Midnight 12.X Patches & World Soul Saga Speculation Thread

I like this one, if its AI its a pretty decent AI. At least better that that orc one imo.

You know what... the more I thought about the dwarf expansion the more I wished underground was real. Just not all the time underground please because I need skyboxes

Well if Toweliee is right, that’s seems to be what’s going to happen. We’ll see soon enough. An underground expansion opens up quite a few interesting possibilities.

For example, I think we’re going back to deepholme via the Malestrom, and the Malestrom might be the source of all this “Storm” stuff in the datamining.

It was never real, the leak was from last year and keyboardturner made it.

It's hilarious that people are taking it seriously again.

Can’t wait for people to start taking the cataclysm classic photoshop seriously

[micwini]

Who’s going to be brave enough?

HAMMMER TIME!

It looks really good. You would assume it was the real thing if you saw it somewhere

HAMMMER TIME!

That upressed gryphon has seen some shit.

Average hype thread regular when we're still a month out from BlizzCon and are already this deep into "leak" season.

for sure , even though i'm like 99% sure the strings keyboardturner found more or less confirm classic cata is coming.

That doesn't even look like a WoW gryphon. The ones we see have both bird and lion legs. This one clearly just has lion ones.

Here's an interesting fact: gryphons seem to be native to the north-eastern corners of the world, from the Hinterlands to Northrend.

So how would Khaz Algar earthen have their own breed of Algarian Storm Riders, if they are supposedly separated by a vast distance from the dwarves of the Eastern Kingdoms?

I guess it would depend on where on the map the new continent is.

Honestly, I doubt they think too hard about this stuff. Otherwise the Dragon Isles would probably have been north of Kalimdor rather than EK, to fit better with the Dragonrider stuff in the Draenei starting zone.

Because it’s not a gryphon. The Stormrider is an elemental.

I'm very curious to see how close it will be to the one made by Blizzard. Cause with a wrath logo I faked in the past I pretty much nailed it XD

WoW Voidstorm

Partial World Revamp
Avaloren, five zones
No new race or class at launch
Ethereals in 11.1
Three new specs.
Warrior support (Shouts)
Hunter support (Pets)
Shaman tank (Earth)

The idea going forward is that specs that are pure DPS will receive an alternative (either tank, heal or support).

There are no plans for a third DH class.
No new BG.
New arena (Coliseum type)
Two new raids at launch, one in Avaloren (Two bosses) and another one in Kalimdor (Nine bosses).

Why do the Khaz Algar earthen have their own elementals?

They likely don't belong to the earthen there, more than likely they're an elemental found near Khaz Algar.

[Woggmer]

Because it’s not a gryphon. The Stormrider is an elemental.

...What about an Elemental Gryphon?

[ImTheMizAwesome]

I mean, wouldn't blizzcon elemental mount + preorder mount be both elementals a little too much?

I mean anything can happen, but 2 elemental reskin mounts seem kinda boring.

[Teriz]

Seems like Khaz Algar is below ground, though. Wouldn't earth elementals make more sense?

Khaz Algar likely has an above ground area as well, like all Dwarven settlements.

The heroic mount from Shadowlands was the exact same model as the taxi service mount found throughout the Shadowlands. No recolor, no added effects, nothing, it's the EXACT same model. Let's not pretend that Blizzard doesn't have it in them to be lazy when it comes to mounts. At least the ice elemental and the storm elemental would look different.

I genuinely believed that with the access to AI, this leak season will be wild - new, high-quality logos will appear every week. So far, it's a bit lackluster

The main issue is that producing images with AI takes very little meticulousness, but producing a convincing image will require quite a bit of meticulousness and patience. These images may also need a bit of editing to be very convincing, and a couple of iterations to look like what they're supposed to be.

Leaks are mostly revolving around logo's and unfortunately, generative AI is still quite bad at properly generating text in combination with an image.
