Midnight 12.X Patches & World Soul Saga Speculation Thread

[ro9ue]

I dunno, to me they all look like zones that already exist with some copy pasted assets over top.

Go look at Vol'dun. Go look at Zuldazar. Grizzly Hills.

Think this ain't it the more I look at it.

[Woggmer]

Have we seen that big dino in game or a datamined model?

Only the Battle Pet, baby version which is in the Time Rifts event.

So the fact that there's an adult version of it propped next to it and there isn't any record of the adult version in Wowhead.

[Ashapls]

The bad news is, almost every single take just keeps tanking how I feel about the human race.

Welcome to the deepfake/ AI ease-of-access fake world. Don’t believe your lyin eyes

[ro9ue]

I am really curious about what is sticking out of the back of the mountain dwarfs back. This could potentially be AI generated with some photoshop work added in, but this is still impressive if that's the case.

Looks like an overpaint of the Stormheim statues.

[Chickat]

If theres no revamp and its just 4 zones AGAIN, they bette have a killer feature or im going to be underwhelmed tbh.

[Northelim]

Someone just made a thread about potential 11.0 zones

Hmmm that kind of looks legit. AI would not be able to fake the WoW Art style this perfect. However, the issue is that I do not see anything underground related which is giving me the read flag.

Perhaps they are reusing a lot of assets because most of the dev time is going into a world revamp. /copium

[Jolly Roger]

There is a lot of stuff that looks off the more you look at it. It's all very flat, even for a screenshot. Take a look at the second picture to the right. There is a cat of some sort that is way to flat.

people nitpicked like this about both SL and DF leaks

Sticking out where? I just see him raising a hammer in the air.


Man these are the best kinds of things during leak season. Well done stuff we can really look at and dig into and argue over.

[PotHockets]

In the third picture on the right in the background is that same Algarin or whatever the hell it was from the website leak. So if this is legit and it kinda looks like it is then that website is also legit but I could have sworn someone admitted to faking it.

Absolutely. Up there with 'ghost fleet invading Stormwind'

[Teriz]

The trees look reused, but that's it.

The trees, the rocks, and the mist effects. Only difference is the ground has more colors.

Also the 4th pic looks like the more wooded areas of Ohn'ahran plains....

[Leowyld]

If they are real, I'm guessing the second one is Khaz Algar, or the same zone as it. And maybe the last one is either where Eonar tried to plant her tree or that one dragon flew through the storms and landed (or maybe the two are one and the same)

[Demonly]

Can someone with access to the game right now check the bird statues in Ohn'ahran Plains to see if they match the one in the second screenshot?

kinda?

[Hitei]

We're at the phase where people are giving completely design-illiterate takes in response to something that may or may not be real and that is impossible to parse at a low resolution.

The good news is, that means it's a good time to start anticipating a real smoking gun soon if this isn't it. (Blue-Eyes White Bolvar is totally a photoshop, those Dracthyr are from Second Life, etc.)

The bad news is, almost every single take just keeps tanking how I feel about the human race.

Look, you're gonna be hard pressed to convince me this shit isn't photoshopped:



Look at those blurs.

[Biomega]

Never going to believe anything low-res.

Not in this day and age.

That's just done to make it harder to detect fakes.

Dracthyr were low res at first

[Woke it Up]

If this is claiming to be from the announce cinematic as per the top screenshot, then shouldn't the other three have the names too?

[Woggmer]

I don't think Blizz ever hinted at Underground stuff... but they certainly hinted at the whole West of Kalimdor stuff.

...Unless, this is some Bronze Dragon Time-Travel Shenanigans...

[Mecheon]

And maybe the last one is either where Eonar tried to plant her tree

There's a pretty big chance the tree site is Un'goro
