Midnight 12.X Patches & World Soul Saga Speculation Thread

[Merryck]

You know, these new specs might end up taking the place of a new class in TLT. Ideally we get both a new class (tinker) and an additional spec, as we did in Dragonflight.

[Jaggler]

Are there random npc's walking about?

yeah, quite a lot.

[whoisqnx]

apparently this month's gameinformer issue has some info about how Blizzard is updating Northrend for TLT, anyone know anything about that?

[Valysar]

Silvermoon is also gigantic and heavily populated (as of this build), which is amazing!

One of the rare cases when a WoW city feels like a city lmao

Only adults, child and pets were forgotten

I remember someone talking about that a few weeks ago too, but haven't seen it pop up yet.

There are a lot of adults, children, and pets in Silvermoon though???

I was the one who talked about it. We gotta wait til the issue releases though.

I want all the sod specs to be properly recreated in retail, even tank warlocks with their demon form.

Then they should add either tank or healer specs to all the remaining pure dps classes (meaning hunter).

Paladin could get a ranged spec that throws light spears like the new diablo 4 paladin.

I can't imagine a tank/healer hunter unless its a petless spec. Having a pet be involved in a tank/healer role seems like a doodoo move unless its an untargetable, 'set-and-forget' thing like a Scholar's faerie in XIV that smart heals and does aoe things when you cast pet CDs.

Could be that the pet is just there to deal damage, and nothing else. Thematically protecting you as you focus solely on healing.

Gameinformer's magazines usually seem to come out at the end of the month.

nah according to the description your pet delivers healing

"Delivering healing" gives me hope that it might be at the very least an automatic smart heal, but again the concern of a vulnerable pet being part of your healing ails me so xD

People got their copies like a week or 2 ago I believe so if there's some news it isn't huge enough to be shared, I guess?

Honestly, I really like the Healer Hunter with Alchemy/First Aid structure. Its' quite cool and unique and has always been on my mind as a Hunter since Vanilla when first encountering First Aid.

Obviously, I know some people find it sacrilegous but that's the one stands out for me. Either way, I am always happy to see experimentation in this regard.

For me Survival never managed to get a decent following (remains at or near the bottom of number of parses) and imo it would work well as a tank (plus even the spec name sounds like a tank). Then add a Ranger spec which is a more magical hunter (closer to old Survival and current Sentinel)

Ive wondered if Survival could function as a support-dps similar in concept to Witcher 3 in using traps, tools, and weapon coatings to weaken enemies/buff allies (would take a fair amount of imagination to apply weapon oils to 20+ people mid-fight using a single gcd but bear with me here); would return to Hunter roots with traps and some of the old Surv talents that buffed ur damage against specific enemy types (giants, humanoids, beasts, etc.).

They said the info was new, so we'll see.

I'll ask around a bit.

[Foreign Exchange Ztudent]

I was going to subscribe, but I let this simmer. Honestly the language is too flowery and romanticist that I just couldn't stomach reading it considering the status quo. Honestly, its' probably just "Northrend" not some sort of actually in depth addressing what they're doing to Northrend.

I still think tattoos like Alleria's and Rommath's should be Void and Blood Elf customizations. And also those light marks that Arathor has for Blood Elves, along with more light customizations for hair and skin.

Yup, I mean, great. Bonus points tho, if they create blood elf and void elf specific ones. Both have their own style as well.

Void elves, Seen some nice concept on void elf hair, void dripping from it. Very thematic. Purple/blue tattoos ofc, jewelry, grey/purples etc. New hairstyles ofc, with or without tentacles.

Blood elves something like; light scars or runic tattoos like the bc art. Jewelry /gold/greens etc and crown pieces seperated as their own option. New hairstyles as well. Rommath has a shirt that gives those tats, but sure they could be added, the more the better.

Did you know, blood elves had 6 new hairstyles in total. 3 for male and 3 for female across all expansions. Some new ones would be welcome.

if i have to guess its probably something along the lines that they are designing the revamped Northrend around how fast we fly now, etc. but still would love to see the actual issue. From what i remember during the TWW interviews before the expansion came out Maria Hamilton said they already have people working on Last Titan and that the artists are having a lot of fun with the concept arts for Northrend. That was a very long time ago by now, i wonder how far they are into the process.
