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

[Cheezits]

this is exactly how stoneborn looks when you look closely / wrinkles / bat-ears / bat-noses

I admit a cinematic meeting between Denathrius and Iridikron would be crazy and also isn't out of the question either.

........no?

Then you need to tighten your tinfoil hat, my friend

Hey yo I noticed that too!

Why does that give it more legitimacy? He definitely just did that to promote his leak. And they already told us they were presenting 10.2 on Thursday, yesterday.

the leaked image (if genuine) is a spoiler for the next expansion. what does give it more legitimacy? it was dropped here randomly with no explanations or anything. reminds me of the leaked image of alxestrasza from the dragonflight cinematic.

The leak is definitely real. It's way too detailed and doesn't look like AI art.

Just like the bolvar and Alex leaks

I doubt it. Simple enough to make a post saying you've heard things, then post a fake leak.

Looks real. But it would be unprecedent if it belongs to 11.0. Usually this kind of stuff leaks the week of the reveal. A month and a half before is weird. Not impossible, but weird.

Hoping that we get that cinematic tomorrow.

What is really interesting is, what the fuck is that Orc? I do not think that is a Lightforged one, and it definitively does not look undead to me.

LIFE ALL THE WAY¡¡¡

I mean, it's just speculation. Still, on a scale from fake to real i'd put this image closer to real than the average "leak" we usually get on this site.

Idk, might be a new creature. Personally I think it looks like a stone born

Imagine if 10.2 us just the prelude. Void pokes the hornet's nest with Fyrakk.

11.0, Life goes absolutely apeshit along with the Elements. All out war between the two forces.

We can't really tell if its not AI art. The two biggest telltale signs of AI art is the random sections being blurry/sharp regardless of focus, and screwed up extremities: It's just blurry enough so we can't notice the first sign, and just cropped right so we can't notice the second sign.

That I would like. Instead of it just being Elemental, address the connection between the Elements and the force of Life, which is Spirit.

That way you don't have to shove Elune into a Dream patch and she gets some proper focus and explanation.

Makes sense too, if the Naga prophecy refers to Fyrakk successfully messing up the heart of the tree as the final step.

Ysera does one final sacrifice and becomes the tree's new heart, just so it isn't all a waste?

Ysera or Elune purification as her big "sorry Nelves" moment.

As far as I can remember, there still hasn't ever been a single "low quality picture of angled computer screen" leak that has ever been real. This one is especially sketchy, since it definitely looks like it's been deliberately cropped at just enough screen to make the "confidential" text legible.

The Alexstraza cinematic picture was very close to that.

[ChairmanKaga]

Wasn't the blue flame Bolvar pic also off a monitor?

I'd have to see it again, but wasn't it not a photo? Just a modified, cropped screenshot?

No, it was a high quality straight on image.

The weird horns on the humanoid in the back not being attached to its head looks to me like what you might get from an AI generated image not knowing what it's supposed to look like.

If it's supposed to be Iridikron then it's both too solid, and also definitely attached at the wrong place. The image seems to be unsure whether the horns start at his head or his back.

Also the image being blurry to begin with would hide many of the artifacts of AI generation.

Unsure where this is in the files, but I remember "Morph Impact" from the DragonnRiding files Marlamin shared.

Maybe Druids are getting a Dragonriding Form?
