Adventures of a Dwarf Priest

Well Blizzcon 2009 is over and what a Blizzcon it was!  I really wish Inien and I had got tickets.  I’m told bummed over all the exclusives they had their this year they never did anything like that the previous 3 years.  The feed wasn’t too bad, we watched it on high and it buffered every once in a while.  The most annoying thing was them cutting off the feed for the contests.  If you followed my twittering though it was all pretty exciting.

The new expansion was as rumored and then some.  I’m very excited about some of the new ways to customize your characters even more.  The reforging and path of the titans is sounding awesome.  They also mentioned my Dwarf treasure finding skill will become useful again in the expansion.  Chests will make a return!  The redesign of the entire new world shows Blizzard has some major dedication.  I have been playing MMO’s my entire life and I have never seen one add as much free content as Blizzard, nor advance the game and the story as they do.  A lot of whining on the forums about the new race/class combos (booowhooo)  but I think the majority of the people will welcome it.  The new races will bring another unique flavor to the world.  The revamp of the talent system and the inclusion of the new mastery stat and condensing of some other stats is HUGE.  I can’t believe they are taking on that along with having rebuilt the entire old world.

We still have a big event to end up the current expansion which is just as exciting!  They went over a little bit of what will be in 3.3 and man it is a doosy!  I can’t believe they are adding in 3 more 5 man dungeons as part of the event along with the raid dungeon.  As many of you know the 5 man dungeons are certainly my favorite.   It sounds like Arthas will be killed and then something about what is going on in Northrend (we are distracted) allows the cataclysm to occur.  Then the whole thing about Thrall wasn’t revealed but that basically he is powerful shaman and the world is being torn apart and we should put two and two together.

Inien and I would have rather been there but we enjoyed the stream.  Hopefully next year we can get tickets!  I wish they would hold it in San Diego for more space
