Midnight 12.X Patches & World Soul Saga Speculation Thread

No Xal or Alleria models = fakey fake.

No Xal or Alleria models = fakey fake.

Also, this. Alleria, we do not know if she will actually be in the cinematic (but she most likely will be).

However, Xal is going to be the main attraction of the cinematic, and they don't have a render for her? Doubt.

[extasy]

We'll mark this one down.

Yep we definitely should.

[Hitei]

There's being off-model and off-concept, which Lorthemar is.

I'd worry less about armor inconsistencies (though like, Turalyon's shoulder naaru things are a pretty big red flag) and more about the obvious self-contained visual errors:

What if there is render of her but it wasn’t screenshot?

Do we even know Xal will be the main attraction? It could be the Blood Elves cast of Avengers in the main role with Xal showing up briefly.

Yeah, it's the same with his shoulders and his gloves. The angles are completely off, which I could excuse for a drawn artwork, however, this is a 3D model.

That is all the supposed renders.

See here. You can see the "Add set to downloads" on the right of the Gamescom keyart, which only shows up after the last image.

That’s interesting, thank you.

In the cinematic she looks uncanny and 'off' with a completely different facial structure.

That is deliberate, she is supposed to be uncanny and unsettling.
She was also portrayed as such in Threads of Destiny and the launch/beta trailers.

There is a reason why the Gamescom teaser is cut like a horror movie.

But her having a slightly more expressive facial structure for, for a cinematic where she's supposed to speak in, is not the same as having a different model design altogether.
It's the same model, same armor, same details that match up perfectly with her concept design.

Whereas both Turalyon and Lor'themar are lacking in those details, as already pointed out several times.

Back from my trip to the capital. Are we still debating they fakeass AI art?

[Joshuaj]

7th Elves.

We don't even know what the 7th is btw

[Houle]

Yeah it looks pretty bad.

So even on the off chance that it is real....i would not be impressed. The Azshara design especially, instead of a proper Naga Azshara model, it would be yet another elf model. As if people havent seen that dozens of times.

This is gonna be a LONG Sunday...

Looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue

Pehaps the glue shall reveal the correct leak

[DiscipleofCazicThule]

Also, I still wonder what the deal with this leak was.

Everything about D4 is 90% accurate, however:



Obviously, nothing happened with that, however, could this have been proto-TWW?

IIRC, the D4 information was leaked earlier and this leak used it to make their leak look more real. I remember seeing the D4 leak and this one popping up that day or the next.

Quite worried that people need to zoom in, redraw certain parts, point at and name certain parts of an image to prove that an obvious AI image is an actual AI image.

[Ochinko]

I remember at the start of the leak season or couple weeks back we had a leak talking about the sky turning void and breaking down. Can someone find that one again? With the offical teaser trailer that one seems to be the most on point now.

Yeah, like all three images have that unexplainable hallmark appearance of AI, just like the Jailer images did. I don't like to use that term, but it's the soulless-ness.

[Lady Atia]

I'm starting to think that the cinematic art leaks might be real. At first I didn't think the designs matched the in-game models and official art work which is still true, but the same can be said of Xal'atath. In the cinematic she looks uncanny and 'off' with a completely different facial structure.

Lor'themar and Turalyon are grizzled but conventionally attractive in-game and in official art work, but the cinematic will probably make them 'off' and ugly, too.

?

Midnight HD Xal looks 100000 times better than her TWW cgi model, what are you even talking about?

That said, Faerin in TWW had an ugly cinematic model and an actual cute ingame model, tbf.

Interesting. I don't recall that one.
Shame there are no leak spreadsheets like before.
