Dreams do come true at Blizzcon, and sometimes nightmares too. Following the unbelievable landslide of announcements at the Blizzcon 2019 Opening Ceremony today , attendees had an opportunity to go one-on-one with every single title announced. Obviously, we started with Diablo 4 .

BlizzCon 2019 is a mere three weeks away, and while diehard fans of the event should be preparing for a celebration of their favorite games like [[https://Diablo4Zone.com/ Diablo 4 Walkthrough|Https://Diablo4Zone.Com/]] , World of Warcraft , Overwatch , Hearthstone , and Starcraft , a recent string of controversies looms over the event. #BoycottBlizzard is going strong on Twitter thanks for Blizzard’s controversial decision to ban a player who made a pro-Hong Kong statement, and at this point, fans are wondering if there is anything that can save Blizz

It's beginning to look like the much-anticipated Diablo 4 _ will almost assuredly be announced during BlizzCon 2019. With all of the recent problems and fan disgust Blizzard has been faced with ever since the company decided to ban a _Hearthstone player for protesting the Chinese government's treatment of Hong Kong, the upcoming BlizzCon celebrations have had something of a muted anticipation cycle when compared to past years, and Blizzard's continued censorship of Twitch viewers has done little to get them back in player's good gra

This second part may simply the animation of a special attack, of part of the new arsenal system. During the Diablo 4 panel following the game reveal, this was described to allow the Barbarian class to equip four weapons at a time and easily move between them. This is by far the most interesting part of the gameplay reveal, as it brings up so many questions about potential shifts in class design and how players will be able to customize their individual ski

In the days since Ng Wai Chung, known in the Hearthstone esports community as Blitzchung, made the statement supporting Hong Kong, Blizzard has faced scrutiny from players around the world, media outlets, and American politicians. With so much negative attention on the company right now, it would take a miracle to turn around public perception of their acti

The question now is whether Blizzard will be looking to innovate on pet builds from Diablo 3 , where the Necromancer and Witch Doctor often had swarms of minions fighting in the form of skeletons, fetishes, and more. Perhaps a pet-heavy Druid will be similar to the Demon Hunter’s 6-piece Marauder set instead, where various companions are present on screen, but they serve to buff the nephalem and provide active bonuses on skill use rather than be an imposing force themsel

Blizzard canceled Overwatch's launch event on the Nintendo Switch amid the swarm of controversy which still surrounds the company, but BlizzCon is too big an event to shut down at the last minute without sparking even more vitriol from fans. With less than two weeks away from the annual convention and tensions still high, the company needs a highly anticipated title like **Diablo 4 ** in order to get people back on their side, and when the game finally is released hopefully it won't be ruined by Activision /Blizzard's need for Auction Houses and other extraneous ways to make extra money from play

There is also the possibility of other announcements, but nothing would be quite as large in scale. Another World of Warcraft or Hearthstone expansion may be revealed, or a new Overwatch character, but those are all par for the course and expected announcements either at BlizzCon or shortly af

Regardless of what is presented, there is always the possibility of being overshadowed by protests within the event, or like last year, an unscripted question from the audience calling out Blizzard for their odd choices over the last few years. Blizzard might also be faced with a hefty challenge of managing attendees who show up in full protestor gear or spam the livestream chat with pro-Hong Kong messages as people have speculated they might. Given how badly the questions were in 2018, there is unlikely to be any open question and answer period this time aro

Torchlight II is being released at a budget price of twenty dollars, which is a bargain for the sheer amount of content that is on offer. The fact that it's competing on systems that already have improved versions of Diablo III that feature all of its DLC and seasonal events might put a dampener on Torchlight II 's chances of finding an audience on new systems, as it doesn't have quite as much to offer in terms of content. If the player is looking for a fun action RPG that can be enjoyed with friends, then they can't go far wrong with Torchlight II, especially if they aren't fond of the grimdark setting of the series that inspired
