Blizzcon 2013, what do you expect to see?

-
Blizzcon is just a little more than 2 months away, so I decided to speculate on what we might see in November.

WoW Expansion
This seems the most obvious. Mists of Pandaria was released on September 25th, 2012. Blizzard has been busting out the new patches at lightning speed. Less than a year later we've already opened the final chapter of the expansion. If they keep up this rate, we could see another expansion released first quarter 2014 (giving us casuals 6 months to defeat Garrosh).

DD has some great ideas for the next expansion:

Hearthstone release
From my beta testing of Hearthstone, I haven't encountered any 'bugs'. To me, it seems like this is a way to build up hype for the game then to have it actually release at Blizzcon. As some are speculating, codes for card packs to be found in your goodie bag. (wonder if I could justify a virtual ticket?!). This also seems to fit the timing of a release in 2 months.

Titan - nothing. Last I heard, the team on this project has been re-assigned to other projects, i.e. WoW expansion.

Diablo 3/ Starcraft 2 - Sorry don't really play these games. Played D3 one time through, then second play through was like questing in WoW on a slightly stronger alt.

Favorites from the Internet:

  • TenTonHammer - Warcraft Movie Trailer - maybe but from what I've read, they are still choosing cast after the director change earlier this year.
  • GamerTV Forum - WoW F2P at 10yr anniversary, all toons playable cross faction (horde humans), D3 Console controls for PC, another WoW Season Pass with hearthstone bonus card pack, and  free D3 expansion.
  • WoW forums - new character models
  • MMORPG - hinted at here D3 for XBox

Legion's Mythic+ Dungeon Final Impressions

-

Yesterday, Ythisens  posted a question on the WoW forums asking for final impressions on the Mythic+ dungeons. With Legion coming to a close we thought we might try something a little different and collect some specific feedback on things. While we normally are reading tons of posts you guys make and sharing the details internally, we want to try collecting focused feedback to ensure your opinions are being heard. We're still doing our usual methods but want to see if this can be something we use going forward.    For the first one we're going to try one focused on Mythic+! We want to hear everything you guys have on this feature we introduced in Legion. What you think it does well, what you think it doesn't, ways you'd like to see it go, how did it work throughout the course of the expansion, etc.    Also a friendly note that just because you see it here doesn't mean it will be changed or added - and this topic is not an indication of future feature deve...

Profession Opinions

IMHO, spend your first points for herbalism or mining in 40 into [ botany ] or 35 into [ mining process ] so that you can gather while mounted.  I hate that the skinning trainer is standing immediately behind one of the leatherworking tables. I am constantly clicking on them.  I 100% agree with everyone that says the fishing profession needs a hat slot. We may need a secondary equipment slot for toons with a fishing ring.  I wish the crafting orders system worked 'better'. To complete "# of (profession) crafting orders" quests, my default is to go to my bank toon, and order low-level items. Gimme 3 bolts of cloth, or 2 handfuls of bolts, or 3 'profession equipment'. I sort of wish that when I specify a personal order, I could see their available recipes. Oh, look my hunter can make ___, lets's order 3 of those? My bank toon could order profitable items, not just garbage fillers.  Leveling engineering is dreadful. Creating 1 middle-level item, requires 1 ra...
