Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Arcinatoss]

you know what'd be a giga chad move from blizz? doing the reveal this thursday instead, it's already been leaked, might aswell pull the bandaid off.

Like I said in a post previously, whilst working at Blizzard me and my office section would sometimes pass time by messing around with players on forums and such. We would sometimes create fake leaks so stupid, but sprinkle in just a tiny bit of real information to our amusement. As you can tell work life was very boring. But funny at the time!

Jesus christ, you need to get some professional help man.

[Ferlion]

I gotta say, for an artist, you do sure know a lot about the inner workings of every other department. Pretty impressive, honestly.

Also, wasn't Ashes debunked a few weeks ago? Why are people still holding on to that leak?

AFAIK, the only thing close to it was Overwatch 2 stuff and dates. Something I'd be willing to say have changed.

I think the truth is more likely that both are leaks are fake that got something right as an overall general plot. But honestly, even when Blizzard does the expansion that players expect, it's generally not done in the way players expect them so I'd not expect "common fan guesses and theories" to hit the mark.

Please refer to countless prior posts about how me and co-workers spent time amusing ourselves in the office. If you look, we sprinkled real information in these "leaks" and we actually really enjoyed doing so.

No wonder you got laid off if that's how you were spending your time working.

Oh we larping today huh ... lmao

People have always tended to swerve towards the cool sounding leaks. In reality it's a company of people just working for money. We are forced upon with great goals that cannot be completed. The game is not being made to be the best it can be. It's simply being made. It's genuinely a joke at this point.

I'd be there for that haha

Next class: Dev Larper confirmed

[Local Ardenweald Faerie]

Funny, because while Dave's supposed sprinkle hint of a level squish was posted in October 2019...

The actual confirmation of a level squish was in June. https://www.wowhead.com/news/level-s...-survey-292286

With my portfolio comes a reveal to my identity. Something, due to clear reasons, can't happen.

Prior to Blizzard I worked for an indie Xbox 360 company.

Doodle something new not in your typical style and post it. Should be easy enough.

The company that made me sell my home due to layoffs, effectively starving my children can suck my ****.

Also, I use VPNs and appropriate security - my real name is not Dave and none of my previous co-workers would say a thing as we are all still in contact.

Ye ye. Disgruntled ex-employee wronged by big corpos is on a revenge path by leaking us next expansion. Go stand in line behind the guy whose uncle talked to Ion in the bar last night.

This thread is popping off indeed.

Why would you say that you're worried about revealing your identity and then give us a hint that could potentially be used to figure out your identity?

[Nyel]

There is a leak named Dragonflight and someone larping as a dev, but it's almost all bullshit, the only thing we know for sure is the name is Dragonflight and there is a potentially real image of it leaked.

Yeah I am aware of the trademarked name and the pictures.

But the Dragonflight leak was from February, two months ago. Guessing that name right is quite a task as Dragonflight just sounds terrible. Dragonflights (as there is more than one) would be the more plausible name for a fake leak, wouldn’t it?

[Santandame]

This has to be Razorpax.

Or bigger plot twist, its the return of RDA.

[KainneAbsolute]

People are willing to believe Blizzard planted a fake expansion name in their website, but they are not willing to believe a ex dev coming to MMOC forums?

Anything can happen! it is leak season!!!!

[ercarp]

Aaaaaaand he's gone.

IIRC, someone on this thread admitted to making the leak up. This was around the same time another person came out and admitted the leading logo was their creation. I want to say this was a month or so ago.

Oh. My. God. Please don't summon RDA into this. I had almost forgotten them.

Yeah, dev larpers really are the flavour of this season.

[Santandame]

This thread is popping off.

Here he is.

Can you give us some insight into whether Blizzard artists know a lot of info about the inner workings of expansion details as well as if members of the art team spend their time creating fake leaks to mislead fans on mmoc?

[ATZenith]

Anything new since the leaked name and the leaked poster?
