BlizzCon 2016 - The Opening Ceremony has Started!

[Segus1992]

I agree. It's about as exciting as watching paint dry.

All of it is really a proof that there's nothing exciting happening this BlizzCon at all. Sombra, a fucking hero introduction, was the first reveal. What?

So they are making their own bots now? Also it is kinda getting boring... maybe we shouldn't have a blizzcon this year.. nothing to announce cept some small stuff for existing games..

[Shudder]

This must be the most boring opening ceremony of any BlizzCon ever.

Yep, I stopped watching. I'll just spend 30 secs reading a summed up version. This is too boring.

BlizzCon makes them money, obviously they wouldn't turn that down.

More than 10 minutes talkin AI and E-sports. So sad . No big announcement i guess

Lack of Chris Metzen is really killing the opening ceremony. That and the fact that they have nothing interesting to announce.

I actually agree. He knew how to hype stuff.

Actually the first reveal was a pet in the pet store.

Um... Starcraft AI and eSports? They seriously don't have anything better to open with?

[Harbour]

Boring. No really exciting news, just the same ESports shit and OW dickriding. Nothing interesting about WC Movie Sequel, Diablo or SC franchises continuations. Disappointed.

Let's not forget Sombra and Mischief.

Answer: no. Brace yourselves for the least exciting BlizzCon ever. Only reason they had it is likely revenue and the fact that they couldn't miss the anniversaries.

[Eleccybubb]

Holy shit I don't care about esports until the SC2 finals start -,-

[Jibjub]

I must agree. This is incredibly boring. Feel bad for people who pay / travel for this. This feels more like an all-hands-on-deck company meeting for Blizzard employees.

So far they've announced: A charity crashgrab pet.

Everything else has been overwatch, esports and some AI.

I for one am glad we are at E-'sports'con.

To be fair Charity stuff is a good thing. Always nice to do something for charity in the end. Not saying it's acceptable the lack of actual stuff but you get what I mean.

[Harbour]

It looks like an end. Costumes and stuff. I can almost feel that even Mike is feeling himself uncomfortable with nothing significant left in his sleeves.

[Tommy T]

Fuck sake.
I want WoW / Diablo news.

I think the cash grab comment is mostly since Blizzard does these pets for the massive tax write off and you'd be much better off donating directly rather than help multi-million dollar companies write off their taxes.

most boring opening so far
