Midnight 12.X Patches & World Soul Saga Speculation Thread

[Wangming]

There isn't a canonical monkey wild god yet to our knowledge unless The Monkey King is and is pretending otherwise.

Wouldn't put it past that cheeky motherfucker.
Of course the most Wukong thing would be for the Monkey King to just con his way into being a Wild God.

WoW Twitter posted a shortened version of the cinematic teaser today that I think has some new Xal'atath stills. You can barely see it but the reflection of her eye in this image almost looks like the Sunwell, perhaps?

Am I going crazy? Yes. This is what happens when my week-long break from work falls on the same week as Gamescom.

This is what happens to me when we're only one midnight away from seeing a beautified Quel'thalas.

You can see that in the original teaser too. It's a burning landscape.

Wouldn’t surprise me.
It would be in-character for him.

[Raetary]

I mean he is functionally immortal and extremely strong. So how is he different to an Ancient?

He isn't immortal though?
He's only alive today because he got frozen in jade in a fight with a mogu.

And his strength comes from his monk training and from wielding Fu Zan.

I just assumed that was either Silvermoon or Quel'danas.

If either of them are burning, I'll be pissed.

[Wangming]

Elves are humans with pointy ears.

What if humans are just elves with shorter ears?

[Ersula]

How did we go from Nightborne Space Bull to rabbit people from the moon?

[Wangming]

I just assumed that was either Silvermoon or Quel'danas.

If either of them are burning, I'll be pissed.

If either of them are not burning, I'll be pissed.

Welcome to my head every time I try to think about something.

Also Tokyo Treat has the September box ready for the Moon Viewing festival, and it has a rabbit and a moon on it.

Delusion, some may say.

There's always the chance we do a reverse Vale of Eternal Blossoms, and start with a fucked up zone that we slowly make liveable again.

[Catastrophy349]

I can't wait for Xal to turn to someone and say, "Burn it!"

[Cheezits]

How did we go from Nightborne Space Bull to rabbit people from the moon?

I'm going beyond Midnight and to future expansions. I think we have exhausted all Midnight speculations.

[Wangming]

How certain are we of that? Being born as just a hozen is not a barrier from becoming immortal.

Pretty sure Wukong became Immortal by mistaking an immortality potion for more booze when he was drunk, and drinking it.
At least that was one way he became immortal. He gained immortality from like three different sources, so he is now super duper, kindergarten rules triple immortal.

[Mecheon]

I'm just happy I'm not the only one who thought of Heian themed rabbitfolk

Naturally that's the Alliance race. The Horde race is moon raptor people.

[Wangming]

I can't wait for Xal to turn to someone and say, "Burn it!"

Oh dear. Did someone say hope?

[Hitei]

I just assumed that was either Silvermoon or Quel'danas.

I mean, something is very obviously burning.

Spoiler: 

You can see in the reflection that she's outdoors (there's clouds) and there seem to be fires and larger burning in the background, but maybe it's an army or something.

[Frook513]

You can see that in the original teaser too. It's a burning landscape.

It also might just be the way quel’thalas looks in a pre rendered cinematic, the way it looked in the TBC trailer with a very orange sunset reflecting on tue buildings

[Khaza-R]

I can't wait for Xal to turn to someone and say, "Burn it!"

She needs a sniveling sidekick for that though

I'm going beyond Midnight and to future expansions. I think we have exhausted all Midnight speculations.

Sure. We've exhausted talking about Northeron. But why has no mentioned the possibility of Southeron in Midnight?

[Wangming]

It's a banger idea. Although I'd prefer WoW to have Sengoku era instead. Heian was more court intrigue and that isn't really WoW's strong suit.
But if we could get Heian Kyo as a hub city I'm gonna subscribe for life.

Wait I'm on board now
