    like looking at the necropolis there is barely a texture. blizz literally did this in vanilla wow, the necropolis naxramas didnt have a texture, it was just grey, a silihoutte in the distance a giant grey blob, but because of the distance and it appearing in the fog it got away with it.

    its so low quality it could easily be made by a person with just too much free time and fancied up to look better, its easy to hide stuff behind low quality.
    Could be fake - Sure. But why would you make yourself all that work to create a maldraxus necropolis floating over Northend? Wouldn't you try to make it a little bit more epic? To steer people up. For what other reason would you fake one of these.

    The same reason for when it's happened countless times in the video game industry: shits and giggles.

    All I know is that they made the full CGI shadowlands trailer showcase for a reason. We are clearly going to get more full CGI cinematics, just like BFA. You can argue over this being fake but it doesn't matter. Each patch will get one.

    Rnd dude seeing the picture: "Yeah cool screenshot. Could be a necropolis over Nothrend."
    Another dude: "Yeah you are right. This could mean anything tho. So whatever."

    The fake creator:"HIHIHIHI I tricked them." ???

    Yes. Again, this sort of thing has happened sooooooo many times. Trolls are a thing.

    Mark my words mate. 9.3 (if happens... or 9.2 as last "big patch") will happen in Dragoblight. And we will see interactions between Bolvar and Red Dragonflight. They won't be happy about each other.

    because 1. its less work to only include 1 thing
    2. the more you add, the more possible holes people can find
    3. creating something epic is obvious, the less "epic" something is the less beleiveable. why a lot of old fakes were literally just the login screen or random logo, instead of idk the final boss, some cool ass models, etc etc.

    the more you add the more work it takes.

    and again for what reason would you fake one of these? idk what reason did literally every single fucking person ever who faked shit fake it?
    Are you really trying to ask "why would someone fake something" dude, seriously?

    I know, but not with something so uninteresting. Like you don't get any juice out of faking something like this. Like back in the days all these dragon island fakes and stuff. They all had a lot of juice and people went crazy over these, but this is one is so boring.. that's the point. It's so uninteresting, that it could be real.

    I want to call it fake but I was wrong with Bolvar. I thought there was no possible way Blizzard would be dumb enough to have Bolvar all fire with just blue eyes or that for some reason he would get a few pieces of dk armor while going shirtless but it turned out real.

    About as interesting as this. Jailer ends up leaving the shadowlands and invading azeroth vs army of ghosts invade stormwind. Sure.

    your literally answering your own question.
    "Why would they fake something so uninteresting, that just makes it more believable"
    Thats the point... if they try to keep it simple then it lets people go wild, again login screens and logos.

    Fakes on this forum were always somewhat epic. Not a blurry picture of Northrend.

    You argue on both sides of the spectrum. You say adding more stuff makes it unbelievable and also not adding more stuff makes it unbelievable. Login screens are 100% more epic than that fake "leaked" here.

    I think if you don't strawman what he says that it is very simple and he isn't arguing both sides. He is saying that they are going to do stuff like making it blurry and relatively simple as it takes less time and thus it is harder to find errors in it. So it is a double win. Hell, the Stormwind Harbor which actually had a lot of work put in to it was usually shown to be fake because the water doesn't match WoW's water.

    However, he also states that they don't want to have too amazing of a scene as people are less likely to think it is true then. Having it be more mundane gets people just like you and others saying, "It is boring so it must be real." You are actually playing in to their hand when you make this argument.

    Now with that said. There is literally nothing in this screenshot that an amateur artist couldn't do pretty easily. In fact, this Draka image is completely fan made and much higher quality than this supposed leak. Had the artist wanted they could have put in some random background on the image, posted it on here and reddit saying that it's a leak of a future WoW cinematic and a ton of people here would be saying it is real.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6q_AMvpga0
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bLqnem9Jj0
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppe8723nEmA

    Here are some videos of people remaking WoW locations in Unreal to give it a near cinematic quality. Imagine how easy it'd then be to take any of these, zoom out a bit and make it extremely blurry to hide any imperfections and then advertise it as a leak. I mean, there is even a reason a lot of people on say reddit have pointed out the Unreal engine qualities to the pictures.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tElS7a7z1Dc

    Here's a nice video of a guy making a CGI front of Orgrimmar shot who admits himself to still using this as a learning process and is still very amateur at it. Even then this entire video still shows a higher quality than what the screenshot shows.


    I do want to point out, it is funny in this thread reading the people that believe this 'leak' and they can't decide if their argument should be, "There is way too much effort in this for it to be a fake" or "There isn't enough effort in this, fakes are usually more epic than this and thus it must be real."


    Like, this isn't the first fake blurry screenshot that we are being told is a totally real leak, and it won't be the last.

    thats the whole fucking point.


    adding more stuff makes it more believable, but makes it more likely to be noticed as a fake, holy fucking shit do you not understand how things work?


    If you show a photoshop of you with 1 celebrity it is unlikely people will notice the small errors, but post 100 and you are more likely to have made an error someone notices. and then well all your stuff is put up to notice and they start dismantling that aswell. the more you make the more likely it is someone will notice the lie.

    and yes as the guy above me says, you are literally fucking with your own logic
    "If someone wanted to fake something, why would they make it boring and not super epic. It being boring makes it more likely to be real!"
    yeah that's literally why they would make it more boring, cause then it seems even more likely to be real.

    This is probably a leaked still from the Sylvanas book and not from a cinematic. There are CONFIRMED/encrypted 3-4 rendered cinematics in 9.1:
    1: The cinematic we've seen with Anduin & the Archon
    2: The Sylvanas versus Tyrande cinematic Spoilers
    3: The Sylvanas defeat cinematic
    4: The Maw/Korthia cinematic

    If this IS a cinematic, it's part of the third one.

    Then again could be fake or scrapped.

    Instead of arguing over whether or not it's real how about everyone speculate what it could mean?

    of course with all the new Northrend speculation we could also stretch the green + purple color combo to mean a relation to the Nerubians, either scenario would be cool with me
    Thanks for the update on this! Sounds very interesting and might correspond with all the other stuff.

    But by making it boring they destroy the purpose of creating fakes.... No one would care if I create a fake sholazar basin screenshot. But everyone cares if I create a fake login screen showing the next evil. You get the point?
