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

[Edlarel]

Someone else can translate, but I guess I got it?

Artificer sounds correct according to this.
"You discovered your class... now about your race? Your first step: Go to the storm."

Sorta how brewmasters were in Warcraft 3 but became monks with a brewmaster specialization in WoW. This seems to indicate we'll get an artificer class (very D&D) which can potentially have a tinker specialization (maybe as the tank).

I'll give it this. The binary makes sense when you're claiming there's an artificer class. Like the gnome tablets that had to be translated.

I also don't "want" it to be fake, I'm completely okay with those zones and Avaloren as the continent. It has more to do with at a glance the images don't look right, on closer inspection it becomes clear they don't appear to be genuine.

[Chickat]

The housing one is now confirmed fake..its from a very impressive private server.

Thats upsetting.

[ercarp]

Id be so hyped for Runemaster actually!!

Same. But people keep saying it can't happen because Monks and Death Knights share too many similarities.

[Catastrophy349]

Man, this thread died fast. Who started this?

[kavikor]

The text has motion artifacts but none of the mobs do. It's the only one of the 4 pictures that looks like it's capture from video, while the other 4 look like screenshots. The Harpy is mid-flap in it's wings, yet there's no bleeding frames from the movement of the screen capture. The background gryphon flying down the valley is perfectly pristine in silloutte for something that should be moving at high speeds.

The shadows are also 100% wrong. They don't match in-engine, they don't match the in-game model cutscene/feature trailer shadows, or even promotional images shadows.

Even if it was due to "weird lighting" in the snowy image, the desert image is really blatant. The direct zone light should not cast the shadow it does on the tree on the right. It should be a much harder, defined shadow. Whether it was a Legion private server or using the current Shadowlands RTX shadows.

As far as the "no movement" criticism, I've said this before but I think that the other 3 images are still screenshots from the like media pack thing they release during and after blizzcon? That has a bunch of screenshots for the website, for interviewers to post as an image, etc. I forgot what its called at this very moment, but someone showed some screenshots from the Dragonflight one and they were similarly still and some were in fairly uninspired locations.

[Harbour]

Iron Dwarves? Sounds boring. I hope not. We had a lot of regular ones and Dark Iron ones. Kinda meh for an expansion feature. For BFA we had whole 6 Allied Races.

[ercarp]

Artificer is basically just a synonym for Tinker.

[Porcos Voadores]

the same with witch doctors, would love then but they are too similar to priests and shamans

It sounds like you're referring to a press kit!

[Chickat]

So ive been preoccupied today. Nothing new confirmed?

Exactly that, thank you.

Wtf. Paragraph of morse code?

Path of the titans? from the wiki for stormforged dwarf "The ruins imply the work of titans"

Hmm, I'm not so certain. Earthern neutral race? That feels pretty low effort from Blizz, but also, I guess we'd be getting a class too in this hypothetical scenario where this is a true leak.

My preferred system is N64

[Harbour]

So how would female Earthen look like. Im afraid Blizzard would treat them like Mechagnomes. Whats even there to customize? Basically color of rock.
