Battle for Azeroth Alpha/Beta General Discussion

[Romanz]

After Legion was leaked that way I'm sure they are taking more precautions. AKA threatening Con staff.

*holds goody bag up to throat*
SAY A WORD AND THIS IS GONE

[Gib Lover]

That was WoD. Not Legion.

I could have sworn Legion was leaked by a Gamescom employee just posting almost point-for-point the presentation on Legion from a practice run?

If not ignore me, I am old and forgetful.

Anyone else notice an anomaly in the time-space continuum since this weekend?

For some reason, time is moving at a decelerated rate. Idk why, I noticed it really bad this morning clocking in for work. I started working I think 8 hours ago and it's only officially been 4 hours.

Hopefully this isn't exponential, at this rate Thursday night is going to be over 72 hours long.

The convention center might have gotten a formal request for confidentiality by Blizzard with damages involved and in return they'd tell their teamsters that if anything is leaked, they are fired. It's not that unusual tbh.

Perhaps. It would be hard to prove, with so many different groups working on it, which party would be responsible though.

In the end, I think it's ultimately a good thing, even if it requires people to wait impatiently until Friday. A lot of the cooler trailer reveals and whatnot are harder hitting without a leak. Just look at how far under the radar the Legion reveal was and how that turned out.

(God, imagine the reaction to Cata if it hadn't been spilled)

I am literally so fucking impatient for Blizzcon guys holy shit.

I feel your pain. It's pretty depressing but I spend most of my days just waiting for the day to end so we'll be one day closer to BlizzCon.

One group out of how many. I don't mind Blizzard researching new ways to get people to interact with one another(I'm not the best at social interaction myself and I sometimes have no idea why I dislike it). Removing LFG though is just aiming a bazooka at the game and shooting it. I.E. Not helping.

Oh I am not advocating for removal of LFG now, I am just stating the fact that there was more social interaction in vanilla & tbc than there is now.

Yeah, something weird is definitely going on. The time in Azeroth is convoluted...

[Vakir]

It's also important to note that social interaction was different and people WANTED more of it because of server communities being a thing. There were personalities, "celebrities" of a sense, and people knew X or Y person as "one of the better tanks/healers."

Even if people were forced into looking for groups now, Pandora's Box has been opened in fragmenting those communities. I don't think it would have the same impact.

Dunno about that, but WoD had footage of the banner during the pre show hype video. The most noticeable Legion leak was the chinese riddles.

[Vakir]

There was also Jericho21 spilling literally the whole thing, but it was so short and innocuous that most people missed it entirely.

Weren't chinese riddles a thing in WoD, while Legion was leaked in one of the threads but almost noone gave a shit about it?

Our clocks just went back so that's an extra hour But I'm missing the reveal as I'm on a work trip, so I hope I can catch up with the opening ceremony afterwards on youtube or something :'(

Hehe just posted

So thread opens after the "What's next", makes sense. Also, by the schedule, as WoW next is first, I think we can safely rule out the possibility of NOT having WoW expansion announced.

Also, opening ceremony will be streamed for everyone, or just VT?

lol you can catch up in this thread. Either me or anybody else is going to update this thread with all the Blizzcon infos.

Why is it always Chinese riddles? Is it like a cultural thing or something? Why do they have to deliver their information through riddles?

Blizzard already said they're going to announce the new expansion so what's with this talk?

Heh, yeah. An artist I commissioned is going to Blizzcon too. He's going with his guild's core members and I WISH I COULD DO THAT DX

Chinese are mysterious people apparently. :v
