Midnight 12.X Patches & World Soul Saga Speculation Thread

How will you all react if that Azshara model is real?

[Enrif]

If Blizzard does something as stupid as making Azshara into a basic night elf no one would recognize then go ahead and gloat. I'm not sure what you'll have won, because we all lose if Blizzard is that dumb.

If that decision gives us playable naga that work like worgen, i take that Azshara in a heartbeat. Don't clump everyone into your own preferences

[Aeula]

Leaks were more fun before AI became widespread. Now it's just too hard to tell what's real and what's bullshit.

[ImTheMizAwesome]

Gotta listen to this iconic wow song before new expansion reveal

Our most convincing leak isn't AI though. That much hasn't changed.

Disappointment for me. If they had to use an elf model, I wish they stuck to her Queen form; white corset dress, gladiator sandal, golden bracelets, flowing hair and radiant, clear skin. And the expression is just lacking; Azshara always looks dramatic

That's an interesting idea. I mean they gave us the Dracthyr that have an elf visage, but otherwise have like... 2 fucking armor pieces showing. Lol.

Naga form swim speed 300%!

But why change her into a worse form than the one she had as a queen since forever?

I also do not like aging Turalyon (why is he aging, Lightforging has kept him looking middle aged for centuries? Unless something happens in the novel to explain it) and removing all the symbols on Bob that tie him to the regency of the Sunstrider throne.

Voidstorm

Reshanor's presence manifests a voidstorm, causing [Null Ruptures] and [Errant Zaps] to hit the ground periodically.

Voidstorm Obsidian

Beautiful, but unstable.

Voidstorm Bardiche

The energies of Telogrus have permeated deep into this once blessed blade of Silvermoon.

Rift Warden

The Voidstorm is growing. It might even consume the big island entirely.

Blizzard Teasers

Shadows descend as the Voidstorm knocks at your doorstep. Rise, rally, and take up arms before the light fades!

The shadows descend and Azeroth stands on the brink of its darkest hour. As The Voidstorm knocks on your doorstep, will you stand alone? Or will you rally together and take up arms?

[Enrif]

Oh you can bet i will. people, who believe those shots are real, are still very skeptical (including me). Some people here are very aggressive tho, calling others to shut up about it and saying words like "impossible to be real, definitely AI". It's going to be fun today for sure.

yeah, i feel that. This community, has some were strong biases (*cough* Northern EK revampers *cough*), and if someone brings up another idea, those with these strong biases dismiss it easily for their own daydreaming wishes.

For me, the CGI leak is the most real leak we had in this season. No written leak pulled anything off that is close to that in terms of legitimacy. If it is wrong, props to the person who made it, like the person who did the Avaloren leaks before TWW

shrug and move one

[Ibkee]

How will you all react if that Azshara model is real?

Bewildered seeing as her permanent, irreversible Naga transformation also happens to be the most beautiful she's ever looked (according to her) and it's not in her character to be less beautiful for any reason.

[Enrif]

But why change her into a worse form than the one she had as a queen since forever?

because it was forever ago? 10k years cursed to be a fish could leave some *gasp* marks?!?

I hope they go more worgen (armor transmog), and less dracthyr. Perhaps no visibel transmog on the tail, but that we could live without.

[Wyrt]

How will you all react if that Azshara model is real?

I'd just be really confused. If they're bringing back Azshara they would be doing it with the intention of hyping people up. Why would they do it in a form that's completely unrecognizable?

They would want "Awesome, Azshara's back!" not "Who the fuck is that?"

Would make no sense to me, but Blizzard doesn't always make sense.

[Nymrohd]

because it was forever ago? 10k years cursed to be a fish could leave some *gasp* marks?!?.

Lol dude, I am talking about the design decision. Let's be frank, if I showed you that image, you would not be able to tell for sure that it was Azshara. I mean you'd guess cause there aren't that many night elf casters of import in the lore but would you be certain?

This is Azshara

If it was a dramatic change, sure it would have impact. But what is dramatic about that basic mog?

[Harbour]

This is the one. Just right amount if details, and taking from Legion, BFA and SL.
Arathor getting kidnapped by Xalatath (Sylvanas and Anduin) is so shameless that I believe it.

she has the same dress, just in black, she used to have? It is easy to recognize her, if you know how she looked as an elf

At least it isn't Anduin again. Dude has two specs. Getting kidnapped and whining.

Funny thing is, this leak talks about the story, but is vague on features besides the whole tribes thing. So mario kart leak can still be true.

[Wyrt]

Are you blind?

Next you're going to tell me the Lor'themar in that picture is wearing the same armor as he does in game.

All hell will break loose if this happens lol. Corrupted Ashbringers, Scarab Lord, a million High Warlords/Grand Marshals etc.

Yeah and we would need fresh start realms for anyone who got scammed by Blizzard lol.
