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

[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?

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.

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.

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.

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

[Nymrohd]

I think it's entirely possible they are planning some form of visual revamp but I don't think it's something they have ready for the next expac. And I don't think they are up for taking the risk to change their formula and have expansions take place primarily in the old world, instead committing to introducing an every increasing number of new locations. I don't personally agree with that but that's what I think the dev team is thinking.

But I absolutely think that an actual full scale revamp would get so many old wow players to just buy the xpac and log in just for the nostalgia hit. And honestly I don't think retention would be great even if they pulled millions back.

People are definitely desperate for factions and old races to return, so yeah if we're just getting another Filler Island but with factions this time, it will not be a great reception.

i mean, we don't even know if these are FOR world revamp, we've seen a lot of times that they just refresh the models for old assets if they are going to be used in new content (see horde airship for transport to dragon isles, alliance airship for time rifts, night elf tents in the 10.2 zone) and shit like that

I guess it's some kind of indication that their marketing push is starting.

Or someone rewatched some GoT recently.

[Foreign Exchange Ztudent]

People datamined those assets, its not really Blizzard's fault beyond not encrypting them, in which case people would also start to go wild with wondering only to be disappointed later.

Damned if you do, damned if you don't. The only way they could really stop any of this is just not have any of it be accessible and not put stuff up on the PTR.

Its the usual thing of people trying to piece together things from various random bits that are datamined, hyping themselves up and then only having themselves to blame for it.

Blizzard is not responsible for you drawing the wrong conclusions from what may well be abandoned projects.

[huth]

You're right, they've been updating old assets for an abandoned project for years until recently

Assuming they're all for the same project is such a wrong conclusion.

[doledippers]

You missed Ion's statement

https://www.wowhead.com/news/ion-haz...ed-from-334884

im aware of that statement, i mean that we dont know if the datamined assets are for the world revamp specifically. like i said theyve used a bunch of them in DF
