wow Incredible Patch 7.2 Wallpaper

[Starym 3,779]

 

We've seen some pretty amazing fan and official art, but this one takes the wallpaper-combining-different-art-sources game to the next level, using Chronicle assets and datamined textures to create something truly great. Sure, it looks more like a tease for 7.3 aka Argus than a Tomb of Sargeras wallpaper, but it's very impressive nonetheless:

Sources:
Titans, Alleria / Khadgar / Turalyon, Sargeras / Burning Legion, Tomb of Sargeras from Chronicle & Chronicle II.

Argus and borders are from datamined textures of 7.2 (7du_kiljaeden_argus_planet01 and other related texture stuff) + 7FX_Decal_FelCreepCenter01 inverted in colour repeated along the border.

You can check out other variations on the wallpaper, including versions without individual logos and with different resolutions right here.

Very nice indeed. Doesn't an entire planet deserve expansion instead of patch? ;)

Even MORE Legion after Legion? Threy have to keep changing it up expansion after expansion imo.

I definitely agree. There's been a trend lately where there's overlap however. While not an expansion, Siege of Orgrimmar lasted a very long time, which was just Orcs on top of more Orcs. This was followed up with Warlords of Draenor, which was undeniably oriented around Orcs and Legion. So there's some overlap there as well, as the Legion transitioned into this expansion.

Then again though, I think there's merit in Legion as it is, quite frankly, one of the three main antagonist factions (Burning Legion and Old Gods/Void Lords as the main two right now with Scourge having been a close third until the culmination of WotLK)

Speaking of which, there's usually overlap in that as well, in WotLK we got both Scourge and the Old Gods to deal with into Cataclysm which was Old Gods (Deathwing by proxy) again into MoP wherein the Sha were the main enemy (And Klaxxi by proxy) that culminated into the Old Gods being behind it once again (Y'Shaarj).

 

All in all, I would be okay with the Burning Legion returning in the next expansion as well - Sargeras loves Azeroth after all - but the main theme should be centered against another enemy, possibly Azshara/Naga. The thing is though, after Tomb of Sargeras, there's two ways this can go from here. Either we get to deal with N'zoth or Argus, and I do not know which one would be first. My guess would be Argus because of said artwork - but that never stopped Blizzard from cancelling projects (RIP Abyssal Maw and Neptulon).

Only Blizzard knows (And we might too coming November's Blizzcon)
