The War Within 11.X Patches & World Soul Saga Speculation Thread

That's the cosmic forces imo. But could be the Titan pantheon i suppose.

I tend to think it’s the cosmic forces also.

Six seats at the high table. Six mouths that hunger.

Azeroth is the high table, the six mouths are each of the main cosmic forces trying to claim it. imo

How are you guys so good at detecting AI images? I'm still at the point where a good AI flat earth image would make me doubt everything I have ever learned at school. I, for the life of me, could not see the AI slop in that picture before being told by the posters.

In game screenshot and art it's checking difficult details like hands, details that are too perfect/generic, patterns of warping that look sorta like smearing. The four image leak is hard to call Ai because everything looks consistent. The website is slightly more generic and smaller details seem a bit more sus.

The four image leak could still use ai, but it would be a specifically trained one for specific assets bit by bit with extra editing which at some point it's easier just to do the art. So it's not really much to suggest it's ai generated.

IRL is even harder to fake well with ai especially with lots of details, smaller details or weird inconsistencys are time consuming to remove, and as with the game one it's eventually just editing.

Dont think anyone posted this today but blizzcon got an updated final updated map!

So, the 2 demo areas are confirmed now, I'm guessing 1.15 and 11.0 playable at the event and Cata Classic is announce only maybe?

No Diablo demo area kinda puts damper IMO on there being an expac with a new class.

Because they're incredibly easily detectable?

This is what I would guess as well. Going by their previous timings Cata is probably 5-6 months out and 1.15 is obviously dropping much much sooner given how long its been around and how quickly SOM1 released after announcement.

1.15 is actually World of Diablo with sanctuary and Diablo classes built into wow's engine, but don't tell anyone.

This thread went full skitzo today. There's been like 3 separate sets of accounts arguing with themselves pretending to be different. It's either impressive, concerning, or both

New zone leak.

Rocks in the left bottom looks painted for it to be an engine, water looks in-engine for it to be a concept art.
The whole location looks like Tiragarde Sound to the T.
Now i 99% sure this is fake and this guy made those 4 screenshots as well, so they are fake too.
Its 5 screenshots now, and every single one of them looks like an existing location+shit ton of reused assets. I see the pattern and its way too obvious to not be a well done fake.

A lot of pages while i slept, anything new?

Best not to look unless you have eyebleach on hand.

I'm sure others mentioned this, but looking closer at this image.. The rock textures look more like they were painted than digital. This is like if a level was designed Bob Ross style.

Even that tree on the far right looks like it was painted in the background rather than actual 3D pixel.

This guy made the 4 screenshots? What's the source on that?

I'd play it.

Another possible Nerubian connection in the new book, not necessarily related to 11.0 but they've definitely added a little more Northrend lore in the book. Not sure this would qualify as "a hook" but interesting nonetheless.

Think of it like looking at one of those puzzle booklets that has a random assortment of junk piled together and you have to find a specific items.

Look for inconsistencies in the style, warps, additional fingers, stuff that can be masked at a distance but noticeable up when you zoom in.

When you start to look at a lot of examples of AI art, you will start to notice a pattern with some of them and pick up things quickly. Kinda like a Movie Critic when they see a bunch of movies back to back non-stop.

Pretty much this, just woke up, 40 new pages.

Looking at the Blizzcon map, I hope this is evidence that the Deeprun Rat City will finally be accessible.
