11.0: If this is Avaloren it is luxury

no it hasnt. people were claiming Shadowlands and Dragonflight leaks were proven false and they were in fact NOT PROVEN FALSE pointing out reused assets when the devs are flat out using AI you really expect the AI to create things out of thin air?

Yeah, someone would have to deliberately have pushed A LOT of specific things through AI, had them tailored exactly like previous WoW expansion trailers to make this.

Itā€™s an overwhelming amount of work for a fake.

ā€œItā€™s made by AIā€ seems like a cheap cop-out. AI isnā€™t this good on itā€™s own. It would need a lot of constraints and rules to make something this good.

Any AI artwork Iā€™ve tried to make, honestly looks like trash, lol.

It looks too handcrafted to be fake, to me at least.

You would be surprised by the lengths that people will go to while creating a fake leak or hoax. Even if itā€™s not made by AI, itā€™s still very likely a fake. Not a half bad fake, but still probably fake.

I said it in another thread, this wouldnā€™t be hard to pull off either. Expansion trailers have followed the same formula for years now, and everything in this leak is stuff the community has been speculating on for a few weeks now.

So someone with enough time had all the information they needed to make a really convincing leak.

I have a feeling itā€™s real, but I wouldnā€™t mind being wrong. I canā€™t say the concept as presented there is especially compelling. Iā€™d be shocked if it was an old world revamp, Iā€™m not expecting that until at least the expansion after next.

So what youā€™re saying is, if OP gets banned we have confirmed the leak is real.

If OP keeps posting the leak is fake.

Hey OP, still there?

Blizzard: ā€œThese are totally fake, but letā€™s just ban this poster to get them all riled up.ā€

Who knows? Maybe a bunch of bored Blizzard employees got together and made a convincing leak just to take a shot whenever a doomsday thread popped up.

Dude, just calm down and wait like . . . 7 days for Blizzcon. Or however many days it is, itā€™s less than 2 weeks now.

Basically I am not hacking data because I am not the YouTuber who did it, other than that I cannot post images in the post so I am not committing anything. If I were the hacker who did it and Iā€™m not a hack And Iā€™m trust level 2, I canā€™t post anything.

even reposting hacks and the like is grounds for a ban. go ask take two what they do with people who post leaks.

This is someoneā€™s Pepe Silvia

The smoking gun is the triceratops in the jungle the titan pillar with orbs were shown as IRL set objects for blizzcon

The leak is real

Would not be surprised if this was a Bait.

The triceratops is the only thing that really gives me any sort of pause. That looks good. Like, really good. It could be created and faked pretty easily though. Either way, weā€™ll see whether this is true or not soon enough.

Looks good but I donā€™t think that Less Zones and Dungeons will save WoW.

I like dwarves, I think theyā€™re one of the more interesting and fun races. Scottish hermits that love drinking, blowing things up and just went through a civil war? Yeah, theyā€™re lots of fun.

That being said, the pictures have (what I think) are a lot of reused assets, which Blizzard doesnā€™t generally do unless itā€™s something like crates or something like that, which would make sense showing up around Azeroth.

Either way, people have said theyā€™re proven false which makes sense.

Also, I would still love a Void expansion, even though Blizzard said they werenā€™t going in that direction.

Iā€™ve seen the ā€œproven falseā€ thing passed around a few times without any real proof beyond thinking they wouldnā€™t reuse assets. Which is fair to an extent, they would more likely showcase the shiny new stuff and let us stumble over familiar assets after we buy.

Yeah, thatā€™s a good point.

Though if someone told me that those pics were of a custom server, Iā€™d have believed them. They feel like they have that quality.

Well, at this point itā€™s hard to say one way or the other if this is fake or not. If it is fake, itā€™s a very convincing fake. However, some minor things appear to be lining up and suggesting it isnā€™t fake. Hereā€™s the thing: Iā€™ve been around long enough to see this cycle play out time and time again. Iā€™ve seen my fair share of fake leaks, and Iā€™ve seen quite a few real ones that everyone and their mother swore ā€œhad to be fake.ā€

As things currently stand? This seems to be leaning towards the real deal. The key thing for me is in the video from the original post. Go to 3:52 in that video of the area that looks like a jungle setting. Youā€™ll see pillars in the background.

Now, check their tweet from a few days ago:

One of the pictures appears to have convention decorations that are a deadringer for the alleged leak images.

At this point, it might be a safer bet to assume the leak is real.
