Midnight 12.X Patches & World Soul Saga Speculation Thread

A turkey mount?

yeah, pass for me. perhaps one of the cuttlery weapons will be decent. knife or fork that could work as a sword or trident

[Joshuaj]

I warned you. Now you have to wait for week 2-3 of beta before they test exteriors.

Idk if that includes sizes though. Nelf and Belf exteriors, yes, but that's it.

A turkey mount?

It's a nice compromise for people who wanted the TCG chicken.

I'm wondering if one of the other 2 turkeys will end up being a reward for the pilgrims event though, making next month's trading post .... full of joke gear and 2 recolours?

[Raetary]

God, I forgot that crap.

I think the revelation that Elune damned her chosen people because she forgot to send a Teams message clarifying the delivery address with The Winter Queen is orders of magnitude more damaging than stupid crap like funny wizard man having an arcane wheelchair.

Man, i don't think the disappointment ever hit me as hard as it did while watching that Ardenweald finale.

My face literally did the happy/shock meme.

Elune just failed to touch down on the deliverables. Basic bitch.

[Joshuaj]

Lmao wow, Stormwind looks so tiny and mid compared to Silvermoon

Also, seen folks complain about the architecture changes from TBC Silvermoon to Midnight Silvermoon, and I get it, but I think Midnight Silvermoon is meant to have a more Nightborne-inspired architecture style, which would explain why the Belf architecture is still there, but a lot of things have been rounded off and whatnot. Also seems like there's more floral and magical ordeals in the city, which makes me wonder if Blizzard wanted to give the city Dalaran-esc elements as well. If so, then cool!

Either way, I adore Midnight Silvermoon. Might be my favorite fantasy city in terms of looks.

Just show her already so we can get through the inevitable stroke and move on with our lives.

It's the Thanksgiving theme.

It's a glowy elf in some slightly cooler than usual armor, maybe.

Idc about Elune atm. Maybe she'll show this expac, maybe she won't. If she does, I'd like to see her connection to the Naaru this expac, and maybe even her connection to Eonar in TLT.

- - - Updated - - -

But, that's it. Just lemme fight the Void, and deal with the Light this expac. And if I gotta wait til a future expac to see the Arathi Empire's capital, then that's fine by me.

Now that Ulatek is more or less confirmed, I think Lordaeron and Gilneas are actually on the table again, considering the loading screen of Upper Thrandol Span EK that has Atal'Utek on it. We still don't know why that loading screen exists and now 2/3 patches are Upper Thrandol Span EK. Plus the catch-up stuff in Arathi Highlands.

Also the "Die in Lordaeron or Undercity" Delve string.

Wait... Dawnwell... Crimson Dawn? Well shit!

[Joshuaj]

If Midnight ends with Lordaeron/Gilneas getting a proper update, I'd be hyped asf ngl

- - - Updated - - -

Though, I'm gonna assume not.

[milkmustache]

I also had this thought! Though I prefaced it with saying I was putting on a restaurant supply warehouse's amount of tinfoil on that theory, but it's still a fringe possibility.

I still think Lordaeron & Undercity are still heavily in play. I think I'd go as far to say that I don't think Atal'Utek will be the only 12.1 zone and raid.

[SilverLion]

I don't think anyone ever claimed they were merging the factions on a technical level? And the post you originally quoted, they were clearly talking from a narrative sense.

I was asking about a technical level. I'm aware of the story reconciliation, that's been a thing off and on since WC3. People keep claiming the factions will merge on a technical level, so I asked for evidence. That's all.

It was Red Dawn...

and a Lordaeron Delve could be unrelated. Remember we got a dragonflight delve in TWW.

We might get a .5 or .7 patch that deals with something in the rest of the EK, like we had Sirene Isle or that Arathi Highlands quests.

but i wouldn't expect it as a major patch

[Cheezits]

I don't think Atal'Utek will be the only 12.1 zone and raid.

I think it's heavily possible there's another raid, but it may be the only zone if they lean heavily into it being a Troll unification story with all of them taking a big role including Vo'jin. Lots of troll armor etc. That would keep people on even if they are feeling the need for a new locale.

Stratholme being mentioned but cut from Arator's story (at launch) means it could be the other Raid/Megadungeon and the "other" part.

[Merryck]

Hell, Isle of Fangs could be 12.0.7 with a raid added to it in 12.1

Oh, good call. A double header of Stratholme and Atal'Utek could be a lot of fun, especially if we maybe expand a little further south into the Plaguelands (though I highly doubt it atm).

Not to re-Ethereal myself, but I do wonder if having an additional patch for the Amani increases the chances of them becoming playable.

I think it's worth noting that unless it was WIP, the portal we saw was for a dungeon.

I know but . . . why?
