Excelent report GearvOsh. Seems you had a big day in the life of Blizzard. Are you hoping to get a job with them?

If you don't know by now, on Monday I was invited to Blizzard HQ for a private press event to showcase us some major announcement. The event was supposed to be private but some site blabbed and the public found out and on top of that the information Blizzard wanted to showcase was not ready, so the event itself was postponed.


So... there is still some upcoming information to be released (which isnt/wont be beta) but that they are just awaiting a finished product or something? Do you have any idea what it might be? Any hints?

Will they call you guys back when they do get that material ready?

That should be awesome... the information we got today was a bit of a let down (nothing groundbreakingly new).

Hope you can clear some stuff up!

Team Liquid released a nice write up about the game build at the conference, and other details. One detail being that karune "stated" the game is workable, just that they do not have the infrastructure currently up to support the amount of beta players.

Gear says the event was initially to share some big announcement. This is not a big announcement. Therefore, i am wondering if they will invite him up again, or if they will even share it with us at all, preferring instead to wait for beta? I feel like it might have been a new build or something ("information Blizzard wanted to showcase was not ready"), and that they showed the fansites this as consolation or something...

Gear will have the best information avaliable, so im going to wait to see what he says and thinks.
I could just be reading more into his words than is actually the case...

I too was hoping for a big announcement, but based on what TL wrote up it appears that the conference did not have what we were hoping for. Though, I did like TL's point section on game balance. Not that I loved every word that was typed, but it was brief and orderly.

So you dont know when it is?

I have given up on beta before blizzcon, so im not too worried about that.

Do you have any idea what the new press event may be about?
