a lot of people are going to be very happy

Did this post give you a serotonin boost? I really don't get why people do this shit.

Like I said, they would have to specifically try hard to find the place with so many reused assets that would fit into one screenshot.
And then whoever is responsible for preview should have given them the greenlight.
Which would be a mindboggling chain of incompetent decisions since clearly many people find those shots pretty boring and uninspiring.

Three options here: they are fake; they are the best shot they got of the zones; they are early "drafts"

I went over a quick list of what's being announced, most surprising was "Classic+" is actually real.

Who will be happiest? Those who believe the 4, or those who doubt the 4?

But which people Mr. Blizzcon? Which people?

Who's mans is this

[Uncle Toot]

• The Dwarf has two hair colors (white and dark brown). Looks weird.
• Doesn't match Warcraft's style. Looks nothing like Warcraft dwarves, who have far more pronounced facial features. Compare this to the dwarves from Vanilla or BfA cinematics.
• Strange holes on his cheeks (AI does this type of thing a lot).
• Lack of direction and bad composition. This looks like it's supposed to be an important shot with whatever he's holding, but he's not even centered properly and he's looking away with his mouth closed and not showing any emotion.

Fair points, but I don't think he's a dwarf. The silvery, reflective skin, the blue eyes, and the differing hair color makes me think he'll be a new character who will end up factoring into the story of the expansion.

As far as the art style, look at Koranos in the DF cinematic as an example. If a random frame from that cinematic was leaked, I think a lot of people would claim Koranos looks like something from Ubisoft or another studio--certainly not very Warcraft-y.

After the events of BfA, N'zoth is greatly weakened and now follows the player around for an entire expansion as a LoZ Navi-esque pet.

"Hey, listen! The Void beckons."

There is a 98.56% probability that N'zoth could choose an even more annoying companion to emulate.

He's aiding in boosting the amount of pages we get before Blizzcon. The hero we deserve.

Bro, you can't disrespect him like that. That's Mr Blizzcon, he's the whole shabang, head hancho, the big cheese.

I'm surprised that the "Blizzcon" name wasn't taken already.

"Warcraft 3: Reforged: Overhaul"

Like I said, they would have to specifically try hard to find the place with so many reused assets that would fit into one screenshot.

Which would be a mindboggling chain of incompetent decisions since clearly many people find those shots pretty boring and uninspiring.

Not to mention it'd almost certainly be accompanying an announcement of no 10.3 (which barring a major surprise that it's actually happening, is going to dampen the expansion unveil no matter what unless whatever it is exceeds all expectations). In a way, they're going into the announcement tomorrow playing defense already. I sincerely hope we don't see an interview where Ion claims 10.0.7 + 10.1.7 or Fated raids are equivalent to an actual major patch.

Yeaaah you're gonna need proof for that, chief.
