Midnight 12.X Patches & World Soul Saga Speculation Thread

[Nymrohd]

It's a convention that they have agreed upon. It's immaterial to you or me to debate the merits of it.
It's pretty entitled and pedantic to complain about a company using their own national standards and conventions in their communication. But to each their own.

More importantly, they DID post the date differently in their US and their Eu posts, each with its own standard.

Right, I hadn't seen that, thanks for pointing it out.
So there's literally nothing to complain about.

[Dracullus]

Pretty weak way to announce the released date.

Anyway, at least that is out of the way. Now give me the roadmap.

Only things we can learn from roadmap (beside confirmation they keep DF patch system) are some small bits from minor patches.

[Nymrohd]

The crunch to get this ready by March will be crazy. Some people are staying at work for Christmas this year.

Well we would learn e.g. if there is a dungeon or megadungeon with 12.05/0.7/1.0. Possibly if we get a zone or zone(s) for any of them as well.

I know. It is an american company.
However, they released a trailer for an international product. I'd say its more entitled for a company to use a date format they as the only country in the world use. Kind of elitist if im honest.

[Raetary]

Who cares what format they use?
The written out date is literally in the video description.

Don't forget the mysterious things they can put on like pirate flag in DF or housing icon/green fade at the end for legion remix.

Dude you are embarassing yourself. They did separate posts per region. I am sure the Chinese region will be 2026.3.X if someone can find it.

We know Ula'tek (and they made it very obvious, even before the raid was confirmed) but they could hint at a megadungeon or future location. Other than that I don't see the point in getting hyped for the roadmap.

Well hype is a crazy word to use but it would definitely give us at least an item or two to fuel speculation.

Well, at least the Darkwell plan wasn't dumb and the utilization of the Dark Naaru absorption which somehow everyone forgot about prior to Voidspire journal is at least a valueable showcase that they can keep up with everything in a way.

Either way, I still don't believe the outcome will be different this time around either. But, at least they didn't just make her slurp and fuck off and instead at least used the Darkwell for the purpose of transportation.

Still it is kind of funny that after all this we just go "Well, anyone wanna kill some trolls?"

Its a bit dumb though, that if her goal was to get to the world core, she destroyed the coreway in the TWW intro with the nerubians, which she could have used for the exact same purpose.

[Foreign Exchange Ztudent]

The Roadmap is always fun honestly, haven't let me down yet and I am always excited to see it when it drops.

Its a bit dumb though, that if her goal was to get to the world core, she destroyed the coreway in the TWW intro with the nerubians, which she could have used for the exact same purpose.

I just love the fact they are a character with no characterization and now is the cusp of their ultimate goals and we still have not a fuck all idea about anything regarding the character. But again, this is to be expected since they didn't have a Post-Zovaal meeting to not make the same fucking mistakes again. At least, their actions at the Worldcore may be the signal for the Pantheons return in The Last Titan. (Other than the whole theorized Mortal -> Trauma -> Remove everyone -> No trauma interpretation of ther character)

At least whatever actions she takes will take place seemingly based on TLTs synopsis, so.

[Vakir]

Yeah but in that case, does it matter if you unlock them a few days later?

I don't think anything really matters playing a few days early, frankly, given the amount of time already given before season unlock and a lack of an extra week or anything like that.

But it's also not my place to tell people how to spend their time. It's a valid question if they unlock.

They can probably yadda-yadda some bullshit in about how the Coreway had too many Titan/Earthen failsafes and another plan was required, like a virus tricking the body into slipping by its defenses.

[Cheezits]

I'm assuming the Darkwell Slurp is something only Xal and her ghosts can do, while we need a physical route to the core (Coreway). She was probably going to use corrupted roots to poison the Worldsoul, but now that she got Dimensius she's powerful enough to use the Sunwell as a backdoor straight to the soul.

I wonder how many Vanguard members are going to stick around versus fucking off to go be miserable/crazy somewhere else.

[Foreign Exchange Ztudent]

Well slurp theory probably ended now? I mean I guess if she still needs the Sword they could do some kerfuffling considering how all over the place this plot is.

It doesn't seem like she needs any more power to do what she needs to do at the Worldcore to trigger the Pantheons return? Unless this is just to have guards for her next steps at the Worldcore.

Then why was it important to go to Khaz Algar in the first place? It was all very dumb unless TWW Earthen have a key role to save the day in TLT

It was over when the Dark Heart clearly reached maximum capacity from slurping Dimensius.

It's not a theory, the VO lines say Xal and the ghosts went into the well and underground.

Oh, you mean POWER slurping... yeah, as the poster above said, Dimensius finished it.

[Merryck]

Also, tf was Xal'atath's plan before the Dark Heart was broken, repaired, and then stolen by the Ethereals? Was she always planning on luring us to K'aresh to take care of Dimensius?

We don't know, but she acted surprised about the Ethereals when she was with Gallywix- and had no reason to lie to him. So it probably wasn't her plan. More than likely she was going to keep flitting around and putting stuff in the Dark Heart before hitting the Sunwell.
