    Don't see why the direhorn makes it real honestly. It's a new model, but it's also much easier to fake one when you can both copy the style of an available model, and you don't have to animate more than a still frame.

    They did use this bottom justified text for the Shadowlands feature overviews, which highlighted the zones/afterlives. That being said, it's interesting they chose to specify "Avaloren" over each individual zone, which I suppose makes sense with it being a brand new continent reveal, but it would imply that there are other key features they'd want to highlight.
    Well, we can only assume that all four zones come from the trailer video. The first one seems to be undeniable due to the appearance of the text (mid-animation), but the rest? It's safe to accept that the same person that had access to this trailer video could very well have also access to other media assets and the 3 other images are stand-alone ones, meaning, not part of the video, right? Especially that the dwarf and dino just standing there in the picture feel a little bit... odd.

There is no "problematic" here when they can just take the EK Kalimdor set and shove them into their own Chromie time world server. They just went about restoring a bunch of Cata removed stuff to the world this very patch because they want to undo removing content forever, and have been steadily adding back lost dungeon and raid stuff.
    cata classic would make the old zone stays

    Agreed. If this stuff is real, Blizzard have really missed the mark regarding what the playerbase actually wants (again lol).

    I hope not. That was the mistake Cataclysm made. A world revamp should utilize the revamped zones.

    you're not alone (: i'm sure nostalgia skews our opinions somewhat, but it's similar with the music imo. a lot (but not all) of the recent tracks sound like "video game music" to me. as in, they don't stand on their own very well. whereas older xpacs felt more like a musical rendition of the zone, like Azuremyst Isle

    Yeah this. If anything I'm on more on board with the Aerie Peak Eagle being matched up because it aligns with the leak stating it was a Lordaeron and North Revamp with boats and the new continent. That's ALOT of fun stuff at once. That builds hype.

    If this is fake this is really convincing.

    Old World revamp has always been a background buzz, but it's something that only really became widespread in Dragonflight.

    It's hard to hit a mark that showed up years after work on the expansion already started.

    Don't know if this was posted, but someone said that on one of the last patches on PTR the area of Tirisfal Glades were just detached from the rest of the continent, which reminds of BfA Test zones, that had some erros happening on that zone and on Western Plaguelands, strange lines cut on the zones (Could be that if it's indeed a World Revamp, they are working on it for quite sometime)

    Same way Tuskarr and Centaur were on the Isles, I guess. shrug

    In these screenshots, or what are you referring to? Also, regarding your earlier comment about a revamp needing new zones, I whole heartedly agree, but didn't someone in Blizzard state that was an issue with Cataclysm? Causing the players to kinda hop around areas often?

    If it's screenshots of the trailer, why not pick the exciting ones showing off new architecture and iconic locations?

    Imagine if someone leaked the DF zones, but all we saw were the Blizzard bear on a bit of snow, a tuskarr in front of a normal tree, and Merithra in one of the areas of Ohn'ahran plains that looked suspiciously like Val'sharah.
    Why wouldnt said person take a picture of the Bronze temple, Valdrakken, an aerial shot of the Waking Shores, or the giant eagle statue looming over Maruukai.

    It's just a weird choice all around when the pictures seem to be high enough quality to could be taken from a legitimate source, and not hastily taken a picture off while trying not to be caught.

    I have suspected Khaz Algar is just an excuse for the devs to make HD Dwarf assets that would be reused for revamped EK/Kalimdor. So even if the revamp isn't in 11.0, if this leak is real then the updated eagle statue is just something that will later be used in a revamp.

    Which zone from the leak is y'alls favorite?

    Personally I like that badlands looking zone. Would be cool if it has a wild west theme to it.

    Assuming this is true of course

    Right before the eggs come out of their 'conceiver', they lay on the floor at the correct angle. Then they shoot the eggs across the sea towards Avaloren.
    Sorry, but some imagination please.
    I will not reply to posts that are non-constructive or contain flaming and/or trolling.

    You know did the legion also ever invade Avalon? Or do the storms cover Avalon?
