Midnight 12.X Patches & World Soul Saga Speculation Thread

[Reive]

Yeah, even though I'm happy with what I've seen thus far, this is really not the way to show things. Blizzcon does it so much better, with live panels and such, too.

should have done the same thing they did with dragonflight

[vindicator782]

It's frustrating frankly - the information dissemination for midnight so far has been shockingly bad - it's honestly shambolic, why are we having to search for a way to watch the panel?

[blaatschaap]

Didn't they say the panels would definitely be livestreamed? Maybe I'm misremembering

No, they only said recordings on YouTube afterwards.

That was pre-recorded and uploaded on YouTube right?

I wonder how much is Blizz' own fault, or the fault of the whole Gamescom format.

Why couldn't they simply stream it instead of this dogshit arena thing no one cares about? why time it that way?

[Hearthfinder]

Cologne, Germany.

Well, duh.

But they've been advertising this as an event available to the public, given all these schedules that mix the ONL and gameplay trailers with dev panels.

This isn't the ONL. It's their "own" stage, their own stream. They're entirely in control of what's happening and what is streamed. Blizzard's ways are just mysterious.

Yeah and it is, they're just not streaming the dev panels for whatever reason and only posting it as a video.

Why couldn't they simply stream it instead of this dogshit arena thing no one cares about? why time it that way?

They're not even streaming the arena stuff either. It is just on break while the dev panel goes on. Really weird.

don't blame arena, right now pvpers are on a 1 hour break. the wow stream is rebroadcasting the housing event from yesterday

[shallelol]

Inbefore the panel will be uploaded as 10 different youtube shorts scattered among different regional accounts

[blaatschaap]

sharing the full VoDs of the developer panels from the gamescom 2025 show floor shortly after the conclusion of the panels

So interpreting that in the worst case, we get everything in one go after the last panel on the last gamescom day? Lame if it is that

[vindicator782]

Mod in the twitch chat of the warcraft channel said they aren't streaming it and it will be released as a vod after the show finishes

And then the stream switches to streamers talking

What a great event

Watch the Midnight Developer Panels

We’re pleased to announce that we will now be sharing the full VoDs of the developer panels from the gamescom 2025 show floor shortly after the conclusion of the panels.

I sleep. Oh well, another couple of hours at most maybe before they share it online. Shame though because by the time we see it, the news will have trickled out anyway.

[Joszef Kiprich]

Did they lose faith in it or something? Otherwise I really don't understand it why they wouldn't wanna livestream it.

[LorDC]

Okay, no live stream of the panel. Well, my opinion of Blizz PR department was low, but apparently it can go even lower.

[Samin]

They're not even streaming the arena stuff either. It is just on break while the dev panel goes on. Really weird.

I get why the dev signing might not be streamed, but I'm struggling to think of a reason how this may lead to the dev panel not being streamed.

[blaatschaap]

So, we conclude that all these wow content creators that are at the actual gamescom are forbidden from livestreaming that too? I mean, I would guess at least one of them would be streaming it otherwise

[Dvalin]

So, will they upload it at the end of the day or at the end of the panel?
