Breakfast Topic: What BlizzCon announcement are you waiting for?

BlizzCon is just a day away now! WoW.com staffers are gonna be haunting the grounds in full force and are likely to leave some ectoplasmic residue (read: drool) on a number of demo tables and panel floors, depending on what's announced and shown at the event. And the announcements are, at least for most everyone but Blizzard, still a mystery. Popular opinion (and the ability to put two and two together) seems to indicate the unveiling of a new WoW expansion, but why stop there? After all, there are three other games that Blizzard is working on -- or so they say -- so it's quite possible that we'll see some big ol' infodrops about those titles too.Or maybe Blizzard will through us for a loop and treat us to two days of Premonition raids and panels about J. Allen Brack's ponytail. It is a mystery!
So what are you holding out for? StarCraft II release date? Diablo 3 bombshell? Next-gen MMO reveal? Glossy eight-by-tens of Zarhym in shades and a leather jacket (so dreamy)?
BlizzCon 2009 is coming up on August 21st and 22nd! We've got all the latest news and information. At BlizzCon you can play the latest games, meet your guildmates, and ask the developers your questions. Plus, there's some great looking costumes.Filed under: Breakfast Topics, BlizzCon

This.
Or more accurately: For them to announce it, and it hae nothing to do with cataclysm or the leaked info posted on MMO-Champion, and then for Bouboille to walk naked down the streets of Paris.

DIABLO III!!!
Hefren Aug 19th 2009 11:10AM
I'd be psyched to see an approximate release date for Diablo III.
klink-o Aug 19th 2009 8:05AM
Whichever one uses words like "revolutionary" and "paradigm shift". I expect at least one of those.
Duulket Aug 19th 2009 8:06AM

I am waiting for the Announcement of the Next Generation MMO "Catalysm", and Jeff Kaplan telling us, how he made fools of us by making us believe in WoW: Catalysm.

Hahaha that would be awesome :D

NEW HERO CLASS! (hey, it could happen!)
Jipi Aug 19th 2009 8:49AM
I would like that too ! Chances are low...but we can hope !
Besides that, I would love to hear about their next MMO...but I think chances are about 0% of hearing something about it...
Let's say then, Diablo 3 classes and timeframe(or beta timeframe) and next WoW expansion...

Would like to see Blizzard announce a new Hero class, not for the next expansion, but for an upcoming patch. I could definitely see a new Hero class released with the Icecrown patch...a group of individuals ready to assist in defeating Arthas.
Nevermindz Aug 19th 2009 8:14AM
Pretty much everything: the new WoW expansion, Starcraft2 release date, Diablo 3 announcements and more info about the upcoming MMO.
CrusaderStrike Aug 19th 2009 8:17AM
Waiting on any new info on Diablo 3!!!
Tony Montana Aug 19th 2009 8:20AM
Diablo 3, WoW: Catacylsm, Starcraft 2 and maybe some details on the new MMO though that is doubtful.
It must be difficult being Blizzard if they were to announce for example a new class for Diablo 3 it would be huge. If they announced a solid release date for Starcraft 2 again huge and obviously anything to do with WoW would be huge.
What if they have multiple announcements wouldn't those announcements cannibalise the the publicity from the other announcements?
Maybe there need to be several Blizzcons a year so they can make a big announcement at a big event every few months.
