BlizzCon 2018 WoW Megathread

[infinitemeridian]

you really want another Vashj'ir? I means sure I loved that zone, but I was one of the few, people moaned about that zone so much in Catalcysm... for the safety of the sensitive ones, it would be nice to see a mixed land and water type zone

Vashir was beautiful and creative. I'm tired of yet another reskinned mushroom forest with the same color pallet as Eye of Ashzara / McRee.

What an absolute joke, looks like they're really doubling down on keeping BFA the garbage expansion that it is. This expansion really is in the dumps. Comparing the hype and presentation of Legion's What's Next panel to this is a complete and utter joke. Going from revealing the advancement of class campaigns and Mage towers, to more islands, a half-assed presentation of 8.2, and two shitty heritage armors. Yikes.

I been enjoying this expansion, abiet the boring warfronts, GCD changes and no tier sets. But the new stuff looks great
. Maybe I am just optimistic

I agree with you, we are some of the few unfortunately :P

[allegrian]

Look at the models, they are not meant to be a playable race. Maybe they will update them later, but I doubt it.

If the armor doesn't cover the arms and legs, it's perfectly possible.

And I doubt they'd put so much effort into them and not make them playable, as they fit perfectly as an allied race.

And horde may get vulpera or the naga goblins.

How was audience reaction through this?
apparently the Diablo audience booed

I agree, but already expected the developers not to have the balls to design another underwater zone. Would have loved another one.

Their arms, legs and head are highly detailed and would not work with the current way armor is applied via textures.

LFM heroic warfront 385+ item level!!!

But then you lose the bracer, hand, and feet slots entirely.

It's not happening, folks just have to accept it. The armor problem is going to keep it from happening. If you forcibly show the augmentations then they basically don't wear armor. If you show the armor, then when they're geared up they look indistinguishable from a real gnome.

There was maybe only one boo the entire time.

But you could tell as soon as they said that the next raid would have only 8 bosses the air was out of the room.

Sethrak!

It was very good, alots of cheers the presenters had great humor & the crowd was into it.

[nyc81991]

The people working at Blizzard are completely out of touch these days.

[Arbs]

Sethrak!

Umm that is the fish from the Azshara Warbringer, That was actually N'Zoth.

The presenter sucked homie. Literally one of the most boring panels I've seen in regards to actual presentation.

[George Lucas]

The fish/N'zoth from the Azshara trailer.

[Slowpoke is a Gamer]

Umm that is the fish from the Azshara Warbringer. N'Zoth

With Sylvanas serving him as the 2nd to final boss, given that apparently she now wields Knaifu.

[Brocksley]

Pretty obvious mechagnomes and vulpera are going to be allied races at some point.

To me it seemed pretty obvious that they AREN'T going to be allied races now. The vulpera story is over and moved on from, why announce this new Mechagon zone if not to announce a new race, but they didn't. Also, the 1.5 patch will have the next allied race, the 2.5 will have the goblin/worgen updates, which means unless they do a double feature for a new allied race in 2.5, there won't be any more allied races this expansion.

Even if it covers it (maybe they could add an option), you'll have the head, racials, etc. It's not much different from armored Dark Iron, lightforged or mag'har

Oh, You are right.

The middle one was pretty good. He moved quickly through content that he knew we weren't there for, had good humor to try and keep us invested, and unlike Ion and Muffinus he didn't stop and explain every little minutia of the patch.

[Goldielocks]

So they barely revealed anything about 8.3 aside from N'zoth being teased? Damn that's disappointing.
