Dragonflight Alpha/Beta General Discussion

Funny because the eye color is what made it obvious.

Like why would a fan make a detailed fake but have his eyes a different color. That's only something blizz would do for story reasons. Fans stick to established shit when making believable fakes.

Classic nerd psychology

At this point people have caught on that the real leaks always have things that make no actual sense until you have the bigger context. So you now get fake leaks that are a bunch of random gibberish like "Khadgar turns into Kalec and flies away" because they know the more random and not based in anything we would assume, the more likely to be real. But they get way too outlandish with it. "Vol'jin is an urn" was silly and random but not ridiculous. Khadgar being evil and turning into Kalec is just stupid.

It could also be someone who works at Seneca, not Blizzard, and this is just another fake leak. Or works for a company that makes Seneca's promotional materials. Why would a Blizzard employee be making Seneca product brochures? You can see there is a whole stack of them there, a customer would only receive one in the mail not a whole stack.

The name is a real leak, but this is probably just someone that threw this together at work in a couple hours after reading about the expansion name leak.

Bro do u understand how high quality that art is? Not only is it similar to one of the artists blizz frequently uses (his name slips me atm) this piece would take weeks to complete. So the fact that this leaked alongside the name off the website WITH an entire new logo concept for WOW. If this was a fake the person would copy the exact concept of all the wow logo’s over the past 8 expacs as they’ve all been the same style, this one is modernized and going in a new direction. This cannot be fake stop smoking whatever you are lol.

Wei Wang? Definitely looks like one of his. Incredible stuff

Bayard Wu is the one who people have been comparing it to. Check out his previous Alexstrasza.

The resemblance is uncanny. Anyone who disagrees is just being a devil's advocate.

Wrath of the alexstraza is real without a doubt

I actually would love this! It would be the biggest troll that I have seen in YEARS. I'm sitting here smiling at my keyboard just thinking about it.

Yeah, you would love it until we get Journey to the Lightlands.

I know its not going to be, but if its cosmic like SL again I'm gonna quit.

Or someone had been working on a fake leak for a while ahead of time related to dragons and only stuck in the name right at the moment they heard the Dragonflight name leak online. Everyone suspected dragons and 9/10 leaks were about dragons. That's probably why the expansion name on this "leak" doesn't have a nameplate like every other expansion name has had in the past, because they just stuck the name on there at the last second.

You could 100% do a race of living fruits and vegetables. Just call them a nature elemental and then let me have a tiny anthropomorphic cherry follow me around.

Seconding this because it'd be fun af.

Oh....

[MyWholeLifeIsThunder]

Okay, Prediction time.

We are getting Class Skins, they will be the Pre-Order Bonus of 10.0 and will be added on next weeks PTR.

Another hit against the image is that the Seneca tobacco company with that logo is located in Eugene, Oregon. Which means it's very unlikely that both Blizzard and Seneca would use the same printing business to make their materials when they are in different states. Blizzard would be using a company in California, likely in the same city, while Seneca would be using a company in Oregon. That's assuming that Blizzard doesn't just make their materials in-house, in which case they wouldn't be making Seneca products as well.

Yea that's who I meant!

I honestly hope that all these leaks have been wrong. I would really like Blizzard to knock it out of the park next week and surprise us all. BBBuuuutttttt....I think we're getting dragons.

[Mferna]

I'll bookmark this and rub your face in it inna week. Idk why you being like this chungus.

[Chickat]

I would not put my money on Murozond, they've already shown that they are incapable of doing time travel shit and now that they have to clean up their story more than ever, my money is on Chromatus

We also just dealt with a Death expansion so I highly doubt we'll see another undead final boss, even though it would be pretty fucking dope to fight Galakrond

Honestly, they could do them all. All could be their own tier.

I kinda want to see a dead aspect council fight. Undead Deathwing, Malygos, and Ysera all at the same time.

sadly, anything could be true

- could be a blizzard designer (a smoker) with some tobacco brochure on his desk (for whatever reason)
- could be a design company that does marketing design for Blizz and Seneca
- could be somwhere else, with layed down fake Alexstrsza pictures
- could be a designer at seneca doing the fake leak

all is possible. we just don’t know it.

[Chickat]

Oh it's not that hard. You just have to rally a few people. Let's summon them together:
- Tinkers, mechs, gnomes, goblins, undermine
- Void, Old Gods, N'zoth, Ren'dorei.

You forgot High elves.

[Dracullus]

I'll be honest; i'd find both options to be massive disappointments.

Really? I think it's pretty clear that now we need something more down to earth. If not Dragon Isles, if not revamp, then what?

[Chickat]

Which is boring. Telegraphing such thing 6 expansions in advance and then following through and talking about it's "inevitability" is boring. Would appreciate if he somehow managed to change his destiny, in w/e way. This entire ancient Greece concept of how you can't fight your destiny is crap, and I am fairly sure we did overcome our fate few times already.

Yo, careful! Else you will summon Voidboi back to this thread.

I like the void. I think most people do. The issue is that person ONLY talks about the void.

Indeed, the Horde fanbase, and in particular the Blood elf fanbase, hate Alleria Windrunner because she chose Family over Country and because she endangered the Sunwell (while ignoring how, for example, Warchief Sylvanas had blackmailed the Blood elves during the campaign in Northrend and completely ignored their pleas).

I think the problem with the Void elves is that they might be too "complex" of a race.

Think about it, humans, dwarves, night elves, gnomes, they are all pretty generic and bland fantasy stereotypical races.

But Void elves? They are unprecedented, no other franchise has this kind of race. And so, as with all unprecedented things, it might be that most people simply do not understand the complexity of the Void elves, who are NOT just "Dark elves", since they are not evil and sadistic.

It might be that they are too "ambitious" conceptually, so to say, but I am sure that once they get the spotlight, people will finally realize what gem of a race they have been ignoring for years.

People, after all, gravitate towards what they understand; but if something is too complex or "elusive", how can you expect people to care? That's fine though, as I said the Ren'dorei will play a major role in 10.0 so people will be made to care.

Nobody hates Alleria... People on HERE just don't want to talk about her or worship her like you do.
