Midnight 12.X Patches & World Soul Saga Speculation Thread

I think he had them in the recent artbook.

Damn that's bad art

I think he had them in the recent artbook.

He literally doesn't have any in the attached image lol. Are you confusing the high side tips that he's always had, from his beard, with a mustache?

[Lahis]

Are people really freaking out about mustache? ^^

[Auburst]

Eyebrows, she has none. That affects facial expression. Also, you never could see her belly button. She wore a corset. She did show skin on the sides though.

The things we do for science:




When I see it I wish to speak in tongues.

Bunch of nice games will be on ONL that are already announced, i wonder if they will start the show with Midnight cinematic.

[Nymrohd]

Don't do this to me

Entire thing lasts 2 hours. Would definitely be nice if wow was early in it, probably not that interested in anything else being shown myself. We'll almost certainly be waiting a few more days for actual details tho, we get that during the panels

Facial hair can be grown. That is not a big deal. As for the eyebrows, CGI faces don't need gigantic silly eyebrows to emote for them. The ingame models need them because their facial animations are shit.

Sure, but Lor'themar's scar can't. And that looks very, very different from the one on that supposed promo poster. As does his blind eye.

If its early , we would still need to ONL to end to have the ganeplay trailer i think

So for me i prefer being in the middle

Regarding the possibly fake cinematic model renders.

Azshara can, and has with us as witness, appeared in game to people in an elf form while a naga. If she was appearing in Silvermoon to take over, she would appear in a form the elves would be more comfortable around to trick them. Just like how dragons do.

It's not hard to imagine, it's not lore breaking, it makes complete sense.

It's not confirmation it's real, but don't try dying on that hill.

Who’s to say it’s not a full transformation. It is an assumption that it is an illusion. We know they turned into naga but we don’t know if they can’t shapeshift or morph into their original appearance.

They’d be much scarier if they could though. We also know they very much prefer their naga forms, viewing them as superior - so it’s not like they will choose to hang out in elf form unless trying to manipulate others.

And even f it isn’t, they clearly would have enough magical mastery to take on an illusion of their former self. Azshara’s appearance as her original self confirms that she at least can take on her first form.

I am AMERICAN!

Speaking of, well, you, I wonder if "the fall of Night reveals her true face" will play out in Midnight.

Based on the schedule Midnight will be an hour in

Well, Naga transforming back into their old forms would solve the mount issue.

Xal should just transform into an eldritch monstrocity that is just all feet.

[D45]

Why people cant imagine naga on mounts?

[Wangming]

Xal is just Azshara from the future who traveled back into the past to undo the future that is Aku.

[Xilurm]

Are we not getting anything other than the cinematic today?

[Blue42]

Hm..those +leaks+ sound kinda boring.

Except Housing nothing rly intresting.

No new class(es)? No bigger group size? No new role = support?
No new indepth mechanics/stuff to do like rly dangerous outdoor zones where we can farm rly nice stuff in a grp?

Sad :/

[Nightely]

So I just wanted to share a wishlist while we are getting closer to the reveal of midnight. This is not a leak or spoiler or anything, just things I would love to see added to midnight.

- Make the story great again: I really liked K'aresh main campain and for the first time it felt like a real rpg. My main criticism is x.1 patches. Both in DF and TWW X.1 patches felt like a side quest not the continuation of the plot. If they really want to add zones like undermine and expand on races story that is not 100% connected to the main campain, they can do what 8.2 did. We had both the main campain in Nazjatar and a side story in Mechagon that felt good. Now that Midnight is the first expansion where Chris Metzen was envolved in it, I have a very high hope for the narrative.

- New interesting races like Naga, Ethereal and Oger. Move things like High Elf and Forest Trolls to be subraces instead. Imo they don't deserve the word 'new race'

- New borrowed power that is friendly to the casual players but keep grindy players like me interested in the game and add both gameplay and story like Artifact Weapons.

- A new void themed class. I feel like we already have atlesast 1 or 2 classes for each cosmic force except void that has Shadow Priest that doesn't cover the whole void power fantasy imo. I hope atleast we get the void themed third spec of the DH

- Give players more options in the story. Let us make villainous or gray choices, even ally with Xal'ataht but face the consequences at the end. I'm tired to be the Champion of Azeorth with every single of my characters and ally with the Light (This might not work in WoW after 20 years but we can still do some experiments)

- Raids especially the last one in the expansion need more bosses or add mini 2 3 bosses raid between the 8 bosses main raids.

- Leveling system overhaul. I like the idea that legion remix is doing with World tiers to make leveling more challanging and fun instead of feeling like a speedrun to get max level asap.
