Wowhead Weekly #212 - BlizzCon 2019 Predictions and Leaks

from my experience, last year, just keep watching Wowhead and all the juicy tidbits will all show up here, usually by end of the day you know everything they do in the conference hall.

Yes, Wowhead team does a great job covering the event. The main reason many buys tickets are the associated collectibles.

So... in an effort for Blizzard to "bring the community together," the big reveal is that Diablo 4 IS the Shadowlands area and that Bolvar has been in talks with Lilith throughout BfA. This cross-franchise will be a serious-themed version of HotS fun yet light-hearted take of both realms converging. There could be an option that both are separate, however you can freely transfer your new character through either WoW or Diablo 4 in order to suit your play style. This will be one of the first times you can use a character you've created through multiple Blizzard titles.

Overwatch 2 - Remember when Valve had a break-in? Turns out Blizzard has been working with Gabe Newell, and Overwatch 2 will have Gordon Freeman working with our heroes. Yes, HL3/Overwatch crossover confirmed! Besides, who would really steal and trade-in at Gamestop? And that logo... The world needs heroes, and now that Talon are reviving Black Mesa...

So, those are my hopes for this Friday, but either way... I'm excited!

If the Bolvar one is true the eye thing better get explained or we are looking at WoD levels of basic continuity screw ups, one of the best examples being Kargath's hand being on the wrong side in several official merchandise items and the actual loading screen of Draenor. If we're getting screw ups like that with the most prominent lore figure of the possible xpack Bolvar, that means Activision is rushing the xpack like they did Cata and WoD and it will be one of the worst if not the worst expansion pack to the game. Something this game can not afford after all the undeserved negative press and down right hate BFA has gotten.

Ya if they make the LK's eyes blue instead of red then this xpac will be way worse than WOD, let alone the triumph which is BFA.

Also kargath's hand...don't get me started...that was the biggest turn off for me from WOD...it's one thing to make an mmo centered around the single player experience of garrisons, but when you miss important lore like this the game becomes almost unplayable!

and you completely missed the point of, the continuity issues 90% of the time mean the gameplay will also get neglected and rushed. and I never said BFA was a triumph I said it was not bad its a fun xpack with enjoyable content, unlike WoD where all we had was a face book game and broken/cut content, yet many morrons seem to think BFA is worse than WoD.
