Was at EU fanfest this year and the game director literally came and played the "fanfest challenge" trial with people.

    And yeah the streams are free now and instead they made the items an optional purchase on Mogstation to cover them being free. Of course they only started doing it with this trilogy of fanfests but the future streams will be free.
    But you think blizzard will ever stream the whole thing free? Nah, they could even sell the goodies like FF does, but they won't.

    I have given it a 4. because. this year will make it or break it for many franchies.

    We will see the new wow expation (probaly)
    we will Get to see What have they worked on when it comes to Diablo Not mobile based.
    I always like the new charcters for overwatch and the cinematic.

    But yea. interesting to see what kind of stupid broken cash grabs Acitivion have made, and what they will do with the diablo franchine, And who knows if starcraft 2 will be abonded or what will they do with that

    Hype is pretty meh at this point.
    What I expect:
    1. New WoW expansion announcement, 8.3 PTR next week.
    2. Hearthstone expansion.
    3. New OW hero and map.
    4. WC3 Reforged release date.
    5. Classic release date. (my bad, it will already be out)

    What I hope:
    1. New Diablo game for pc/console.
    2. New IP, beta soon(tm).

    No hype at all, but them and everyone else know that they're bleeding out of suscriptions and players, so I'm definitely interested to see if they'll show something good or not.

    There's no way we don't get 8.3 ptr before Blizzcon. Will there be deep dives? Yes, but with the next raid likely being out in July, that puts 2 months after that in September. Raid tiers on average last 6 months. If they wanted their typical 3-4 months of PTR testing the latest the PTR can be up is Early October.

    Also, Classic will be released in the "summer." The safe bet is just before September 20th so not to conflict with 8.2's content.

    Both of those will be out by Blizzcon.

    I'll be curious to see how well they learn from the colossal fuckups in BfA, if at all.

    No guarantee that Reforged will be, it's still listed as by the end of the year. Classic yes though, that should be out end of aug or early sept.

    True, but I don't expect a lot of system changes for 8.3 which I think will probably reduce their needed PTR time.

    Yeah this is true, guess I forgot.

    You do know that summer = winter in the southern hem. right? It was a joke about the Australians jokingly being mad that they said summer when it is winter there.

    seems every other year is the good year to be hype since it will be the ones that have a new expansion announcement.

    There is no indication that Reforged will be any time this summer, actually it would be best for them to release it Nov/Dec

You're basically paying a metric shipload of money (including travel, hotel, etc.) to experience a two day sales pitch for Blizzard products. The attraction of cons, yes -- there's a small local/regional sf con I've been going to almost every year since 1983 -- but these big commercial ones? I just don't get it.
    I used to attend every year when I lived in SoCal, and was much more invested in the game, and it was a lot of fun. You can meet up with guildmates, and seeing stuff like the costume contest in person is fun. Being part of that is exciting, especially if it's an announcement you are really excited about. But I live on the East coast now, and my relationship with Blizzard is a lot different, so no way I'd do it anymore. Also the lines are baaaaaad, haha.

    Ye, i just rewatched the announcement vid.

    I thought it said Summer - 2019 at the end but it just said 2019.

    Figure the releases will look kind of like 8.2 in june/july, Classic in Aug/sept Reforged in Nov./dec. They don't want to step on any toes since WoW and reforged have similar fanbases.

    Though with 8.3 they may be shooting for reforged Oct/Nov and 8.3 Dec.

So I answered the OP of this thread with opinion since that is how this works. If you are level 5 psyched for Steampunk and Gnomes then bully for you, I guess.

    Unless its something totally different, but we just don't know yet. If information changes or emerges my opinion might change. Again, weird, I know.
    Yeah, same for me -- when the first selling point of an expansion is something I don't care about at all, I knew BFA was probably not for me.
