11.0 zone pics?

The ground textures on the 3rd and 4th album look bad compared to modern WoW textures. Even MoP ground textures had more detail. Fake.

I've noticed that pics 2, 3, and 4 don't have long distance views. They're closed, claustrophobic views. That's not what I would use for a first look at a new land when trying to sell an expansion.

Pic 1 is probably the most passable but doesn't have any distinguishing landmark so it's a fake too.

Actually, given that this has come out a few days before Blizzcon, there is a slim possibility this is real. IIRC WoD and Shadowlands were also leaked a few days before Blizzcon. That being said, I still stand by the lackluster texturework, the unflattering framing of the last 3 pics, and the lack of unique identifying features in the 1st pic to marks against this so-called "leak".

Another issue is that the ground is unusually flat and boring, and there aren't enough doodads on the ground.

Honestly, I'm kind of impressed by the effort if it is fake. Particularly the "storm harpy" and the adult version of the Titan Timerift direhorn pet.

Why does the dwarf in the 2nd pic have massive middle fingers

I think those are index fingers.

I really hope this isn't it.

I mean.. if this is fake, then it's made with a lot of effort...

Some of the things that get me suspicious are the awkward transitions between textures, the aggressively harsh noise on the ground in the first image, and the harsh transitions on the last one.

Hmmm, this one looks passable enough to put some chips on.

Think those are organic fist weapons like Wolverine from Xmen.

I really hope this isn't it.

Just looks like DF 2.0... Not enough to judge the expansion, but this does not instill confidence.

[Mojo03]

Looks banal and like a remixed version of stuff that's already in the game.

I'd say this has a high probability of being real then.

[bruxx]

Looks like it could be legit. None of the 4 screenshots particularly bother me, though it all feels a bit samey with broken isles, zandalar and dragon isles.
I wish some day they go back to accepting higher contrast with their landscape art.

[Yzmor]

This is real. I know because this is terrible, I wholeheartedly loathe the idea of going to another f***ing island with 4--let alone boring--zones in it, prolly huge and empty AF like Azure Span to make the crowd who's into dragonriding pleased, and the pics showcase how unimaginative and lackluster these zones are--like DF ones.
So yeah, sad to realize my time has passed and the game is not for me anymore, but with DF and the new direction of the game I knew Blizz would prolly never make anything I like again, so these pics make sense, trust my gut, these pics are real guys.

[Melorandor]

Lol, this is real; they even got the zone shots presented the same way previous feature trailers had been shown.

[Swnem]

I also think this is either real or someone went through a lot of work to make these.

I am liking the different environments.

[Akhinos]

I knew, another fuckig boring 4 zones with unimaginative maps that looks exacty like the ones of DF. Not going to play this shit anymore.

[enigma77]

looks too real to be fake, but we'll see soon at blizzcon anyway

[DeltrusDisc]

This looks very believable, and given the timing and history of leaks... I struggle to not put a bet on this. People are hating but this really doesn't look too bad at all.

[blaatschaap]

Really good fake, I think. The last three shots all have only one high quality element (the dwarf, the harpy and the direhorn), tho, and the first shot has none. Basically everything about these shots is pretty meh except the NPCs.

[Skirdus]

someone get the "tall dwarves" guy on the line, this is it.
