Which leak do we consider to be the concrete one? The three photos?

The 4 photos with the stone dwarf and rock dino.

Also still on this one

A single item in one of the presentation slides that is slightly mechanical that certain individuals will claim finally proves Tinkers are real.

You just became this meme

The dance studio wouldn't be popular with zoomers, but an emote wheel absolutely would.

I was having a chat with someone ingame last night and just being able to change our character's poses while standing around would do numbers

[Colonel Sandor]

I've seen some damn convincing stuff made on private servers, so it wouldn't surprise me if the 4 screenshots are faked.

Like the housing system and carpentry skill has great UI on that one private server.

[Draedarr]

Yeah I've seen most of it via Hayven... god I miss that guy. He always used to dig around and find some of the best hidden WoW content.

Cancer sucks man.

From time to time i open the videos to see, miss Hayven videos , Cancer really sucks , was such an amazing content creator

Agreed. If we could get some kind of built in TRP/RP Profiles that would be lit too because im tired of half the profiles being NSFW and the other half being so obviously created by a neurodivergent person that its nearly impossible to actually understand the person I am trying to RP with.
I am joking about the second part mostly

AFAIK It isn't even out yet, I won't go into further details but I did ALOT of research and I think they are expecting some kind of funding to make that trailer come to life fully.

FF14 has this and it's such a nice little feature.

But Blizz has problems with clipping and ill-fitting armor on default models... could not imagine how they would do at making sure armor doesn't horribly clip every time a pose changes.

The 4 photos with the stone dwarf and rock dino.

Yeah, I don't consider those legitimate anymore... They look too clean and staged... and even the shadows look off.

After seeing the recent 3 sceenshots with the Dwarf Druid in them, I'm convinced that one is the actual leaked expansions.

but I'm open to being wrong.

[Ferlion]

I don't think anyone of them are real, FWIW.

Yeah the lack of a poser/photo mode is wild when you think about it.

The Dwarf Druid is clearly greenscreen'd in via the wowhead Wardrobe with a combat animation. Also if you intend to show off your Druid why would you use a set from the new tier that most people haven't even (and still wont have t the time of Blizzcon) seen yet?

[Pinksocking]

Something strikes me about the last 3 pictures we got. IF (and it's a very big "if") the person is able to get that close to what looks like the reveal trailer, why not straight up take a short video, instead of well-timed photos?

Cuz it's fake mate lol

[Paula Deen]

Cuz it's fake mate lol

This. its the same guy from the other day with the snapchat caption saying only a few days till Avaloren. It is clearly the same AI Prompt with a very similar image and both times the images were filtered through photo lens shit because when you actually got clear views it was blurry painted crap texturing that would not have passed for acceptable in 2004 let alone now.

[Pinksocking]

So as someone who does not want to read through 2.4k posts is there a general consensus by the community which leaked info seems the most plausible/trustworthy? Because I am not going to lie, from what I have read and seen I am feeling kinda meh. Nothing about the "leaked screenshots" jumps out to me and makes me excited like expansions past... at the same time, HD updates to several of the creatures shown kinda fits in line with the past few expansions updating older creatures like Quillboar, hyenas, etc.

My gut tells me Blizzcon is going to be a let down though. My gut tells me its going to be another Dragonflight trailer that feels like it's lacking substance (Not saying Dragonflight was a bad expansion, I really enjoyed it the trailer just felt super boring) and that I am going to walk away feeling meh.

Idk, maybe I am just losing my love for WoW but it genuinely feels like its been a while since I have gotten really excited for an expansion.

They're all fake

You missed nothing

[Colonel Sandor]

Never forget when a dude straight up leaked WoD and everybody shunned him as a fake.

Makes me wonder if one of these scuffed posts is real.

[Stonecloak]

Same. I think we're going to be quite surprised.

[Zankai27]

They can try all they want. It was still said. It was the only thing that explained Archimonde's absence too besides regen and lets be honest he is an Eredar not a Borg Drone.

The person who said it isn't even there anymore and it's never come up again even a single time. It's time to let it go

They're not gonna WoD 2 and do a "if orcs didn't come to Kalimdor" thing right? Treating Dragonflight as MoP/Cata 2

It isn't about letting it go. I honestly do not (and have not since the end of Legion) had a respect for the current teams ability to respect in universe rules that they themselves set. That is a major issue. If I just assume the developers are (because they do) going to retcon or outright ignore things that do not make sense with a quest or story they are currently telling I lose a large amount of interest as a player because I know it won't matter.

I owned Chronicle 1 & 2. I have not bought a single Lore Book since because in 5 years they could just say 'lmao it was a Legion slanted text just ignor pls and gib 35-45 dollars for the book too'.

IMO that is inherently supremely more boring than anything else. Less races to manipulate the environment is less chance for fun stories.

If anything let me see what those Primals that got loose a few years ago did to the Wailing Caverns. I want to see.
