Midnight 12.X Patches & World Soul Saga Speculation Thread

[Alanar]

lol after Midnight expecting playable vrykul and/or a new class.

Ye was thinking about this the other day.

I love Vrykul and a lot of people talked about them for TLT, but ye this is absolutely fair. There is just no way, they will give us Vrykul or anything that takes the effort here. We will end up with 1 new hairstyle ala Vrykul braids for humans or what ever and a skin color.

Yup, the truth is painfull here..the Vrykul dream is already dead lol.

If you group reskin allied races, the horde has 4 distinct paladin races with earthen, while alliance only has 3, which is ironic given it's the alliance poster class.

Alliance desperately needs more paladins, like Kul Tiran, Night Elves and Worgen, to be able to be compared to horde shaman, where you have so many options, which you should as it's the "Horde Class".

Mate, you can't group dwarves and draeneis like that.
Or then we can group druids like 3 on Alliance side (KT, NE, Worgens) vs 2 Horde side (taurens and trolls)
Or drop Pandarens from Alliance shamans just to proof your point.

I'm talking about reskin races. Male trolls and Zanda trolls look completely different and are different model rigs, you can't group them.

Draenei and Lighforged could basically be the same race, like HM + Tauren and Maghar + Orcs and the 3 dwarf races.

And I'm only talking about Paladin here.

The whole argument is nonsense from the start anyway. Class parity for races serves no actual purpose.

Indeed, it’s parity just for the sake of it at this point.

This thread is meant to be about patches and release speculation, it’s just full of people bickering over lore.

I wonder what went wrong with the housing test, I wonder if it will delay this weeks alpha build as well?

I'm sure we will see that on December 2nd.

Regarding the sub race discussion

It's just amazing how you can be Blizzard with one of the best franchises, art, races and stories and come up with something like allied races, dwarf Wildhammer customisations, earthen, LF draeneis and regular, blood elves and void elves and what not

About Remix, I hope next expac we will have 2, after S2 and S3. Especially since only really big expansion left is BfA.

Very unlikely we get 2 during the same xpac, there's not enough time to fit them in.

That said, I'm curious if we get BfA or SL Remix.
MoP and Legion are universally liked so had a lot of hype around them but can't see it for any other xpac lol

People have awful taste. I would trade Legion remix this very second for SL where I can just chill and spam run Torghast to bronze/power farm.

I’ve not seen any lore bickering for a few pages at least. Last few pages have been bickering about parity regarding number of classes available per faction, which while pretty meaningless in the grand scheme does fit the bill of speculating which classes we might get for which race next. For what it’s worth, I think we’re going to get Nightborne Druids. Blood Elf Druids are definitely a possibility and could have some fun forms but it might be a little short sighted adding Druids to the most popular race in the game. Troll and Tauren population will drop pretty significantly.

Rest of discussion I’ve seen is in regards to The Last Titan, which for me personally, holds my interest a lot more than Midnight.

Back in the subject of which races might get which classes at some point I think the following should be opened up at some point - whether that happens in Midnight or TLT though I’m unsure:

Paladins - Night Elves, Kul Tirans, Undead
Druids - Dwarves, Blood Elves, Pandaren, Nightborne
Shaman - Humans, Night Elves
Demon Hunters - Orcs, Draenei, Nightborne

I agree. Legion is my favourite expansion but it isn’t doing it for me in Remix. Like yourself, I’d much rather have SL(which I didn’t enjoy whilst current), or failing that, BfA or DF.

Allied Races are fine but they should have never been a system for Subraces which absolutely should have and should still be a thing.

Allied Races fit the bill for the likes of Haranir, Zandalari, Vulpera, Nightborne and potentially Void Elves. Dark Irons, LF Draenei, HM Tauren, Mag’har, Mechagnomes should definitely be skins but incorporated into a subrace system where they still start in a different area to the core race, whilst having their own racials.

Try being here whenever there isn’t an expansion or major patch coming up. It’s just endless arguing over lore and a certain speculated class. It’s annoying but it at least keeps the thread alive and mostly interesting.

[Jaggler]

If there is stuff worth talking about, then people will talk about it, if there currently isn't a lot to talk about, then people will talk about lore etc. because that is the basis for what content could come next. Zul'Aman and the potential Isle of Fangs have already been talked about, soon, Harandar will be discussed.

[Valysar]

I'm sure we will see that on December 2nd.

It's gonna be a real mess at launch...

[SaintBigfoot]

I am really curious to learn more about Harandar and how it ties to the rift of aln and everything else.

It's likely having to do with server stability and proper implementation of the system. Remember, it's a stress test. Delays were bound to occur.

The Alpha is a totally different ordeal, as housing is already implemented, and there are FAR less people in it. So, a new build being this week should be likely. If nothing else, I expect to see housing exterior size upgrades either this next build or the one after that, especially since you can apparently talk to the house upgrade guy and have him "upgrade" your house, but nothing happens. So, at the very least, we know it's a W.I.P.

I would imagine so. People have only been waiting for this since, what, pre-Alpha?

Honestly this is the lore I am most waiting for.

[Garrac]

Ok, Im going to damage myself greatly, but I think I got figured out how amani would work class-wise.

Basically, theyd get all the multi-race classes, no novelties there.

Shaman? Doubting because we havent seen any amani shamns so far I think?

Druid forms:

Cat -> Lynx
Bear -> Bear
Chicken -> Akilzon eagle
Flying -> Dragonhawk
Swimming -> Capibara
Riding -> Pango?

Of course, this is all just fanfiquing. Im actually not expecting them as an allied race at all. Mostly since, aparently asking a triple A company that earns millions every week to cut the salary of an executive by 100 thousand one second to add more races or customisation options seems like asking too much.

What I actually want is amani sets. One per armour type. Please. I want to let my 12 troll toons to have more gears to cosplay so that I can get to all the tribes (alltho, the drakari seems like a lost battle). Please. I only ask that much. Give me 3 full mogs. Prety please???

They're trolls. No way trolls won't have shamans. Trolls only dropped shamanism when they started to worship Elune and grew extra fingers.
