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

I really hope not. This doesn't feel or look like Warcraft.

I mean the second image looks a lot like the art style for wow promo art.

The bottom picture looks pretty much like a Nathrezim with some kind of shadow hood and a tentacle hand, nothing too crazy.

The zone pictures look much more fake and AI generated.

Those zone pics look like what karesh probably looks like post void apocalypse

[Well Done Steak]

True. I seriously doubt this stuff is at all true tbh

Assuming there are even fragments of it left...

Ethereals are still operating in karesh. The world event in blades edge confirms it.

The boss claims he was forced to come from karesh.

Tbh I am a little skeptical for the zones, but then again I also was skeptical over the same guy’s Dracthyr Evoker & DF cinematic leak that were both spot on.

[Woggmer]

Can I ask y'all something rq?

Canonically, how bad would our player characters PTSD be?

- - - Updated - - -

Cause you know damn well they have at least some of it

Lorewise? I would say N'zoth and anything from Ny'alotha. Nobody can just go in there and walk out totally sane... and also Yogg Saron driving people mad with visions of the past.

And also Ahn'qiraj/Heart of Fear because bug themes.

If we're talking gameplay-wise... C'thun, Lords of Dread, Dark Animus, Ouro from AQ40, M'uru, Sinestra from BoT Heroic, Kil'jaeden from Tomb of Sargeras... and any pvp player whoever walked walkthrough Stranglethorn Vale or Hillsbrad alone knowing that there's an undead rogue player lurking and ready to gank unsuspecting weak players for crossing the road.

It also never got awarded and got cancelled, so could have been a misdirect or even a fake filing by someone who wanted to mess around (it wouldn't be the first time this happened). I'd also be very interested in seeing any of those "lot of different title trademarks they will never use" you mentioned.

Heroes of Azeroth, Dark Portal, Onyxia's Lair, Darkmoon Faire were all registered trademarks & that have since expired: Note these were all trademarks for products, not iconography within the franchise, like their Frostmorne trademark.

You said it. How anyone could get excited about those pics is beyond me. It looks like a recolored Argus.

The ones you mentioned are all trading card game trademarks (some of which were also actually used) except for DMF which was a event, not for video game titles, so none of those can be used for that without reapplying/retrademarking.

On second thought, the Smolderon/Nathrezim art looks AI generated on the right wing, it branches off badly.

Wonder why Scaleface gang would do fakes, unless its just a troll?

The Twitter profile lists a protonmail e-mail so there is a chance they're relaying leaks that were submitted via that which might not have been verified to be real. No idea without them coming out of the woodworks, ofcourse.

[Lady Atia]

would you like it if blizzcon panels focuses solely on remaining content for dragonflight but provides a date for next expansion announcement?

What remaining content? The fated-style raid season and new season 4 KSM mount xD?

[lostsoup]

The Void Dreadlord picture looks a bit too consistent to be AI generated. The armor design, symmetrical parts like the shoulders and boot designs, etc.

But the other pictures do have an AI generated look to them, and it's impossible to tell due to how small they are... hmm.

[Nymrohd]

I do wonder where the Void = K'aresh idea comes but I guess it's someone here pushing a pet theory.

There is no other named landmass concretely associated with the Void. Avaloren is a tossup on what the Heretics are.

[Raetary]

It's badly generated Ai imagery.
Same aspect ratio as most crappy free AI image generators and the recognizable details are all over the place.

This precisely, nothing to fuss over everyone

[lostsoup]

In that case I wonder why two (or one, if Scaleface and wowexdev are the same person) reputable leakers would throw away their credibility posting AI art.

[ImTheMizAwesome]

I mean, these pictures could be AI created on purpose with hints in mind and not showing anything real, like someone made these specific pictures just to point in some direction.

But this is just my random thought, i still think it's nothing but you never know.

[Mysticdoll]

If toweliee an alot of new speculation is right an there is no old world revamp then blizz really messed up by having all the updated assets visible.I feel like the revamp discussions used to mainly be on forums but this speculation season people have been clamouring for it, bellulars revamp video has like 3x his normal views

Also a return to Kalimdor an eastern kingdoms would definitely help get back old players who dropped ship in shadowlands
