wow is featuring at the gamescom on thursady. we'll probably something new then

Those aren't presentations, those are booths. If they had anything to show it would be in the opening ceremony. It's just going to be Vessel of Hatred & that VR flying around dalaran piece.

[Cheezits]

No way, Warcraft Direct coming soon.

Where was this mentioned?

I would believe if today WoW would have some launch trailer. But with single day for WoW, imo Thursday will be focused on that.

Also they annouced Warcraft Direct - and that sound like something, well, directed for invested people who care about stuff like 11.1.

You seem to be really dooming today. Upset by something lately?

[Foreign Exchange Ztudent]

Any of you Warcraft Direct people who heard what the President of Blizzard Entertainment said about the Warcraft Direct? Is it like a November thing ("Later this year") or is it on Thursday?

"in the coming months"

[Makorus]

Well, Warcraft segment at Gamescom is over and nothing announced

The WoW segment is not over. There's another segment on Thursday.

Where was this mentioned?

Gamescom.

[Enrif]

I think I told you that you won’t get news on Tuesday. This is the industry people day of the gamescom. If they want to reveal something to the players they will wait until the public enters gamescom on Thursday.

So according to Metzen in that video they even have plans for up to 17.0

[Marlamin]

She also confirmed October is the start of the in-game anniversary event(s) which is slightly earlier than expected, but very welcome. 11.0.5 PTR almost definitely hitting in a few weeks then (if there is a PTR).

Maybe events for all games (Hearthstone, Rumble, Warcraft IP in general) will start in October (some of them could be even in WoW), but WoW 20th anniversary in November as usual? Would be strange to release 11.0.5 in October, it kinda break "patch every 2 months" thing from DF, as I don't expect anything in December (and roadmap doesn't mention extra patch either).

So according to Metzen in that video they even have plans for up to 17.0

These plans could be as vague as "ok 1 expac in Avaloren, 1 in EK, 1 in Kalimdor, 1 in Outlands". But it's nice Chris is thinking about even larger picture than Saga.

From the video it does seem to imply WoW, but maybe yeah.

[Joshuaj]

I’d prefer if she beat us personally as opposed to us beating her with her fleeing to lick her wounds.

- - - Updated - - -



Taunka is likely but I could also see Furbolgs too.

If she beat us, there'd be no game

- - - Updated - - -

She's already physically dead though.

I know. But I originally assumed we would defeat her in the Void by the end of War Within. But I guess not

[Makabreska]

If she beat us, there'd be no game

Gul'dan beat us big time on the Broken Shore, and we still had plenty of gaming in Legion.

[Cheezits]

I think the biggest loss we will have in Launch Midnight is Voided Quel'danas/Sunwell and MAYBE Silvermoon (just maybe, I think they would want that to be a hub and focus unless hubs are split to Exodar/Exodar 2 and Zul'Aman/Stratholme). It's not like the area is going to get Broken Shore'd, it will be a tiny part that is purple ugly.

If 11.0.5 is October than I expect Warcraft Direct and 11.1 announcement in November.

Buddy is at GamesCom for work, was able to get a distant shot of decorations of the 4D Immersive Ride, but couldn't get closer, restricted to MS employees:

Looks like specifically for WoW:

These plans could be as vague as "ok 1 expac in Avaloren, 1 in EK, 1 in Kalimdor, 1 in Outlands". But it's nice Chris is thinking about even larger picture than Saga.

My money is on World Revamp 14.0, OC Island (Avaloren) 15.0, Outlands grand finale (if ANYTHING is left in those plotlines).

Also I bet the Direct will Directly (heh) share images of Midnight. Maybe to soften the blow of a "no 11.3" confirm.
