 What's up, everybody says fan here and in case you guys hadn't already heard Blizzard just announced they just released the 2018 blizzcon schedule and I have it loaded up right up here and Let's be honest, you know, there's a lot of good things that you know, Blizzard does you know, that's fine but this is what we're all excited about and that is a this guy right here on November 3rd, so Saturday the second day of blizzcon they're going to be having a Creating wow classic panel from 530 to 615 here from the world of warcraft developers as they discussed their journey To recreate the classic wow experience. I would say the majority of people who watch my channel This is kind of the main thing that they're hyped up for the main thing that they'd be excited about is while classic We already knew this is gonna happen. Ian has a coach that said there's going to be a demo And there's going to be a dedicated panel for while classic having having the the panel isn't necessarily news In and of itself, but since I guess the the date and time and everything is set and official now I kind of wanted to share with you guys some kind of some footnotes some things that I expect to see at this panel what I would like to see I guess and We can go from there. Well first off, let's talk about this. We know we know that it's going to be on patch 1.12 They've talked about this before They they think that patch 1.12 is the most complete version of vanilla and it's the version that They think will represent or they think it'll be the best fit for while classic So we know that they might talk about that a little bit more, but we already know that I would like to see how they Treat the raid content and the itemization and I mean that in terms of progression The concept of progressive raid content It's pretty well received that that is the best way to approach the game if they were to release the game and to put Nax out right at the beginning. I think the game would just be straight-up dead on arrival I think and I don't think I really don't think they're going to do it, but I would just would like to see some confirmation I expect to see some confirmation of that something that I think it's very important, but not quite as important as Progressive raid content is progressive itemization I actually made a video about it in the past if you want to go back there and you want to check that out And there's certain items that you have early on in the early patches that get changed later on it Actually changes how you approach certain situations how you play your class and and really the I would say the difficulty of the things that you encounter in the game So I would like to see progressive itemization as well. Also It says hear from the world of Warcraft developers as they discuss their journey to recreate the classic WoW experience This leads me to believe that we're probably gonna get our first chance to officially meet the team I think that's something that's going to be really really cool to finally be able to put a face on On the people that are making this there's also kind of been like, you know There's been some some rumors kind of going around You know not to get too conspiratorial or anything Whether whether it was the leaks that anybody can go on the internet and post or the fact that you know tips tips did an interview with Nano from the Strout Nostalrius and he said that nobody has heard from Damon or Viper in about a year and a half Jay Allen Brack said in a Forbes interview that they would be willing to Kind of consult with them to kind of take on their expertise So I don't know not not to get too conspiratorial. We don't want to do that But but I think that'd be something in interesting to watch for as well the next thing that I would like to see are Plants for a beta period there is going to be a very small testing period for the week after blizzcon We already know about the demo. I think that we could possibly get a beta close to the end of the year Maybe even early next year. I think we're really not that far off from a beta period I'd be very excited about a wild classic beta. I might make another video about that The next thing that I would like to see is gameplay footage And more specifically, I want to see Some comparisons if they have higher resolution textures if they have higher resolution spell effects I actually want to see them and I want to judge for myself I want to judge my own eyes instead of my imagination running wild and like how could this be? How could that be? I think it'd be cool to if they are if they are gonna tighten up and increase the Resolution of these textures I don't know at least be able to see them and instead of just kind of hey, we're doing this or we're not doing I mean, I'd like to hear if they're doing this or not doing this, but I'd like to actually see it as well I'd also like to see how we'll actually access the game if it's going to be a part of the retail client Or if it's gonna be a separate button on the battle. Net launcher. I expect it to be a part of the retail client You know again, we talked about the Jay Allen Brack Forbes interview He has said that they don't necessarily want to worry about managing two MMOs at the same time Maybe what he was alluding to was that you you access the game through this and we also know in the Wow classic develop the developer water cooler that came out a few months back that They were going to strip down the original game And work backwards basically like reverse engineer the game to classic as opposed to try and like spaghetti code it together And make it work that way another thing I think a lot of people are Wondering about a subscription model. I hear it all the time on my streams Do I think it'll be the same subscription? Do I think it'll be a separate subscription? Do I think it'll be the same price or I think it'll be cheaper or whatever? I fully expect Blizzard to have one subscription that's shared between Classic and the live servers and especially if they're a part of the same client, right? This kind of this kind of goes back to that especially if they're part of the same client I do expect it to just be the one subscription. So you just you pay for wow you get wow I think that'd be cool. I think that's great. And from the Blizzard side of things They might see it as a way to get People who are mainly focused on live Wow to maybe try classic and people who are mainly focused on classic Wow To try out live Wow. So we'll see just from like a business standpoint. That's what I expect them to do I'd also like to hear about how many servers they plan on launching I think how many servers and the cap size of those servers kind of go hand-in-hand to kind of Give us an idea they might not tell us this because if they tell us this this Inadvertently gives us information about what their expectations are for how many people are going to play classic off-launch And they might not want to say maybe I don't entirely expect them to but I think that'd be something cool to hear from them and Also something that I've talked about for a really long time is the implementation of battle net I would really like to hear about how they're there want to do that because battle net is very different I know there's discord. I know there's there's different means things have happened over the years People people having a much easier time communicating outside of their Their their smaller network than they did in 2004 battle net is one of those things that's been implemented in the post that Could have adverse adverse effects in the game particularly on PvP servers and stuff like that as far as like Cross-faction collusion goes and just being able to right-click somebody the opposing opposing faction Like you can and retail wow and add them to your friends list I think stuff like that probably shouldn't be implemented But I would like to hear it from them and see kind of where they're at with that how they want to implement battle then Anyways guys, thanks for watching This will be my very first blizzcon that I'm going to myself Stay safe and tips are all getting to go together and we're incredibly incredibly excited Class class crew is gonna be there I'm sure we'll have a lot of stories to share with you guys and make sure to check out my streams on Twitch Follow me on Twitter as fan TV on every platform.
