BlizzCon 2023 Recap
BlizzCon 2023 is in the books! Blizzard Entertainment outdid themselves with a slew of exciting updates for all their top-tier games. Here’s the rundown:
World of Warcraft (WoW) has some amazing stuff on the horizon. Fall 2024 will bring The War Within, plunging us into Azeroth’s hidden depths. Picture exploring the realms of the Earthen and Nerubians, all while the Sword of Sargeras saga unfolds. They’re even adding cool new features, like account-wide reputations and Delves, tailored for small groups.
Then there’s World of Warcraft Midnight. It’s a nostalgic journey back to the Old World, specifically Quel’Thalas, with an epic confrontation against the Old Gods on the cards.
And get this: The Last Titan. The grand finale of the World Soul saga is set against the frosty backdrop of Northrend. It’s centered around Ulduar, with Titans making a grand return to Azeroth, promising to spill some long-hidden secrets of Azeroth’s past.
For WoW Classic enthusiasts, Cataclysm is coming early next year. It’s shaking things up with new hybrid class combos and an exciting raid.
Don’t forget The World Soul Saga. It’s a massive storyline stretching over multiple expansions, promising faster content delivery.
Diablo IV fans, you’re in for a treat. The Vessel of Hatred Expansion, slated for 2024, continues the saga, throwing us into the jungles of Nahantu and the sinister plans of Mephisto. Plus, there’s a brand-new class waiting in the wings.
Over in Overwatch 2, meet Mauga, the latest tank hero. Season 8 will let players try him out, alongside a new PvP mode named “Clash”. This mode brings the action to Hanaoka, inspired by the classic Hanamura map.
As for the event itself, BlizzCon 2023 made a triumphant return to the Anaheim Convention Center. It was the first in-person event since 2019, offering an unforgettable experience for attendees and online viewers alike.
The finale was a blast, with a performance by South Korean girl group Le Sserafim. It coincided with an Overwatch 2 event, featuring snazzy new skins and a special capture-the-flag mode.
All in all, this year’s BlizzCon reignited the passion in the Blizzard community. With these thrilling announcements and updates, it catered to both the die-hard fans and those just getting started in the Blizzard universe.
WoW Tokk – Dragonflight Addons and UI
Hey, did you know that World of Warcraft has a new expansion? They do! It’s called Dragonflight, and as you might suspect, it is all about Dragons! A flight of dragons, you might say!
Editor’s Note – This has no relation to the 1982 animated classic The Flight of Dragons starring none other than James Earl Jones and the late John Ritter. Damn, that was a great movie and amazing cast.
Over the past few months, you may have noticed that I have not posted much along the lines of World of Warcraft content. That’s because I let my subscription lapse just before Dragonflight was released in November (Nov 28, 2022). Great timing, right? I had been playing just to earn enough gold to purchase additional months of subscriptions, but my mojo fell off a steep cliff. I had to decide where to put my spare time – World of Warcraft or the Pathfinder RPG. As you can tell from my posts, the TTRPG beat the MMORPG.
However, I have not gone to scorched earth with WoW. Despite not having an active account, I continued to ensure my addons were up to date just in case I got the itch to start playing again. As luck would have it, the WoW PVP and real-live swolverine, Bajheera posted his preferred addons and UI setup for Dragonflight 10.0. I’ve followed his guidelines in the past (both for World of Warcraft and fitness/workouts), so when I saw his video, I knew I had to check it out.
Not gonna lie – this may have been the motivation I needed to resub and try out the new expansion. He won’t see this, but just in case… thanks, Boss.
Enjoy his video!
