Yay I'm glad I ordered the live stream, gotta wait til I get out of work though.

And then an addition 6-8 weeks before they email me the code for the pet. WTF blizzard.

 

[Bisnic]

Im glad i brought my flame shield. :lol

 

[butts]

Hopefully they announce a new D3 class early. I need info! It would make sense too as they will have a playable build on the floor.

I'd also love some news on patch 1.13

 

[Fonds]

So eh, there's no live stream unless you pay for one?

 

[Loxley]

So eh, there's no live stream unless you pay for one?

Unfortunetely that's the case.

 

[furrygiblets]

So eh, there's no live stream unless you pay for one?

Yep and im ready and waiting.

Yeah, it is a bit WTF :lol Might mess around with the WoW model viewer a bit to get acquainted with Grunty :lol

 

[Fonds]

Hmmm. I love Blizzard and all, but they're really pushing it with that kind of bullshit.

 

[Purkake4]

I'm sure there will be liveblogs, right?

 

[RPGCrazied]

That's awesome! Good thing I bought the live stream. Now I just need to buy the wow 3 month game card thing at my school's bookstore :lol




Which is the url to watch the stream? I payed for it yesterday. Can't seem to see what you're seeing.

Im watching it on DirecTV channel 121.

 

[EDarkness]

Yep and im ready and waiting.

Same here! Can't wait.

 

[furrygiblets]

Why? They are putting on somthething they otherwise wouldn't. How is them charging for an online stream any different to the charging for actually going?

 

[maniac-kun]

unless you find someone who restreams it

 

[Owensboro]

I'm sure there will be liveblogs, right?

I second this question. Anyone got a link to a liveblog that will be happening? If not, one of you darlings with a live stream want to keep us apprised of the more important information?

They had a stream last year for the WWI and it was free. Blizzard at the moment tries to act like WWI never happened or has nothing to do with them to justify the price.

 

[Interfectum]

Update from MMO Champion (regarding the WoW Cataclysm information he posted): "Update - Changed the % of confirmed info from 90% to 99.9%. "

I think everyone got it without the visual aids.

Kotaku

WoW.com (their live-blog page isn't up yet, but it will be)

That's all I could find. Most of the major media outlets have been busy covering Gamescom this week, and aren't doing live Blizzcon coverage.

 

[Yoshichan]

THE MUSIC!!!!!! THE MUSIC!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sweet lord THE MUSIC, I can't stop listening to it! DIABLO 3, GIVE ME.

And he blows himself up, too.


I wonder if the Tyrael and Diablo pets fight.[/QUOTE]

I will have to check that. Its a good question. Now to find someone with the Diablo pet...

 

[epmode]

Then don't watch it then.

Just because you got suckered into overpaying for live streaming coverage doesn't mean that the other 99.99% of Blizzard fans can't bitch about it.

[maniac-kun]

http://www.mmo-champion.com/ will have everything at least wow and d3 related
irc channels are #mmo-champion and #blizzcon on quakenet

 

[Blackface]

Hype train has left the station.

 

[Interfectum]

All aboard!

 

[dimb]

Just posting it here that even though Blizzard fucked these guys over by not allowing them to livestream the conference because of DirectTV "exclusivity", www.wcradio.com is still going to have incredibly comprehensive audio coverage of pretty much everything 30 minutes after they happen with a few rule circumventions.

 

[celebi23]

[manofmandango]

To make this day complete I'm considering getting tacos.

Day off + Blizzcon + Tacos = Amazing

EDIT:

P.S. - Sorry you're bedridden. =/

 

[CorporalDork]

how long now? damn working aussie time into everything is tough

 

[RPGCrazied]

2 1/2 hours! OMG!

 

[CoLaN]

Blizzard just lost 30% of my respect with this streaming pricing

 

[cws]

Blizzard just lost 30% of my respect with this streaming pricing

Paying for stream isnt new though.

 

[Scrow]

not really

how long until it starts? 3 hours?

Yes.

look at what time he posted it.

if you've setup the time in your GAF User CP to be local time it's then only basic maths to find out what time it starts here in australia

 

[ZombieSupaStar]

cool I've got the live steam so I have enough time to go work out for an hour then load up on slurpees and cheetos (totally invalidating my working out for an hour and more!)

bbl

 

[momolicious]

I hope they increase the polycount on the creatures and player in D3.

 

[Tamanon]

Blizzard just lost 30% of my respect with this streaming pricing

To be fair, respect doesn't pay the bills!

 

[SleazyC]

Holy fuck at the line must be a h
mile and half line.... expected attendance is 25k

 

[gregor7777]

This show generates revenue for Blizzard. Why should they stream their show? They charge a premium to attend, so if you want to see it, pony up.

I see no problem with it. I'd like to watch a stream, but I won't pay for it. I don't hold anything against Blizzard for being a business though.

 

[Scrow]

I hope they increase the polycount on the creatures and player in D3.

yeah, because that is of utmost importance...
