    Blizzcon 2015 (November 6 - 7)



    You’ve been summoned to Southern California for BlizzCon® 2015! Blizzard’s ninth epic gaming convention and community celebration is returning to the Anaheim Convention Center on Friday, November 6 and Saturday, November 7, 2015. Form a party with your fellow members of the Blizzard community and get ready for two days of in-depth discussion panels with our developers, hands-on play time with the latest Blizzard games, and intense eSports tournaments featuring top pro gamers from around the world.

    BlizzCon 2015 tickets will go on sale in two batches on Thursday, April 16 at 3 a.m. CET and Saturday, April 18 at 6 p.m. CET through the online event ticketing service Eventbrite, priced at $199 each (plus applicable taxes and fees). Check out the BlizzCon Ticket webpage for all the details.

    In addition, we’re once again planning a special pre-BlizzCon Benefit Dinner the evening of Thursday, November 5 in support of Children’s Hospital of Orange County (CHOC), where guests will have a chance to meet and chat with developers, artists, community team representatives, and others from Blizzard. Attendance to this special event will be limited, and we’ll have more information on ticket pricing and availability at a later date.

    If you can’t make it to the show in person, you’ll be able to watch from home with the BlizzCon Virtual Ticket, offering comprehensive live coverage of the event via a multichannel Internet stream. Further details on the Virtual Ticket, including pricing, availability, and programming information, will be announced at a later date.

    See the full press release or check out the BlizzCon Ticket page for more information, and be sure to visit www.blizzcon2015.eventbrite.com at the dates and times above for a chance to purchase a ticket to the show.

    Now that I live so close to this, I never feel like going ><; My last real hype for Blizzcon was 2009/2010 when SC2 was coming out, followed by D3. I guess it could be cool this year for Legacy of the Void and their new IP but I dunno...

    Miss the live SC matches something fierce though.

    Yeah I'm not buying and reselling tickets again this year because eBay is fucking gay with their policies. Might grab a few for friends as normal since I'm usually able to get them.

    Grabbing two tickets tonight; have a friend starting out there in Irvine next month so it should be a great opportunity to hang out and meet some devs

    You wouldn't know that though because you've demonstrably never picked up a book nor educated yourself on the matter. Let me guess, overweight housewife?

    I want to play Overwatch soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo badly.

    But I think Blizzcon is not going to be a reality until my son is at least 5 (the age minimum there).

    I'll be picking up my ticket tonight to. Last year was my first year and it was a lot of fun. Just need to make sure I book the hilton hotel this time since that is where everyone stays.

    Legion release date to be on or before 21st September 2016 (but it's not a release date) ... does that mean current WoW players will be raiding Hellfire Citadel for up to 1 more year?

    That seems like a really long time to go between expansions given the smaller scope of WoD raid content. I thought part of the explanation for only having 2 major raid patches was that they wanted to shorten the expansion cycle to 1.5 years.

    Also, if true would this make Hellfire Citadel the longest raid tier in the game's history? ICC holds the record for being the longest from what I remember.

    Was ICC longer than Black Temple? For some reason I feel like that took forever.

    No new content at the end of expansions has been a recurring problem.

    My ISP still hasn't fixed the same fucking issue I've been having for ages so I can't play WoW and watch Blizzcon at the same time, and I'm super fucking annoyed by this.

    My reaction is meh. Doesn't look too spectacular. I think it looks too fake in a lot of places, especially when you throw in the humans it looks especially bad. I don't think it looks horrible, just not amazing. But people are saying they are probably still working on the CG so we'll see in theaters next year!

    ICC > Cata I think was Dec 2009 > Dec 2010

    Siege was Sept 2013 > Nov 2014
