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

It looks to me that the flaws of the upscaled version mostly stand in the original one, right?

[Marlamin]

What I find interesting is that none of our hardcore leak dissecters has seen this and pointed it out? Or how was this not spotted by anyone before?

I mean, they're judging an AI upscale of it, it doesn't really matter if you see AI artifacts there, because it is AI. I don't think this touches on the legitimacy of the original leak regardless of how real it is.

DF might not be for everyone but you can't deny that there's tons of content being made for it. And pretty often too.

I can deny that. 26 raid encounters is the least of ANY expansion, Cata and WoD included. 8 dungeons and 1 mega dungeon means that the dev time from raiding did not go to dungeons for sure; it has less than both Legion and BfA and the same number as SL. At a glance the world is indeed larger but I am unsure if it is actually larger when you count all the supplementary material other expansions got; SL had all the Torghast floors, BfA had multiple updated zones plus all the Island Expeditions and Legion had a crazy amount of scenario areas. And so far there have been no pvp additions.

What Dragonflight has is a lot of events in the world. That's it. It has less instanced content, less areas created, no other game modes. It is an expansion with a significant investment in base systems but by no means does it have more content even when you count poorly designed world events that reward different recolors of the same gear as content. But it also has parceled out that content in a very neat manner creating the illusion that there is always something new to do, whether that new things has any substance or not.

Correct. It is mostly just upscaling problems.

The teams need to have song like team rocket.

[Thaumaturgus]

This is a little indeterminate because you're looking at an upscaled version, and the upscaling itself warps things. Speaking from experience, since I made the same mistake with the SL logo.

ohh I was unaware of that, I did zoom way into the original when I made that conclusion originally, but the example I used was probably upscaled

[Nymrohd]

There's some insane amounts of reaching about the 4 screenshots being fake, fully reminds me of the Dracthyr fiasco.

They are probably not fake. But they are so fucking boring.

[Nyel]

Avaloren‘s back on the menu, boys?

Come on, we need a flyer or logo leak today.

sooo :_ it seems dat we know shit about blizzcon if all leaks are fake or ai

That space between the R and he E is very suspect. Ther eis literally no spacing between the two letters while you could park a truck between the V and the two As.

The binary stuff is still in the game, no?

Mmm, no, what I mean is... When you "zoom" in a program like your browser or whatever, a lot of programs will do a basic sort of upscale for that "zoom". That's why you aren't seeing just pixelation in your image, because a computer is stepping it at some point and correcting the pixels to make it look like a blurry image instead of a blocky one.

Here is the actual exact image at larger scale:



See how a lot of the stuff goes away? Like the curving Es or the cut in the W?

I just saw that im wearing two different socks today and i think it's a sign that new leak will happen today.

[Beerplz]

I'm still waiting for them to register a certificate for the new expansion website, sadly nothing new except classic.blizzard.com :|

Oh I agree, no the most exciting leak, but it is what it is.

Ehm, I always wear two different socks everyday. I thought that's .... like ... normal??

I think it's fair to say that DF is an expansion where the improvements or otherwise good parts, are less obvious. Especially compared to Legion, where the improvements it made were very noticeable at a glance.

DF has done several things that were fantastic for the game overall. Dragonriding is a great improvement on flying. M+ having rotating season using old dungeons makes the seasons feel fresher. Talent tree revamp of course. Reintroduction of Vanilla content like Scholomance, Scarlet Monastery, and the Naxxramas recipes. Etc.

It will be difficult to look back at DF and immediately point to the stuff it did right, precisely because those changes will just be standard going forward.

I find it hard to walk when wearing the same sock on both feet.

Well, the last time i wore two different socks, i stepped on a pile of shit.

[Thaumaturgus]

On closer inspection of the original non-upscaled version, It is much more difficult to tell, but there are things about it that still bother me.

The kerning between the E and R in Avaloren really bugs me. I personally doubt they'd make that mistake, but I suppose it wouldnt be the first time there was an oopsy in their previews and such.

not to mention the sunshafts in the final image, really looks like it was drawn on top of the image to me.

I mean, socks come in pairs for a reason tho.
