Midnight 12.X Patches & World Soul Saga Speculation Thread

[Vakir]

Antorus was pretty good. It's definitely strong but it's not on the same level as Naxx40 or Ulduar.

I'm just glad people aren't glazing Icecrown as the second coming anymore. You can smell the Wrathbabies from miles away.

I haven’t done any of the Timewalking raids. Aren’t they essentially bastardised versions of their previous selves? Certainly not in line with their old mythic versions?

There would definitely be an incentive to do it for players if it was an added difficulty for a remix if there were unique rewards tied to it. For clearing the entire raid you could be awarded an entirely new transmog set for your class as well as a unique mount themed for that raid or expansion the remix is set in. At the very least, a new tint of a previously used transmog set. Tie in some weapon appearances as well.

They still have their mechanics. You can brute force most of them, but some still got hands (there's one from the time anomaly boss, and Krosus' hand beams can kill), though as people get higher and higher ilevels it isn't a factor much.

I don't think expansion have to be super popular in nostalgialand to become Remix, it's just extension of timewalking. Not to mention Remix eliminate 2 major problems that always plagued wow: bad max level systems and content droughts.

Smaller expac obviously will last shorter, but if they manage to keep 6 months seasons whole expansion, Remix don't have to patch content drought anymore. If its content for 2-3 weeks, that's alright.

But I would also like to see something else - HC mode. You create new character, choose expansion - and he is locked there with only 1 way out like timerunners, world is hard and without level scalling - so you can come later if you are not skilled enough. This mode would be pernament and award all FOMO items from previous Remixes.

Eonar will be fine by the time Argus comes out IMO. More and more people will be ilvl 740 with over 100+% versatility so you'll only need a few people to stay back and defend Eonar when the ship starts charging

I meant that it takes a long time. Right now bosses die in less than 10 seconds, some less than 5.

Legion has taken the crown from Wrath for awhile now.

I got a feeling The Last Titan will have the best chance at taking the crown from Legion if it has 3 patches and a great lore since it's getting set up to be absolutely epic. Midnight seems to be off to a great start too but not sure if it'll have 3 major patches.

The best expansions needs a few key features like

3 major patches instead of 2
Cool features
Cool antagonist/lore

BFA could have been another expansion where a lot of people consider it the best had they done the content better instead of trying to shove 3 different major things in 1.

I've seen Guarm die in one global.

See I would almost not want it for a remix purely due to the way remix is designed. You don’t really get to experience the boss fights in remix, they fall over and die nearly instantly with no mechanics coming into play.

WoD’s greatest strength aside from its levelling content were the raid & dungeon encounters. I’d want to experience them properly again.

This is my biggest issue with remix. It’s just a boss rush but with no actual real combat involved. It’s no different to solo farming old raids. I’d like to see them work on iterating a difficulty where you can actually experience the dungeons and raids again as they were intended. Even if it was just a one time thing, where you had to clear it on a properly scaled mythic. You could have it reward a unique transmog for your class and a mount.

I think remix should lean even more into being diablo like, adding not just normal and heroic world tier but multiple scaling tiers for the entire game, throw in some legendries and some god rolls to chase and we'd really be cooking. Tbh i think the big thing legion remix is lacking in is meaningful content you can do with out a group, which also contributes to things being brain dead easy, how do you make content that could be done by relatively fresh max level characters and also 30 full geared 200+ vers players but with the way things are in lemix currently harder and harder content would be really lacking in rewards outside of just maxing vers sooner, honestly just fleshing out the paragon vers system into a more full paragon system could be the answer though. letting you get speed, leech, maybe even cool down rate and mastery/haste/crit along side primary stat and stam.

So, few hours left for the final Alpha week to (suposedly) start. Very excited to take a look into the future here.

However, I do hope tomorrow we get leaked some dedicated darkspear decor items... they are the 8th most played race... and i'ts not like they do have much... jsut give us the tiki-tiki masks...

No please, we don't need more "solo" stuff. WoW should always be a group game first.

no, WoW is all group stuff already(raid, m+, pvp, even delves are multiplayer if you want). we need more solo stuff

I'm just hoping with the final phase of alpha going live we get an announcement of a beta start date, with the War Within they announced it 6 days before it started, hoping we get an announcement this week to say it starts next week.

[Limayria]

have the world events been tested on alpha yet? I'd really like to see the voidstorm tower defense mode in action

that's the phase that's coming this week.

[Vakir]

"A few hours?" The build is tomorrow, no?

[COBRAstriker]

Aside from Invincible and Mimiron’s Head, what rewards are there in Wrath that are worth it for a remix? Essentially that’s what remix is. A fast paced event to easily and reliably get cosmetics from that expansion.

Black protodrake or other mounts which came from achievements and are no longer obtainable

[Vakir]

Black/Plagued Proto seems unlikely if they're treating the Chosen titles and Mage Tower as that sacred.

[Nymrohd]

"A few hours?" The build is tomorrow, no?

Should be, yeah.

[Enrif]

Not sure if i should start a new threat for that, but how would people feel if at the end of TLT, through defeating Aman'thul, the Titan that can control time, we create Murozond, due to his connection to the time magic of Aman'thul? And he shatters time, and the next expansions after the World Soul Saga is the Infinite Timeways Saga? A saga about recreating the timeline, but as always with time travel stories, some things don't return to how things are exactly. Heroes and Villains could return. Landscapes changed. New alliances forged.

And i just realized, that Heartstone does that somewhat in their latest expansion...

[Count Zero]

Black/Plagued Proto seems unlikely if they're treating the Chosen titles and Mage Tower as that sacred.

They're a bit random with which time-limited rewards they bring back.

[Joshuaj]

Hopefully housing gets reenabled tomorrow lmao
