INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
I have to admit that I wasn't really paying attention to Blizzcon 2019
anything.Seeing Sylvanas walk up to Icecrown and show Bolvar what was what was incredible enough
But, there was a moment after she pulled the helmet from his head that I could have sworn she was going to put it on and become the Lich
Queen everyone (ok maybe not everyone) knew she would
But, instead she just rips the helmet in half? She can do that?!It's no secret that there's a bit of animosity going on in the WoW community
ever since Battle For Azeroth launched back in August 2018: the story took a decidedly unpopular turn, and there were a ton of gameplay

specific when it comes to the specifics, but it has painted a pretty clear picture of some of the big features coming to the game in a blog
And, while I desperately want it to change the global cooldown (GCD) back to where it was before Battle for Azeroth, some of these features
Basically, it's this multi-leveled tower that you'll be able to fight through
I'll be able to do this by myself, or with a couple of friends, rather than having to carve time out of my busy schedule for raiding
difficult-to-survive zone ever implemented in the game
Word on the street is that there will be no innkeepers, with little to no NPCs, and the more you interact with this zone, the more monsters
you kill, the harder it will be to survive
Could this be the Dark Souls of World of Warcraft?Now, the next expansion is pretty far out, so it's obviously a little too early to say
whether or not Shadowlands is going to be the return to form that I'm desperately craving

about that technologyNow, I've heard that ray tracingmay be coming to World of Warcraft with Shadowlands, and I don't even know how to feel
Warcraft isn't really about having the prettiest graphics
It's a game for the people, so making the game more inaccessible to folks that don't have the cash to shell out for an RTX 2060 Super kind
implementing new technology seems to raise the barrier of entry at least a little bit
That's due in large part to the amazing work the team has done in keeping the game updated over the years, and the recent launch of WoW
potential to be the most exciting PC game release of 2020, at least for me
There will be bigger blockbuster titles, obviously, but I'll never not get excited for a potential return to form for this venerated MMO, no
