Where is the generic human house to represent the undying dream of WoW housing though?

10.0 will be WoW’s best expansion since Legion, calling it now.

That is literally what speculation is

If we only ever guessed worse than blizzard produces there would be no fun in it

Ofc, but I mean.. it took the community a long time to find out that our expectations would never be fullfilled. Every expansion cycle we had the same ideas popping up lwft and right and people had the wildest expectations and believes blizz would pull it off.

Speculations always had better ideas or lead up to stories that the community made. Imo blizz never realised those and it always ended in dissappointments.

Great example are npc.. blizz add some random named person with no lore, but speculation sometimes goes so far that a random cheese vendor whos now a dreadlord in disquise or what ever. I remember some fan asking about some rwndom character( I believe it was an orge) that had no lore, but some wanted more because they though he was interesting. On blizzcon alex responded with: Really?? He just gives you a quest.. to kill some mobs.. ?

Sometimes speculation goes to far and that becomes the standard and then ita really not hard to end up in a dissappointment. Look at Azshara or N zoth.. as examples. These two had crazy speculations.. what we got was nothing people hoped for after all the talka for years.

Zovaal sitting in a corner or over there.

Well the two since Legion have been complete shitshows so it better be better than those two.

Everything matters. That's what i'm saying. You're using tunnel vision, which eliminates everything else on that logo. Not that it's confirmed to be real...

Tunnel vision is ignoring all the other elements of the logo because you think you're seeing a bow...

They fought alongside each other in War of the Ancients.

That was against the Burning Legion. That doesn't really connect to the Old Gods or the Void trying to corrupt Azeroth.

They would. I even included them in my Dragon Isles concept art. But, this is not the expansion dedicated to them. They would serve as a tease towards a future expansion.

No one said that the expansion would be "dedicated" to the Titans. The expansion would involve Dragons, Old Gods, and the sleeping Titan Azeroth who is weakened and in danger, thus endangering everyone on the planet. You want an expansion based on Azeroth, EoD sounds like that expansion.

I think there is a little bit of difference in your two examples, the ogre was inflated by the community for no apparent reason; N'zoth and Azshara were teased by Blizzard for years, one way or another, and then they were not that great. It's not community's fault if Blizzard's writing checks she can't cover.

[Pheraz]

As long as they don't create some super Zorval called Megaval which has multiple Zorvals under his control blizzard can not do so much wrong if they either make a dragon or an emerald dream or a void light expansion

I think? I never suggested any interpretation to that logo whatsoever. You did.

Doesn't matter who they fought against. They cooperated.

Based in Azeroth, not on Azeroth. We already had one - BfA.
A Titan theme wouldn't be Azeroth. We already had that. It would be the other Titans or titanforged.

[Raetary]

Looks like i was too slow at the hypetrain front.

Oh well, not gonna let this go to waste, use whichever you prefer:

[Dracullus]

Usually there's a teaser for an announcement for the announcement, so it seems early.

Usually there is Blizzcon where everyone expect reveal. We only had 1 annoucement outside that. But that's common knowledge, Blizzard for sure want community to gather around for event like that.

I expect 1 week notice, but imo it should be even longer. It would be awesome if today/tomorrow Mike present whole schedule - this week for Hearthstone news, this week for Diablo news, this week 9.2 launch and as finale expansion annoucement on that date.

Can someone please add Ion hiding somewhere in a corner and Bobby in a hood like Palpatine?

- - - Updated - - -

While a very cool pic, Naaru really have nothing to do with dragons or the old gods. That should be titans, because the border of that logo is titan-based.

From a post in another thread;

This logo comparison makes me even more believe that Empire of Dragons indeed is a "true" leak and the upcoming expansion. The logo is just way too well done to be a fake.

Ion is already hiding in a disguise, look better

[Teriz]

You stated that you thought it was a bow earlier in the thread.

Against a completely unrelated foe thousands of years before the events of the next expansion.

Based in Azeroth, not on Azeroth. We already had one - BfA.
A Titan theme wouldn't be Azeroth. We already had that. It would be the other Titans or titanforged.

We have titan facilities all over Azeroth, further our base of operations in BFA (Chamber of Heart) was a titan facility alongside a titan robot named Mother.

[Varodoc]

N'Zoth is still alive.

He will be the main villain of the leaked expansion.

Hence why the logo is purplish and voidy, like the 8.3 logo, due to the association of this colour with the Void and the Old Gods.

The Ren'dorei will lead the Alliance in the renewed fight against N'Zoth.

[bruxx]

Can we add Sargeras' sword to the hype train? Or maybe a sad magni

[Teriz]

This logo comparison makes me even more believe that Empire of Dragons indeed is a "true" leak and the upcoming expansion. The logo is just way too well done to be a fake.

Agreed. The elements definitely match a more streamlined interpretation of a WoW logo, and all the elements flow together thematically.
