Patch 5.5 - The Skysunder

[D4NNYB0Y]

They don't need to release 5.5 tomorrow, and it even says Test in the video. So that is not the final version, if it's real :P I'm sure the flame effects gets improved and borders get added if/when the time comes.

If they were using it for testing purposes why would they delete it rather than make it private?

It's gonna be a pre-expansion patch, so there should be a trailer imo

I don't remember the other pre-expansion events having a trailer. Usually the trailer for the next expansion was released around that time wasn't it?

I think Blizzard has been indicating that they might do SOMETHING between SoO and next expansion, just don't think this is it. Dunno if Blizzard has even decided on what to do yet.

I believe so.

"The Skysunder" sounds weird. I'm not a native speaker, but wouldn't it either be "Skysunder" or "The Skysundering"?

I don't think it's odd at all. "Sunder" is a verb, so "Skysunder" would mean the splitting of the sky.

If this were to be an event like "the Cataclysm" then one might refer to the moment when the Legion rained from the sky as "The Skysunder"

No legitimate evidence to suggest it's real.

I remember a few trailer-type pre-expansion moments:

Still worthy of necro especially that the next patch is 5.5 for story advancement.

i don't think we will find out if its real until blizzcon, if they reveal skysunder is real before blizzcon is basically confirms burning legion expansion. so 5.5 probably on PTR after blizzcon?

Please giff me Skysunderz

[masterjc]

it's a fake
look at picture
it uses 4,1 trailer ending stuff

look it's shown on youtube and it hasnot been confirmed by any source that was uploaded there
look at timer 0:06 of 0:21? wtf?
wher ehave u seen 21 sec lengs oth logo onyl or trailer size? mostly when patch name is shown at START and not at end of line


look at any pervious patch trailers almsot all need 5-8 secs to show fully patch logo
and after that, 2-3 secs and it disappears


its a fake
fake fake


also flames
loook carefully they come from below, like in 4,1

[Belloc]

Fake or not, we've already gotten 25 pages of discussion out of the topic and no new developments. Probably best to let the thread stay dead.

Who the hell necros a thread about a leak that's been confirmed as fake?

Who the hell necros a thread about a leak that's been confirmed as fake?

I don't think this has been "confirmed" fake yet. Just that it can't be proven until the actual 5.5 patch comes out to see if it's true or fake.

fact its fake!

Quite a few misconceptions being thrown around in this thread!

First of all, here is a different image showing a little more detail:



As you can see from the title -- it's just the "title frame fx test" -- and not the full trailer; so people who are dismissing its validity on that point alone are doing so on a false assumption.

Other posters have pointed this out too, but I think it merits repetition: asking for a source is pointless, because any source would serve their interests best by remaining anonymous. If the source identified themselves, not only would they possibly put their career at risk, but they would most certainly ruin any chance at leaking anything else.


I am not for a moment suggesting that this is the genuine article. In fact, I've got a strong feeling that it isn't.
But let's not try to support our beliefs with flimsy logic and outright wrong conclusions.

To the people saying it's fake because he took a picture of a screen, I guarantee you would have said the same thing if it was a print screen.
