Is that AI or modeling? It looks really good. Kind of like Titan Japan.

Good fake.

No one cares about the setting of the expansion.

I dunno, fair amount here seem to hate the idea of Avaloren.

No one cares about the setting of the expansion.

People care about the antagonists.

An Underground expansion means that the Old Gods come back.

And the Old Gods are the most popular and beloved villains WoW have introduced.

i would say of recent. most popular is the scourge in general. void is the only one we haven't defeated entirely. we've defeated the scourge. defeated the legion. void is the last of the 'big 3' that have to be defeated.. which idk what blizzard would do after a void expansion tbh.

Yeah, the Oath Breaking leak was a dead giveaway when you spent more than one second looking at the background behind that character. It's also so much easier to spot how fake they are with the blurring removed.

N’zoth wasn’t underground though

But he still seeks the World Soul of Azeroth, which is underground.

In BfA, he breached the underground Chamber of the Heart with his tentacles and forces.

We don't need underground for Old Gods. MoP and BFA both had Old Gods and we didn't go underground. Not much, at least.

Every time there has been an Underground content in WoW, the Old Gods were the main antagonists.

There has never been Underground content in WoW that didn't feature the Old Gods as main antagonists.

The Old Gods' tentacles run deep underground as they seek their ultimate prize: the World Soul in the planet's core.

The Old Gods have ALWAYS been the antagonists of Underground content. Why the Old Gods wouldn't be the antagonist of an Underground expansion?

I think an azerite-based fusion of tinker and alchemist as an artificer is by far the most likely implementation in WoW, pending the introduction of something completely new. Titan technology is also possible (or both, based on the new Trading Post weapons), but the idea of a class that operates by bleeding the planet dry is too interesting to pass up. I want to go back to class-based groups hating each other, like paladins and warlocks.

The other possibilities are Naaru tech and Legion tech, and I think both are just too specific for them to be likely (not as specific as gnome or goblin tech, but close). It's also pretty consistent with Blizzard's behaviour to give us a brand new class with similarities to the classes people have been asking for rather than just giving us the class from W3.

I think the class will just be a fusion of all the various race’s technology. With each spec focusing on one (or more) types while still retaining baseline abilities from the other types.

Like Tank = Gnomish tech
DPS = Goblin tech
Magi-tech (Draenei/elf) = healer (OR DPS-support)
And a bonus could be a alchemist healer spec.

Haven't you heard? Much like the Lich King clearly once we kill the Old Gods, and the man behind them (Void Lords) we will kill the man behind the man behind the man. Black Hole Marquises?

No surprise at all

Damn if thats fake then so are the other 4 screen shots.

Which means KARESH BABY

And people still think the 4 screenshots couldn't possibly have been faked... These look almost as good as the 4 in full resolution.

Thank you, parteyunques, for showing us that it can be done.

Correct, but we can have it without going underground. Again. I hate underground zones some of the worst in the game. Always boring and dull, even the larger ones with flying like Uldum or Nifflen or whatever it's called.

When I'm adventuring I like to be raiding a castle, or out under the blue sky.

For a similar reason despite loving Forsaken lore I hate their zones.

[vintage79]

ok guys and fellow internet warriors - I had a tons of fun - take care and see ya after WoW 11.0 tinkersreveal!!!!

[Nerdslime]

I dunno, fair amount here seem to hate the idea of Avaloren.

For my part, I am excited by Avaloren existing and I hope whatever is there is compelling and cool. I just dont know that Blizzard would make it the xpac so soon after revealing lore clues about it in out-of-the-way nerdbait items, y'know?

I think definitely we'll go there, and I am excited to see whatever is there, I just don't fully believe it's relevant to this autumn 2023 leak season.

[Nightshade711]

Nah the other 4 weren’t by the same person.
But Karesh would be dope as a patch zone (and/or Ethereal starting zone)

Like Azjol Nerub, the underground dungeon with one of the Lich King’s just trusted generals as the main antagonist leading his scourge forces?

[doledippers]

i still think we're gonna get a leak, be it tonight or tomorrow, trust

Had they just not used the thick stroke on Friz Quadrata...

Assuming we defeat the void, there is nothing left to keep the light in check. After a down to Azeroth expansion in the middle, hopefully.

[TheramoreIsTheBomb]

Legion = Infinity War
Void Expansion = Endgame

Ik but they looked similar and this shows that the other 4 could be faked.
