9.0 General Discussion

Hit up a coworker to ask what he saw during the cinematic. This cannot be confirmed. Coworker claims Sylvanas' ascent of Icecrown was filled with cuts and flashbacks. Sylvanas and Val'kyr attempt to steal the crown from Bolvar. Bolvar kills Val'kyr and wounds Sylvanas during battle. Guess Bolvar's eyes change in response to Sylvanas attempting to take the crown. Loose quotes: "The balance of life and death must be preserved." "There will be no bastion for you, Banshee. Damnation is all that awaits."

Take it with a grain of salt. He's not a big WoW player, and was busy as well. Mostly trying to piece together his story.

This sounds very cool and totally in line with what Blizzard usually puts in the cinematics. Flashbacks, narration, I can 100% imagine it.

How the fuck did I manage to spell it wron THAT way?

[Telean]

What's the Shroud of Elune leak? :|

I can't paste links with a new account, just google it, it will be the first link from 4chan

[Zankai27]

Oooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhjj

Good theory

No it’s not. There’s a 0% chance the Bolvar art is a fakeout. They’d be better off not doing anything than wasting resources for a piece of cinematic artwork they won’t use.

At this point is shouldn’t be a surprise if blizz let’s a handful of employees slowly leak some pieces of info for Hype.

The info could be partially fake as well to keep people guessing.

It is a smart move imo.

Marl posted it a few times in this thread now.

Basically it's the Galrakron/Black Dragonshrine area of Dragonblight. But it looks like they painted over everything that wasn't snow with snow, and the Black Dragonshrine is replaced with an untextured... something.

Showed up I think he said back around 8.1.

Galakrond rises to destroy the dragonflights

Lol, Bronze Dragonflight + Elune is hinted by the ACTUAL SHADOWLANDS LOGO, not just a 4chan leak.

Look at the bronze wrappings on the logo, the white misty stuff that may be Elune magic, and the sands in the Bastion art.

Just made an account to say that for me Towelie tweets hints the Shroud of Elune leak to be true.
Dark side of the moon = elune, time traveling delorean = infinite dragonflight

Damn. I can see this happening.

I think the picture of the shadow lands with the ghostly castle is a jebait by blizzard.

Because the same castle is on a diablo book

I'd have the cinematic guys throw together some wild ass screenshots for kicks if I was a Blizz high up. Would be fun.

[Polybius]

People not wanting technology and instead just want boring high fantasy are honestly sad sad people.

Tech is part of high fantasy.

Galakrond rises to destroy the dragonflights

Pre patch event. Galakrond raids towns and cities fight back to make it retreat.

Was genuinely expecting the login screen.

I meant the dragon stuff

The bolvar thing would be absolutely perfect lol

[Augusta138]

I mean they are taking some creators before BlizzCon and talking to them

Currently preach and bae are going

Yes, its called networking. I really dont think it will be a briefing about everything they will reveal.

They are valueable people to talk to because they can bring them more useable feedback than the average wow player because they smash the ptr to really test things.

Same thing happens with high end raiders, they also meet with them about certain things between or during expansions.

That was confirmed fake. The artwork is fan art.

Are we being raided by Wowhead users?
