Midnight 12.X Patches & World Soul Saga Speculation Thread

[Cheezits]

I will honestly be shocked if the title features Avaloren because it A) doesn't incite any interest from people as the term is new and B) Avaloren doesn't explain what the fuck it is in it's name unlike Pandaria

You hear Pandaria, you know what it is. Avaloren would make sense if it was like Avalon, but so far it isn't.

What would be their financial incentive to pay someone to do this?

It could be part of some internal damage control Community Manager campaign or something for all we know XD

You're right, we should call it Siege of Dwarfheim

Reject SoA, embrace WotB (Wrath of the Bolvar)

I still think Avaloren is just too new to be an expansion.

Since some still believe that image could even possibly be real, here's the giveaway that it's fake.

img ur.com/a/GvPRNUX

Bottom left: tape on a top where there's no flaps meeting. Not how boxes work.

Left side above: weirdly shaped box and pallet that merges into the floor. Not how physics works.

Left middle: weirdly shape gray and wood pallets merging into eachother. Unless they went through the teleporter from The Fly...

Middle: weird shapeless blob, idk this one is not definitive proof like the others but rather one of many weird artifacts.

Right: forklift is not carrying anything, it just has a weird shape attached to its front.

Bottom right: The grey pallet appears to be above the bottom wood one, but is not on top of anything. The perspective is completely off and the most obvious artifact of it being AI.

It's just, really, really obviously fake. Bookmark this post if you don't believe me. We'll see this friday.

Hope you’re right, and I want to believe it’s AI too, but still none of those reasons are solid or convincing enough. I get the fake/AI feeling also but those reasons aren’t 100%. Again, hope you’re right, otherwise it looks boring and ugly lol.

Edit: the spot you labeled “left side above” is the single most convincing reason/spot for it to be AI, to me. Everything else I have seen in real life.

Sounds like something Teriz would write.

That would be badass, but I want new races, can you add new races?

Idk what else to tell you, those are telltale AI signs. There are pallets merging into the floor. If that's not convincing enough, you'll just need to revise your beliefs once that image is proven to be fake this friday. I will be at blizzcon so I will report on friday morning whether the set looks like that or not lol

@Teriz about to throw a parade.

Maybe Blizzard has learned form Overwatch and realize R34 is a big money maker.

World of Warcraft: Studs for Anduin

It's very obviously AI. Easiest giveaway is that it's a square image. Phones don't take square pictures, but the Bing AI tool always outputs square images.

Except Tinker isn't limited to only his arbitrary race choices.

this is vaguely what I saw. This was a big banner, it was probably abit more zoomed in than I could put together in paint in 2 minutes.

she definitely looked evil, evil smirk, evil eyes. if you can find any similar art of xal'atath or a pale elf of any kind, please tag me so i can confirm or not. this may have been for the darkmoon faire area aswell, i am not sure. ill update if i find out more

They will make the same amount of money whether it leaks 1 week before announcement or not, especially if the "leak" is anything we've recently gotten, which have all been rather piecemeal.

Also, only terminally online fans of this specific game are going to be following any of this, which is at best a couple thousand people?

I don't see that happening.

(Not to spoil fun/discussion, sorry if my tone appears that way--just not really sure how else to phrase this response.)
