    I do believe the 4 pics are real just because I truly hate them and if I keep hoping they're not, I might be up for a huge disappointment. And I came to terms with the scissor fingers of that WotLK resolution stone dwarf, the pixelated tree model, everything. BUT.. I just can't get over the fact how this particular part of the picture looks like. Like wtf is that? Typical AI silhouette. Curious..

    That surely plays a big part. But also traditional forums like mmo champ simply aren't popular anymore.

    My take remains that these are probably AI generated terrain bases (like someone prompted "wow zone") and then took those pictures and photoshopped in assets from a model viewer.

    'Tis the era of Discord. Just like League replaced WoW sometime around 2011 and everyone presumed that the massive crater around Cataclysm was 100% based on its quality, when it probably wasn't. Times change.

    Sadly, people are always going to read what they want to from data without clear causality. Don't like DF's tone or theme? Clearly it was what turned people away, not people who didn't return from SL! You do like it? Well clearly it had no issues whatsoever and it's all on SL!

    Like borrowed power systems? Clearly the lack of them is why people aren't playing, damn those streamers and poopsockers! Don't like them? Some other mental gymnastics will be found.

    There's plenty they can use to hook us into Avaloren.
    Maybe Thrall, being the quintessential shaman clears the storms for us. Maybe Iridikron/Xal'atath/Azshara or other baddies are trying to use some Mcguffin on Avaloren to try and push back titan influence or corrupt the world soul etc.

    I dont agree, there is always a big push right before blizzcon. For example we reached 3k on the day of Blizzcon in 2019 with the last day adding 200+ pages

    1. a place where people who stopped playing World of Warcraft 10 years ago gather to tell those who still enjoy the game, how bad it is right now.

    Will we make it to 2500 before the expansion reveal?

  8. #41328
    2500? I guess. 3000? Only with some new interesting leak...

    Azeroth is healing and we decide to go to Avaloren with Tir to chase Iridkron while he taunts the Titans to come.They do and see that Chromie fucked up the timeline by saving Nozdormu and Aman'Thul decides to blast Azeroth , so we have to fight against the titans with Illidan and Sargeras coming back on our side and Iridikron in a 3 way fight.

    (totally real and not my head cannon)

    Incoming bombshell on the 11.0 zones. I am now fully convinced they are fake.

    Hmmm they probably mean “cosmic” as in the cosmic gear from late Shadowlands.

    what do you mean by this

  13. #41333
    I keep checking in here periodically and at this point I really hope none of the leaks are real. It would be great for something completely unspeculated upon to come out of left field.

    Uh if there was there would be a hook now, not after it’s released and we know the plot.

    Every WoW expansion before had a hook before announcement. It’s amusing watching people try to pretend that it’s totally normal for Avaloren not to have one.

    I think he means there is an incoming bombshell about the images and he now thinks they are fake.

    But I guess I can't say for sure.

    To be fair, that can happen with the OG style of "leaks" too though.

    Could also be cosmic like moon and star and stuff, would fit in the theme of 10.2, emerald dream, elune perhaps

    This would indeed be amazing. I know we'll be surprised about something at BlizzCon regardless as there's more stuff being announced than 11.0, but if 11.0 is completely out of left field that would only make it better.
