Anyone coming out this year?

I can't imagine they're ready to announce Titan yet, so I'm predicting the next WoW Expansion along with.... the Diablo expansion? Too early?

Probably not this year, but you never know, I might change my mind by the time the ticket stampede happens.

So, out of curiosity, why would anyone (from f13) go to Blizzcon this year:

1. No one seems to like where Diablo 3 went.
2. Everyone (at least here) is pretty much over WoW.
3. Their card game is hilariously dumb.
4. Do people here play SCII?

For the swag?  Chance to buy hilariously overpriced Blizzard-Brand goods? It's the only place to buy this year's Blizzard Beer-Stein?

Then again those were the only reasons I saw to go in the past, too.

The past cannot be changed. The future is yet within your power.

I mainly go to hang out and drink with people I know. It's not exactly a long drive for me, so it works out.

The whole Blizzard song-and-dance is whatever. I like watching the last Starcraft match and the costume contest, that's about it.

For me, it's an excuse to drive down the coast, visit friends along the way, see my sister in the OC, etc. But yeah with my current level of Blizzard game participation it probably isn't worth the money (despite the fact that I'm one of the few here who like D3.)

So since the teaser site's up for the D3 expansion pack, that's probably Gamescom.

Hearthstone is a known quantity. Too soon for a Starcraft xpack.

Ladies and gentlemen, nothing but a WoW expansion. Maybe Blizzard All-Stars (BAllS)

I didn't know Balls was still a thing. Dumb. They can't compete with Valve. Never could really.

I'm not sure you should underestimate the I WANT TO BE THRALL people. They'll find a niche.

They did say they were exploring the possibility of adding MOBA-style gameplay to WoW.  I imagine that'll be one of the big things too.
