Anyone watching the blizzcon stream?

Wahlgren · Oct 2010

Just wondering.

Main event kicked off recently. Nothing major right now. Just fanpraise

Skamberin · Oct 2010

Watching and refreshing whenever it stops :P Also watching The Instances guys live comment on it. Waiting for new IP :P pretty giddy :P

Wahlgren · Oct 2010

Ah. I'm hoping they show it soon

If they don't show it at all I'll be a bit bummed out hehe. To bad i can't watch the high quality one. It's to slow and stutters. Nope I got a great comp and fibre broadband.

Wahlgren · Oct 2010

Tyler, you should know better

Skamberin · Oct 2010

GOD DAMNIT METZEN WHAT ARE YOU STALLING

Wahlgren · Oct 2010

Technical difficulties the blizzard style. They're just doing random google image searches. Maybe they'll show their new project in the slide?

Skamberin · Oct 2010

Why is this so exciting, I must be a geek, oh god.

Skamberin · Oct 2010

This makes me feel less ashamed about being a geek

JFletcher · Oct 2010

not watching the stream but following a chat feed that was pretty reliable last year, 5th diablo class inc!

Skamberin · Oct 2010

Hunter class ey? neato!

JFletcher · Oct 2010

demoooon hunteeer!

Wahlgren · Oct 2010

Looks awesome. And pvp arenas. Here's my wallet blizzard. Take what you want.

Skamberin · Oct 2010

New IP want, also laglaglag

Wahlgren · Oct 2010

Nuthin yet

Skamberin · Oct 2010

The hunter was the main announcement?

Wahlgren · Oct 2010

I guess its more focused on their current games then. I dont think the average audience knows about the new mmo.

Skamberin · Oct 2010

Kind of glad I didn't pay for a ticket.If the only new thing was Diablo 3 class and PVP and if that was the huge announcement then.. meh

Good for Diablo 3 hardcore fans I guess.

Wahlgren · Oct 2010

i'm gonna enjoy the art panels

Skamberin · Oct 2010

...I guess I want thems :<

MagicSugar · Oct 2010

What are the blizzcon exclusive items they're selling?

Any new artbooks? Any starcraft related that's either a new artbook or a figure?

Skamberin · Oct 2010

Well, now what does one spend the day on :I

Tom Ellis · Oct 2010

No new MMO announcement??!!!

That was a huge anti-climax. I was refreshing a liveblog like crazy and then when I saw 'and that's all folks'... my interest in Blizzcon dropped by about 9000.

So they're just gonna be talking about stuff we already know about for 3 days?

Tom Ellis · Oct 2010

Doesn't the big stuff get announced at the opening keynote though? I thought it was just panels over the weekend

Cojax · Oct 2010

I thought they already said that project wasn't far enough along to announce anything yet in the near future. I remember reading something like that.

Autocon · Oct 2010

I dont see why everyone would expect the new IP to drop this Blizzcon. Would be pretty dumb IMO with all they have going on.

Starcraft 2 was just released so im sure there going to have a bunch on that front in terms of game success, the whole ladder league and any kind of balancing to the game.

WoW's next ex-pack is coming out this December and is defiantly going to be there main focus of hey see all this awesome new stuff? yeah get ready to get sucked back into Azeroth!

And then D3 announcements with the game coming out soon, possibly late next year.

Dont think they need to announce the new MMO as they have a lot going for them right now with 1 game just recently release and 2 more well on the way. No need to steal the spotlight from WoW/D3 for an MMO that wont be out for a good while IMO.

crazyfingers · Oct 2010

Oh, man, I'm so f*cking sold on diablo III right now.

Yeah I guess,

Ah well, they've certainly got me excited about the upcoming additions to their current 3 franchises.

JFletcher · Oct 2010

WoW dungeon and raids panel starting now.

(I think

ZacD · Oct 2010

I would subscribe if it was less, oh well I can watch the sc2 matches.

JFletcher · Oct 2010

Ok so far it's pretty underwhelming

Millah · Oct 2010

Gimme my EARS!!

ZacD · Oct 2010

Starcraft 2 tourny is on (and free)

Wahlgren · Oct 2010

I like how in every QA the guy next to metzen is like "should we?" and Metzen's like "yeaaaaah, let's do it!" then they announce a bunch of stuff that probably wouldnt have been announced if the questions didn't come.

Jeremy-S · Oct 2010

Didn't know it was going on, so I missed the Diablo 3 stuff, which is all I care about. Don't play WoW, or any MMO's, for that matter. So is there a video on demand that we don't have to pay for? I'd really like to see that Diablo 3 stuff. Definitely be watching the starcraft 2 tournaments if there's any left

crazyfingers · Oct 2010

Jeremy, here's a good gameplay video showcasing the new demon hunter class if you want to check it out. The end bits of it also showcase the new PvP arenas:

By far the most impressive thing revealed yesterday in my opinion was the skill ruin system for the game though, this video really dosn't do it justice:

Here's a video of a fat kid breaking his leg due to years of physical atrophy from playing too much wow:

And here's a video of a pretty hot nerdy chick awkwardly getting down to some wow music if that's your thing:

Watch those 3 video's and you'll more or less have the full Blizzcon experience.

JFletcher · Oct 2010

Oh god, poor guy, that must have been embarrassing as hell. (Then again i guess most of the dance and costume stuff is, heh)

Jeremy-S · Oct 2010

Thanks for the videos, crazyfingers. The Diablo 3 stuff in that was kinda meh, could have easily been shown as just another update to the site, but still cool. Really looking forward to finally getting my hands on that game.

The leg break... I hate that stuff, but have to watch it. Grimacing the whole time, but I have to watch it. And yeah, JFletcher, I agree, the dance and costume stuff is embarrassing, and I'm not even involved with it...

Now my pc is squealing for some reason, hope it's not dying all of a sudden. Thanks again.

[EDIT] closed my browser to shutdown my pc, only to find the "squealing" sound was the blizzcon feed, test pattern...

Taylor Hood · Oct 2010

Man, that kid breaking his leg was hard to watch. XD

Wahlgren · Oct 2010

You missed out on the heart of the swarm concepts

Looks very colorfull that's for sure.

Anyway. Reaaaaaally enjoyed the cinematics and art panel. Still got some left.
