It's a joke, if an orc shaman hunts a gnome they are a gnome hunter.

Oh gosh I really hope for 10.0 to have another cinematic series storyline like BfA.

Sure telling stories in videos (or the BfA faction arc, a mini movie) instead of directly in quests is less immersive, but in the case of BfA it was done perfectly where it made more sense to show it as a cinematic than an ingame event (imagine the rogue attacking trhrall, or Sylvanas vs Saurfang battle being done ingame....) and others it just couldn't be done ingame. They also didn't "cheap out" and do it the CGI with game models route. This in my opinion is still a good way to have some story resolve, as long as it is available to view ingame also and not from outside media.
But lets not talk about the LOTR copy the Old God plot cinematic was...

I saw it yesterday and was thinking, Is this a tip about 10.0(Like new class combos/class restriction removal)? or just some random shit

10.0 announcement this week? It's high time.

[Nightshade711]

10.0 announcement this week? It's high time.

One could only hope

[huth]

10.0 announcement this week? It's high time.

No, of course not. There's not going to be an announcement on a Sunday.

[Shadochi]

Doubt anything next week (probably what OP meant) seeing how its patch week

[Catastrophy349]

So, I still think that we won't get any 10.0 news until, at the minimum, week of March 8 (Zovaal/Jailer fight and cinematic go live). However, when they decide to make the announcement of an announcement for 10.0? Who knows. They could do it next week. Week after. Or wait until the full raid is live. Depends on how long of a "heads up" they want to provide. Do they want to HYPE up the community for days or weeks?

I doubt they would do it at the week of the Cinematic going live, since for EU peeps the patch would drop Wednesday and then have announcement Thursday or Friday. We are definitely looking at an announcement after the cinematic drops, no reason to drop it before.

I am more thinking the week after the cinematic drops, but having it 2/3 weeks after also makes sense because of the community event Race for World First so not to collide with that.

Yeah, they're going to want the channel free for hotfixes and patch information.

Re-read what I wrote. I said "..we won't get any news until, at the minimum, week of March 8." Firstly, I would expect 10.0 only AFTER the cinematic (so Thursday/Friday). Furthermore, if you continue reading my post, I speak about the "announcement of an announcement" any time between this week and the week of March 8. The physical 10.0 announcement (NOT the announcement of the announcement) I fully expect to happen, at the minimum, later during the week of March 8 (cinematic week). Realistically, it's more likely to happen the following week(s) after it.

[Catastrophy349]

I made this post on 1-22-22 "I predict we will be closer to 2000 pages than to 1000 pages by the time a 10.0 announcement comes out (not an announcement for an announcement...THE announcement)."

[Archmage Xaxxas]

Since Legion was one of the few examples of an expansion announcement outside of BlizzCon,

it may be worth noting how the Announcement-for-the-Announcement in 2015 was a mere 8 days notice on July 29th for August 6th.



Seems we'd be in for a non-BlizzCon announcement of course this year too. Who knows

Thanks for posting this. It’s good to have something to be able to relate to. At the end of the day, it all depends on how Blizzard wants to make the announcement. Do they make the announcement for the announcement before the Jailer fight goes live to officially be revealed afterward? Or do they wait until after the Jailer fight goes live (story is out there) before making the announcement for the announcement?

let's hope she shows up in the intro cinematic leak. if she doesnt we know its a fake expansion

can't wait to play the new tinkers



this is the darkest timeline, and Teriz' dream expansion.

Oh, this is well done. Also, is that an Azerite-powered mech?

10.0 announcement this week? It's high time.

No chance. They won't announce it before the raid is fully unlocked and we've seen the final cinematic and even then it's questionable if they might not wait until the LFR timegating is through, so that most of the playerbase actually had a chance to see it ingame. (edit: and get full context from the 7 week time gated nonsense-story)

They've never operated like this before. Plus it seems like 10.0 will have *less* to do with anything happening in the story right now than in any previous expansion.

The encrypted pre-order files were in 9.1.5 so for all we know they could announce it tomorrow. Probably within the next 3 weeks, and they were ready to do it even if 9.2 was released a bit later.
