Blizzcon Discussion thread of "you made how many billion?"

Ooh, nice question on the stream. Basically forced Pardo to say "we aren't getting money out of the WoW addons (unlike, presumably, the upcoming SC2 maps) so we don't like anyone else getting it" :lol

Edit: Ed Fries is working on WoW figures now? That's... kind of sad actually.
 
I can't really blame them, that's what every company that has a valuable IP does, especially if they have one of the most valuable IP's on the market (Blizzard just happens to have three of them :D ). Disney in particular is infamous for its strict IP protection.
 
I wonder if we'll see Heroic Deadmines and SFK, although unless they made any interesting changes, they probably won't spend a whole lot of time talking about them.

4 Raids at launch. Nice, if they pull it off with quality.

Take everything as a grain of salt. They still didn't deliver on other bulletpoints of Wrath to this day. And even "IF" they do, I'd be curious to see how much is dumped into the art of the new items/weapons/armor.
 
Icecrown Citadel

•Icecrown Citadel will have 4 floors.
•It will be a 10 and 25 players raid with 12 bosses
•Waypoints / Teleporters are being reused here because the instance is really big.
•You will fight Sindragosa, the ultimate Frost Wyrm. You will also fight Arthas.
•The instance is built around the spire where the Ice Throne sits.
•At the 2nd floor, you will have to board an airship with your faction leader and race against the other faction to reach the 3rd floor. You will eventually board their ship with rocket packs and catapults to fight them.
•The 3rd floor seems to be the biggest one and will feature 3 wings
•The 4th floor is where you will fight Arthas
 
And it's coming before the xpac. Ideally with 3.3. Wow.

Eh, is there demand for that? Not really liking that idea.

Err, I can see how someone might not really care about it, but how are you against it? Have you never played on a low pop realm?

Now you just have Ninjas from other servers to worry about.

The best way to avoid ninjas is to use the loot rolling Blizzard has built into the game. None of that "pass and then roll" shit. Doesn't make any sense, especially now that you can trade bops within your group.

I love that they're going to dole out rewards for leading a successful pug. :lol Pretty clever idea to get people to take the initiative rather than waiting for someone else to start forming a group.

On the other hand I'd hate for people to be discouraged from passing lead to the tank when he requests it...hmmmm.
 
Yeah I think this will be a good boost to activity. The baility to find groups even if you pull people from other servers is great. Nothing worse then sitting in Dalaran looking to run a specific instance and no one else wants too or only 2-3 do

If they can swap factions permanently they should be able to swap factions temporarily for groups, dangit! ;p

Considering they are widening the gap between the horde and alliance i doubt it will happen in the next 2-3 years.
