I think the problem is if you look at it as "WoWcon".
As a Blizzard Convention, there was so much to it.
Watched a fair amount on VT and other bits on MMOC.
Not sure what more I could have expected

I am ultra happy with Heroes of the Storm and Diablo III expansion.
The rest?
I am totally, even more than in case of Pandas, dissappointed with WoW news, SC2 news, Hearthstone news (I totally dislike this new tauren guitarist card, not my sense of humour, I have more "lols" with Acolyte of Pain and his "Let the pain speak to me").
Blizzcon wasn't worth it. It delivered less than I was expecting. 2 mega cool games vs 3 dissappointments, of which one is huge.

It's just about what I expected to see.
Was it amazing? No, but I saw it as adequate.
Well I've been waiting for two years for some infomation on Project Titan, so I'm pretty dissapointed.
Also WoD looks pretty crap, so no points there.
Did not really live up to my expectations, i wanted at least one new race or class, hoped for 2-3 new races tho.
Their new hero wars game was unimpressive, I've been playing Hero Wars types maps since 2002 when WC3 came out, so it didn't really mean anything to me.
No SC2 info except that the expansion is nowhere near finished.
Hearthstone: will get more cards in expansion...who would've thought?
D3 ROS: knew most of the things about it for months through websites datamining.
WoW: WOD, was pleasantly surprised, but any lack of world PVP innovation like city sieges or naval combat made it feel a bit lackluster. Was told that if the new models' overall facial appearance don't match my current models' I could suck it up and cough up 15$ x my number of characters. Ouch. Didn't hear anything about future panda lore though, so that's a plus.
Overall, underwhelming.
No class panel completely disappointed me. For the people who were like "oh well they aren't changing classes that much," that's total crap because this was the first blizzcon without a class panel, and a class panel would have been way way more useful than a 1 hour demonstration of a pre-beta heroes of the storm - on the panels stage. :/
Most of you fail to realize Blizzcon is about more than just WoW.
Two new games.
Two expansions
More info on the movie.
That's more than any other Blizzcon has ever had to offer.
So stop being pretentious elitist douches and relax a bit.
I went to Blizzcon. It was pretty decent, but holy shit why did so many people SMELL so bad?! Even when I wasn't standing in a room full of people, it was like passerby's hadn't showered for a month.
Sickening.
2011 was more exciting(3 fully rendered cinematics for three new games). Better contests, etc.
But this wasn't as bad as 2010 when there was basically nothing to announce.
I think it was a bit underwelming. I was expection more information.
As a person who bought Virtual Ticket, it's amazing...I had three screens up and I was constantly flicking around, I don't want to miss anything, all the esports, invitationals are amazing. Starcraft 2 have me clenching my seats, cheered when Skill-capped finally grabbed the victory, facepalmed so hard when *cough* someone missed a lethal in Hearthstone haha...so much energy and excitement from the fans I can feel it from all across the pacific ocean.
For WoW, I am really really excited about all the rubbish stats being gone as well as dynamic stats on main armor pieces. Have to admit the lore confuses me, but folks at reddit cleared it up for me . Not too worried about mythic mode, since I have been around for a while, moving guilds and/or recruiting has never been a problem for me. Good time to steal a couple more RL friends with the free 90.
Diablo 3 still feels kinda underwhelming, there's not really that much excitement coming from the crowd, Blizzard has a lot more work here to win back the players. We'll see.
Dustin Browder seems really excited about HoTS, I feel comfortable with him at the helms of development, since they did a pretty good job with SC2.
Heroes of the storm, WoD (only a few details, making it even better) and the arena tournament (I enjoy watching arena tournaments sup!)
Just a pity for Titan, I guess we'll hear a word or two about it the next year if there's a Blizzcon.
This Blizzcon just felt like it was lacking substance. There was no new SCII stuff so that could have been part of why it felt like there was a lack of panels. I had hoped for at least some teaser on the next SCII expansion or philosophy to prime us for next year and instead we got nothing. The info on the WoW expansion was lacking compared to previous panels or at least in information I was interested in hearing. The DIII panel was IMO better this year than prior and the team had more energy. With WoW and heroes there just felt like there was too much philosophical beating around the bush resulting in my loss of attention and turning to watching the SCII tournament. Heroes seems still too far out which lead to really not much technical stuff being talked about with it largely repeating things talked about two years ago. The only panel that really justified the beating around the bush was the movie and well that is how movies are and you really want to reduce spoilers for such even when they are based on a book or known lore.
