People demanded WoW Classic but now they're just gradually releasing all the expansions for it. So what's the point? It's eventually going to catch up to retail.

That's a thing? I have BNet loaded 5+ days a week and haven't seen that issue.

 

[Interfectum]

I would love to be a fan of this company again.

 

[ManaByte]

New OW hero and it's a dude!

 

[Rhazkul]

I am ready.

WoW on console with cross play would be something, I wonder if it will ever happen.

I don't see how because there's just too many abilities to map to a controller. If they ever did, I'd want to turn crossplay off so I don't have to play with anyone who is playing on a controller.

WoW 2 is pretty much the oh shit button for Blizzard. I don't think it's quite time yet.

Does getting acquired by Microsoft make WoW 2 complicated? Does it have to go to Gamepass? They have to drop monthly sub if that happens. I can't imagine some wanting to pay for Gamepass and WoW 2 both. I could be offbase here so some insight would be appreciated.

Hear me out… would it not be a MAJOR announcement for them to come out and say. Wow meet console… they been working on a controller version and now with the deal done and Microsoft needing a big PR move this would be the perfect time to announce it??

WoW has had controller support for YEARS. Doesn't mean they're making it on console.

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

If Odyssey does get revealed here, will it most likely be today or tomorrow? You'd assume today right?

 

[AV]

WoW on console isn't happening. It wasn't happening 3, 6, 9 etc. years ago when people said now was the time.

There's already controller support and Steam Deck support for absolute freaks but even those people know that you'll underperform in group content / PVP and get shat on.

Opening ceremony if it happens.

Heroes it updates the game every single time, my two buddies have the same issue.

Don't assume 'his' gender bro!

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

I'm jumping on a plane in 10 minutes. When I get off I expect you, M ManaByte , to have a thread dedicated to this glorious new title.

(Or don't, no pressure. Someone else will do it.)

I am always against these mega mergers, and have posted as such, but maybe, just maybe MS could make Blizzcons worth getting excited for again? They have one hell of an uphill battle there though, after Blizzard basically abandoned hots I lost a lot of love for current blizzard.

Weird that people would get excited about Blizzard in 2023. They're a piece of shit company making crappy games that exploit their customers. The guys that made Diablo 2 and Starcraft are not coming through that door.

Yeah this is absolutely true. Blizzard is missing a lot of their old guard that helped build up the company we all loved back in the 90's to the early 00's. While Metzen is back again, I wouldn't get too excited unless we saw some more people like Morhaime, Brode, Kaplan, and Bowder back on board. Especially Dustin Bowder, if nothing more than a dream of him overseeing HotS again lol.

[\m/etalStorm]

Is the diablo iv expansion there?

I hope so. The seasons are a nice bonus, but I really want to see the campaign being continued.

 

[Tg89]

Let's see what part of their legacy they can fuck up this time.

 

[Gudji]

"With your feedback we strugg... we do the best we can". Some shit like that, he almost said the truth.

Nobody gives a fuck about Phil Spencer get him off stage.

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

 

[reinking]

 

[Mortisfacio]

Get Chris Metzen on the stage. We don't want Phil.

 

[Big Chungus]

fuck phil spender

i mean spencer

 

[j0hnnix]

Spencer Speech "Please return your Xbox to my PO box Brazil."

 

[rofif]

"we all play we all win" bullshit is already being repeated by blizzard.
This is such a bullcrap. The quote should be "You don't buy games, GP games will end like netflix"

 

[Gudji]

Get Chris Metzen on the stage. We don't want Phil.

They're doing everything they can to pass the message that xbox owning blizzard is good. lmao

 

[j0hnnix]

Phil to Mike Ybarra back stage for being taller than him

 

[HeisenbergFX4]

Mike is such an introvert, he hates being on stage, several nervous ticks

 

[rofif]

I can't believe all this grandiose brave heartful presentation about... lol overwatch and diablo 4. bad games.
It's not like they have some amazing characters and stories. It's just some sexy characters and a monkey

 

[Gudji]

Overwatch

 

[j0hnnix]

Pride

 

[TVexperto]

so no new game?

 

[Mortisfacio]

I am ready.

Well, we've got diversity and inclusion down.

 

[Spyxos]

How to not start a Blizzcon, talk about nothing for 20 minutes and then show an Owerwatch 2 Hero.

 

[usctrojan]

+1 i wanna be a fan again but already assuming the rest of this blizzcon will continue the cringe weve seen so far 25 minutes in

 

[Gudji]

I feel like these dudes are completely out of touch. Maybe they do something good with their new game.

 

[The Cockatrice]

How to not start a Blizzcon, talk about nothing for 20 minutes and then show an Owerwatch 2 Hero.

Thats because they have nothing great to show. Just copium shit for remaining fans.

 

[Zathalus]

Overwatch and eSports. Fucking yawn. Bring out Metzen.

 

[Tg89]

Damn they're still trying to make OW an esport? I thought that shit was dead.

 

[Mortisfacio]

Drinking game: take a shot every time they mention diversity

 

[Draugoth]

How to not start a Blizzcon, talk about nothing for 20 minutes and then show an Owerwatch 2 Hero.

It's their big announcement for the year.

Everyone here hospitalized within the hour.

Don't do this unless you want to end up in hospital due to alcohol poisoning.

 

[Spyxos]

I'm still hoping for a new Starctaft, Warcraft and Hots updates.....

 

[SEGAvangelist]

Overwatch 2 seems really inclusive.
