WoW "leak" from a developer on 4chan(lol)

[Vasoka]

And on the allied races. It's basically confirmed by now.

[EbaumsTipster]

Nyalotha, Vulpera and Mechagnome were obvious. This confirms nothing.

LOL, "were obvious". Sure thing, cupcake.

LOL, "were obvious". Sure thing, cupcake.

Everyone and their grandma knew that Vulpera were coming, Mechagnome was obvious to anyone who realized they could equip armor, and they've been beating you over the head that Nyalotha was coming IN THE EXPANSION.

[AssBreaker]

It also predicted vulpera and mechagnomes on 8.3.

Also predicted the end of titanforging for next patch etc...

[Slowpoke is a Gamer]

Vulpera and Mechagnomes were datamined the moment 8.0 and 8.2 came out respectively.

Looking at the story beats this leak is still roundly busted.

Except the leak clearly said nyalotha was in 8.3 and not in next expansion.

Shadowlands leak is now REALLY dead. I mean it was on its last legs before, but now it's buried with a stake in it.

Who knows what's coming next....

[Helwetti]

I bet blizzard is releasing these leaks themselves to gauge peoples opinions on them (atleast in part)

Dude, this is not the shadowlands leak. This leak was posted in june, 1 month before shadowlands leak

[Buliwyf the Omen]

Can someone tell me which leak we are talking about that involved the current 8.3 stuff?

[Lionhearte0]

I highlighted what's been confirmed in green. Red is not yet confirmed.

• Claims that WoW will be implementing something akin to ESO's leveling system.
• The level cap in 9.0 will be 60 and we'll be questing to level 70.
• Claims that he's working on a faction merge prototype at the moment and testing how warmode could still leave PvP intact.
• On the faction merge they're TALKING about letting people interact with the other faction as long as warmode is off. Orcs in SW and Night Elves in Horde guilds and so on.
• The next allied races are Vulpera and Mechagnome and the ones after that are Lightbound Undead for the Alliance and some sort of Boar creature that uses the Worgen rig for the Horde
  
• High elves are doa.
• No Sethrakk
• Sylvanas survives into the next expansion, right now she's trying to stop N'zoth and after he escapes we'll fight her and reseal N'zoth as the final boss of BfA
  
• After Sylvanas leaves to do her thing Lilian Voss is slated to become the new Forskaen leader although if "faction stuff" is scrapped then Calia with be the leader. (Whatever "faction stuff" means...maybe dissolving the factions gameplay wise? Or storywise?)
  
• In 8.3 we "defeat" N'zoth but he isn't gone forever
• Allegedly 8.3 was going to include Tyrande's revenge but since people were dissatisfied with the start of the expansion it got bumped forward
• Baine and Anduin make peace and Sylvanas loyalists go into hiding
• The next expansion will deal with the resurgence of the dragons (Wrathion finally comes back) as well as dealing with the forces of Death. Elune, some sort of aspect of the Light, has become "frenemies" with Death. Naturally the kaldorei are devastated that their goddess worked towards/allowed Tel'drassil to burn
• Says that Bwonsomdi's boss is a "she", no name yet
• Something about an orb we're getting as the new artifact/azerite system and a bunch of quests related to it? (Is this something on live?)
• New class is Tinker with prestige classes along with it. Prestige classes being "class skins" you would have to unlock with Necromacer, Dragonsworn, and Dark Shaman in-progress at the moment.
• Dragonsworn are a Driud skin and he gave the example that flame and frost would replace lunar cycles
• Prestige classes are a seperate class. So if you played a Druid and unlocked Dragonsworn you would then have to make a new character rather than slap a skin on your Druid
• Tinkers start at level 50. Tank/Healer/DPS that use mail armor. Tanks use power armor, Healers use healbots inbetween dpsing, and the DPS se stealth, bombs, mines, and guns
• Player housing is forever in development hell

Hardly anything has been confirmed as people are saying like this post:

The leak was right for Nyalotah on 8.3.


This leak was right on many things.

Anyone could have guessed Vulpera/Mechagnome as Allied races. And most people who were not LOLIDIOTS knew Sylvanas wasn't going to be killed off except the LOLGARROSH2.0Xd crowd.

LOL, "were obvious". Sure thing, cupcake.

Everyone with two brain cells to rub together knew that we were getting vulpera and mechagnomes as Allied Races, since they've both been set up for it in the ChrRaces.dbc file since they were added (since BFA alpha for the vulpera, in fact).

Ny'alotha was either going to be the next raid or the next expansion, and since they outright say we're fighting N'Zoth next in the 8.2.5 quests, and Ny'alotha is his domain, it has been a pretty obvious pick for the final raid for the last few weeks.

A LOT of your yellow is stuff that cannot be confirmed anyway because it pertains to 9.0 or simply dev hearsay.

It botches the entire War Campaign end.

[Zachsophone]

There are these boar creatures, they're called Quilboars. But why would they join the Horde?

Mankrik wouldn't be happy. :P

8.3:
-Vulpera and Mecha-Gnomes.
-Ends with an assault on Ny'alotha.
-Sylvanas makes herself the scapegoat to unite Horde and Alliance against Old God threat.
-Sylvanas absorbs the essence of N'Zoth and is killed, to send it to the Shadowlands. It is weakened, but returns.
-Azeroth the Titan appears at the end of the final raid to save us from crumbling Ny'alotha. Very unique model.
-Ny'alotha is within the planet. A Titanic plain where the Old Gods attempt to corrupt the Titan. Lovecraftian.

As it has already been said, the leak is not the OP. The leak you quoted is a retranscription. There was two interventions from the leaker on 4 chan, the latest in september. Therefore your list is very incomplete.

The very first sentence is confirmed : "Claims that WoW will be implementing something akin to ESO's leveling system."

ESO has a scaling system that let high levels quest with low levels. This has been implemented in 8.2.5.

8.2.5:
-Worgen Heritage Armor will be knight-like in human shape, cool nightmare-is in worgen shape.
-Goblin heritage armor has a cool trade/gold theme to it.
-Tyrande defies the Alliance and attacks the Horde.

Precisely my point. Emphasis was that this leak is hardly confirming anything since most of it can't be confirmed until Blizzcon.
