Scaleface?

can someone embed this one

Do y'all think this this red mist is a racial, or do you think this dragon thing is going to be its own class?

I don't think its fire. Could be A breath that was just cast, but is no longer coming from the dragons mouth. Like a lingering fire Mist? It doesn't look too bad, but its too red and sparkly for dragon flames IMO.

Tell me about it. Always at odd angles too, like they took out a camera from the 60's jumped in front of the monitor and took the pic an inch away from the screen. Then ran off or something.

Now that we've got those images, I'm leaning 70/30 towards it all being fake. Or maybe it's wishful thinking. I like the idea of a dragon race but that image looks odd and missing the "blizzard polish". Granted it could be early alpha and still look better for the reveal, so here's hoping.

Maybe it's associated with the Crane celestial? It looks aesthetically-suited to them.

This is supposedly the new race. The new class hasn’t been leaked yet.

Oh yeah that's true. Could be some kind of CC aoe disorient racial.

Ok what about this weird bed in stockades? It is very flickery reused asset or something else?

Yeah that is weird. Only from some angels.

Might be misplaced, part of me wants to believe it's a revamp asset that they forgot to remove/mask.

Also lol I think I saw one of you on the PTR checking that out.

Here's my whole analysis that makes me think it's fake and probably from a Scalie server. My sister, who is an artist (though not a 3d artist) also helped with her eye for design.
model.

The longer i looked at it, the more on the fence I was about it being possibly legit (artistically). After reading your analysis, I'm kinda pushed towards the side of it being more a fabrication by a fan than in-house wip. But, like others have said, we'll know for certain tomorrow :P

Tbh, what had me iffy at first was that if this was to be a playable female model, i believe blizzard would have given her a wider set of hips and definitive breasts. I just can't see blizzard making a female playable character without those.

Just to make it clear:
Dragonflight is the mobile game in the Warcraft universe and NOT the next World of Warcraft (The MMORPG game) expansion?

I didn't think he was being serious with that post, but I would be interested if he is willing to confirm. My take is he is getting frustrated due to posts like the one below the post I'm quoting.

Wonder if there's another phase we can't see yet and this is seeping through...

[Axaron]

it's fake i can tell because of the pixels

[SniperCT]

hmm in ptr all the trees linked to the dream ways leaves have changed color they are orange

checking on live, inside the dreamway they're green, outside the dreamway it varies (the tree right over the portal in duskwood is orange leaves, but moonglade is not)

In eastern cultures dragonfire can heal

So I'm not at all qualified to go "see this here and that all prove this image is fake", but I'm just not feeling it. The more I look at those images the more off it feels. If I'm wrong I'm wrong but I will be genuinely shocked if Blizzard adds a playable race that is THAT far out of the norm for every other race they've added. Massive wings and a big long tail, it will take up more space than any other playable model, no armour is strange when every other non-drake model wears armour of some kind, and can you imagine that thing interacting with the world as more than an NPC? Sitting on a chair without clipping through everything? Having useless wings they can't use out of combat or before flying is available?

All the other races standing together look like they could co-exist, but this one just doesn't fit in at all.

I dunno. I'll be surprised if that thing is real, or really playable at least.

Honestly, for me the "breasts" are what kills it. It looks too obvious and exaggerated, which is why I specifically lean towards "Scalie". It's kind of hard to notice if you aren't looking for it, but the chest looks very awkward.

Is it law that all "leaks" be taken on a nokia from 2002 and then processed through ms paint on a windows 95 system?

Are you winning in hots?
