Midnight 12.X Patches & World Soul Saga Speculation Thread

[Ersula]

Yeah, what's the Arcantina? Sounds like a Nightborne hangout where people have mana spritzers or something.

They did mention stuff about the Nightborne helping build a bridge to the Sunwell. What if Arcantina is some sort new joint Nightborne Blood Elf nation, made from artificial island.

Or perhaps while the Nightborne have been expanding the Isle of Queldanis, while the Silver Covenant are building some sort of landmass for Dalaran on the surrounding elf ruins.

I'm just happy they went with the original plan prior to the crash and burn at Gamescom (Online portion, that is) even if Holly being gone now is a bit odd but I hope everything's alright with her.

Again, I am content with this because it at least showcases they want a do-over. So lets' see how this looks, either way. I mean, the story situation isn't going to get better and I doubt any questions about the Saga authenticity will go past screening. But, I hope if there is any story questions they wink to the camera they got something that they feel confident in story-wise.


(They doing a Star Wars style Arcane Elvish themed Cantina with visitors and story stuff? Hmm.)

Man, people really overanalyse which people are doing events, huh?

[Dracullus]

Feb launch looking more and more likely, which makes me kinda sad considering it'll probably clash with TBC classics re-release

My bets for dates are:

December 9th - 11.2.7 (housing, TWW epilogue)

December 16th - TBC Pre-patch

January 16th - TBC rerelaunch (19th anniversary)

January 20th - Midnight pre-patch (12.0.1) - system changes like transmog 2.0, maybe first housing Endeavor starting with February

February 10th - Midnight pre-launch event (12.0.2 patch)

February 20th - Midnight early access

February 24th - official launch

First week of feb would be perfect as I have free there haha.

Otherwise, a friday early access would be good too.

Yeah, Friday release is only positive thing about paid early access. you need only 1, max 2 days off to nolife expac launch.

Also I hope schedule will be same, really want to play Midnight on midnight in EU xD.

It would make a lot of sense. Generally, the Nightborne and the Blood Elves could use more shared screen time if the latter is getting a lot of focus. And ultimately they both have the same story, just with Suramar being vastly better executed than Alien Jesus Wizard fixing their problem via holy windchime bacon, only for that not to be an immediate grounds for a peace/alliance for some reason.

The only advantage it has it that it means there isn't any time spent on "can't answer that right now" "no plans at the moment" etc.

Sometimes they STILL find a way to do that too.

Who's Arcane Tina and why's she visiting?

Clearly a Bloodthistle Den

So no Apex talents for a loooooooooong time.

It makes me a bit more optimistic for the class design aspect, I guess, but it's still weird how they are testable at the very end.

I guess they will be datamined soon enough.

I thought October was still weeks away, but it's next week. Where has this year gone ...

Nice that Metzen is coming to show how proper Midnight announcement should look like.

That's the thing that should be avoided. Letting them available for datamining but not making them playable is the best way to get people confused about what they do. I guess they should be doing the blogs.

I walked into Lowes on Friday and came face to face with their Christmas displays.

It wasn't even the last week of September at the time. God. This year's already going fast enough, don't need that on top of everything else.

This breakneck pace year can stop throwing crippling depression and unprecedented turmoil at any time.

But hey, Hades 2 full launch, SH f, Midnight alpha, that counts for something in the next week or so.

Jump space also just hit early access and it's pretty fun

I swear, it's hard to keep up with how much good is out there.

"GaMiNg iS RuInEd" yeah if you exclusively buy AAA annual franchises.

[Izalla]

That was nice of them to announce the actual day it begins, and to kick things off with a deep dive too! What a treat.
