>>THE FINAL WoW EXPANSION
Unironically not all that unlikely but I'm expecting it'll survive into 2023 and it'll die in 10.2 on K'aresh after a 9.0 in Dragon Isles (Shadowlands end-game).

>new character models reflecting ultra-cartoony design
Why isn't this complaint in MoP with pandas.

The same reason "heirlooms turn leveling into a joke" isn't in Cataclysm. It wasn't started by Cataclysm. Cataclysm started the new art design so MoP can't be blamed for it.

Also, complex zone design meaning it's not Cataclysm and MoP where they're afraid to have any mountains or hills or barriers.

>shitaku

I am still mad. We didn't get SC Ghost, we lost Titan and this. I wish we didn't know.

Even with all the rumours I'm still really doubting they're making a full-fledged Diablo 4

PoE is just so fucking far ahead of anything Blizzard would budget for a Diablo game at this point, they just wouldn't make it. Unless it's some turbo-jew shit

I want a wrath follow up to classic that covers levels 60-80 with all cut content like Azjol-Nerub and crystal forest zones and a Gundrak raid.

Cardgame in an MMO would unironically be pretty cool. Hearthstone sucks though

>with all cut content like Azjol-Nerub and crystal forest zones and a Gundrak raid.
That's not Classic then is it.

that's the thing, no one wants any alteration to vanilla or tbc but literally no one would argue that those additions to wrath would be great, making it a far more interesting prospect for a relaunch than tbc. It ain't gonna happen because blizz would never divide the playerbase between classic, and give you the option of tbc or wrath, OR miss out on tbc fan money to make the ultimate wrath experience.

I expect free phones for everyone.

Diablo 4, not going to happen though and if it does it's doing to likely be complete shit

expecting:
>talking about some new retail patch no one gives a fuck about besides people with the sunk cost fallacy
>a new shit map or character for overwatch
>showing off warcraft 3 remake where they didn't listen to fan feedback so the models still look like shit
>more of that shit mobile game, probably another mobile game
>ending it with some big title card they think people will care about like Diablo 4 after how shit Diablo 3 was
>maybe a remake of Diablo 2 that completely butchers it but thats more likely to come after warcraft 3

hopes:
>the bug man goes on stage and commits sudoku for general mao

>Classic+ announcement (OSRS)
>Wrath of the Lich King servers
This stuff wont be talked about for like a year or two once all the phases are done.

PoE is the endpoint of the diablo 2 model, everyone should just come up with something else now

>expecting
trash
>want to see
within reason:
>diablo 4 teaser that looks properly medieval, realistic and dark
>wc3 map editor features (you can do ANYTHING)

Diablo 4 obviously. Should be a glorious trainwreck.

>kotaku

>linking to kotaku

suck dick op

have sex

>WoW expansion
Yeah probably
>Overwatch L4D-like clone
Didn't this article basically confirm that OW2 is gonna be a thing?
>Diablo Witcher-like clone
I wish but no, they're probably just going to do D4 to try and salvage the series.
>HotS heroes
One, at best
>Hearthstone expansion
Obviously. Can't have a blizzcon without it.
>Vague discussion about what to do after Naxx
Ion has said they're open to the OSRS option but won't really internally discuss it until after Naxx is out.

Originally HS was just supposed to be a minigame in WoW that you played in Inns against other players.

Go shill Shitaku elsewhere or provide an archive link

Here: get out

should one man hold that much power?

Thanks user glad you are here so cokcomngreling Op can suck even more cocks

>Overwatch PvE mode
That already exists, your team vs bots

i just clicked the kotaku link on 3 browsers u mad?

It still work as 1 resetera newfag tranny

my phone has a different IP and no adblock :)

imagine there's 2billion more people in the world now than in 2004 and still sub count is about equal to launch of wow... yikes

>hey look at me, im retarded and im doing retarded things, praise me!

next time you'll shit in your mouth just like attention whore you are
get dabed on OP and suck it

cope

how is ffxiv doing compared to wow? all those korean style mega grinders seem to die very fast, even with flashy action combat

*clicks kotaku link*

The art style shift was definitely in MoP. Worgen might have had a gay starting zone but compare their models to Pandas and it's really obvious that they were from seperate time periods. Much of t11/12 looked closer to Wrath style than MoP. Also stuff like Twilight Highlands and Deepholm were plenty "complex" you just had a flying mount

>how is ffxiv doing compared to wow?
According a metric on how many characters are regularly being played, FFXIV had about 600k active users last month.

Remember, a game being as unfathomably huge as WoW is simply not the norm with MMOs. It's not a genre that pulls most gamers in because grinding is inherently not fun.

Based.

Depends what sources you want to believe.

It should be noted that ffxiv is currently in the lul between expansions and the next one which is quite hyped up releases in less than a month.
If it has 600k players now, it's gonna have a hell of a lot more than that next month.

My point is that WoW is an anomaly and people should not use it as a metric to judge the life of other MMOs. People always made fun of the "WoW only has 5m subs right now!", but the fact is no other MMO in the world could even touch that number. That's how far ahead they were.

>diablo 4
>Overcucks 2

Diablo 4 is their only way of salvaging the Immortal fiasco at this point. Hell, would anyone really be all that pissed if after the Immortal announcement, they just had some voiceover by Deckard Cain and then a flaming D4 on screen?

Oh wow haha I see what you did there, it's like Overwatch but you put the word cuck instead, very clever, very epic, I like it

>expect
shitshow
>want
diablo 2 remake

They don't even have to make Diablo 4, they could just remaster Diablo 2 and people would've been happy. I don't think they'll ever remake the first game now that they do the yearly event in 3.

If diablo 4 is being made by the same people that made diablo 3 then it's going to suck dog shit

It'll still sell

Reality

>New Overwatch character, some minority, SJW's claim they feel represented, no one talks about how the game is dying
>New WoW expansion that doesn't fix any of the problems with retail WoW, no one cares about it
>Announces release date for next Classic phase with Dire maul & such
>New HOTS hero
>New Hearthstone expansion
>Diablo immortal with a Diablo 4 teaser at the end to make people forget about the shitty chinese phone game
>Warcraft mobile game that is a copy of Pokemon GO, won't get as much hate as Diablo Immortal because Warcraft fans got Reforged & Classic

Expectations

>Why would you have any for modern Blizzard?

but I am

Overwatch 2

I can't imagine Dire Maul won't already be out by November.

Good video for anyone who hasn't played D2 extensively and wants to understand why Diablo3 was hated universally by veterans or anyone with functioning brain cells.

Before wow, many mmos were happy to have 5-6 figure populations. Mmorpgs tend to be the prime example of "too big too fail" mindsets ever since WoW came out.

Still though, there's nothing on the horizon besides Pantheon. All companies including Korean ones (which were all shit after Lineage 2) are jumping ship, mostly to mobile gaming.

>Before wow, many mmos were happy to have 5-6 figure populations.
Hell FFXI is still around officially and it only has like 4k players. The servers must cost so little to run that there's no reason to shut them down.

source?
