Midnight 12.X Patches & World Soul Saga Speculation Thread

[ro9ue]

I would wait for the deep dive before assuming the worst. Lower the pitch fork.

Lowered, but still in hand.

Prey sort of sounds like the Shadows of Mordor Nemesis-lite system. Maybe. Don't want to oversell it, I have no more room for disappointment.

[Super Dickmann]

I thought that's what we were getting in that moment, and I knew it still wasn't going to be that dogshit 2D AI still.

Actually, the way it was cut, I don't think we ever confirmed who the hell it even was. Might be a pre-event thing.

It's the weakest point of the cinematic, which is otherwise better than the last two, as the cavalry are literal faceless, nameless goons.

Imagine if it were Turalyon touching Liadrin's shoulder in the CGI cinematic, would've been cool.

Thats who I thought it was as well

Surely this short points to KT paladins, or am I just lost in the cope?

[Count Zero]

I assumed the Sunwell/Light had summoned the Arathi (or that the Arathi had opened a portal to the Sunwell), but it looks like an unknown group so far?

[Pheraz]

Mate, you should really find a source. Blood Elves ARE High Elves. Alliance High Elves are political organization, not different race. Heck, even Void Elves are High Elves.

exactly. blizzard even had a video when the HE customisations came out for VE like "you won"
blizz is just bad with marketing this. all my VEs look exactly like HEs. it is really not a big deal, take 4 clicks
i saw a new BE hair cut in the new trailer, I hope VEs also get some love in the hait style category

[Nymrohd]

We will absolutely get overzealous Light as a villain theme during the expac.

[FossilFree]

It seems like QT is being updated and put on the world map, rather than some weird pocket dimension. So that's good at least.

Mate, you should really find a source. Blood Elves ARE High Elves. Alliance High Elves are political organization, not different race. Heck, even Void Elves are High Elves.

Fully aware of all these points. But you're being disingeneous in your framing.

Blood Elves (political faction), are High Elves (Ethnicity).
Blood Elves (political faction), are not High Elves (political faction).
Void Elves (altered physicality/political faction), are High Elves (Ethnicity) and Blood Elves (political faction).
High Elves (political faction and ethnicity), are not Blood Elves (political faction) or Void Elves (altered physicality/political faction).

Ignoring the subtext and focusing on the nouns alone is dishonest, but you know this. Hope this helps.

I thought the Enshrouded leak was real, and I kinda forgot the general gist of it except Turalyon would die, so I was ready for that to be him and he was going to die.

[Khaza-R]

I do think people need to realize that part of having evergreen features means you're going to have less new features each expansion. Its not like Legion to BfA to SL were they can introduce a few new systems because they completely abandoned the ones from the last expansion.

Anyway the Prey system looks like the most exciting thing they announced. I'll reserve judgement until I see more but could be very promising if they use the tactical AI from BfA in a meaningful way.

[Schwert]

So glad Blizzard isn't listening to the High Elf whiners. Absolutely delusional people at this point.

Expansion looks solid so far.
Would have swapped the bootleg Troll/Night Elf hybrid mary sue race for Ethereals or something, but whatever. I'll probably make a shaman.

[Santandame]

Well I suppose the features reveal heavily implies we’re getting a condensed Northrend with some added on original zones then? Or maybe the concept picture leaked was real?

[Pyrophax]

Turalion is here, that was obvious. Next to him Arathor?
Rommath and Lor'Themar too, good. No Halduron - I think its RIP for him.

[Lahis]

They didnt mention a level cap increase either. I don't know if they've ever had a reveal that didn't increase the level cap.

No reveal since the level squish has mentioned level cap increase:

[Nymrohd]

It seems like QT is being updated and put on the world map, rather than some weird pocket dimension. So that's good at least.

Also, not particularly larger. The two existing zones will become one new bigger zone, Zul'aman added to the side.

[Civciv]

Turalion is here, that was obvious. Next to him Arathor?
Rommath and Lor'Themar too, good. No Halduron - I think its RIP for him.

AAAAAAAAAA New Arathor model and daddy Turalyon!!! I'm so hyped now for Midnight.

[Reive]

So glad Blizzard isn't listening to the High Elf whiners. Absolutely delusional people at this point.

yeah bro bat elves look absolutely amazing

[Wyrt]

I assumed the Sunwell/Light had summoned the Arathi (or that the Arathi had opened a portal to the Sunwell), but it looks like an unknown group so far?

They don't have Arathi colors or symbols. They seem to be just as generic human paladins as they could put in there.

[Foreign Exchange Ztudent]

I'm chilling until we get embargoed interviews and gone through the panels. I don't feel anything after this but I am still excited for Housing and hanging out with players in Neighborhoods.

Obviously, if I see them try to not have a single Story Interview again this time around like with The War Within I'm definitely going to assume the worst going forward.
