Midnight 12.X Patches & World Soul Saga Speculation Thread

[Santandame]

The fact they won't reveal that means it isn't the final major patch.

Or it does and they don’t want the grief from players for it being an underwhelming final patch.

Vyranoth being an ally remains incredibly lazy, if unsurprising. Bitch went from "vengeance is all that's left" to "uwu, omo, let's be friends" within one questline of Fyrakk torturing some tertiary dickhead to achieve the plan they were after for ages.

[Cheezits]

It means that they're playing it close to the chest. It could just as easily be that they don't want to confirm it's the last one and have people flip their shit.

It definitely sounds like they are hiding that information.

11.0 revealed as giant revamp... THEN they admit 10.2 is the last patch of DF. It's the only time it would be seen as a good thing, because it means players get the revamp faster.

As I have said before, the only thing that could possibly appease another lost major patch is a world revamp, and they can't announce that offhand in an interview for obvious reasons.

AotC mount is definitely a harsh blow to 10.3 though. Sure it could be a new thing, but feels weird.

Though then again, the Tyr questline still doesn't look like it will be resolved any time soon, so let's see.

[Super Dickmann]

It won't be the last major patch, I have seen it, maybe in a dream, maybe in my common sense. If it is I'll write pro-Calia fanfiction.

[Slowpoke is a Gamer]

Between that and them outright saying they won't tell about it being the last patch.....

It has to be a revamp next, or they would get dunked on so hard by the players.

They've been dunked for it for years, what's another 2 years?

Though honestly them breaking the emergency glass on the Emerald Dream now is unexpected. They're running out of places they can go short of giving up and pulling planets out of their ass (which is where WoW will inevitably reach).

[Makabreska]

The fact they won't reveal that means it isn't the final major patch.

Or maybe they don't want peeps to be raging while they revel 10.2.

[Cheezits]

The tree being the link to a revamp also makes sense. Tree is saved, blooms in Azeroth, first thing shown in the new expansion cinematic.

[Darkarath]

They did not confirm 6.2 being the last patch of WoD at the time if I remember correctly. There was a lot of speculation about Farahlon but we know what happened in the end.

Seriously if 10.2 is the last patch of DF, this expansion would go from being one of the top ones to one of the worst.

Hopefully something new will come out of the interviews, because, fuck, this is dissapointing.

Maybe the issues that they had with their developers were worse than we believed.

[Deatnshadow]

They added a longer questline for the Blue Dragonflight in 10.1.

IMO was one of the best questlines in WoW, Major Blue Flight characters got a nice sendoff: Senegos, Malygos, Sindragosa and her simulacrum from the Azure Span. Made me cry real man tears.

There will be another raid, and 10.3. Blizzard confirmed it in a Korean interview. https://www.inven.co.kr/webzine/news...88422&site=wow

People want the 'UwU Ice Queen Mommy Energy' memes

"Boomkins, we haven't forgotten about you!"
There it is.

I am so excited for 10.2 — holy shizzzzzz this is what retail needed tbh and *now* it just has to deliver and follow up with a nice 10.3 for DF to be my favorite expansion. Fight me!

6.2 was however the obvious endpoint for WoD. From was captured, Gul'dan had begun the endgame.
Farahlon didn't really make sense as a tacked on ending after.

6.2, and for that matter 9.2, both had in common that they were introduced after lengthy droughts, which made it more obvious it had to be the final patch unless the rest of the expansion suddenly went by twice as fast.

[Super Dickmann]

Seriously if 10.2 is the last patch of DF, this expansion would go from being one of the top ones to one of the worst.

This is hte main reason I doubt it. They've had some good press, but it's all hinging on a rapid release schedule and not repeating the primary mistakes of the worst expansions. Two patches is the sure sign of a failed expansion. They'd piss away all their conditional good will for no benefit, not even time-wise, as producing a half-assed last patch (lol Cataclysm) is easy and they managed to push out DF in a functional state a lot faster than expected.

"We will continue to release new raids and new seasons, and this is not the finale of the story. The release date for Guardians of Dreams has not yet been announced, but it will be available on PTR soon. We'll be able to hear more about the post-Dream Guardian update soon."

NOTHING in this says 10.3, just its not the finale of the story and Blizz will continue making new raids and seasons. Unless you think we're getting 10.4?

Perfectly said lmao. Shes pretty much IMMEDIATLY siding with her sworn enemies. The people who kept her in a cage for centuries. And ive actually seen some people who said its good Blizz "took their time" with showing Vyranoth slowly changing sides....it was ONE cinematic lol.

Translation for those of us using our phones and who can't be assed to copy into Google translate?

[Telogrus]

Druids can't use axes. So even if it came with Agility, only Survival hunters would benefit.

Blizz should just remove these stupid weapon restrictions. Druids were using Awak’mani in VoTI, which was technically a polearm but looked exactly like an axe

Though then again, the Tyr questline still doesn't look like it will be resolved any time soon, so let's see.

There's always the possibility that Tyr and the Titan Keepers becoming an overarching story threat along with Iridikron. In the sense they're out there and we know we're going to have to deal with them at some point; similar to Kil'jaden, Azshara, Deathwing etc back in the day.

If we do get a world revamp, there's some villains for us in several zones. Titanforged, keepers, earthen etc in zones such as Badlands, Un'goro, Loch Modan, Uldum etc.
