Amazing Fan-made New Eastern Kingdoms Loading Screen

Recommended Posts

eGgxIeY.png
 

We have some impressive fanart to share today, as slendydaddy has looked ahead and, in preparation Shadowlands, re-made the Eastern Kingdoms loading screen! There's been some criticism on the people included, especially the very Alliance-heavy lean, but it's pretty damn good regardless, even though it could use some more Horde presence (as Valeera isn't affiliated with the Horde at all) and Malfurion's inclusion is a little weird. Perhaps slendydaddy knows something about Shadowlands we don't?

it's strange blizzard seemed to want to bring people back to the old zones in BfA but didn't change the loading screens to reflect that, I can't even remember the last time they changed significantly for EK or Kal

It feels quite a bit oversaturated to be honest (Malfurion comes through as the first holy druid of the Warcraft universe), but I like the theme.

They're still the loading screens from Cataclysm, that's when Thrall started wearing the super bead necklace.

I'd like it if they'd take these good fan-mades and just use them.

It's literally free labor, if someone wants their work in there.  

Would be nice but I assume that they can without paying the artist. The question is then why would they and not ask someone they already pay internally!

They wouldnt have to pay them internally to do it, they can focus on creating new content.  There are probably plenty of people who would volunteer to have their work used in major game for little or nothing.  

This guy created the work with zero promise of payback, after all.

...then blizz should have no problem using it for free.  It certainly looks better than current art.

Not really, especially since there is no loth'remar here... And the night elves still live in Kalimdor.

BTW Starym, he does not know something about shadowlands we dont.
He made a kalimdor one too, but it has gallywix leading the goblins (He left the horde... Gazlowe is leading) He also has cairne, instead of baine. He also has thrall with doomhammer and his old look. As Well as Lilian voss, a barely visible velen, and a random troll.

Well, I don't think I see what's so amazing about a bunch of character arts copy-pasted into Eastern Kingdoms map. Moreso, the filters make them blend with the background turning the picture into yellowish mess, duh.

Not necessarily this picture, but other fan art that might be more accurate. 

I mean all they gotta do is put out a feeler and SOMEONE will make it.  I guarantee it.  

I mean a chance to have your own artwork in a major retail game?  

...and for the night elves, I swore their entire main city portaled to SW after the tree burnt.

So a full list of everything wrong in both maps.

 

EK-
Malfurion is still in darkshore.

Greymane does not look like that in wow, that is Hots artwork.

Mekkatorque artwork is already out of date, as he now has a large machine on his chest.

Valeera is not part of the blood elves, she is part of the Alliance, he instead of Loth'remar makes no sense.


That dwarf is magni... Who does not lead the dwarves, and is made of diamonds right now. Why is he there instead of at least ONE of the council of three hammers who lead the dwarves.

 

Kalim-

Velen is extremely overexposed why? he looks so bad in this.

The thrall art is straight from warcraft, why there is random orcs in the background, idk but it makes it cluttered. Thrall is also weilding doomhammer, and well this is art from warcraft reforged, yes this is thrall from over 10 years ago, he looks nothing like this now.
That tauren is cairne... who has been dead for many years now... that is not baine...

I do not know who this troll is in the top right but its not Rokhan.

Why is gallywix here? he has also left the horde along side sylvanas, he is no longer the leader of the goblins. Gazlowe is.

 

Final score-

EK has only 1 person correct.

Kalim has only 2 people correct, but one of them looks like a blob.

 

 

I normally would not go this hard on something fan made, but its rather easy to do if not just time consuming, as none of the artwork is actually fan made, its just blizz artwork put together on top of a map. Especially since so many things are just blatantly wrong that could have been easily fixed by using other characters.

The issue of "There is no art of them" doesent work, cause if you are going to use genn's artwork from hots, why not gazlowes? As gazlowe is leading the goblins, not gallywix.

There is also up to date loth'remar art, so no excuse of "valeera was the only one with up to date art"

 Pair that with news sites like this blowing it up "AMAZING FAN MADE" and blowing off right out mistakes as "Perhaps the mistake was not a mistake, and they know something we dont." I know its a slow news day but come on.

