I want to hear everyone’s big hopes and expectations!
I Really hope that Blizzard knocks this one out of the park. With all the leaks, speculation, and hype surrounding November 1st, all the players are at their bases for a grand slam.
Personally, I hope that 9.0 comes with a removed or lessened faction barrier, finally let the heroes of Azeroth team up with their friends across faction lines, and work together against mutual foes.
I Hope Tinkers are the next class on the horizon, based on the Island Expo teams and their presence this expansion.
And I hope for Blizzard to bury this stupid faction conflict and give us some real enemies to stop. C’mon Bolvar!
I would like to hear other people’s hopes and dreams for Blizzcon; The hype train is rollin’

The bar is so low this year they just have to avoid belittling people who don’t have cell phones and allow people to peacefully protest if they want.

I disagree. People can (and do) protest all they want outside the con, but inside is not the place for a protest.

I have no hopes for it, that way expectations can’t be dashed.

That is exactly the place as long as they are peaceful.

I find my life is easier the lower I keep my expectation on things like this.

Outside or inside? Outside people have peacefully protested for years. Inside isn’t the place. I’m sure I’m not alone in saying I’m watching the con for the announcements and pannels. I’m not watching so that people can make a political statement. So long as blizzard keeps the political statements out of their con i will continue to buy a ticket.

N’zoth,the Legion,Sargeras,KJ,Gul’Dan,etc… There’s plenty of real enemies. This game was built upon the faction conflict. As long as the game continues, nobody can actually win, so how do we end it? It would have to be something neutral, because if either side is declared victor, there will be non-stop hate and likely a lot of lost subs.
Cool. This isn’t just about you. Lots of people obviously feel this is important. You know, the real world?

yeah I stand on the side of Hong Kong here, but there’s a place for protesting, and it’s not in a video game. That will accomplish nothing.

I hope the microtransactions are not to expensive in warcraft 3. I like how they started working on them pre release.
If we’re talking about the real world. Blizzard has no influence on what the chinese government does. Contracts are binding. There is a time and a place for protesting and a private event (unless sanctioned for that purpose) is not a place to protest in.

I like when they announce a new expansion, then mention classes changes briefly, and everyone freaks out and the math nerds come out telling them how they’re still unbalanced.

I hope the people that go there to “protest” don’t ruin the event for everyone else. And that especially goes for the Q&A.

I can’t think of a gesture more meaningless than a bunch of middle-class white nerds protesting in support of democracy activists in Hong Kong at a video game convention in Southern California.
Edit: and what’s worse, most of them would be protesting because they don’t like game design decisions Blizz makes, not because they actually care about Hong Kong.

The real world doesn’t give two craps about Hong Kong. Just like they don’t care about the 2020 election being hacked, Epstein being murdered, the concentration camps at the border, our military leaving people to die or the hundreds of other amoral things going on in the world.
You know what the real world cares about?
How mean Fallout 76 is for charging 13 bucks for a private server!

So the stuff I wanna see is basically all a pipe dream, but here goes:
-Suramar City repurposed as a hub city
-Nightborne paladins
-Pants added to Nightborne heritage armor
-Murlocs as a neutral playable race (with paladins! You’re sensing a pattern…)
-Overhaul for customization for all races. New hairstyles, especially for Trolls and Tauren.
-More dungeons and fleshing out of the M+ system
-Toning down of/ending of the faction war. IMO it’s time we moved past this.

Right…the old, “please keep your protest where I can’t see them so I’m not impacted by whatever your protesting” argument.

People have been protesting outside blizzcon for years. Why? Because that is where they can do it. A video game conference is not only an inappropriate venue to make a political statement, it’s also a pointless place to make a political statement.
