This Blizzcon is NSFW.

Damn, next WoW expansion is that bad?

[Arthzull]

This guy on the US forums has been adamant for the last 6 days that they will be no expansion announced this BlizzCon.. I hope they don't do that..

[Vasoka]

My body is ready. So is my wallet. I hope they open pre-orders right after Blizzcon, for both new WoW xpac and D4.

[Shadochi]

Just Diablo IV.

I think he was attempting to make a funny

They probably sing the chinese anthem first, that can be a scarring experience.

Jokes aside, I doubt it'll be NSFW, it will probably be NSFC though, which just means that someone might die which can trigger some idiots. Blizzard is not exactly known for sex, blood, gore and guts in their franchises, especially not when trying to please the communist party.

Hopefully the next few hours will fulfill a couple of birthday wishes.

Here's my prediction, as we are just over 2 hours away.

Shadowlands.

Northrend revamp, + Shadowlands as one big zone at endgame (Think Suramar)

1 raid with 2 bosses available at launch.

No new class, no races

Bolvar is our ally, not a villain.

Taelia plays a big part in this expansion.

Level squish, old zones on Kalimdor and Eastern Kingdoms become relevant through world quests.

The new pvp thing is Arena Brawls. Featuring island technology.

Icecrown Citadel is the main hub this expansion.

Sorry, I was being facetious. I'm stoked that we're this close to the con starting and we have no idea what's in store for us outside of the expansion title & Bolvar cinematic.

[Sharby]

Same reason they were against Outland and Pandaria: a very narrow view of fantasy.

This isn't true.


I'm against Tinkers because there's really only two routes they can go and both are very lackluster.


Route A: Restricted to only Gnomes and Goblins, TONS of special flavor just like demon-hunters, but it wouldn't make sense, why couldn't mechagnomes, LFD etc be tinkers as well?


Route B: Other races can be Tinkers, which means bye bye to specialized particles and 'mech skins', but also opens the window as to why can't humans/worgen etc be tinkers too? As being able to be a successful Mage requires way more intellect and brain power than being a successful Tinker, not to mention EVERY Tinker starts out as an Engineer, which all races have access to, what's stopping them from upgrading to a Tinker? Thus, the class becomes a hero class and is VERY diluted in terms of theme.


I'd rather them do something else.

[ScarletKnives]

What if not new expansion?

They will show 8.4 starring Bolvar and the Shadowlands

*Booing intensifies*

Hope we aren't only getting 3 characters on launch?

Probably demo characters

[Nyel]

Blizzard is teaming up with Brazzers, that’s why they’ve this NSFW sign up.

[Edlarel]

Not exactly, maybe just a few more hints that aren't public that were sent to me over the past day, but nothing huge because I specifically asked people not to send me things this close to BlizzCon. I want to be at least a little surprised myself.

Honestly, I get that. Still, just seeing you and a few others post small things like this is enough to raise the hype level of many of us because we've seen your previous work. Take that for the good or ill it might be.

[HailArthas]

Hope we aren't only getting 3 characters on launch?

Old school to just have 3. I wanna say the leak said 4 classes coming as paid DLC, but I could be so very wrong, so don't quote me on that.

[Shadochi]

Lol at all these accounts with only a couple posts that joined in Oct 2019 claiming no new expansion...
