Hoping for…
Necromancers.
The return of Class tier sets.
We get to kill Sylvanas (my hunter wants her bow).
An option for 2H frost comes back.
Relaxed transmog (want my low level alts to look stylish).
Some sort of faction mixup would be cool, always wanted Alliance Tauren.
Gilneas gets reclaimed.
They fix the Worgen heritage armour.
They show other heritage armours.
More customization, not just when creating characters, but also maybe dyeable armour and weapons.
Make professions worthwhile.
Improve class identity.
Another Mage Tower like thing.
Obviously not everything, just listing things I think would be cool

Like imagine you wanted to protest something important to you and wanted max expression of that concern. Would you do it in a closet? Probably not.
Activision made their bed. Just have feinting couch near your live stream and you’ll be ok.

They can stand outside all day if they want but Blizzard has every right to control what goes on in their private event. If they cause trouble expect the boot.

Nope, but you know where else i wouldn’t do it? At a private event that has nothing to do with it. Know why? Because that is the best way to make enemies, not friends.

Protesters are not typically concerned about making pals with their enemies. I’ll be shocked if there’s not disruptions

I would imagine the real world has more important things to be concerned about over an esports player getting a temp ban. Probably start with companies profiting off of child labor if you want to stay on the China topic.

I’m not an “enemy” i fully support people getting out from under tyrany. As i said, however, a video game convention isn’t the time or the place for a political protest.
Let me ask though. What do you honestly think would come from someone protesting at blizzcon?

Next thing we know is some of them start threatening the devs, gets booted and complains on the forums while twisting the story. Never happened before.

Have no problem with them protesting outside. I also don’t have a problem with them protesting inside so long as they’re ok with accepting the consequences of their actions and are ok with getting kicked out of the con. You can’t have your cake and eat it. Either stand up for your morals and accept the consequences, or stop seeking attention and protest outside.
In my opinion, the con isn’t a place for political statements. It has next to zero outreach on the political spectrum and does exactly nothing for those in HK. It’ll be forgotten within the month, and those in HK will still be in a crummy situation.

I’m expecting an even worse expansion than BfA. Have low expectations when it comes to blizzard, you can never be disappointed.

WoW new expansion cinematic

Blizzard has a great opportunity with this Blizzcon to right the ship. I think it will really depend on the four big things. 1) A great introduction to the new Diablo game with features and graphics that appeal to the fans. 2) Same as above with Overwatch 2 3) A good look at the next WoW expansion 4) Stay away from more controversy. If people want to protest peacefully then Blizzard needs to treat them with respect and not add fuel to the fire.

For all the hype this year and all the announcements coming up, I have oddly few actual hopes and expectations. It doesn’t feel like the right time to engage my armchair dev imagination, more a time to just settle back, see what’s actually coming and figure out where I fit in.
National news coverage probably, since Atvi has been already been i the hot seat.

Just don’t suck as bad as Diablo Immortal.

Pretty sure causing as much disruption as possible is the goal of a protest. Inside is the perfect place for it.

An xpac with no rental power system (AP/Azerite). If they put in another shyt system like this I’ll be looking for a new game to play.

I hope for a new expansion with no RNG involved with the gear system outside of the chance that a piece drops or not. I hope for Shadowlands. I hope for more Old God content. I hope that the game developers are much faster and smarter with class changes. I hope there’s no AP grind.
