BlizzCon 2018 is almost here. Today I wanted to go over what I think will happen at BlizzCon 2018. There have been just a little bit of news regarding BlizzCon, not much yet but I think we will get more in the next couple of weeks. The schedule for BlizzCon has been released but not the floor plan. They have also announced some of the virtual goodies for Overwatch, WoW, HotS, and Hearthstone when you buy a BlizzCon ticket or a virtual ticket. They also haven't announced what the closing ceremony will be (it is usually some rock band). I think what will happen is that they will announce some updates on WoW classic, a new character for Overwatch, new character for HotS and the next expansion for Hearthstone. I am also really looking forward to the Overwatch World Cup this year.
But the most exciting news (probably) is going to be about Diablo. In the schedule right after the opening ceremony is the main Diablo panel. This usually means that something big will happen to the Diablo franchise. I don't think anyone knows what that will be but I think it will be a new Diablo game. There have been many job postings about a new Diablo game and there wasn't any news about Diablo in the last BlizzCon so this year might be right time to announce a new game. I don't think Diablo 3 will be getting a new expansion because there haven't been any updates for this game in a very long while. There is a slim possibility that there could be an expansion (maybe there might be a new class like the druid) but I don't think that will be the case. I am guessing that the next Diablo game will probably be another action role playing game (arpg) but I am also guessing that it could be a massive multiplayer online game (mmo) as well. I hope there will be a demo station for this new Diablo game at BlizzCon. I always try to play as many games when I am at BlizzCon because it is usually a once in a lifetime opportunity to try a new game or a new mode.
I am planning to go to Anaheim on a Tuesday so I will have plenty of time to explore California. The last time that I went to BlizzCon, I left on a Thursday and I didn't feel too good about it because I had to do so much on Thursday that I kind of felt a bit rushed. I am hoping by going a bit earlier that I will have plenty of time to rest and plan my schedule. I might go to a hockey game on Tuesday night, go maybe to Disneyland on Wednesday and get my badge on Thursday. As for Diablo 3 Season 15, I had a bit of a rocky start. I am playing the Wizard this season and I already died twice this season. My first death happened at level 20 something so it wasn't too bad. My next death was when I tried to do a greater rift 40. This one hurt a lot because I was levelling up my Gem of Ease but I wasn't able to get it to level 25 so I couldn't use it on a level 70 weapon yet. So levelling back up to level 70 took a while. Right now, I am doing okay. I have managed to reach greater rift 70 so my primals have unlocked (even though I haven't found one yet). I got all my pieces for the Tal Rasha set but I don't have any ancient gear. I am at paragon 500 or so but it is quite easy to level up fast so far. I am hoping by the season end that I will reach paragon 900 and be at greater rift 90 or higher.
