The Arathi are likely to want to reclaim former glory and put the human tribes back in the fold.

The Red Dawn are obviously scheming, we've got a Dwarven Trading Post coming up and we recently had a Forsaken one.

There's a ton of unused buildings and stuff for human regions.

Red Dawn is just Scarlet Cruade with a different but laughably similar name.
An incredibly boring faction.

The whiplash of going from "Oh yeah, Xalatath is just kinda nuking Silvermoon" to "Uh, these angry farmers are trying to burn down a house" would be mental.

[KyleEverett]

We also have those brand new human peasant outfits.

I mean just like the an expansion that had us kill a Goblin who sneakily bought out a Meadery or fought some humans that went crazy and started doing necromancy? Or the dungeon where it was goblins just trying to steal power from an electrical dam?

Dungeons are frequently side stories.

Doesn't really mean anything. It might be trading post related or simply a nice touch for Pilgrim's bounty.

9000% they're going to be manipulated by a dreadlord and will be a mean to bring back Denathrius

I've occasionally seen speculation about Paladins getting more race options, and I've been thinking-

Does anyone else think that the current Paladin set's LFR colors feel like they're blatantly designed for Night Elves? Just like the Normal version obviously uses Stormwind colors and the Heroic one looks like a Blood Knight?



Have there been any other past sets that look so much like they're meant for a race that can't use them? I can't think of any myself, and it feels like a weird choice to me. Maybe Night Elf Paladins- or even Paladins of all races- will finally happen soon? We'll be revisiting one of the most notable Night Elf Paladin NPCs in Legion Remix soon, too.


If we hadn't already gotten the leaked preorder info, I'd probably be speculating that they'd add the remaining Paladin races immediately as a preorder bonus on Tuesday, much like the DK races in Shadowlands... but a long early access period like that would have probably been listed in the bonuses. I could still see it happening as a normal patch or expansion feature though.

This is actually sick though.

[Dnusha]

It's site policy not to delete any leak, even (especially?) if someone knows the real shit from funposting.

Where is the post these two guys are quoting then? (1) (2). The link to that post leads to a page, but this is a post link. That post and user are gone. Where is the post 54739584?

[Pyrophax]

I think now its a time for proper leak.
I'd like to take in mind that preparations for GC is underway so be ready. Most hilarious and 1 true leak will come in that 2 days.

[Ashworth]

My Bingo:

Lore-wise:
- Alleria gets into a convenience alliance with N'zoth and/or Azshara to destroy Xal'atath
- An Arthas-like character appears in the Arathi Empire
- Avaloren was one of the places the Highborne exiles after the War of the Ancients visited before settling in Quel'thalas, and the place where the Arathi Empire is located

Gameplay wise:

- Delves are rebranded as adventure mode or similar, progression is also outside instanced content
- New Hero Talents that are shared between classes rather than specializations between the same class

It can just be deleted by the person who posted it.

Either way, the riddle answer is the Satyr. Though I'd still argue that the Demon Hunter class already fills that force for elves.

They'd be an odd choice for a new race. I'd sooner play an updated withered/wretched or something.

[Nymrohd]

She seems to know what's going on, as she speaks with the Forsaken player twice now in ghost form.

Honestly that is explained by literal brain rot.

[KyleEverett]

- New Hero Talents that are shared between classes rather than specializations between the same class

Blizzard can barely balance hero talents for the same class, they wouldn't be interesting at all cross class. It'd be Shadowlands Soulbinds at best.

[Dnusha]

the riddle answer is the Satyr.

I remember a riddle with Satyr in some other "we are waiting for a new expansion" thread in previous years. (or something)

[Pyrophax]

I wish we had more sassy characters as Xal or Azshara. As was Nathanos back in a day.

Not another Faerin or Anduin pre-SL. Not another Thrall or Baine.
Sharp, clever, sassy character who gives no shit about anything.
