I am too and I highly recommend this point of view for all things, not just gaming. You’re likely to be burned far less.
A very reasonable position to take. I took this latest announcement to be like a movie teaser: just something to wet our appetites until they drop the full trailer a month or so from now.
If I was to speculate…
1.) Hunter companion will just be someone that helps you with the story, not for the entire game. Otherwise class balances will be all out of whack.
2.) Vampiric abilities will be temporary abilities for season two only. Just like the malignant hearts: you’ll enjoy them for a full season and then they are gone come season three. Anyone that has played WOW has experience Blizzards love with temp systems for every expansion eg: Legion Weapons, BFA Azerite Power Necklace etc. The only difference is we get new systems that goes away every three months instead of two years.
3.) The vampire mobs will replace the wolves mobs you see in game now.
4.) Vashara and the malignant tunnels will be replaced by Vampire like tunnels where some of the Five new bosses that were just announced will be. Strongholds could also be a landing spot for this. It would be nice if we got a redesign of some of them, but I wouldn’t hold my breath for that.
Again, this is just me speculating. Not saying this is good or bad. I’m just speculating on where this will go based on my experience with Blizzard for the past 6-7 years. Take that as you will.
Edit: Sorry to have to delete the rest of what you wrote, but I couldn’t get the quotes to work right.
