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

[Nyel]

Even if it's real it's not necessarily WoW related. Could be Diablo IV as well.

This doesn't really look like Diablo IV in my opinion.

Cardboard box perfectly sized to fit inside another cardboard box

[Nyel]

Can someone tell me where this came from?

[Sondrelk]

Crazy how during last BlizzCon everyone would be assuming that photo is irrefutably real, and now here we are.

Crazy how fast technology changes. By the time we get to Blizzcon 2025 I imagine AI generated images will only be truly caught by software designed to find them.

[Tanthalason]

None of the things people are pointing out that make this an AI generated image seem plausible to me. Maybe because I'm looking at it on my phone. I don't see any boxes fusing with wooden pallets. I think people have just forgotten how shitty cam photos look. My smartphone is like 6 years old, its photos are shit like this

I just noticed...look at the left void column at the bottom, the pallet/box is all warped next to the pallet the column is sitting on and the columns pallet itself appears to be somewhat wavy.

Checking out the background art...
in before this was not a fake

The guy who made it literally admitted that it was fake....

[blaatschaap]

Those AI generated ones you guys posted afterwards have all the fake humans looking around aimlessly. The original pic is more convincing in that regard imo. Still, the added dall e images have shaken my belief it is legit for sure

Agreed. Just to emphasize your point, I dropped contrast, motion blurred and did a bit of lens distortion on your DALL-E image, and it's pretty much the same quality. Another thing to note is the posted image's dimensions are 1024x768. Bing and DALL-3 output at 1024x1024. We'd imagine this was taken with a phone on set, which would be a completely different vertical dimension. Too many fake signs.



I think the backlash on the zone pics is allowing people to believe anything that is even kind of believable.

How so? I know Diablo tends to go for more of the blood reds, but it has had different main colour palettes before.

[Nymrohd]

Yeah, I don't know. DALL-E/Bing can get way too close to that image.

I don't know, the humans in all of these look plastic. The ones in the linked image look human.

The lighting rigs at the top still look wrong in the Dall-E image vs the "leak"

[InterestingDiscordImage]

Genuinely don't know if this is real or fake. I've tried playing with the exposure to see if I can make anything out under the black lines. Figure you guys can take a crack at it.

Made this on a throwaway cause I don't want to cause drama on my main if it's fake lol

Yeah, it's crazy how it's all reversed. The WoW style is now harder to reproduce than an actual photo.
I have more faith in those 4 screenshots than in this stage photograph. Especially since roots are quite chaotic in nature and would be easy to fake.

[Moth Preacher]

If we believe that this leak is true hard enough, maybe it will turn into reality?

I mean no one in the original image has two left arms.

A few years and people will release a playable alpha build here to trick us

[Pinksocking]

The problem with WoW isn't expansion theme.
It's how unrewarding it is to play.

fr I don't wanna be underground !!

Thanks for nothing I guess?

[Harbour]

Im willing to believe that photo is fake, but if it its so good. Its better than those people quickly made in Dall E. It has better, more realistic depths. And framing and angle look like the one made photo stands kinda in the corner to sneak a shot.
It very good fake (if it is).

[vintage79]

is this got hard debunked? runed in some anti ai soft?
besides blur there is alot of details in this - damn

difrent angle of boxes on boxes,
shadows,
trash on floor etc
