This hearthstone expansion better not be pirates or booty bay. Meh...
-
Oh, it's SO pirates. Marin the Fox being the Virtual Ticket item is practically a giveaway.

Whoa, do you have to juggle her two attacks to heal and damage? Very interesting...
-
-
Right. It reads like you use the damage hand to charge the healing hand. Which would be sick.
-
-
-
-
-
I guess so.
-
-
Or a pally/buffbot
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
im sure it will include the modern LFG system
-
-
i wonder what they'll do about races, will they keep the other races or will we be back to shamans for horde and pallies for alliance
-
-
like jewelcrafting, blood elves, inscription, 90% of cooking and fishing, draenai, goblins, pandas
-
-
its gonna be a tough line to straddle. will they include the original iterations of the level 60 dungeons? or the super nerfed iterations?

Day one vanilla baby
-
-
-
holy shit I can't believe they're gonna do vanilla servers
-
WOW Vanilla. damn...
-
-
Oh God lol. It was fun at the time, but no way I could go back to that.
-
-
-
damn...judging by the number of hacked vanilla servers, this is going to be huge
-
-
I hope it's free to play, I'd love to go back and slowly level a character, but can't justify $15 a month for that. I'd be ok if they still sold gold and maybe sold xp boosts.

So Jaina focused expansion based on the big portrait of Jaina on stage?

Diablo dead again this year. Bleh.
-
Naturally. The only thing I'm remotely interested in from Blizzard isn't a massive cash cow for them so who cares.
-
not interested at all in that WoW expansion. So dumb storywise
-
-
Yeah but just like all the other ones there will be something that brings them together again. It being an island themed expansion there are 2 really big options. N'Zoth and Azshara or they could just have a Hakkar make a comeback.
-
This is the first time they've announced an expansion and it's done nothing for me. I feel like continuing to retread the same shit is the problem. We need something new again. Not more horde v alliance or burning legion.
And good lord, a fucking continent full of troll bullshit? Ugh.
-
-
And no Diablo announcement.
-
-
I don't see where you take Diablo right now. It's not going to be a huge departure visually, there are enough capable clones right now that I feel like it needs to be impactful in a way that exceeds a new story mode and a tweaked loot formula.
I'd be happy for it to rest for a decade and let me start to miss it again.-

They did the best they could with D3 but the core of the game wasn't really designed for long term content additions. It's very old fashioned compared to modern Blizzard games which are more service-oriented. I'd like to see a fresh start on D4 with a more persistent online focus (not quite an MMO, but instanced dungeons with communal areas) which uses a F2P model to keep the devs more invested in it long term. Love it or hate it, that's how you get a dev team to maintain a game for years. Write a campaign that's a little more non-linear like Adventure mode and lends itself well to adding new story content that's also farmable.
Also tone down the mudflation next time, for fuck's sake, this last patch was crazy.
