Midnight 12.X Patches & World Soul Saga Speculation Thread

[Eeram]

Saga, saga, saga.

Hey, Marlamin you are Well veresed in this stuff but for some reason i cant post photos.
Are the Plants guys at 0:33 of the Gameplay reveal trailer are those the same guys from Wod?

I'm hoping we get Ethereals in 11.2.5 or 7 still, and I'll be significantly less !!!!

I'm starting to be less reactionary. I guess Harranir work a little better here alongside the Amani. But man, it just feels weird.

Not like I won'tr be there day one lol

From this, Zul'aman will probably tie into the C'thraxi buried underneath corrupting some to the void's service.

New Amani look spectacular, and the they seem to follow traditional darkspear skeletons so I hope eventually playable

Three Raids. One Legendary Season.
The raids in Midnight are bringing more variety, more spectacle, and more story than expansions past. So we’re kicking off Midnight with not one, not two, but three raids in Season One:

The Voidspire: A six-boss siege on Xal’atath’s stronghold, where Light and Void clash in spectacular fashion.
The Dreamrift: A surreal hunt through a realm of half-born nightmares and undreamt gods.
March on Quel’danas: A 2-boss raid with super story spoilers, so we’ll keep this one quiet… for now.
All three raids will be available in Story Mode, so everyone can experience the full narrative arc—whether you’re a Mythic raider or just here for the lore.

This has me hype. This reads as the whole raids in Story Mode? Without having to deal with LFR? Fantastic.

Was there any leaks that were true in the end?

[flan1337]

We were arguing if Quel'Thalas will be scaled to be full continent or MD will spill into Plaguelands/EK. Looks like neither. I wonder how Harranir will be connected to QT, would be weird to fly to Khaz Algar.

It says its under the roots of the world tree. So guessing portal sadly or maybe some random tunnel?

[kahedakylar]

well my guys, im still coping ethereals will be allied in 11.2.7

[Pheraz]

yay no high elves, I was worried that they give in and make that mistake but phew
just hope for more customizsation options for all races but especially BE / VE
also wins are VE DH and that new spec which looks a bit evoker to me
but haronir... I don't know.. after the diamond dwarfs a race a bit more hyping would be nice
I guess because its either a neutral race or a double new race for alliance horde and they didn't know what to give alliance alongside amani trolls they went for haronir
much more hyped than for TWW let's see what the next days bring

I told you guys from the start that the way they kept talking about it was that they were going to slightly bump the size and make it nicer and then have other zones.

[Nightshade711]

I want to know who Liadrin summoned.

My hopium:
The summoned the forces of the light & we finally get some lore on who/what the Guardian of Ancient Kings are.

Who they probably are:
Probably just the Arathi.

[micwini]

MY socks are still on. Where are all these crazy features they promised?
Still 2 OG zones. Sadge.
Still hard for blizzard to make feminine headshapes and have elf eyes not be human eyes.

I was expecting barebones and somehow we got less than that.

They don't seem super familiar to me, at least.

[Cheezits]

"and the Cradle of a long-lost goddess."

Hmm??

[Wangming]

For those who are disappointed after the features reveal...

Remember, the feature reveal for War Within only had the names and quick glimpses of the four zones, plus three new gameplay features (hero talents, warbands and delves) along with the general "new dungeons & raids" stuff.

It was only after Holly Longdale started to EXPLAIN what these meant, did we actually find out how integral and deep they were. Delves were just "bite sized" adventures as she said, which was so much less than the full experience. For the hero talents, I think she just mentioned how we could play as a farseer shaman or one other one, and we all know how detailed those became. And warbands... it wasn't until she explained we could share banks and transmogs and reputation where the crowd went wild.

In other words... give them time. I know this is different and we're all impatient for more detail, and in a perfect world we'd already have follow-up videos with details about all these updates and more. But that's not what they're doing this time. There are two in-depth panels later in the week that will serve that purpose.

While you have a point, besides the housing we already knew (and which was outsourced) we really did only got Prey system and the void DH spec.

Only tears leaking from my eyes.

I mean, it's 9 bosses.

I dislike this era of tiktok-sized videos but there's some neat zone b-roll here: https://youtu.be/WiBvDdtMXQ4

And hello Fungarians! I knew they were coming back hence the fungarian Kakapo on the hype train. That was the only thing I knew about the expansion.

Give me those Amani already!! D:

[Cheezits]

That image... so where is Harandar? Left of QT?

Haranir will be neutral race, i doubt they will add amani at all, they wouldn't fit alliance.

[FossilFree]

Yrel and the Lightbound Crusade?

[Khaza-R]

Damn, crazy how the race that had a player-model from the get-go got turned into a race, but the race that had new models made, that weren't player-compatible, wasn't turned into a race.

Because people were really in on harranir being part of Midnight, right?
