Here is the Battle for Azeroth features overview trailer for reference for the 4 zone pics

lmao, stop overanalyzing pictures, you people sound almost shizo

"AI in my walls, AI in my walls, AI in my walls!!!"

What should we do instead? What do you expect from this yearly hype thread?

Ohhh, I see.
I was thinking there was some text leak with it talking about actual features. Thank you for clearing that up for me.

Yeah, that looks vastly superior to those asstastic pics.

And that was what? 6-7 years ago?

Everyone, the image is most certainly fake and used AI generation. Let me point out a few notes:
1. Pallets are not consistently square and flat; uniform. We see plenty of pallets that have edges not uniform, chunks missing, pallets bending, pallet corners missing.
(A) The pallet on the bottom left has a board under the pallet, which corner is floating? Or the corner is extended?
(A.1) The lower board on the bottom left is mixing with the box, so the AI doesn't know if it is part of the box or pallet. Creating a warped carboard box.
2. Most of the shadows are incorrect in the image. Namely you can have a field day with the cardboard boxes towards the bottom/middle part of the image.
(A) Espectially the tallest stacked box, has an angular shadow that does not have consistency with any other shadow in the image.
3.The pallets in the bottom right of the photo is a big mess
(A) The pallet under the cardboard boxes, has a huge rising chunk coming out of the pallet.
(A.1) The "tree' is sitting on top of multiple pallets. At least 3-4 plallets are meshed in with each other.
(A.2) The black pallet is severely warped. I've worked with these black pallets before and they dont' typically do this to this degree, There'd be more supports under a heavy load such as this.
(A.3) The two stacked wooden pallets seem real but the tree is on the wooden pallet and black pallet at the same time? Seems like the black flooring has meshed into the top of the wooden pallet with the rightmost tree.
4. The pallets behind the left most tree, has some odd warping? You can see the pallet floating on a grey artifact, but right next to it is a black and red top tote, but the tote is touching the ground and can't be seen "under" the floating box?
5. Biggest dead giveaway is the homo sapeins standing in the middle of the photo. The left most person has warping over their head, with the cardboard being pulled into the warp. Creating a cardboard box halo.
(A) The middle most man in the middle has his legs spread, with color balance being wrong between the legs, AND the pallet dissapears between his legs.
6. This is obviously a blurry photo. At this rate ANY blurry photo is flagged as "most likely fake"
7. There may be missing lighting, there's only 1 lighting can shown. For a photo to be actually this bright, there'd be a lot more lights shown in this photo

Some other notes, When you're working on a set or scene like this, especially with a forklift, there'd be a lot more safety equipment present.
Notes: I also edit photos often and have used AI. i know it's quirks and this photo reaks of the quirks I experience when editing clients photos.

As I said above, I've been in the warehousing/logistics business for a long time; I disagree with some of your assertions:

There is no such thing as continuity in pallets. Especially if its stuff that was pulled from storage, possibly staged in another location then brought to the CC, those pallets are gonna get chipped, chunk, split, etc. It just happens.

As for safety equipment, it depends on the area, but nothing in that image made me go "wow, where is X?" If we were seeing actual construction, maybe, but we also don't see a lot of elevated work, it's a fairly low ceiling and if lighting has already been rigged we wouldn't see a cherry picker for example (which has inherent safety needs).

I am not disagreeing that it could be fake, it very well maybe, AI is insane. But I think the other points are not absolute.

To be fair, there's nothing else to do but overanalyze :P

That's the entire point of a speculation thread

Tbh, what gives me some hope for the stage leak, is how inconsistent "the mistakes" are. If we check DALL-E images from this thread you can clearly see patterns. This one's weirdness may as well be "human factor", shit lightning and blur.

Ladies and Gentlemen, synchronise your leak watches.

Hola babes! Anything new?

Someone took a picture of the convention space being set up.
A lot of people think it is AI. Imo it's real.

Beat me to it.

I will add, LOL.

I like to play a game: Pause litterally whenever in that video, and except for those map shots at the beginning, I don't think you can get a single frame without a few obviously new models/skeletons

Allegedly! It could be AI but we are currently deciphering that

This (real/fake) image from the convention center:

[Nibelheimy]

Imagine this scenario:

The 4 images are real, tinker is later revealed as a new class. Teriz has spent a week doing everything he can to insult these 4 images. Now he realises, he has to defend them with his life. He now has to convince the forum that he knew they were real all along, how all the evidence pointed to it, how he was only kidding when he said all of the current evidence pointed to a yrel Lightbound invasion and that was likely what was coming.

On a more serious note not directed at anyone in particular. Let's not cry over 4 static images plz.

One of the few themes I would actually be unhappy with!

Honestly the only thing that is weird to me is the pallet stacking under the right column. It seems the grey and unpainted pallets are stacked; why'd you place something heavy atop three pallets? Good luck moving it. Ofc a pallet mover could be right behind the column and it could just be getting moved.

Someone pointed out that these exist in game around the Bronze dragon area already.
