Another leak about what's going on at Blizzard

[Rhlor]

the racials of the horde have been nerfed for years

[MoanaLisa]

None of this feels true. Ion is not making raids for one thing. The stuff about transfer fees is laughable. Why would Blizzard implement cross-realm anything if they were so terrified of losing transfer fees? Never mind that art and the code underpinning something like Zereth Mortis was laid down many, many months ago. How can anyone be so transparently stupid to think that a developer is working on a zone and doesn’t know what the fuck it is?

Anyone who follows a WoW forum can sit down and generate paragraphs of lies and bullshit knowing there will be someone that will share it (unless they wrote it themselves and are just posting it around anywhere that will tolerate crap like this).

Amateur hour quality leak. Fucking hell.

[Kyphael]

No more expansions and FOMO-fueled seasons of content and zone updates? That almost sounds too good to be true. No point of maintaining the same game design after that soul-crushing level squish to appeal super casuals and newcomers.

[dope_danny]

As usual i lean to bullshit but also remember that screencap collage of all the mmo champion posters laughing at the "ridiculous warlords of dreanor fake leaks" so never write anything of until its proven horseshit.

Read about three points, it's just Doom Porn, moving on.

Yeah but those leaks usually come from fresh, one-post accounts, or someone with a bit more... trust(?); didn't paula deen talk about a bunch of "leaks" that turned out to be true? Surely people like the OP are worth a bit more scrutiny than just a pinch of salt.

[ro9ue]

Are there any other game developers or even entertainment industry companies where people care this much about the inner workings?

I'd say Riot and Square Enix at times.


But this is definitely a high water mark for obsession with WoW's behind the scenes.

I can totally see Thrall flossing as he calls all fortnite gamers celestial time champions to get in the battle circle assemble in a timewarped zone and complete daily challenges achieve feats of temporal worth to farm v-bucks fragments of compressed eternity bills to afford the latest battle pass the new chronicle of [blank] and it's rewards. All before Batman arrives and informs us that the Terminator and Rick Sanchez are default dancing over Jaina in the Heart Chamber of Azeroth. /s

Ion stress eating part made me laugh though.

This had me rolling.

[Kallisto]

Exactly, but once it got fixed, factions were already unbalanced, so we would expect Alliance racials buffs.

The alliance actually has better racials according to those running for world first and theory crafters. It's just there's still no point jumping to alliance since in the raiding scene too many people are on the horde side.

[Self Inflicted Wounds]

Isn’t citing 4chan as a credible source of information in WoW (or anything else for that matter) like looking to The Onion for valid news?

Relapses didn’t even defend Blizzard. He/she/they just replied to your post showing how blatantly wrong your train of thought is. That’s not defending Blizzard.
Your reply certainly shows ignorance and bias.

Hey the Onion has been right a few times.

That's what people said about the Cataclysm and WoD leak.

Do you still have those I can read?

[Val the Moofia Boss]

First, I'm more inclined to believe 4chan leaks because if you're going to break NDA, you do it by posting to 4chan.

Second reason why I'm more inclined to believe the leak is that it makes some out-there claims that aren't commonly predicted, namely:

> Infinite Dragonflight
> time walkers
> Players will have an experience closer to Diablo 3’s adventure mode. You will create your character and have a series of “campaigns” to play through solo or with friends but also a seasonal track comparable to a battle pass using a system like renown. The idea being no matter what content you do be it some random quests in the Eastern Plaguelands or Island Expeditions in Kul Tiras you will always be advancing your seasonal track.

That being said, the author then goes on to make these claims:

>Danuser is insufferable.
> Ion doesn't care.

This sounds a little too much like trying to tell the audience what they want to hear.

>The game is monumentally tilted to horde in terms of userbase now and its almost entirely due to racial

Hm, I doubt that's the main reason. At this point, all of the normies that would have played beautiful Alliance races are long gone, so that just leaves you with the diehard Warcraft fans. Ofcourse the game is tilted towards the Horde. The Horde is what is unique about Warcraft. There is an arguement to be made that the Horde fans so outweigh the Alliance that it's hard to raid on Alliance servers, so what blues were left flipped red so they could get a quality game experience.

Hell yeah, the Infinite Dragonflight are returning! Been waiting for and harping on this for like 3 years. My confirmation bias is in full swing and this leak is definitely a real one. Forward slash S!

Dragon Isles is too safe of a claim and would've made me suspicious if he had said it.

If you're going to bother posting at least do minor fucking fact checking. She immediately clarified that what she hadn't seen before was the art and in-game assets for Zereth Mortis.


The retard who posted this on 4chan couldn't even manage getting the patch name right.

Well there you have it. Leak debunked.

People should know by now from all the bullshit leaks we had about 9.1 and 9.2 that these are just poorly made fan fics.

Everything the 2019 4chan leaker who got fired from Blizzard said was true except for Diablo 4.

Are there any other game developers or even entertainment industry companies where people care this much about the inner workings?

Cloud Imperium Games for sure, aka the developers of Star Citizen.

It's in every community. Even people who only play indie games do research into the funding to make sure there is never a cent from another holding corporation that could be associated with a larger gaming company. WoW isn't special just another game in the industry.

[Trumpcat]

It might be true because it doesn't talk about a Tinker class coming.

[Mysterymask]

I wonder if these "leakers" feel stupid when their "leak" is ultimately proven false? I mean, your made-up BS has a very limited shelf life. Do you like feeling like an idiot when everybody points and laughs at you when it's inevitably proven wrong?

The point isn't to be proven right

The point is to have everyone at each other's throats for the lols

Here is one I found on Cataclysm

Thanks, this ought to be a laugh. I tried to avoid leaks back then incase they were real lol

True there is also the "wishlist versus barebones" deal. Like this one is just as random but seems far more believable.



But even then theres confirmation bias but at the same time people expect things because of inferring from patterns that might be patterns for a reason so they can be guesses, total horse shit or the truth and we never know till after the fact. But folks love to speculate of course.

[Nzx]

Exactly, but once it got fixed, factions were already unbalanced, so we would expect Alliance racials buffs.

What? Why? Make the Alliance ones broken OP so that we have exactly the same problem in reverse...? Glad none of you are designing the game, yikes

[Cwimge]

The stuff about Danuser being insufferable is believable. Not sure about Ion.

It's the man writing his literal waifu. If anything "insufferable" is an understatement
