9.0 General Discussion

[infinitemeridian]

I feel like some people are expecting way more than what we're gonna get, like they don't know how these opening events look or work. There won't be a special Blizzard only panel dedicated to just WoW, its gonna be a cinematic compilation of every game that's presenting at the event back to back with maybe like a minute or two at most of a dev talking inbetween about their game, the only announcement u should expect is the release date at the end of the Uther episode, no patch info or anything like that, this ain't Blizzcon.

Did you completely miss the Legion announcement?

[Nagawithlegs]

45 minutes to discuss Shadowlands tomorrow is pretty big, there may be some future content announcements.

[Valysar]

I iamgine the release date will be at the end of the first animated short.

I think most of us just expect a cartoon and a release date. One was already announced, the other is overdue.

>Trailer

>Release date

>MAYBE announcing even something tangible for the patch after 9.0 since there's no Blizzcon this year

The first two are pretty much certain, the last one is like...5% chance of happening if that.

I think everyone's expectations are pretty curbed, you just need to chill.

[Fahrad Wagner]

I'd pretty hyped if we get a CGI cinematic in addition to one of the Afterlives short video today!

[Sondrelk]

Hopefully we get something interesting. Just played around a bit on my hunter on the PTR and it isnt looking great, what with the playstyle seemingly punishing you for pursuing the only proc the game gives you.

But yes, I would love something substantial beyond a rehasehd trailer with a date at the end. I know that is a likely option, but still.

Why doesn't the stream work?

[unbrained]

Why doesn't the stream work?

because the opening night live has not Started yet!!!

Weird, the Gamescom site timer tells me 0:00.

I’m sorry but you must be new to.. media? Either way, there is no blizzcon this year, gamescon is blizzards best ticket for mass announcements/publicity.

Probably for Gamescon, but not for Blizz's panel.

Who is discussing Shadowlands for 45 minutes and where? And when? Must have missed that bit.

[Fahrad Wagner]

All those games about cars... eeeeew.

[Sondrelk]

All those games about cars... eeeeew.

Let's not lie though. If there was a car mount in WoW then it would be the best thing ever, and I would totally pretend to drive it around the streets of Stormwind.

What?! Ewwww no! The motorcycle is enough already!

Ye, looks like vehicle/racing games are returning to being popular.

Are you trying to imply that you do not love the motorcycles or monocycles from Mechagon?

What even is the point of living if not to see that silly gnome chopper animation.

So, here we go, lets wait for Blizz and see what theyve got