 

 

 

Its a good job of throwing stuff together, im sure removing the background from some of these pieces must have been hell. But it coulda been done a lot better, and the person does not "know something about shadowlands we do not" im more annoyed this is somehow passed as worthy news, then someone having just made it.

Valeera isnt Alliance nor Horde! She fights for her friends and ideals no matter which faction they belong to.

      We have another triple entry in the hotfix ledger, as Radiant Echoes gets more improvements in retail, while Season of Discovery and Cata Classic get additional class changes.
       August 7  (Source)
      Player-characters
      Steady Flight should no longer be removed after entering an Arena. Quests
      We tuned up the Prototype Shredder MK-03 so that “Eye for an Eye” can be completed. Radiant Echoes Event
      Increased Flightstone and upgrade Crest drop rates in the event. Reduced the HP scaling on all event bosses so that they should be killable in a more-reasonable timeframe. Developers’ notes: This includes both ‘minibosses’ (e.g. Hogger, Thorim) and final bosses (e.g. Remembered Onyxia, Ragnaros). Season of Discovery
      Hunter Heart of the Lion once again has a 100 yard range. Warrior The Focused Rage rune will now correctly reduce the cost of Meathook by 3. Cataclysm Classic
      Fixed an issue where Faerie Fire did not deal intended amounts of threat when used on NPCs targeting another unit.

      Due to a bug introduced with the War Within pre-patch, some players are receiving item level 250 gear from the weekly cache.
      We've seen numerous reports on Reddit and the official forums that the Last Hurrah weekly quest on live servers drop low-level gear for some players. Apparently, the bug was first introduced with the War Within pre-patch two weeks ago and still hasn't been fixed.
      Here's an example of a low item level drop from the Cache of Awakened Treasures by Omnifox.

      Week 2 brings quite a few changes, as Hunters in particular rise up, while Shadow has a really bad time. The top 3 remains the same and very consistent, so let's jump in and see what's going on.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      The top 3 remains quite stable with the Evoker-Paladin-Warrior trio reigning supreme. We see the first change of the week right after that though, as Frost DK continues its upward march in dungeons as well as in raids, taking 4th from Elemental. Both DKs are on the rise, as Unholy also moves a spot up, taking advantage of Shadow's precipitous 5-spot fall to the bottom of the top 10. Arms remains stable as two Hunters burst in, Beast Mastery taking 8th and Marksmanship 9th, as Frost Mage disappears down towards the bottom. Speaking of the bottom, Devastation gets some new roommates there, as Outlaw and Destruction fall and give Enhancement and Feral a break.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      As with the top percentiles, the top 3 remains solid, but 4th is immediately changed, thanks to Shadow's massive drop in performance this week. The Priest loses even more ground here, falling 9 spots into 13th, opening 4th up for Arms. Beast Mastery moves even higher here, grabbing 5th and moving in front of Elemental and Frost DK, as Marksmanship brings up the rear and completes the Hunter sandwich in 8th. Affliction breaks into the top 10, just ahead of Unholy which dropped to the final spot.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Raw DPS U.GG DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks.
      Frost DK finds itself on top in the raw DPS rankings, as Augmentation isn't calculated properly here. Fury and Arms grab the next two spots, moving ahead of Ret, and the Fyr'alath wins continue in 5th, where Unholy finished the legendary axe streak. Even Survival joins the Hunter good times in 8th, where all three specs gather, just ahead of Balance who closes out the top 10.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides (updated for the pre-patch), as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

      MoP Remix characters that will transfer over to retail will receive a gear boost!
      With Patch 11.0.2 now live on Public Test Realms, you can copy over MoP Remix characters from retail! It appears all MoP Remix characters will receive a character boost so you can dive straight into action when the War Within expansion launches.

      We can't unfortunately log in to the game with the MoP Remix char on the PTR so we can't confirm the Item Level of gear for max level characters. However, keep in mind that the gear boost will scale with your level, so if you're below max cap, you will receive gear appropriate to your current level.
      When Can We Expect MoP Remix Characters to Transfer to Retail?
      MoP Remix ends on August 19, so we assume the characters will need to be transferred to retail by August 22 when Early Access begins.
