Well, BlizzCon is over and done with, and what a crazy two days it's been! The official announcement of World of Warcraft: Cataclysm, new races, stat changes, new raids and dungeons, new progression paths, guild leveling, the beautiful Tricia Helfer as Kerrigan in StarCraft II, the Diablo 3 Monk class ... my brain is positively swimming in new stuff. There was something for everyone here, except maybe those hoping for new info about the next-gen MMO.
So, I asked you guys a few days ago what announcement you were waiting for at BlizzCon. Some of you got your wishes, looks like! What was your favorite announcement made at BlizzCon? Anything got your blood pumping? Some special phrase into a microphone that warmed the cockles of your heart? Don't be shy. We all fell a little in love this year. Let the world know, and be at peace.

@Hoaxs No, I like the typo, it makes the next 'celeb' WoW ad easy to cast http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terry_Wogan

Worgen, and the start area looks like its gonna rock. Also, Gilneas looks like it will be my favourite area.

Prolly the guild system I think it will be really innovative and as a guild leader it is gonna help a bunch.

This one actually ruined all the fun Blizzcon had been up to that point for me.
I'm from a very small family/friend guild. IE we have 4 accounts /members. Not even a full group.
We do everything we can together, and work hard. We've always had to deal with the handicaps presented by this game to smaller groups.
I feel shafted. Things are already guild oriented, and so much easier when you have more people.
NOW they get even MORE perks? Its like feeding a fat man pure lard. Pointless. A guild already has so much by having so many more people.
To top it off, now we'll have to get into a bigger guild just to be able to do rated battlegrounds because its the only practical way.
I feel that wow, once very open to a variety of playstyles, has closed the door in our faces. There is no place for us as a smaller band of adventurers. While the decision to leave our guild resides with each of us individually, I can't help but feel like Blizzard is forcing us to close shop on our beloved little guild. :(

You do realise that you can level your guild without raiding right? Even without going into an instance!
Just do some Pvp, some dailies, and you'l be lvl 20 before you know it!
Don't be down, take it as a challenge! A common goal for your little band of hopefully merry men!
Besides, none of the perks are really gamebreaking. Mostly fun stuff, and stuff that is practical when raiding and leveling... Since you guild probably only does one of those two, it's not really that bad.

Gotta say, loving getting rid of mana with hunters. and the different class/race combinations.

^ This. And the comment right below me. I'm totally going to have a Worgen Hunter. How can you get anymore badass and intimidating than a werewolf with a gun?

Honestly, I was more disappointed with the next WoW x pac. I kind of feel it is just an excuse to reuse old content and old world stuff. I'd prefer seeing something I have never seen before, not just re-hashed on zones and dungeons.
Looking forward more to Diablo 3 than any other blizzard game right now.

Worgen being confirmed just made my day...
That and hearing about Azeroth being completely redesigned... Now I wont put off on levelling any Alts when the expansion hits :)

I love the whole deathwing is out to destroy the world thing, he looks badass :D
Azizrael Aug 23rd 2009 8:19AM
