Sorry bit late to the party, is a video going to go live in 50 minutes with the announcement or is it a live stream?

It should (read: better) be comparable to what we'd expect from a BlizzCon announcement and What's Next panel, given that they had almost certainly intended to announce this back in February during BlizzConline. They've had an extra two months to prepare material.
I'm expecting at least an hour long presentation with a gameplay/features announcement trailer, a "what's next" style rundown of the story and new features and systems, and a look at some of the new zones, dungeons, and creatures. Plus a website and press kit and all the stuff that goes with that.
I'd like to see a cinematic trailer, too. They've been doing full CGI cinematic trailers as their Blizzcon reveals since Legion and they haven't put out any major cinematics for any games since D2R. I don't exactly expect it, but it'll be disappointing if they don't have one.
I'd also like to get the equivalent of a "Deep Dive" panel, but they might just do a media tour deal with interviews, press kits, blog posts, etc.
Well folks I have to jump into a meeting so I will miss the reveal but I think what we will see
- New NE / UD capitals
- Profession overhaul
- Some new gimmick with hatching your own dragon and customizing it as it grows and levels up
- Dragon Isles and overworld map redesign (no world map but different sections of Azeroth that will be elaborated on)
- Tinker class (kidding - maybe)
Anyways enjoy the reveal. I shall wee you when this thread becomes the chrysalis to the alpha/beta discussion thread.
