Unless this is another game entirely... let the leaks begin? Avaloren heretics maybe? Wrath of the Drogbar?

Reminds me of the infected orcs in Gorgrond/Botani

[Foolicious]

That's actually the thing that bothers me. Tyr's weapon was "the silver hand" but it wasn't literally a hand. The Human Paladin order chose that symbol based on the name of the weapon. It's deeply steeped in the Alliance's culture. Nothing about Tyr focused on hand iconography. Not just that, but it's also only a Hand because the Dead God Tir from Dungeons & Dragons' symbol was a hand. Like Selune/Elune, they just cribbed that.

I guess I can get past that by rationalizing that Alonsus Foal originally chose that symbol, and he's Forsaken now.

Thats not quite right. Tyr sacrificed his hand in the fight against galakrond and replaced it with a silver one. It was the only thing that remained after he sacrificed himself again to save the vrykul and they worshipped his hand for a long time in tirisfal. They literally build their culture around the myth of tyr's hand.

He engraved his warhammer with the symbol we now know as the one that paladins use and renamed it, but the weapon itself plays very little part in the story.

Hummmm interesting. Seems an orc but those ears... The armor looks Warcraft.

Lightforged Orcs maybe? Also it is too soon for a leak like this one.

That you think work orders are "already dead" tells me how frighteningly little you understand of the actual state of professions. And that you don't understand that more players would level multiple professions if available account-wide than currently level professions on alts, thus lowering their need to purchase items from other players discourages interactions without the need for someone to "level all professions" tells me you don't understand basic player logic enough to declare anything "for the health of the game".

If you find fishing unfun, why are you leveling it on a fifth alt for absolutely no reason?

I just happen to think that the effect of account-wide professions could be very different to what you think. Let Blizzard do it and we would see what happens.

Giving freedom to players in regard to what they want to do will always be good.

I enjoy fishing very much, I do not enjoy having to level it again from zero if I want to fish with another character.

If that's the idea, I could see it being like Vanilla with a bunch of different zone problems showing up in a cinematic.

I'm curious whats up with the "horns" in the back one, it looks like one is disconnected/flying away?

Avaloren’s heretics I imagine.

Is there the possibility that’s Iridikron in the background?

There are few Botani on Azeroth. They run away with Mag'har Orcs, you can see them at the end of recruitment scenario in the background.

Horns look similar to be sure.

[Worldshaper]

About as legitimate as that Borean Tundra cinematic leak from a couple of years ago.

Fair example there, though I remember being sure the Dragonflight leaked cinematic stills were fake, so who knows.

If this is real though this is damn far out for it to leak.

[Foreign Exchange Ztudent]

They are pretty forgeries and kind of fun to think about. But, yeah I just can't see anyone pulling of a spy heist info leak like this and while the Dragonflight poster leak it was very much as close to reveal as possible.

[Worldshaper]

Post it on r/gaming just to see if some nerd recognises it from another game franchise or movie.

Hints that make no sense are not hints. There are more "hints" that disprove your theory than "hints" that back it up & you're just ignoring those. Calia/Bolvar knowing Lilian & Taelia, details about their life, their own personal history & not putting it together that they were romantically linked would make everyone involved seem like braindead morons, including the writers and audience.

How incredibly stupid it would be to have Bolvar, at this point, say "Taelia, I know the entire shadowlands storyline Calia & us were involved in was about berating me about lying to you your whole life? And how that was bad? Well, She & I have been lying to you about even more things & she's just a huge hypocrite and there's no reason I waited to tell you this"

What hints are as obvious as
Bolvar: I lost my wife. She was a commoner
Calia: I lost my husband. He was a soldier
Taelia: I lost my mom
Calia: I lost my daughter
B&T: we got separated in a scourge attack
Calia: we got separated in a scourge attack

Why would bolvar recognize her considering she looks way different from when they last saw eachother and is now undead
"She looks the same"
White hair
White skin
Weird voice
Seems taller

Let's also take into account she was in SL FOR NO PURPOSE and was around them constantly

So what do we have against this other than "blizz wouldn't write it like that"

[Cheezits]

Maybe an AI art because of the disconnected helmet on the right guy (horn is coming out of his shoulder?)

Lots of people said the Dragonflight Cinematic leak was BS because blurry Khoranos looked like Garrosh, so I'm not gonna say its likely fake because of that. But I'm trying to decipher their design.

The lighting looks good and the design of the main creature is interesting. It's like right between Orc, Drogbar and Botani-infected Orc.

The images from the DF cinematic was also leaked a week before Blizzcon.

It's far too early for a DF cinematic leak unless we go for the deliberate leak theory.

[Darkarath]

What if the cinematic is part of DF? Like the BfA Saurfang's cinematics?

Did not some Blizzard member said this week that we should expect more than the 10.2 reveal? Might they reveal 10.2 and 10.3 at the same time? That would solve the problem of 11.0 at Blizzcon.

Honestly the picture looks like real Warcraft. Too good to be fake.

Considering how jumpy people are about next expansion (to the point Mike stpped in) and the newest quests, I can see a leak today being intentional.

AI art is a strong possibility as well. Realistic drogbar with Iridikron in the background. Take the image that looks the most vague, then take a blurry picture of said image.
