    Seems like no Announcement of new xpac at Gamescon

    A few minutes ago the youtube life stream intro was going on. Ion Hazzikostas first words were "its all about pacth 7.3 at gamescon" which seemed to be specifically placed there to tell ppl "no announcement" in the first place.

    maybe they do that to made the wednesday ceremonial thing a bit more surprising. but i think its more to not disappoint ppl that sitting in front of live stream and waitin for an announcement never comin.

    i think the big announce is at blizzcon this time. maybe wednesday, as a "super surprise" on the reveal ceremony thing, as a 30s teaser without any infos or facts, maybe even without xpacs name.

    "announcement ceremony" Either expansion or new IP. there's something to look forward too.

    It's just an Overwatch short.

    They already spoiled that in the preview stream though. And in terms of quality it just doesn't look as cool as the others.

    That wasn't the short, it was a quick trailer made with in-game models for the map announcement.

    So they bring the information we already have access to on sites like this at Gamescom instead of something more exiting?

    I have the same level of demon fatique I had for Orcs at the end of WoD now and I need some good news already

    ^^ I'm surprised at how many people seem to think this was the animated short?? I mean jokes on us if it is but the second i saw in-game models and skins it made me pretty sure it wasn't the short

    I highly doubt we'll see anything beyond further details of the preview material.

    The reveal ceremony will be:

    The full 7.3 trailer.
    Spotlight on Kel'thuzad in Heroes, and probably show off the 3 skins.
    Actual preview of the Fireside Lich King fight in Hearthstone.
    More details on Junkertown and the animated short.
    And more info on Dehaka.

    Expansion reveal will wait till BlizzCon, 7.3.5 and raid will happen a few weeks later, Alpha/Beta testing of expansion begins soon after and expansion next Summer.

    That's my estimate at least. Now to cool down the system now that Gamescom's reveals are basically done for me except for the full trailer.

    Right after it ended they talked about the short that's going to be shown, and they "left to watch it".

    Beta starting at Blizzcon? LOL. Yeah, no. It's good to want things, but be reasonable.

    what is this again ?

  17. #17
    Good! Should always be at Blizzcon.

  18. #18
    Does this mean no details about 7.3.5 features either?

    Legions did a few weeks after. They're probably the same ammount of the way through the next xpac.

    It was idiotic to even expect an expansion announcement before 7.3 is even live yet. Just another case of mindless hype over nothing.

    Are they gonna have a WoW Q&A? Maybe they'll tell us when they're revealing stuff? Maybe tease more systems they're thinking about?
