Midnight 12.X Patches & World Soul Saga Speculation Thread

[Hitei]

Did you call the Avaloren leak fake?

Yes. Many. Many times.

And no one would listen to me.

[Wangming]

Yes. Many. Many times.

And no one would listen to me.

Well in 16 and a half hours we shall see if you can keep that spotless record of yours.

[bruxx]

Yes. Many. Many times.

Man, it was nuts how anyone would think that you would get not 1, but 4 stills of a very short feature video that all lacked any particularly unique new models, and that those 4 would sadly happen to be the 4 stills to leak

Wishful thinking because Tigron would have felt more unique than Earthen lol.

It's not spotless, I didn't think the SL ones were real. Half and half bolvar threw me and while I thought the bastion concept art was a very good, original piece of concept art I thought the low-res shadowlands logo wasn't detailed enough to be real.

To be honest I was more confused how everyone could not see that the triceratops picture was clearly just stuff stuck onto a background.

[Gloriandus]

Even the presentation of the models feels like WoW model viewer, the composition is too packed and unprofessional.

It's always in the fonts. Blizzard will likely still use Semplicita Pro as they did in the Dragonflight and TWW features trailers and in most of their promo materials, or what they've been using a lot -- and only recently -- in the Gamescom promo materials, being Tiller.

Gloriandus! Thank you for calling this out! As a designer, I always appreciate you identifying spots.

Also, a very interesting thing to extrapolate from this, the gradient being both light and void.

[Ersula]

It's just sloppy in a way that Blizzard is not. I can explain the composition issue to you further if you are interested, but that's just a small part of it.

Because one is showing off heritage armor, and the other isn't? Because classes don't have heritage armor?

[Mecheon]

Yes. Many. Many times.

And no one would listen to me.

Some of us were calling it out as well

It was the random earthen in the snow shot that did it for me. Man's hands were melted

Tigon are just an extended Vanilla-era joke based on an unused model. Unlike earthen, they don't exist

They were.

The tie in to the little portrait dude where the staff wasn't connected between the top of his hand and the bottom.

All races don't exist until they're made. Imagine if that kept us from getting Vulpera or Dracthyr?

[The-Shan]

There's always new gear in an expansion, and if you are doing a trailer you're showing off at Gamescom, you're not gonna use 10 year old gear, and you're going to want to present your game in the best light possible, so older assets that can't be avoided would be as 'pushed to the back' as possible.

[Ferlion]

I know people are after a new race, but I'm not sure we will get one. They generally don't hit two new races in a row. This would be 3 expansions with a new race in each one. Doesn't seem likely.

[KainneAbsolute]

I cant wait for the ghosts of all the old gods and the return of the Sha. In that way, I can have pandaren demon hunter with sha/void infused powers

Different discussion, we were talking about hopes of Tigron and the reply was "Tigron don't exist."

[Mecheon]

Tigon are an extended vanilla era joke based on a, at the time unused model, that didn't get used until Zul'gurub came along, but somehow found their way into every "Oh man this'd be a great playable race" list at the time.

If we were going to get cat people in the game, we'd get Saberon, the easy Worgen skeleton reuse cat people

[zelardo]

I mean. No one's going to point out the void elf DH is using a staff instead of glaives? lol

[Ferlion]

Was mentioned. Makes a certain amount of sense. If there IS a 3rd DH spec, it's a given weapon choice given we've seen DH using those before in Legion.

[milkmustache]

Oh! I'm also expecting a bit of a guild overhaul with Discord integration.
