9.0 General Discussion

[ercarp]

The expansion we need, but not the expansion we deserve!

(Also disappointed that a feature isn't "Gold Cap raised x100)

I also forgot Tinkers.

[Wangming]

And WoD would've been remembered better if it didn't scrap a major content patch. Don't think people would mind time traveling orcs as much then.

With all the system changes and model updates, it could have been WoW 2.0

Instead it went down in history as WoW 0.2

I hope Blizz and this forum forgets them too

What is your most hyped xpac immedietely after the announcement trailer? Gotta be Cata for me. No xpac ever seemingly promise more.

Wotlk, i will probably never feel the same feeling as to when Wotlk was announced here:

This was peek hype for me followed by the trailer and the music, just a perfect announcement.

I was kinda ehhh about BFA, The CG trailer was great but the features trailer promised really little and i was instantly sceptical when they started talking about island expeditions and how they won't get repetitive and Warfronts being PVE only. Insta Red Flags.

Hello world, today is the day! Ready to be disappointed?

[SilverCoin]

Ty to all of you
Have fun with the opening cereminy im really hyped already

[Nyel]

Man, where’s the trademark, I don’t want to wait anymore

Screenshot / Satellite picture or it didn't happen.

It was covered up by the russians. The truth is out there

[protip]

I liked all reveals almost equally. Other than BfA that is...

I was actually pretty interested by the change in tone and focus during the cinematic. I was curious to see if they could pull off the change in direction, but at this point I'm pretty convinced that wasn't the right call unless it was just a last hurrah for the faction war.

Always! And Blizzard never disappoint to disappoint!

Can't be disappointed if you set your expectations low (BfA reskin on a new continent with a new theme, all systems same)

8 more hours. Time to double down (yes I know most of these are obvious but this is a big thing for me okay):

- New cinematic with The Bolvar
- Shadowlands is the name
- Bastion/Kyrian is part of demo content

Will it change much? We already know it's Shadowlands. Only real thing that could happen is if it turned out to be something else, but the chances for that are almost non-existant

To be fair, I've been watching Blizzcon since Cata and everytime to announce a new Expansion It's super fucking hype, regardless of how bad or good it was in the end.
I'm a simple man, I see lore consequences and cool trailers and I'm all good.

As for expectation, I might set myself up for failure but I hope we get a new class and serious existing class overhauls.

I'll call you on those predictions and raise you:

Tinkers
Riftlands art is real
Talent revamp

That cheer for "new dances"...

Maybe this is the year when it actually happens.

Jokes aside, I do want new character customization options. New beards, hairstyles, tattoos, scars, etc.

I kinda liked the reveal cinematic. Problem is, as the panels went on it became apparent that there are way too many question unanswered.

I’m still not 100% set on Shadowlands. A trademark would change my mind.

BFA did not hype me at all.

Oooh, how daring. I like it.
