Good afternoon, readers! We are less than an hour away until the start of BlizzCon 2016(which lasts ’till tomorrow night until Sunday morning for here in EDT(which will turn into EST this Sunday)). If you have the Virtual Ticket (or going there in person or as a group), are you hyped? Is this your first BlizzCon? Let me know when you can via emails.

\nMe? No. I’m not hyped. Infact, I’m doing this for you guys. The reason I’m making this post is I’m being asked what am I looking towards. Well, besides Blizzard announcing the World of Warcraft being shut down due to “we just don’t care about it anymore and Overwatch is way more profitable”(which likely isn’t going to happen anytime soon), I’m curious what they have to say for Patch 7.2(and in the future). And if they will actually address (and will<\/strong> fix) several player concerns – “forced content”, highly questionable class changes, and Legendaries gated behind RNG – that has the community fuming one way or the other.<\/p>\n

And of course, to see Weird Al preform live on stage (for the first time in my life mind you), I am sooo looking forward to that (I mean it, by the way).
\nBut overall, I feel that this will have more lies and overhyped bullshit (even though I heard that it they were quite careful with their words last year’s BlizzCon).<\/p>\n

Also, as I said before, this will be a ‘make or break’ for me if I should continue to tolerate what they do to this game, or finally say “ENOUGH!!!” and ‘break the chain’ of WoW.
\nBut, we shall see. The Opening Ceremony is less than 45 minutes away. Maybe I might be blown away and all “HOLY.. sign me up, Blizzard!! :D” ….Or “you know what? Fuck this. I’m done. It’s been fun, Blizzard..but enough is enough. It’s time to say goodbye.”<\/p>\n

EDIT: 30 minutes ’till the Opening Ceremony. Method VS Panda Gaming is playing in the WoW Arena World Championship in a 3×3 battle. They’re currently having technical difficulties.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
