    Just like how Blizzard wouldn't design the Dracthyr the way they did right?

    And yet somehow you keep managing to post updates, new information, and comments on how things look.

    Folks did the same kind of deep analysis on the Dracthyr model, as well as the in-game screenshot of the new UI with the reagent bag slot. I'm not saying that automatically proves it's legit, but if you have to squint at some of the comparisons, you're probably grasping at straws.

    Also, many of the model comparisons in the initial tweet are a big stretch. The staircase in the leaked screenshot is so far back in the environment you can't really tell. Also the bronze neck piece on the direhorn is the same/similar texture to the railing, but it's an entirely different shape.

    As far as some of the smaller stuff like butterflies and the titan golem; there have always been re-used models and props in new expansions to a certain extent. Blizzard has never made an entirely new suite of assets for every existing thing in a new expansion before. The same concept applies to the titan architecture. Why make new titan assets for a titan pillar with an orb on top if you have a version of the same thing you made for Dragonflight?

    The battle pet version has a similar collar.

People still act like retexturing or redoing these things is only a thing leakers/modders or literally any one in the Community can do, whilst using this as an excuse to have a point. When the reality is that every time somebody wants to go on about how lazy Blizzard is (not disputing that, more often than not, frankly) the constant retexturing, recoloring and re-using of assets which seems relatively natural and normal in today's world of game design, THIS is the literal first thing brought up to justify this view.

    The Tree reference is similar, but the structure of the branching is just ever so slightly different and the reference is literally.. kinda.. missing a branch.

    We know what the butterflies are and they are reused. Living World, was it?

    The Bridge or any of the titan structures being reminiscent or similar in design to DF stuff both is and isn't a stretch because... why would they change this on the expansion right after DF? The people here supposedly being heretics doesn't mean all the titanic structures suddenly also have to somehow look "heretical".

    The swirly on the Dino is a stretch.

    Yes, let's use the helmet as an example for the leaves, when Hitei literally already brought up how they are just 1:1 the same as from the Pet Dino's model, that is directly to it's left, not some Zandalar helmet that also happens to have leaves with an entirely different pattern.

    Do we comment on the Golems? They just got updated? If they are going to use Golems again, there is zero reason to come up with a completely new model when they JUST uprezzed them again? They typically don't seem to update these things, unless it is A.) Vital for visual coherency or B.) they can keep using this thing for a while after.
    I agree that the swirly thing and the tree branches aren't 1:1 matches. But they're close, and could easily be altered. It's also plausible that there are other similar models in the game that she couldn't find, but which more closely match those two.

    Everything else is pretty damning. The pillars are exactly the same, so is the bridge. The butterflies are all right to re-use, no big deal. But Marlamin suggested earlier I think that we only had green ones so far, or something like that? Correct me if I'm wrong Marlamin.

    The dinosaur, arguably the model meant to be the standout feature of the image, can be created by a decent enough Photoshop artist using the leaves from the Wildhammer helmet, and by creating a skin texture. At least for a still frame such as this, where we can't scrutinize it from other directions.

    A titan-esque triceratops's neck embelishment would not be coherent with their recently newly established ways of embelishing anything titanic.

    Mop was also the worse selling expan ever and lost a lot of subs.

    It’s looked back on fondly now but it’s pretty undeniable that it wasn’t as popular as any other expan idea.

    Dragon flights lack of sales numbers not withstanding of course.

    There's various colors of butterflies including blue ones, but not as blue as the ones in the screenshot.

    That's surprising, I feel like people don't bother to post their leaks on 4chan anymore these days.

    Hopefully it's still there tomorrow when I can update the spreadsheet. I'm in bed right now so no can do.

    The big one in the screenshot has regular horns, and completely lacks the rocky shape. It just has a similar looking texture, and some leaves that were copy-pasted on to its head.

    Which would be easily adjusted by altering colours for a bit in Photoshop, though.

    I think that a clever leaker could realize the triceratops pet was based off some model that doesn't exist yet, and reskinned a regular trike to resemble the baby.

    It doesn't look like a new model, it looks like a reskin... like most of this goddamn leak. All reskinned shit with nothing new.
