shop mount.

[Foreign Exchange Ztudent]

We're saving Tel'abim banana workers and the main villain is the Alliance Fruit Company. Sounds good to me.

aaaand this is the news: https://news.blizzard.com/en-us/bliz...iverse-with-us

[pacotaco]

Am I the only one here still hoping we will get Necromancers?

Unless Blizzard change how they work (tie a class with the expansion theme), we won't get the possibility until the next visit to the Death theme.

I fucking love survival games so that's not that bad of an announcement.

A bit late to the trend, aren't they? Once a game type becomes popularized, it's already too late for blizzard to start working on it at the pace they do it lol

Neat.

I guess this would count as big news, so probably not going to be more unless specifically stated.

Lets see what they do with it first at least.

Happened only to HotS for them.

I freaking love the mount, and the /mountspecial

You say that, but Blizzard has long been less about chasing trends than they have been about waiting for a trend to fully crystallize, then making their own polished version.

Open world games have been around for ages sure, but it hasn't really been until fairly recently that "perfect" ones have been made.

I could absolutely see Blizzard deciding that they now have enough info on the genre to take their own shot at it.

[micwini]

There's got to be more right?

[Edward Wu]

Pseudo-announcement for your new game where you also beg people to come work on it.

Interesting style of development.

[TheFirstOnes]

That's the BIG news, yes. Am like 90% certain there's more, but for WoW, HS, etc. But this is the BIG thing, yes. New PTR Build hopefully today or tomorrow. Hopefully Music either this week or next, tbh.

That's a big, "Womp womp."

The survival genre is going to be even more dead than it currently is when this finally comes out. The trend chasing is palpable. Alternatively, the genre might die, lay dead for a few years, and ironically come back into vogue just in time for this to release.

Well, I'd say it's their way of working. They always get late:
- RTS
- Action-RPG
- MMO
- MOBA
- Shooter

If it's just this those guys can't read the room...

[draugril]

There's got to be more right?

Why would there be?

[draugril]

If it's just this those guys can't read the room...

They've been unable to read the room for the better part of two decades.

[Raetary]

Wow, a brand new game.
About time.

Though, survival games are not really my thing.
That art looks great however.
