They need to make it ugly, I don't think my hunter can handle nice mail set at this point. It will cause brain malfunction in me.

This is literally why my Hunter is a Mag'Har lol. That Heritage is sexy

[CasualFilth]

Venthyr or maldraxus seems to be the most interesting for me

Same as well. Looking forward to what they will do with those.

The color schemes of the covenants
Red
Blue

Blue with a little bit of green

[TheRealDavidTwo]

So-.. were any features... announced there?

[Sluvs]

I swear to god, that the protest of that kid and that guy at the Q&A will remain with me forever.

Jesus, the cringe.

Jesus, the cringe.

Worst part is that he was probably egged on by his parents or whatever.

I mean, I agree with the protest, but even I cringed.
Especially at the kid.

[Aeluron Lightsong]

I didn't watch it but so...yeah.

My final thoughts on the WoW side of Blizzcon:

Rating: 7.5.
I liked the Cinematic. Especially the "Oh fuck!" moment when she broke the helmet.
Theme was predictable. New zones look great. Covenants sound interesting. The only "main feature" that really got me excited it the upcoming cosmetic options though.
I love Taliesin & Evitel, but all that people want from Q&A announcers is for them to get to many questions in the limited time. They are definitely not the person for that. Quite sad that forum questions once again got no chance.

But, while initially I thought I would get none of the features I had desired, Ion announced Server Mergers. He did the same 2 years ago. But if he keeps his word this time, that's my threshold of satisfaction for this expansion met. So, count me on board with this one fully. I'll wave that Blizzard flag with a smile.

[Ersula]

Based on what Ion explained, the context of the new death knight starting zone is,

*die in BFA
*Body washes up in Northrend
*get recruited to defend Bolvar from Sylvanas
*oversleep the day it mattered
*get fired

LOL Imagine having parents who encourge you

[Aeluron Lightsong]

Wrong place to do it.

[Revamp Man]

I would like to see the face of Pyromancer now that his beloved Chronicles is semi-canon haha

Bro they made him jizz because "chronicle is canon from the perspective of the Titans" so he will still say it is lying

[Sluvs]

Worst part is that he was probably egged on by his parents or whatever.

Yep, that only makes it worst. Or maybe he knew the guy that said it first.

I mean, I agree with the protest, but even I cringed.
Especially at the kid.

I agree with it too. But my god.

I mean, at least protest in the right game, in hearthstone, was there a protest at all?

[Aeluron Lightsong]

Bro they made him jizz because "chronicle is canon from the perspective of the Titans" so he will still say it is lying

I mean why would the Titans lie about it. What point is there in lying in how the universe came about? Certainly not for no reason. As I said to someone else, I hope Blizzard isn't turning Titans into big assholes, I like the vibe that they are just as flawed as us "mortals."

just waiting for more interviews to come out.

Solid 8/10 on the hype meter.

From all the reveals I remember

MoP got a 7
WoD got an 8.5
Legion got a 9
BFA got a 6.

Now my actual expansion ratings.

MoP-8.75
WoD-5
Legion-9
BFA-7

[Nagawithlegs]

Them not saying Tyrande was a big character in Shadowlands during the panels was a huge mistake.

I think one of BfA's biggest missteps was being released after Legion.

[Chickat]

I think one of BfA's biggest missteps was being released after Legion.

BFA released after WoD probably would have seen a ton of praise tbh. Legion almost feels like they took the systems of BFA and made them better. Makes no sense really.

[TheFirstOnes]

"They created the Jailor as a mysterious new figure. He is an important part to the mythology of the cosmology. He is not someone that we know, but familiar figures will be aligned with him or opposing him. He is the centerpiece villian of the expansion."- The WoW Q&A!

Okay, so he'll either be the KJ of the Expansion, or the N'zoth/Argus of the Expansion. My money's on the KJ of the Expansion, with Sylvanas being the Gul'dan of it.

That would be amazing. Hope it's really like that
