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

that makes it less fun

Avaloren is so shit and boring that even AI is making more interesting concepts, if it is indeed AI

my whishful theory is that the 4 zone Avaloren leak is true but at the same time boring with reused assets because we are also getting a world revamp. Imo they cant do a world revamp with 0 new and interesting zones and Avaloren is a way to do that i guess

Not sure what program/site this is, but can you do this for the 4 images of "Avaloren" one?

[Trad skeleton]

Post the image using the img tag will you.

It's the 2015 Rise of Azshara leak from way back when.

Thank you. Doesn't mean they're real/fake still as I imagine the best looking fakes are still handmade.

[Shadochi]

Tho this doesn't help much, since I think the consensus is that it was not done by AI. If it was fake then it is most probably from a modded sandbox/private server

This is definitely not made by AI. This could actually be the real deal!

Pic is eight years old. I remember seeing it before I even knew what Harambe was

To be fair, i doubt 4screenshots and website screenshot are AI generated from begin with. Its good Photoshop work and well done private server work (with Photoshop on top).

I think the point is to crop the actual art and put that into the detector. Obviously it is an actual photo of a laptop

For all of these question was never if it was AI (and I think that software would have issues with IRL taken pics of screens even if AI generated image was on screen). But instead if they are fake like in the good ol' days of the hype thread when we didn't have AI

What's the original source? I need to add this to the spreadsheet ASAP. 5/5 credibility score! This is INSANE!

People would rather think that the Avaloren zones are fake AI, that's how boring Avaloren looks.

The main storyline will have to do heavy-lifting and truly carry the Avaloren setting.

I expect Blizzard to step up their game and at least bring back Azshara as main villain.

Her return is already foreshadowed by the Forbidden Reach codex.

But it's still hilarious that people are hoping Avaloren zones are fake AI, that says a lot.

I'm almost 1/3rd through the "War of the Scaleborn" now, and I will say it again - that novel should have been released earlier, as the classic pre-expansion book. 10.1 would have gotten so much more hype if we had known about Aberrus from the start, the book even mentions Rashok. We also finally get insight into the Incarnates and the origins of the Primalists, but it feels a bit too late, as most of the "teases and easter eggs" no longer work now that we already played through the first two patches. The only real potential location for new content so far is Harrowsdeep.

The Sylvanas book had the same problems - it came to late and answered questions which no longer mattered anymore as she was already back on our side when the novel released. Really hope they change that approach with 11.0 and give us a propper pre-expansion novel at the start which both lays groundwork for the upcoming expansion but also gives us enough teasers to speculate on future patches. Which, funny enough, so far this book would have done perfectly at the start of Dragonflight ...

Yeah it's a combination of a sandbox server + Photoshop.

Checking the ones with the computer monitors available isn't going to help much because it's a real photo of a website with images built into it, you'd have to check the actual images themselves. Which are much too small to get a good result from, probably.

They are not AI, but I still hope they are fake.

Least AI logo I've seen so far; I'd be very happy

You can still tell that it's fake because the logo is way too big vertically. It wouldn't fit properly on their launcher or anywhere else.

I'm not really sure we should be using that site as a way to judge whether or not a leak is real or not. All it's telling us is that the image isn't AI, and uh...well... Last I checked, Eye of Azshara wasn't real.

Not saying those Avaloren images aren't the real deal, but all this site tells us is that those images could have been done in the traditional way before we had AI.

[Dnusha]

Now I'm curious; what happens if you put the wrath or catacylsm logo through it

I dont think it should've been released with expansion launch, but instead with/shortly before 10.1 launch (not to spoil the other primalists)
