Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

What is that red building even supposed to be

The scarlet onslaught area.

A friend shared. I don't know what state he's in. March сinematic.

It was a good choice hiding the quality with a screenshot of a monitor but what gives it away is it's clearly the in game rendering of Dragonblight: a cinematic would recreate the landscape from scratch.

Seems similar to Stormwind Cathedral to me.

[Shadochi]

Dalaran I believe

EDIT: Just compared it to Legion Dalaran and its not it

[Makorus]

The scarlet onslaught area.

Oh right, I forgot that existed.

[Varodoc]

Scarlet Crusade expansion confirmed with Turalyon as main villain/Garrosh 3.0.

Also the fact that both images are of exactly the same frame of the "cinematic"
So was the "cinematic" paused?

It's the Scarlet Onslaught town.
The image is literally just Dragonblight with a filter, and the Scarlet Onslaught area is just the cherry on top proving that.

Blizzard was giving employees a chance to take candid forbidden pictures. Standard procedure for leak season.

[Makorus]

Yup

Most be a private realm with increase view distance and some editing on the top of the tower and brighter flames.

[Master Factician]

Wyrmrest Temple looks quite different between the two.

In the state of "i need a better camera" i'd say.

What's with all the random super-bright light sources anyway?

[micwini]

Interesting. Obviously dragonblight and wyrmrest, but ingame there is right now not a version where the top is exploded with stuff floating above it.

[Raetary]

And why is Hearthglen portrayed to be the same size as the temple?

And the temple explosion looks like its animated in Minecraft.
And who thought adding a weird ass looking lens flair was a good idea?

[Sondrelk]

There is however the version of Wyrmrest we see in Hour of Twilight and Dragon Soul that has the top removed.
Adding some effects to make it seem like stuff is floating above shouldn't be difficult, especially considering it's just a picture, and the things floating above could literally just be painted on.

Most likely indeed. I don't think this is real. We've seen better stuff that turned out to be fake.

This actually makes some sence to me.
As Janitors defeat cinematic (in game).
If you remember his room from 9.2 preview video, he does have "console" in his room with map of Northrend. And we do know that theres "something he casts towards Azeroth" in later phases.
What if thats the beam?
What if we get ported to Wyrmrest in last phase (mythic only)?
This seems highly plausible to me.

And theres still unanswered enigma of leaked Borean Tundra HD screen shot with flying Necropolis in background.

I wouldnt discredit this 1 that easily tbh.

It's called a "cheap way to hide this is actually a private server/shopped photo that would also indicate a some kind of new event" type of thing.

Well, they obviously aren't doing a terribly good job at it.

[KOUNTERPARTS]

It would be pretty damn cool if the Dragon Isles was just a "cover" or a "front" for Uldaz/Uldorus.


I would love to see Ulduar-esque aesthetics/themes again.

Or you could just ignore him? And don't snitch on him.

"Don't snitch on him" lmao, you think this is prison rules or something? Do you feel like we're in a prison? And that you will set... us all... freeeeeeeeeeee...

[ExiHext]

I would. But knowing this forum, this obvious fake leak picture will be discussed ad nauseam.
