New Standalone Game Mode in Patch 12.1.7

Later in the year we also have a new standalone event coming from the same group of mad scientists that brought you game modes like Plunderstorm or Remix. We'll have more to share on this as we get closer to the date. This is going to be another separate standalone mode that exists alongside the core World of Warcraft loop.

Comment by GartIf you compare the layout of the town it is identical to the town of Sagehold in Stormsong Valley so it takes place in Kul Tiras lending to the theory of a Drust invasion of some sort.Comment by aeonisdawnwingActual vampires —not venthyr or sanlayn— would be a welcome addition to the lore ngl.Comment by ShurqElallewow this looks promisingComment by shaunsterDidn't they mention this mode a long time ago? Like over a year ago and never mentioned it again. Something to do with Waycrest Manor vibes. Glad they're doing something with it.Comment by GabrijelCzthe people who made Plunderstorm will be involved, this alone is making me lose interestComment by masilya111The buildings definintely look like Kul Tiran architecture. That's all I got and it may even be a red herring.Comment by Renevant99As long as it's not Blunderstorm 3: This @#$%e Again I'll take it!Comment by NymphaeisMan, I'd be so thrilled for all that stuff if I hadn't cancelled my sub and refunded Midnight over Blizz mutilating most specs and the addon purge.

I just hope they roll back the changes and I'll get to experience this. I used to laugh at all those dramatic posts in the past, but this time Blizz just did too much. Guess I'll play FF until shareholders force Blizz to revert some of the bs included in the 12.0 due to $$ numbers plummeting. I just hope this happens before this mode is released so I get to play it~Comment by BigBadDadWith all the housing tools to play with on their end, It'd be neat to see some kind of tower defense game mode.Comment by RiverbActual vampires —not venthyr or sanlayn— would be a welcome addition to the lore ngl.Comment by PriestessAurwonder if some of this is coming from their scrapped survival game. could be they are trying to repurpose it as a standalone mode in wowComment by MagicmyskinHopefully it's pve this time so we don't have to listen to carebears crying nonstop on the forums againComment by 0VapyrHopefully it's pve this time so we don't have to listen to carebears crying nonstop on the forums againComment by GnomesRulethe people who made Plunderstorm will be involved, this alone is making me lose interestComment by MikeMJGIf they are going to waste development time on some game mode that is outside of WoW, let it be as an added extra and not as a replacement for expansion content.

They did it with Dragonflight. They did it with The War Within. And now it's happening again in Midnight.

We lose a full patch of expansion content so they can have a game mode outside of WoW, which means that we have to stop playing WoW just to play this game mode. It is ridiculous.

I'm all for game modes that are part of WoW. It seems like they are spending all this time creating nonsense game modes outside of WoW and so-called "classic" realms, also outside of WoW - while in the real WoW, we are getting less content with every expansion.

And the funny thing is they are not even trying to hide it. We pay to play World of Warcraft. Not fake wannabe welfare vanilla or expansions, that are nothing like they should be. And not game modes outside of WoW.

Make them as extras, but making them as replacements for actual expansion content is ridiculous.Comment by saiadarthe people who made Plunderstorm will be involved, this alone is making me lose interestIf they are going to waste development time on some game mode that is outside of WoW, let it be as an added extra and not as a replacement for expansion content.

Not too hyped for anything like vamp surv, but if that appeals to other players--- then hell yeah. Experimentation is good. More experiments!Comment by SirBanetSo COD Zombies but WoW? WoW Zombies. I like it.Comment by vankelmirhoping it's just plunderstorm with a different map and theme but doesn't seem at all likely
could still be neat thoughComment by theaceofhearts36Yes, more Duskwood, drust, vampires, and spookiness is a defacto win for me.
