Another "Blizzard art Dev AMA" at 4chan [kek]

[TheramoreIsTheBomb]

Whelp... got most of everything right so far.

[Wangming]

Let's see so far:

8.2: Azshara survives. Correct

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

8.3:
-Vulpera and Mecha-Gnomes. Correct
-Ends with an assault on Ny'alotha. Correct
-Sylvanas makes herself the scapegoat to unite Horde and Alliance against Old God threat. Not really
-Sylvanas absorbs the essence of N'Zoth and is killed, to send it to the Shadowlands. It is weakened, but returns. Don't know yet
-Azeroth the Titan appears at the end of the final raid to save us from crumbling Ny'alotha. Very unique model. Don't know yet
-Ny'alotha is within the planet. A Titanic plain where the Old Gods attempt to corrupt the Titan. Lovecraftian. Correct

[Antilurker77]

New video confirms this leak is fake and dead.

[ReleaseDay]

While this is the most believable one I've seen yet, I kinda hope it isnt true. No more pruning, no more revamping. These aren't good ideas in the long run.

[Rhlor]

we will see what happens at the end of the raid

[Izalla]

Considering Sylvanas and Azshara made a deal that Azshara would free N'zoth and stab him with the dagger Sylvanas provided, killing him, and in return for the dagger she would make sure everyone Sylvanas sent/lured to Nazjatar would die... yeah no, Sylvanas did not unite us, she meant to kill us all in 8.2 (and that included her dang loyalist champion too)

[JMitchy96]

Hmmmm, I'll be keeping my eye on this one. It guessed a fair bit of stuff correctly (granted, some of it was obvious) and the bits it didn't get right are seemingly only small changes to how things actually turned out.

As others have said, we'll have to wait and see after the raid/blizzcon to know for sure, though I think this is one of few leaks I would actually be really happy with!

all of the "correct" was speculated before, we even knew azsahra survived days before the leak.

[legendaryusername]

I hope most of that leak is correct especially the revamp of the old world / level squish / class depruning.

then they just need to stop handing out loot for zero effort ( wq's & titanforging )

nd make the world feel like a dangerous place again ( like in classic )

Make levels/gear matter.. stop the open world scaling crap

[Dolus]

Tinker class, etc. Cataclysm Part Deux. We'll see. If that's true, it looks like Blizzard will need "The Burning Crusade" to make up the difference for loss of retail subs.

[babyback]

Exactly. One with a little bit of ratiocination could’ve seen those things happening beforehand.

[daretobecupid]

Thanks OP, I needed a good laugh; "Not worried about FFXIV. Convinced next expansion will put WoW back on top", that's adorable!

[Makorus]

all of the "correct" was speculated before, we even knew azsahra survived days before the leak.

Someone with braindamage could predict that Vulpera/Mecha-Gnomes were going to be Allied Races and that the last raid would be Nyalotha.

Plus, Ny'alotha is not a titanic plane and it hardly looks "lovecraftian".

We also know how N'zoth dies, and surprise, he does not get absorbed by Sylvanas.

Dunno why people keep jerking this leak.

[Selinde]

Pandaren DKs? Now that's a weird one to guess. Maybe this leak is legit?

[Shield Wall]

Ny'alotha is within the planet

Absolutely false. It's its own dimension.

- - - Updated - - -

Blightcaller will be a more independent character in the future, rather than a pawn.

That does not make any sense with what happened at the end of 8.2.5

- - - Updated - - -

Pandaren DKs? Now that's a weird one to guess. Maybe this leak is legit?

Nope.

Because of this

No other new race/class combos.

That's false. Because all the Allied Races get Death Knight as well.

Erm... This post is from 5 months ago. And so far, all of the wrong things could easily have been items that changed during development. The Tyrande thing is clearly still ongoing from 8.3 datamining.

Absolutely false. It's its own dimension.

It's a dimension that runs parallel to the world. That is essentially what the person said anyway. Semantics.

That does not make any sense with what happened at the end of 8.2.5

Not true. You don't know what is going on with him yet. Their goodbye sounded quite belabored... As if they will not see each other for quite some time, if ever again.

That's false. Because all the Allied Races get Death Knight as well.

You actually don't know that. The assets do not mean they are player characters and it is extremely unlikely all allied races get DKs.

the only thing "right" is the "assault on nyalotha" what people already theroized since azshraraid landed.


most of the things like Tyrande still attacking was common theory and even appeared in other leaks, i will not give much credit for this one

Common theory.... 5 months ago?? lol. Okay.

You are also off on what is right there. Azshara lives, etc etc etc.

[Syegfryed]

Common theory.... 5 months ago?? lol. Okay.

i mean yes, people theorized about shadowlands/nyalotha being 8.3 content, as n'zoth or sylvanas as final boss

You are also off on what is right there. Azshara lives, etc etc etc.

something we knew before the leak was out

Hype Azshara for 15 years (10 000 years, most powerful mortal on Azeroth)- even brain dead dog knew she not gona die, without adding her NAGA as playable race.

But once NAGA is playable, i gonna start to worry about her health.
