    yes, but can't ignore the part where it could've been used to compile the images together

    some aspects just seem too high effort to me

    the runic symbols of the claws on the dwarf carved in, the almost perfect blizzard-like glow

    idk, exciting nontheless!

    It's actually easier to do that in mspaint than in photoshop ngl

    An expansion concept based on K'aresh

    I mean it was not off for WoD. Everything we did in WoD only affected an alternate universe. The only thing that mattered was that Gul'dan got to our timeline.

    10.3/10.2.9? Fated Season, 12-15 weeks (4 or five rotations)
    11.0 2-3 weeks before launch.

    This means 40-44 weeks which means next expansion at 13/8-10/9/24
    Tbh I wanna see the expansion by July or early August at the latest

    ik ik major hopium but again, im expecting a summer release because of 10.2 being possibly the last raid tier

    certain image formats + image encoders make deducing the source muddy (i cross referenced other imgur photos), but yeah in this case it almost certainly came from Photoshop!

    keep in mind tho, "edit" could just mean copy/pasting 4 images and then saving it out as a new image

    This really doesn't prove anything.

    The leak is a column of 4 different images put together.
    Obviously, the images had to be compiled with something.

    Eh, why would you use photoshop for something like that though? Any basic image app will do it and do it faster.

    For a screencap.
    Metzen comes on stage, does his trademark 'Horde! Alliance' speech. Tells how its good to be back and how important the 'War' part in Warcraft. He smiles in his beard, then tells about some screenshots around the internet about 'some Avaloren'.
    He then tells 'The war is coming. See what is next for World of Warcraft'.
    Then we see the feature trailer with revamped zones, playable Ethereals, armies of Light coming out of the Dark Portal and armies of the Void coming out of the dark purple realm rifts.
    Title is 'Shadows of Azeroth'.
    The whole hall goes crazy, screaming 'Chris! Chris!!! WoW is back!" and then forming the giant word "POGCHAMP". Metzen comes back in a purple and gold SoA shirt, tearing up, and raising up the Doomhammer in his hand.

    agreed, that's why i thought it was worth posting. Photoshop doesn't mean it is fake, but it's weird

    Yes I agree, but there is also some image degradation due to how it was exported, it would have been easier and cleaner to do in paint if they wanted to do it as one image or just upload the images seperately, I didnt realise as I didnt look at the actual image that it was just 1.

    Anyway im going back to just lurking, I'm slowly losing interest in WoW overtime, although I managed to finish Yakuza 6 tonight, it was great fun, LAD tomorrow.

    I'll be upfront, I really don't see that as an issue. I have fun playing a new season or expansion. IT doesn't matter to me if the new expansion is a year out to two years out, as long as there isn't a massive gap in content. Thus far, there hasn't been a massive gap in content, and Dragonflight feels like I've had more content even if it's a shorter experience over all.

    The plan to rotation out Mythic+ dungeons has done such a good job at keeping me invested in the seasons.

    I also feel like i remember ppl saying something abt the image data or artifacts were tampered with in the Bolvar shadowlands leak too and people claimed fake

    and then we obviously saw how that turned out

    idk what exactly the argument was, but i would say fake just yet based on something like this!

    ps. not specifically trying to target you Picle, just replyting to continue this conversation

    I think thats fine to have continous content, i just dont want to see fated take the place of actual new content and last as long as a raid tier would have

    fated is cool, but it should be filler not a replacement for a brand new raid and new developed content whilst we still have to wait 2 years for the next thing

    This is why the modern version of "leak season" would be wonderful to be shot in the foot for a long time.

    It usually causes the opposite. I can't think of the last expansion that lived up to the version in people's minds over the 2-3 months of speculation and wish lists since Legion.

    If we found a way to create fakes that are indistinguishable from reality, not trashy AI and not total asset reuse minus one dinosaur, imagine how much more exciting things would be when people are forced to discount everything.
    Yeah i have a feeling those pics are fake and that whatever is at Blizzcon will be hype. Revamp or not.

    As someone who still boots up GIMP when collaging images, I'd chalk it up to force of habit. By the time I think about using Paint or something, I've already got the program open and the first image in place.
    confirmed by my uncle nitnendo and masahiro samurai

    they are so high-balling, if it is a mediocre Avaloren Island Expension, we gonna have a field day of hating.
    I don't think they would do that if they expected it to be mid. They always hype the reveal up but this year it feels like they are hyping into overdrive.

    Either the reveal will be amazing.
    Or they are truly the out of touch with the player base.

    Is there any reason every is certain the expansion name will be "SoA"?

It acts like a bridge in the same way Sylvanas flying off in BfA, before the N'zoth conclusion, did.
    similarly, archimonde sending alternate gul'dan through the black gate at the end of wod.
