Midnight 12.X Patches & World Soul Saga Speculation Thread

[Marlamin]

Could you, if you haven't already, list all unused updated assets please? If you have any links or anything that would be really interesting

I don't have a list anywhere, but these are the major ones (just world models, not smaller models) I know of off the top of my head that I believe are still unused (and probably the ones most people have seen):

These all share textures with eachother (as well as most Arathi BG human buildings):
- Human Guard/Sentinel Hill Tower (added in 8.0.1)
- Hearthstone Tavern (added in 8.2.5)
- Human Barn (added in 9.0.1)
- Human Farm/Cabin (added in 9.1.0)
- Human Two Story (added in 9.1.0)
- Goldshire Inn (added in 9.1.0)
- Wildhammer (?) Gryphon Roost (added in 10.0.0)
- "Frontier Inn" (added in 10.0.0)

These were also added in 10.0:
- Nightborne ship (might have been used?)
- Night Elf ship (shares some textures with warsong/darkshore update)

These are same of the same set/theme (possibly connected to the Frontier Inn):
- Human Bridge (added in 10.0.0)
- Human Tower (added in 10.0.0)
- Human Tower 2 (added in 10.0.0)
- Human Wall (added in 10.0.0)

These are also part of a set:
- Orc Wall Corner (added in 10.0.0)
- Orc Tower (added in 10.0.0)
- Orc Tower (added in 10.0.0)
- Orc wall stairs (added in 10.0.0)
- Orc wall (added in 10.0.0)
- Orc wall (added in 10.0.0)
- Orc wall w/ tower (added in 10.0.0)
- Orc Gate (added in 10.0.0)
- Orc Roost/Pen combo (added in 10.0.0)

And now added in 10.2:
- Night Elf wall (just spotted this one, maybe split from WSG?)
- Updated Human Icebreaker
- Updated Human Ship

So Amirdrassil "represents a rebirth of Azeroth itself"....

The S.S. World Revamp is ready to set sail for the promised land!

this kinda just sounds like the usual alexstrasza fluff dialogue that we've been getting this expansion, I'm not reading into this too much

You should though. What is life without excitement and hope?

lol good point, nvm this means that the tree is gonna arrive on azeroth and personally retexture EK and kalimdor signed and sent lets go

[Cheezits]

I wonder what's up with the ropes on some of the human construction? I hope it's not implying they are a part of a new hastily made settlement.

[Pheraz]

This one? It is used in only the Horde phase of the Darkshore warfront, for some reason.

As for older updated assets that still haven't been used, I think there is a version of the Sentinel Hill tower added in BfA that hasn't been used yet.

it is not only the dock, the whole area is full of high res night elf buildings in that phase, even with little details
made a video once

If you mean the Frontier Inn, I feel like that might be exactly the feel they were going for (also as the name implies, it being on the Frontier), but I also have a gut feeling it was part of an early Dragonflight settlement that eventually became the expedition camp considering it is from -very- early on in Dragonflight's development. We'll see if it ever gets used anywhere in the future.

Yup, but that wasn't the question I was answering.

Did that blood elf ship that got added in 10.0 ever get used?

[Marlamin]

Probably not, I don't recall that one specifically, I think I missed some other Blood Elf stuff too.

[Murlocos]

It's this one. I can't remember if filenames as they show in WoW Export are accurate or not, but some of the doodads added to the Dragonscale camps have 10be_bloodelf_restoffilenamegoeshere. I might fly over to some of them real quick just to see if they're all accounted for in-game.

[Cheezits]

If the revamp is true, I'm certain the Reliquary items are simply Quel'thalas props and items they are reusing.

Ah yeah, that one, don't think it has been used, no. As for those filenames, I named those so don't put too much faith in that being related to anything, I think that was largely reliquary stuff.

Gotcha. I popped over to the camps in Waking Shores and Azure Span, and as it turns out they're wholly separate assets. Mind you it's about 9 objects compared to the ~50 being used in the Reliquary kit. I'll post an album here if anyone wants to see them, though it's nothing too exciting. No idea when these got added.

IDK, a BLOOD ELF STREET LAMP (and an SMC flag) is pretty exciting to me.

Like... what else could this be used for?

Ah right, yeah, I probably named the things clearly reliquary as 10rq and things that look separate (e.g. those BE ones) "10be" although there is definitely some overlap between the two styles. The fences were used in one of the camps at least, so they're not by definition all unused.

Season 4 - Kinda Confirmed?

Maybe they will do some kind of fated season like SL or maybe it is 10.3 copium?

Between that mount and the Fyrakk AOTC mount (and several over things including the devs not able to talk about it) it's probably a Fated S4 without a new zone.

Maybe a mini-raid like the one from BFA?

[Cheezits]

Possible, with the probable Blue theming I think they'll use Vakthros for whatever the meat of the patch is (mini-raid? regular dungeon?)

Both the Reds and Blues have the biggest connection to the Titans so it makes sense to have them together at the end.
