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

[lostsoup]

Is it fun, enjoyable and good content though? All DF raids have been very underwhelming so far. The outdoor content is okay at best. Zaralek as an experiment has been pretty much rejected by the community. So while we got lots of content, the quality was to a varying degree and overall the impression DF left in that regard is at best meh.

The tips of the top lines on the two "E"s on NEW CONTINENT being different pretty much seals the deal. The screenshots are fake!

how to waste years of work of your entire 3d modeling department

I mean sure you can do that.

I'm glad I now have something even more substantial to back it up! THOSE ARE FAKES MY GOOD PEOPLE, WE TOLD YOU

All 3 horizontal lines in the 2 'E's look completely different.

I don't doubt you but tbh I'm so perplexed why someone faking it wouldn't bother adding the text in post to avoid that

I still believe 11.0 will be about elementals and basically part 2 of Dragonflight story, so we will get a generic new landmass, 4 zones etc like DF

i hope im wrong tho

I'm surprised no one noticed this, and hopefully we can finally put the "4 image leak" to bed with this, but theres obvious AI artifacting on the text in the first image.

I've circled the warped letters here

I'm not saying the entirety of the images are AI, they are a composition. AI elements, skin edits, model placement, etc. not to mention the sunshafts are extremely flat and don't look anything like the ones ingame.

I'm new to participating in this forum so i cant post the images sadly, but if someone wants to post them in a reply feel free to.

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.

Could be compression artifacts because of the uneven background and the original image size.

The text could be moving (like a zoom or a "tipping forward" sorry I don't know the proper word) causing slightly morphed letters.

I also don't really see anything weird or AI-like in the circled parts of AVALOREN either.

I think it's copium because people don't want that leak to be real. I'm not saying it IS real - I'm just saying that this "debunk" is reaching.

[Moth Preacher]

Wait, yes!
The original version is much more blurry

this is the original

People always thinks we will have more of the same. Before Dragonflight started leaking, we had same comments about inevitable Lightlands or Lifelands cosmic expansion. And history teach us Blizzard like to change themes between expansions.

[KyleEverett]

Most people are going off the slight blurriness as to any inconsistency in the font. It is the right font though and most AI isn't that good at reproducing letters. Look at all the fake ai logos that make a mess of of.

As for speculation, I personally am hoping 97Osol's binary riddle leaks are the true ones, I'm keeping my expectations realistic.

The main thing we know is Khaz Algar is involved, in what capacity who knows, there was a hopium part of me that was thinking what if the Algarian Stormrider was actually some kind of machine, like a plane or glider or something, mayhaps the lore of it has it using the lightning from said 'storm' as energy to power it or some jazz, but thats highly unlikely.

more likely than not it'll be some kind of animal, hopefully not a storm dragon, kinda sick of dragons at this point haha

[TheRayzor]

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

[Moth Preacher]

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.
