Why is it taking so looooooong

 

[FrsDvl]

Come on WoTLK 2

 

[Nokterian]

And just short of 100k on youtube.

Nearly 100k on youtube.

The thirst is real.

Y'all got some of those expansions?

 

[Robin64]

Why is it taking so looooooong

Because time is annoyingly linear and we have to go through other minutes before getting to the reveal minute.

 

[Vincent Grayson]

I'm hoping for some major changes to the profession system as it was ruined with WoD.

Garrisons in their current form should be scrapped.

I'd like to see the expansion set in Azeroth somewhere and not in an alternate time or space.

A new class and race would be lovely as well.

Agreed on all counts. If they do keep garrisons, they need to make the most important function (missions) usable outside the garrison itself. And yeah, find a way to make professions accessible while still actually being useful at all.

 

[Caffeine]

my youtube says 102613 watching now

 

[Arkeband]

No it's all WoD most people never play with the music on or never touched the game again after Wotlk

It's true, when Arthas was dead the story was over for me.

Queue "Invincible" and that's a wrap.

Deus Ex Deathwings just couldn't cut it.

 

[Arttemis]

Is this the fastest turnaround from expansion release to the best announcement?

 

[ZenaxPure]

Oh god, fatigue is starting to kick in since I've been up since 4 pm yesterday (and it's almost 11 am here where I am).

I need the hype now more than ever, please keep me from falling face first on my keyboard.

Someone upped the contrast on the logo.

There seems to be a lot of water on that globe.

 

[mcz117chief]

Another expansion so soon ? Is WoD so devoid of content or am I missing something ?

 

[Milly Osworth]

Hyyyyyyyyypeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

 

[Sectorseven]

Maybe it's Azshara, or part of it at least.

 

[BossDarkseid]

Hope its good. If i played an MMO nowadays it'd be ARR but when my friend got me into WoW aroiund WotLK it was glorious. Even if my first mage was super shit and i never really got into raids. I remember some area in Northrend and teaming up withs omeone to do a bunch of quests and we just played till 4am. It was great.

 

[StormyTheRabbit]

Another expansion so soon ? Is WoD so devoid of content or am I missing something ?

More to it than that, but in short yes.

 

[Robin64]

What's amusing when people say that WotLK was the end for them because of story is that MoP also had a wonderful story and that was entirely original to the MMO. Blizz are capable of doing good new stories, at times.

 

[Linkyn]

Another expansion so soon ? Is WoD so devoid of content or am I missing something ?

This is all according to plan, unlike MoP and WoD, which both ended up taking too damn long to come out.

 

[frequency]

Another expansion so soon ? Is WoD so devoid of content or am I missing something ?

They have been trying to do annual expansions for a very long time. Not related to WoD's reception.

"EXPANSION REVEALED TODAY ONLY"

Heads up guys, the expansion won't be revealed anymore tomorrow

In a nutshell - yes.

 

[Cpt.Underpants]

Is Metzen still writing them or Blizz has a seperate team for it?

 

[Granadier]

And just short of 100k on youtube.

Jesus. There's ~200k people watching for the reveal.

 

[Nokterian]

I hope for one..garrisons either it will not be in this expansions but also do not make it mandatory it takes everything away what i liked about WoW mostly social interaction in cities like Ironforge or Stormwind a reason i go there instead of the garrison. Also better content more class options and what not.

I still play WoW from time to time,WoD was pretty cool but to me the lack of content was no fun also the patches where to meh.

 

[CassSept]

Another expansion so soon ? Is WoD so devoid of content or am I missing something ?

On one hand, yes.

On the other hand, they are always revealed waay in advance. WotLK was revealed less than 7 months after TBC release, Cata was revealed 9 months after WotLK release, MoP was revealed 10 months after Cata release, WoD is the outlier being revealed over a year after MoP release (almost 14 months).

It's been 9 months since WoD release for reference.

 

[Einchy]

Jesus. There's ~200k people watching for the reveal.

Everyone who is currently subbed to WoW is tuning in to know if they should let their sub drop.

Lol

 

[Velcro Fly]

For a game I have no desire to play, I'm right here waiting to see the direction it will take in the future.

 

[maniac-kun]

In b4 they only reveal the logo.

Some cosplay from Gamescom:

 

[RE_Player]

We still have an hour right?

 

[Seiniyta]

Is the sound clipping on the twitch stream?

 

[Dicer]

yes, that number is clearly 5.6million

 

[fluffydelusions]

We still have an hour right?

5 min

 

[FrsDvl]

We still have an hour right?

No. 5 minutes.

 

[Robin64]

We still have an hour right?

45 mins from now will be the actual reveal. Concert first.

 

[Linkyn]

We still have an hour right?

5 minutes.

Edit: At least until the stream starts.

 

[Granadier]

Is the sound clipping on the twitch stream?

clipping on both streams.

 

[Einchy]

yes, that number is clearly 5.6million

Clearly only 200k are still subbed.

Spoiler

I was joking about how many people unsubbed.

 

[Gipsy Danger]

Don't really play WoW anymore but I would love a reason to get back into it. Hope the expansion is at least decent, didn't really play WoD though.

 

[Desaan]

Return of the Warlord Panda Lich Kings: Cataclysm

 

[Seiniyta]

clipping on both streams.

Oh good, it's not my headset starting to die on me ^^'

 

[GasProblem]

Wait, there's a concert first?

 

[Ryan_]

mm, the music now sounds so mysterious. I'm actually getting hyped.

 

[Alpha Centauri]

I just wished they would hire more voice actors for bosses and heroes. I'm tired of Metzen talking to Metzen while giving you a quest to kill Angry Metzen.

 

[Xyphie]

I'm going to say Argus (or some other Burning Legion world) on the small chance I'll look like a genius in retrospect.

Rocky and Central do you even exist, and fuck you rest of the East Coast.

People come back for expansions and always quit a month or two afterwards. It justs make sense to pump out expansions on Blizz's part.

They actually did this with MoP.
