The War Within 11.X Patches & World Soul Saga Speculation Thread

[Nymrohd]

Rootlands in Midnight was not on my bingo list.

Not in mine either. I thought it would be in EK map, I thought it would be at most slightly scaled up but I also thought they'd get three zones out of it, not just two. Which is GOOD, it means more zones. But the Voidstorm zone seems like K'aresh 2.0 and we are already in K'aresh now . . .

Nothing about this is exciting outside Housing which we knew for months now.

[Samin]

Yeah, none of the leaks called Rootlands or that the Voidstorm would be a zone.

[bagina]

Not crazy about Liadrin's new look.

[Blue42]

It's best to turn off chat during livestreams tbh

I agree pal. Its just so sad to read (

“Knock your socks off”

Shadowlands feature trailer had more going for it.

[Haruhime]

Midnight seems kinda light in features?

Expected a bit more if I'm honest here.

[Wyrt]

Where was Azshara? All you people that promised Azshara was totally legit and not AI trash.

[Capivara]

w8 so, haranir allied race and NO HELFS, is that it?

⦁ RETURN TO FABLED LANDS AND EXPLORE NEW ONES –Battle your way to a new level cap of 90 as you reexplore the elegance of a fully rebuilt Eversong Woods and the new hub in Silvermoon City; see the expanded forests never before traveled in Zul’Aman; delve back into the depths of the world in Harandar; and take on the Void’s forces amid the beautiful chaos of the Voidstorm.

⦁ EXPLORE AZEROTH’S DEEP ROOTS AS A HARANIR – The Haranir join the fight against Xal’atath as players unlock this new allied race in the main story campaign. Haranir players will be able to choose from the following classes: Warrior, Rogue, Priest, Druid, Hunter, Warlock, Monk and Shaman.

⦁ BECOME ONE WITH THE VOID – A long-awaited third Demon Hunter specialization arrives. Devourer Demon Hunters interweave ranged capabilities with the signature quick mobility and agility of the class as they forsake the Fel energy that fuels the other specializations and instead embrace the power of the Void. Additionally, the class expands with Void Elves joining the ranks of the Illidari as a Demon Hunter.

⦁ HUNT OR BE HUNTED IN PURSUIT OF GREAT REWARDS – Prey is a new opt-in hunting system that lets you pursue powerful targets (or be pursued) across Azeroth and beyond. It’s built to slot right into how you already play—whether you’re questing, gathering, or just exploring. This will be available in Normal, Hard and Nightmare difficulties with better rewards for greater risks.

⦁ REFRESHED ONBOARDING FOR NEW AND RETURNING PLAYERS – New players will play through an updated leveling flow with changes made to Exile’s Reach and Dragonflight™ as the introductory experience to learn and enjoy WoW’s rich story and gameplay systems. Returning players can play through a new, shorter optional experience in the Arathi Highlands to refamiliarize themselves before jumping back into the action.

⦁ LONG-REQUESTED HOUSING (FINALLY) COMES TO WOW – After more than two decades of adventure, world-ending threats, other-worldly invasions and even a campaign in the realm of death, the Champions of Azeroth will finally have a place on Azeroth to truly call home. Owners of the Midnight expansion will have two homes (one each for Horde and Alliance) along with an assortment of starting décor items to take their first steps in a new Player Housing system built for boundless expression. Players can explore the deep social systems and earn more décor items by simply doing what they love…playing the game!

Is from the press release.

[Hearthfinder]

Wow. I'll reserve full judgment until we've seen all the panels and interviews later this week, but this honestly did not give me a good first impression.

Trying to stay positive but it really feels like they just pushed some TWW content to Midnight and added some bits on top. Hardly any new major features as far as I can tell, and the Quel'Thalas bit seems really limited given that we'll be going to the "Rootlands", a Void zone, etc.?

No mention of High Elves, Forest Trolls, Hero Talents, new class/race combos, or really any groundbreaking new feature on top of housing. Wasn't this the expansion they really hyped up as the next Legion?

[johnny download]

I am whelmed.

[Nymrohd]

w8 so, haranir allied race and NO HELFS, is that it?

No Amani either

[Reive]

ai azshara would have been better than that slop kek

[Chickat]

The second chapter of The Worldsoul Saga™ begins. You'll return to the legendary kingdom of Quel'thalas then adventure through new and reimagined zones in search of new allies in the battle against Xal'atath. Experienced the reimagined zones of Eversong Woods and Zul'aman where you'll be immersed in familiar but new settings. Journey to Harandar the bioluminescent primordial jungle sitting at the confluence of the world trees' great roots, then discover a distant world ravaged by the void where predation reigns supreme and threats lurk within every shadow of the hostile landscape.
Thats the gist of it

This is not at all what I was expecting. Seems no cool new features either. A little whelmed so far.

[DiscipleofCazicThule]

We didn't have a real leak, have we? I don't think anyone called Haronir or a Prey feature. At least, none that I saw.

[Ashahalasin]

For all the hype, the feature set looks a little weak.

I am excited for harronir and new DH spec, but it feels less than the hype.

[Vakir]

“Knock your socks off”

Shadowlands feature trailer had more going for it.

That's hyperbole and you know it.

Not wowed, though, yeah.

[Al Gorefiend]

Everything I hoped for out of Midnight, I am shocked and so happy. Harranir allied race and Zul'Aman as a full-sized zone is incredible.

And another Netherstorm zone is incredible too.

My socks have in fact been blown off.

[Super Dickmann]

No Amani either

Thank fuck. Kill the reconciliation story in its crib.

[Pyrophax]

"Befriend the Haranir and recruit them in the battle against the void as the latest Allied Race"

Oh boi, its time.
