Good job with the fake. You tricked quite a few people on the internet.

[Mysterymask]

My god an MMO champion leak thread is fake? Next your gonna tell me the Sky is Blue and there's orcs in world of Warcraft I am shocked SHOCKED I TELL YOU

[comandante cobra]

But if I had to bet on a theme it would be some revamp or return to the original continents, next year WoW turns 20, they will definitely want to celebrate with a return to the origins

Hey everyone, this is fake. see my other forum post

Where is the image from?

Looks like Blizzard sent lawyers after you and your backtracking.

[Dismayxz]

It is essentially AI Art.

[scvd]

Okay, leakers, listen to this: taking blurry phone photos of your fan art/AI gibberish is not convincing anyone anymore.

Did you say this about Legion and DF?

Not to claim it's real, but dismissing immediately just makes anyone potentially look like an ass

Dude dont feel bad - awesome job on this! I think its funny how it looks pretty bad AI generated but under the shitty camera filter our brains like to fill in the gaps.

I had a blast breaking down the fake logo.

Edit: IT was a dwarf leg!

Edit2: if you maybe told it to make the logo look like dragonflight you could have fooled us all.

Thanks for owning up to the fake leak. Speculation was definitely fun to read, and we can still get back to sifting through other potential leaks and info!

[Bwgmon]

Ye gods, that dwarf is missing his face!

Here's the story:

I was playing around with ai art and I thought with all the leaks around the pre-order gryphon why don't I see if I can make something that resembles that to get a bit of forum chatter and discussion going for fun. It ended up making something so convincing I thought it could maybe pass as instantly not being fake.

Now thats its been around 12 hours and I've seen it gaining a lot of traction I regret doing this to generate fake hype, so I'm sorry about that. I initially just wanted to have some fun seeing people discuss the image.

I guess its also a good time to understand ai art is getting very real so just be sceptical with a lot of what you see online now.

Here's to hoping for a world revamp though!


also, here is the original ai art

You words cuts deeps than any blade my dude. You just broke my heart.

This logo goes so hard.

[Gloriandus]

I need to know your AI-fu, because this is what I got when I told AI to make a WoW logo for an expansion

[Ielenia]

"Wold Word Waerime"

... Y'know, I think I woold totally play that expansion.

[Mask]

What if the leak is real, but op is now playing us for fools by saying it was a fake leak because he knows how quick we will be to disbelieve.

With Bing's creator, using "World of Warcraft: [expansion name], expansion logo" can give pretty good results sometimes, though it'll probably take a few generations. For example, welcome to World of Warcraft: Kongo Bongo Isle...

[KayRule]

Was going to say, the timing of this leaking right after Bings new image upgrade should have had everyone dismissive from the start.

You've done a fine job, I find it to be entertaining when we have people doing it the way you do this.
I'll post your image full size here

No, because when Dragonflight came out, we didn't have abundant AI everywhere. And look, I was right! So thanks, I will continue to disbelieve every shaky cam footage.

For the thread:

It just the same logo as bfa with a new name on it. So yes, this is a fake. Blizzard doesn't reuse the older logo's. They always redesign the logo to something new.
