The War Within 11.X Patches & World Soul Saga Speculation Thread

Probably Rumble Day 2.

Nope, to quote MrGM, today "is more of a WoW day", but not sure it's an official media event or anything, might just be a set of tours or something as I don't think there's a ton of people going today compared to the Rumble event (e.g. I don't think Liquid Max is going). Don't get your hopes up.

Why is it always on an angle lmao

To be fair, the idea of a CGI Cinematic with the sea and zooming into the depths to the dagger and then THAT happening would be pretty 11/10.

Not that it would ever happen, but you know.

That logo aint it

Ughh if only this was real… it looks so sick

So it could be easier to hide it's some AI fakes.

Kinda hard to hide the fact that it's a completely different design in each picture

[flan1337]

I thought of that, but Touchpadwarrior doesn't seem to have any pictures of day 1

probably invited by an employee to visit the campus. hell even the blizzard CEO @ him on twitter shocked he was in Cali and wanted to say hi

It's crazy that it is already October 5th! We are getting so close, now. As much as I enjoy the "early leaks," I kind of hope we don't get anything else until the official Blizzcon announcement.

The black corners irritate me. As if this was taken straight first and then rotated.

At least they used the right WIP overlay. Even if the colour came out rather grainy.

That's how I feel too. I'm not trying to get my hopes up for a Void expansion but I want a Void expansion and purple everywhere so bad.

I think this is the first leak season that we still have absolutely no clue about what the next expansion will be. Not even the datamined stuff is that much of a clue

I am more so shocked that anyone thinks this is even close to how WoW looks.

Cinematic can definitely look that way.
I am all up for darker.

smth about %storm%

The problem is that Blizzard stated that they don’t want that for an expansion theme.

Looks like a void creature done in the same aesthetic as the demon in the WoD cinematic. The cinematics are always hyper-realist takes on the more stylized in game versions. I don't think it's real though but it totally fits with how the cinematics look.

[huth]

I am more so shocked that anyone thinks this is even close to how WoW looks.

Even if we give that it is an Old God, that would mean the cinematic is just what, the Old God rising out of the sea and monologuing at us? That's a bit... boring.

Once more and more people have access to promo material (posters, signage, etc) I think we'll get our first obviously real leak about a week out from the event.
