Midnight 12.X Patches & World Soul Saga Speculation Thread

[Nymrohd]

I found Blizzard's excitement over the Zaralek loading screen so bizarre, but if they were working in tandem on tech for a more vertical expansion, it finally makes perfect sense. IMO, that whole thing is very telling. I am extremely confident in this whole underground idea leak.

You could do more than go vertical. The ability to load screens that way could even work horizontally to join the different continents. Imagine this

They add the Channel Islands from Island Expeditions to the EK map. Then as you fly west from the channel isles, you see Kul Tiras in the skybox (it's not actually there on the same map, just a skybox illusion). If you keep flying west you actually switch maps and end up in the Kul'tiras map. They could add Havenswood to the EK map west of Silverpine and let you fly from Havenswood to Jorundall, added east of Stormheim in the Broken Isles. Place Skittering Hollow as a step between Northern Kalimdor and Northrend. Pandaria and Zandalar through Snowblossom Village. Heck when we eventually get Tel'Abim and Kezan imagine being able to fly from Gadzetan to Tel'abim in this way and then Kezan and from Kezan to Pandaria. Heck you should be able to fly from Quel'thalas to Dragon Isles and from Dragon Isles to Northrend. Connect the entire world just by using Island Expedition maps and skybox illusions for transitions.

How many weeks before 2019 blizzcon, the virtual ticket info and rewards were revealed?

EDIT: nvm, it was october 1, so i guess it might be the same this year.

Players: We want to be dreadlords!
Blizzard: We have dreadlords at home
Dreadlords at home:

They can actually become playable now that we have winged Dracthyr.

The icon for the aquarium back that's possibly from Blizzcon. It's got a naga statue on it, which isn't too big of a surprise since we knew Nagas and Azshara would be returning.

I hope we get playable Naga...

The new prop could be for the Vashjir part of world revamp

It's a cloak item so it's gonna be a backpack like the murloc babies.

I think lo'gosh and sylvanas armor will be part of virtual ticket and this naga backpack might be a part of next expansion goodies with epic editions.

Still it might be something that was created with nazjatar in mind but was never added then and now it's easier to just put it on TP and have people go at it.

The armor sets seem a bit too random to be Blizzcon rewards to me. If an armor set is given then I would put more stock in the Tanaris Wasteland set.

Better to hope for another WotLK or MoP if you want fanservice. Or has the current fanbase really become so...disillusioned that mediocrity is all they can hope for anymore?

Better keep expectations relatively low so th the dissapointment isn't as big when It comes.

A kid with a moustache? And a fully grown model? That guy looks like a barista more than he looks like a Night elf mage.

He is like 18.

That's a kid for normal real life humans, much more for an elf with hundred time the lifespan.

Tbh, I hope the Sylvanas, Logosh and Dreadlord sets are the first wave of things reacting to the feedback that we want (full) transmog that match lore characters, and all are part of the trading post. I don't want this to be an one and done promotion, I want things like Jaina's armour, the doomarmour or even a dreadlord tint that matches Kin'tessa's. Just let me be the cosplay girl I always wanted to be haha.

Yeah, for me NPC's always have some of the coolest armor pieces and the way they are done, textures, style used look awesome(for me like the fur texture made in Grommash armor, it looks natural and thick unlike most other "fur" models they used on armors).

Cosplay is popular IRL and in games, especially in mmos plus other big mmos out there have no problem with players having access to NPC set transmogs, so maybe at least blizzard will be more open now to at least giving NPC sets that are no longer used by them or npc's that died in the story.

People could make theater plays on RP realms. Imagine the possibilities!

Is it true that the next Blizzcon is free to watch? No virtual ticket required.

[Raetary]

Is it true that the next Blizzcon is free to watch? No virtual ticket required.

Yes, the stream is free.

The 'ticket' is just for the goodies this time around.

[Valysar]

According to the website yes, the virtal ticket is just use for goodies.

Btw the new mole model at the Brewfest looks sick !

That's a toddler.
I like Blizzard's attempt at saving costs by giving a mature race model to teenagers. Like Thrall's son - they literally just scaled down in size a fully grown orc with wrinkles, muscles and all...

[Raetary]

He's born after the battle for hyjal, so he's 19.

[Grazrug]

Nice. Can't wait for it. If protocol stays the same then we will get a fresh cinematic trailer for the next expansion.
