Blizzcon special mini-update!

Blizzcon 2010 Schedule now Available
The schedule for the Blizzcon is now available, the WoW schedule is as follow:

Friday, October 22
Opening Ceremony - 11:00AM - 11:30AM
Dungeons & Raids Panel - 01:30PM - 02:30PM
Quests & Lore Panel - 03:00PM - 04:00PM
Live Raid - 04:30PM - 05:30PM
Tournament - From 12:00PM to 08:30PM
Saturday, October 23
Cinematics: Cataclysm - 10:30AM - 11:30AM
World of Warcraft Class Q&A - 12:00PM - 01:00PM
World of Warcraft Open Q&A - 01:30PM - 02:30PM
World of Warcraft Art - 03:00PM - 04:00PM
Tournament - From 10:00AM to 04:30PM

This is a pre-expansion Blizzcon and we probably won't see a lot of omgawesome announcements. However, I wouldn't be surprised if the "Cinematics: Cataclysm" was the first screening of the Cataclysm cinematic, that would explain why they encrypted movies in the game files to prevent datamining.



Blizzcon 2010 Tickets are out!
If you're attending Blizzcon, you probably received your ticket in your mail. (Don't bother with the bar code, it's a fake)

    Yay, Blizzcon! Perhaps they'll give us details on the first major content patch for Cataclysm...

    You forgot to mention the custom contest at Friday 6PM to 8PM.

    I had hoped they would have more on Diablo 3, as both Cataclysm and SC2 dont need any more press.

    Overall disappointing

    I just hope that RayV has prepared better than last year for the event. Last year they underestimated the amount of bandwidth they would need and lots of people ended up with stuttering or lagging live views (yeah it's really annoying to miss 3-4 secs of a panel or opening ceremony every 5 min); people even had to switch to the low bandwidth version while having paid for the HD one.

    If this year is gonna be the same bad service it will be the last thing i ever bought from rayv.

    Funny, the things you mention I never experienced last year, guess the problem was at your end and not Blizzards..

    Anyways, when will we be recieving our notification if we like I did ordered the Live Stream?
    And I assume that Portugal is same time diffrence as Denmark..

    Funny, you are one of the only people that did not experience those problems, read last year's live topic and rayv forums and you will see the thousands of comments about it. This makes me fairly sure that the problem was not at my end.

    By the way, your first comment makes me fairly sure that you did not see the livestream _at all_ last year; if you did you wouldn't say it was Blizzard, because the ordering process and the confirmation emails made it _very_ clear that the livestream was hosted by RayV and not by Blizzard.

    Your question after that makes me 100% sure that you did not watch it last year and you are just trolling, because you would know that you receive the login details about 3 days before the event like last year.

    Ask them about the chance of a new wow gfx engine and new models for old races.

    Looking forward to this but people are right, not a lot of D3

    I wander if most of the opening ceremony is D3 stuff, like the new class and stuff.

    If you order the Live Stream, they also record all panels so that you can watch them On-Demand for up to a week after the event.

    Would love to go to blizzcon, but it's just too far away. Especially for such a short event.
    Most websites only post the raw details.

    They always leave out little bits (that you may or may not care about).

    Plus, some websites mis-interpretate what is said.

    This is why i like to watch it first hand.

    Also, it's not listed on the schedule but Linkin Park will be performing Saturday night at the end of the convention. The 3rd single from their new album "A Thousand Suns" is called "Iridescent" and will be used in the Cataclysm promotion videos.
