НАШИ БЛИЗЗАРД ВЕРНУЛИСЬ?! MIDNIGHT НОВОСТИ ВОВ 12.0 WORLD OF WARCRAFT WOW #wow #warcraft

Summary — World of Warcraft / Blizzard news (from Evilnow)

Main storyline / lore

• Amani’s Legacy novella released. Key points:
  • Zul’jin has been defeated by forest trolls.
  • His daughter, Zuljara, must journey to reclaim her tribe from a usurper (Poloru is mentioned) and prove herself as leader.
  • The novella is available as PDF and audio.

Gameplay highlights, changes and tips

• Local/world quests (locals) once again reward normal gold. They can be farmed until (if) Blizzard nerfs them — recommended to take advantage now to farm gold.
• New in-game store currency introduced (referred to in the video as “Domostal”/homestay):
  • Approximate exchange rates given: 100 units ≈ €/$1, 500 ≈ €/$5, 10,000 ≈ €/$100.
  • Typical microtransactions include small pets (lion cub, puppy/wolf).
  • Bundles offer savings — buying multiple items at once is cheaper than single purchases (example: buying 8 at once costs less overall).
• Gear upgrade system in the upcoming patch (referred to as “Midnight” / WoW 12.0 context):
  • Valor currency removed; upgrades will use gold instead.
  • Stated per-step gold costs (as presented):
    1. Adventurer — 10g
    2. Veteran — 20g
    3. Defender — 30g
    4. Hero — 40g
    5. Legend — 50g
  • Community estimate: fully upgrading all gear costs about 3,750g total — considered inexpensive (comparable to doing a few world quests or opening a chest).
  • Suggested developer rationale: removing a second currency from the codebase was difficult/expensive, so they substituted gold.

Bug / engine oddity

• A reported visual/code bug shows a “shadow of a rabbit” under an avatar’s foot.

  Humorous/illustrative claim: some game systems depend on tiny legacy/code quirks — “everything rests on a rabbit.”

Housing / player creativity

• Players have created elaborate player housing, including:
  • In-game recreations of famous paintings
  • A moving-castle build
  • Home gyms
  • Doctor Who–style builds (Dalek)
  • Thrones and memorial gardens
• These builds are highlighted as impressive and inspirational for design ideas.

General Blizzard ecosystem notes

• Diablo:
  • New content mentioned across the Diablo line.
  • Diablo II: announcement included a new Warlock class priced at $25 in one announcement.
  • Diablo IV and Diablo Immortal continue to receive development.
• Overwatch: experiencing renewed popularity and a strong season.
• Blizzard presented a large showcase emphasizing cross-team collaboration and long-term planning (5–10–100 years). Reactions were mixed — some found staged presentation bits cringey, but the content slate was praised.
• BlizzCon teases: hints about upcoming reveals (classic WoW, a new Diablo, etc.) — community excitement expected.

Community / channel notes

• Host: Evilnow schedules streams and asks viewers to like/subscribe.
• Community channels: Telegram and Discord are mentioned for viewers.
• Sponsor: FunPay marketplace — described as a CIS-focused place to buy WoW goods, gold, expansions, subscriptions; offers a secure escrow system and many sellers with feedback.

Strategy / quick tips

• Farm local/world quests now while they still award full gold.
• Plan gold for gear upgrades — upgrading all gear is estimated at ~3,750g, which is affordable; budget accordingly rather than expecting a new grind currency.
• Check in-game store bundles before buying single items — bulk purchases can be cheaper.
• Look for player-made housing for inspiration — many impressive builds already exist.
