    I think the general feeling is that it looks nice but it doesn't make up for it being the 20th anniversary so we expect something grandiose?

    oh wow, those zones looks not bad

    Last two screenshots remind me of Gorgrond north and south, which I love since I loved that zone

    I don't get why people are underwhelmed if this was to be true. It already looks way better than DF did with the DF leaks. At least I didn't literally laugh out loud like when I saw the Drac'thyr models.

    As others have mentioned, I do wonder if this could be 10.3. However, surely 4 zones of this much variety is too much for a patch? Argus had 3 but they all looked pretty much the same right? A 10.3 of this magnitude could keep people tied over till next November though.

    Proof to me that it's an AI re-production of the dragon isles concept art please when the Titan/Dwarf guy matches the image screenshots leaks as well?

    Hell, I'll give you 5,000 gold via cross realm trade if this turns out to be fake.
    Gimme a bit and I will make an explanatory visual, although I don't know how convincing it will be if you happen to have no art background.

    I don't mind them either, but I'm pretty easily satisfied when it comes to WoW art.

    oh! also!
    it's the name of the scientist that created the Mogwai from the Gremlins movie novelization.

    Those pillars with the lights on top in the last image, can those be found anywhere in-game on live or in the files but unused?
    And I mean that looks exactly like that, not just similar.

    Not in that exact form, no. But the model it is based on, yes.

    These screenshots got me wondering, what are everyones expectations for the zone size (and amount) in new content (besides world revamp)?

    Like I would definitely prefer them to be the size of Azure Span since I love big zones (and not every step feels like something will attacks you like in some recent expac zones).
    But I would also like them to go back to what we had in legion regarding number of zones and have a max level only zone from launch

    Its because the leak seems to not be swiftly put together and is mostly tailored to fans of vague continents
    I will not reply to posts that are non-constructive or contain flaming and/or trolling.

    They certainly look pretty, the art team is hardly ever to blame.

    It's not doing it for me, this looks very dull and... meh.
    Also: on the desert screenshot where the harpy is, on the right part there is a humanoid in "attack" stance that looks so OFF. Like the perspective and everything it looks like it was inserted manually. Same for the gryphons, same for the butterflies.

    What's more likely?

    A - Four screenshots that seem to feature re-used, low-quality, and modified fan art based on old in-game assets, put together incohesively and without much to distinguish them from what we already have in the Dragon Isles, end up being real and leaking the 10th expansion coming out on WoW's 20th anniversary, co-written by Chris Metzen.

    B - It's fake and somebody who reads the speculation on this forum, and is good at these things, did it to have a bit of fun.
    Holy cognitive dissonance. This is the one. This is it.

    Revamping a section of the world, such as northern Eastern Kingdoms per the leak, alongside the traditional expansion release makes a lot more sense to me than trying for a full world revamp all at once which was an internal development disaster during Cata and left the actual expansion into a disjointed mess.
