About to start and got home before the beginning this time. I'll be posting the big announcements from opening as they happen.

[lupi]

Seems their start time not same as published.

 

[EXCellR8]

Buddy of mine is making some props for it... Diablo Necromancer I think. Not sure if he's actually going though.

 

[lupi]

They have a bungie guy talking about Destiny in this forever pre-show show.

And anyone that logs in to the battlenet launcher can claim a free copy of Destiny 2 through 11/18.

 

[Dannar26]

I'm here for Classic.

I really hope they give the classic community something to chew on.

 

[lupi]

Nothing new mentioned yet other than at President.....

 

[lupi]

First new stuff he intros....and he starts talking about Starcraft 2, wtf?!?

 

[lupi]

Instead he's just glossing over each franchise. More deepmind AI for starcraft.

And now 2 new heroes for HotS.

 

[lupi]

First one looks to be HotS created character, daughter of the Raven Lord. Video style looks like Americanized Japanese anime of american content.

Or is it only one char?

She is free to all blizzcon tickets.

 

[lupi]

WoW portion of opening rather yawn.

About to get to classic though.

 

[lupi]

WoW classic launches Summer 2019.

 

[lupi]

New Wow cinematic.

 

[lupi]

Fairly short one, introducing the Anduin getting Saurfang to lead Civil War against Sylvanas angle.

 

[lupi]

And we go to the hearthstone stage and realize no one did a sound check.

 

[lupi]

Looks like they realized it finally and jumped ahead to overwatch.

 

[lupi]

New overwatch video. Reunion.

 

[lupi]

Pretty cool McCree film. Loved the Omni sweating and incorporating the High Noon.


Bunch of new chars they could add to the game.

 

[lupi]

Ashe looks like first one up into the game. Female rifle tooting bandit.

Assuming Bob recall is a power?

Yes, Bob is the ultimate.

 

[lupi]

Going to Classic Games?

 

[lupi]

A new remaster....

 

[lupi]

A somewhat basic but very cool video followed with Warcraft 3 Reforged logo.

Releases next year.

Now showing gameplay video.

Goes up to 4K, Feels like you're playing the original but looks quite good.

 

[lupi]

And back to hearthstone.

 

[lupi]

Adding links to OP.

 

[lupi]

New Hearthstone Expansion: Rastakhans' Rumble, based on the Gurubashi arena in stranglethorn.

 

[lupi]

New keyword, Overkill. Shown on a weapon and allows you to attack again if you kill a minion.

Adds Loa to the game as spirit cards, 0-3 with stealth turn played and looks to give combo bonuses to other cards.

Also has Loa's as actual cards and they look quest like to be able to play but quite powerful.

Releases 12/4.
