Chris Metzen going to be on stage for Blizzcon

Yes;
a. He was announced as a creative adviser near the end of december 2022. DF and a lot of the major patch was probably done more or less in a rough framework with rough layouts worked on for .2
c. He is not a game director anymore so I agree that he won’t now have the same influence as before but saying he is just there to get butts in seats is kind of being unfair to Metzen.

I have admitted the move was more likely a marketing move but I think he has a lot of seniority in the company and I think they there at HQ have a lot of respect for him that he now going forward is having SOME say in how to improve something, take a direction with something, flesh something out.

Exciting Warcraft news? Classic Cataclysm?

Chris brought so much energy to the stage in the past. Im really looking forward to seeing him again.

can someone there ask why are they so stupid in making dracs glide.
not a hard question to answer but bliz intelligence will not be able to answer I’m afraid :frowning:

you’d think the modern blizzard marketing team would be pushing for some random Celebrity to host it this year!

kinda surprised we aren’t seeing John Cena! :star_struck:

Or Metallica for that matter :sob: Lars is such a crusty old man. Ugh.

Wish he would come back in some capacity

Game needs additions by subtraction. The menus, UIs and bells and whistles makes it feels like geo citys made a video game.

As someone whose seeing Metallica’s two nights in Foxboro, MA next year…

:metal:

did the con start yet?

Death Magnetic and Hardwired have almost no misses.
72 Seasons probably should have been 9 songs instead of 12.

Honestly, I had very little interest in Blizzcon. But now that I know Chris is going to be back on stage I’m pretty pumped.

I have no idea how the event works, but the notice says the opening ceremony starts at 11 cali time. So, take that for what ever its worth. :man_shrugging:

I’m stealing this and going to warn my guys if they don’t get better at meeting quota that’s going to be the consequence.
