Between this and Team Fortress 2 I'm getting really annoyed of developers unwilling to rewrite the formula. It's a struggle to see the changes in those tech trees.

Oh and the WoW news is mehtastic. Nobody wants to be forced to make a new character to get a special class.

updated with terran section

 

[Quazar]

So if we were to see any new game announcement would it be today or tomorrow?

 

[Tamanon]

Depends on if they had any gameplay footage ready. If you're talking about D3, there's still a chance it at least gets mentioned tomorrow.

 

[Mojojo]

Wow-europe has the site for the Xpac ready with the video trailer too.

 

[aznpxdd]

The redesigned tanks look a lot better.

 

[Big-E]

Does that Star Base have guns on it? Kind of looks like it does from the photo. It would be sweet bringing one of those into battle.

What?

You think more people would prefer to lose their old character to make a new class?

 

[echoshifting]

Keep carrying those Diablo III torches guys! I'll leave a light on for ya.

Wow, SC2 is gorgeous, and the new expansion site is AMAZING.

In fact, SC2 may be one of it not the most beautiful RTS I have ever seen.

Do I think most people would rather have hero classes be another form of customizing their own character? Umm... yes. Having it be a glorified alt makes no sense at all.

Now the game is calling me back......

 

[KyanMehwulfe]

Media goodness today.

Seven minutes 'til the tournament matches start.

 

[pxleyes]

The new fire effects in WoW are REALLY nice. I hope they go back and update the old ones with this new graphic set.

 

[Proelite]

HMMMMMM?
hmmmmm.
Anyone curious about the bottom screen? :lol CNC starcraft forealz.

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

man that viking unit of the terrans is cool

 

[pxleyes]

HMMMMMM?

what are you babbling about? It is just the new nuke graphic.

That's how I figured they'd do it. Why have to roll a new alt? Doesn't make any sense. I can even agree with changing your class and dropping you down to 60, but you start at level 80 power and work your way up. In essence you'd become an Elite. Much more powerful than regular classes. Then put some things in to make sure that those characters can't group or something. The only real issue would be World PvP, but arenas and such would be tuned correctly. That would make it much more interesting...at least in my opinion.

 

[maniac-kun]

after reading the faq i think you have to be a paladin to become a death knight and it would limit the amount of deathknights so not everyone will have it unless the level a paladin 80 levels to do the dk quest

 

[aznpxdd]

Agreed, SC2 looks absolutely fantastic. What Blizzard lacks in cutting edge tech they make up in art direction and design.

More SC goodness.

Look at the nuke go!

 

[Kintaro]

Damn Arthas looks badass. I need to get to work on my mage. ;_;

 

[Crayon Shinchan]

Awesome. They updated the visuals on the siege tanks.

Much better looking now.

 

[Femmeworth]

:O @ the Viking.

 

[Tamanon]

Lich King panel on stream now.

 

[Proelite]

what are you babbling about? It is just the new nuke graphic.

The promotion chevrons on units ala cnc.

 

[KyanMehwulfe]

The new terrain is incredible. So fitting for my own tastes.

 

[DSN2K]

I simply just dont have time or patience anymore to get characters to the levels required to play this new stuff so I wont bother.

Blizzard need to open the game up to the casual player again somehow, if thats by pre-made high level characters then so be it.

 

[FrankT]

Damn Arthas looks badass. I need to get to work on my mage. ;_;

Yes, he does, I swear this game is like crack-cocaine.

 

[Stormwatch]

WTF! They were talking about the Death Knights finally and Giga2 cut away. Darn it!

 

[vitaflo]

I hope they announce something more interesting for WotLK. Right now it just looks like more of the same. :/

 

[Acidote]

He repeated sometimes...

Deathknights can tank while dual-wielding or 2h, no need of shields. :3

What

 

[Tamanon]

What

Yup...in fact it actually sounded like he was saying they can't even equip shields. That'll be pretty cool and would satisfy all the damn MS warriors I know, lol.

It would certainly satisfy this retired MS warrior, that's for certain.

I can just hear it now, nerf, nerf, nerf!

 

[J-Rzez]

So Death Knights are bascially like Dark Knights from FFXI afterall? AWESOME!

 

[KyanMehwulfe]

Class panel going on now, btw.

 

[Stormwatch]

Class panel going on now, btw.

Not any more...they've cut away to another live match

 

[keanerie]

WHY cut away WHY he was finally getting to the meat of his presentation

 

[krypt0nian]

Not any more...they've cut away to another live match

That was actually really interesting too. ****ing live matches.

ANyone liveblogging the class presentation?

 

[Stormwatch]

I don't know if anyone is live blogging it, but pc.ign.com said they'll have videos of all the presentations up later tonight.

Cool enough I guess. Stupid giga.de.

They are liveblogging the panels.

 

[Ramirez]

The concept stuff they've shown for Northrend looks so ****ing badass. My favorite part of the game has always been seeing areas for the first time!

 

[Son of Godzilla]

I love how the class panel is basically just them laughing at all the complaints.

Well, that's Northrend as it was last time I checked (nearly 2 yars ago) four you :

 

[echoshifting]

Wha? Sounds like they are acknowledging most of the big problems people have and doing what they can to fix them. What are they laughing away, exactly?
