    Yes, thats good one. No one is saying Blizzard would reuse assets. The problem is that in this specific pic there are too many details that are reused. The piece of Triceratops neck thing taken from some absolutely different object literally seals the deal. Blizzard wouldnt design the creature in that specific way.

    They aren't even the same swirl. Titan designs just use similar aesthetics.

    Again, why do you think a company creates merchandise for certain characters and zero merch for other characters? They've been making merch for Chen for almost 20 years now. You know why? Because it sells.

    You know why they've never made merch for Odyn? Because nobody cares about Odyn.

    Plus who's to say Odyn will be our familiar anchor to avaloren? What about Tyr???
    Tyr is even worse off than Odyn. Keepers don't move expansions because they're lifeless automatons. People care about actual (mortal) characters.

    I'm not saying the image was faked, but that the text has some problems and that could be an indication that the site is real in the sense of existing, but is just a fake site.

    Just like how Blizzard wouldn't design the Dracthyr the way they did right?

    And yet somehow you keep managing to post updates, new information, and comments on how things look.

    Folks did the same kind of deep analysis on the Dracthyr model, as well as the in-game screenshot of the new UI with the reagent bag slot. I'm not saying that automatically proves it's legit, but if you have to squint at some of the comparisons, you're probably grasping at straws.

    Also, many of the model comparisons in the initial tweet are a big stretch. The staircase in the leaked screenshot is so far back in the environment you can't really tell. Also the bronze neck piece on the direhorn is the same/similar texture to the railing, but it's an entirely different shape.

    As far as some of the smaller stuff like butterflies and the titan golem; there have always been re-used models and props in new expansions to a certain extent. Blizzard has never made an entirely new suite of assets for every existing thing in a new expansion before. The same concept applies to the titan architecture. Why make new titan assets for a titan pillar with an orb on top if you have a version of the same thing you made for Dragonflight?

    The battle pet version has a similar collar.

    The albatross in the spanish images is omega scuffed. Seems AI.

    A titan-esque triceratops's neck embelishment would not be coherent with their recently newly established ways of embelishing anything titanic.

    Mop was also the worse selling expan ever and lost a lot of subs.

    It’s looked back on fondly now but it’s pretty undeniable that it wasn’t as popular as any other expan idea.

    Dragon flights lack of sales numbers not withstanding of course.
    Evil only wins when it spreads. It can cause destruction, it can cause death—but those are consequences of its nature, not its victory. Not its goal. The danger of evil, the purpose of evil, is that it causes those who would oppose it to become evil also.

    Looks exactly like a small version of the Screenshot.

    There's various colors of butterflies including blue ones, but not as blue as the ones in the screenshot.
