Deciphering the BlizzCon Schedule - What can we learn?

[Galathir]

Okay, that a new expansion for WoW would not be revealed was already clear before. However I would at least have expected something about the next Content Patch and Raid Tier.
I won't expect too much from the Movie Panel after the giant letdown that was last year's.

But I'm curious about the 12-2 gap too.

I do have to ask why it's confirmed?

I mean if they truly desire to force expansions out once a year, are they going to finally break their boycott of E3 and reveal it there?

The slot is a Chris Metzen solo LARP event, he plays all his ingame characters at once.

This made me laugh aloud. I am all for it /fangirlswoon

[Galathir]

They've truly desired to force out yearly expansions since TBC and they never came even close. Expecting a reveal here when WoD isn't even released is a big stretch.

[Harbour]

Optimistic view:
-Warcraft Movie Info+Teaser Trailer from SDCC
-SC2 Legacy of the Void Cinematic Trailer
-D3 New Expansion.

Pessimistic view (realistic):
-Warcraft Movie Info (couple concept arts and "We tried to make it cool for everyone and we hope you would like it!"/"Sorry, we think that we shouldnt show you teaser trailer because the CGI-part still in process" shitty phrases)
-SC2 LotV Gameplay Trailer with few new units
-D3 New Expansion.

Thats everything i await. Dont interested in other shit.

But not revealing it now is admitting it won't happen.

The tweets about wanting yearly expansions with 2 tiers each sounds to me like they've got the reveal planned, and if they're late, they're late.

I learned that there's somehow even less that I'm interested in happening at Blizzcon than I could have ever expected.

[Abysal]

This Blizzcon is for the other games, especially Heroes of the Storm. It's not an important Blizzcon for WoW.

[Jibberjabber]

12-2. Greg 'Ghostcrawler' Street challenges Brian 'Holinka' Holinka and Chadd 'Celestalon' Nervig to a 1 v 2 class balance-off. Winning team gets to be hated slightly less than losing team.

I am hoping for something spectacular in that two hour block - but overall, I am just excited to be going

[Jester Joe]

I think 3 hours is too much for an HD repaint.

What, just a 3 hour lets play?

It's gotta be something new where they need the time to dump info on us.

New modes for the games? Details about how they painstakingly remade it from the ground up and what not? They could find something, they talk forever about other stuff.

I doubt War4 will happen anytime soon, actually. But I have my hopes up.

Well yeah, War4 is a nope, the HD remakes of 1-3 are reasonable though.

I really don't want the next expansion revealed before this one is even out. That would make every look towards the next expansion immediately and just crap out on all the hype that has been put in to WoD.

[chaddd]

Not too sad I am not going this year. So little WoW info... I am not terribly interested in many of the other Blizzard IPs.

They have been saying yearly xpacs since tbc, I don't expect it to ever happen.

Space after opening ceremony is a deliberate attempt to draw in more ticket purchases from curiosity. Must.... resist....

Can you not buy a ticket in the 5 minutes between opening ceremony and main panel if they reveal something? :P instead of being an idiot like the rest of us

[ghostblade]

i think diablo expansion not yet more future patches. starcraft yea that one must be shown atleast i believe but the 12-2 is odd

Or you can just wait 5 mins and whatever it is will be posted on the front page.

Surely it dawns on you that someone with over 3k posts since 2010 realizes that, but pays for it for other reasons....

He clearly says what the reason is in his post...
