Honestly, a blog post would be mega disappointing.

[Murlocos]

The Muffinus video would presumably drop here, they had a WoWCast developer interview video accompany the 10.2 reveal as well.

Ay lad. The next patch be containing pirates we can YARRR on.

[Cheezits]

Just gonna say, if the patch has nothing to do with Pirates, Blizz is actually tone-deaf for using that iconography.

[allegrian]

So are we expecting the announcement in 40 minutes?

Yeah, 10 AM PST is the standard time they drop their big pre-announced news if there's anything listed for that day.

We are expecting "Next in development" news. What exactly will be there, we don't know.

[Worldshaper]

Isn't it in 1h 30 min? Usually big news drop at 19 CEST

Clock went an hour forward in the US last weekend.

Daylight Savings. US is now an hour ahead.

[Worldshaper]

Oh, I see!

[Auxis]

Uhhhh I was just about to head to bed. Knowledge that something might drop in 20 mins, and the prospect of having to use my phone to look at it is keeping me up :\

Might dick around in WoW for half an hour or so. Maybe try my hand at getting the bag from the HS event despite it being the only thing I "need" and not really needing it (I have everything else besides all of the cards for the achieve).

True, but the skull & crossbones would also be appropriate for a new Hardcore mode. Or perhaps, poison? *Brackenhide Gnoll Allied Race sense is tingling*

Skull for Hardcore, sure. Skull and crossbones on a black flag for Hardcore is just mean.

[Worldshaper]

Dream would be a neutral faction of renegades. Not gonna happen though.

Hardcore mode without permadeath but more challenging world content would be super cool.

Pirates are all right as long as it's not just some questline.

Now that I think about it, I'd love an Adventure Mode for levelling. Just run around the world and do whatever content you like. Ding ding ding.

Ascension does have a roguelike mode where you play as a member of the burning legion: Both factions are hostile to you & the longer you survive the more powerful you become & once you die it's permanent. Considering the runes also come from Ascension this could be a thing.

Or maybe "based on community speculation" really is a third, pirate faction. Only it's intentionally a hostile gameplay experience, like ironman mode & both factions are hostile to you up until the Dragonflight expansion. And the reward for making it to 60 is special pirate cosmetic items. Now that faction barriers were softened I see this as a possibility.

[Cheezits]

Lol, they posted a PTR update for DIABLO

[Kiivar86]

Just mashing the refresh button on the news page right now.

I legit have no idea what to expect at this point. I'm still figuring pirates.

[Sondrelk]

So what are pople blue skies optimistic hope for features revealed? Not just for 10.2.6, but 10.2.7 and DF Season 4.
Mine would be Dracthyr transmog, alongsie being able to transmog properly in Dragon Form.
