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.
The BlizzCon site is still down?
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.
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

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.
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.
