BlizzCast Episode 2 Released

The second episode of the official Blizzard Podcast, BlizzCast, is now available! It begins with none other than our Vice President of Creative Development Chris Metzen who shares his thoughts and experiences on building the stories for our franchises. From the origin of Starcraft to the conceptual stage of continuing stories in Wrath of the Lich King and Starcraft II, we get to share with you his point of view on making some of the most epic stories we've ever had a chance to play.

We also got a chance to sit down with one of our raid designers, Geoff Goodman, to discuss the evolution of the raid dungeon encounter Magtheridon and the changes it will see in patch 2.4. Then thanks to the response from our players and fans we finish with a Q&A session that has information on Starcraft lore and World of Warcraft design changes.

Cool, I wish that they'd let us tanks be better in PvP though...

thetamer6318d ago

Totally agree with you Maticus

Leord6318d ago

Well, it seems like something they just draw the line for. I know the feeling though, as it feels "you" have been forgotten =(

Anyway, I am mainly interested in the lore and the way it has evolved from WarCraft II

Wouldn't mind some new info from the Blue Boys regarding paladins and thier relation to the Death Knights, what was once hailed as "The anti-paladin" in Warcraft 3 Alpha.

Finally some love for diablo 3, I completely agree with its placing! Very nice coop on the ps3 back in the day, but solo was a good grind as well, very enjoyable.

The only thing that irked me was buying the complete or ultimate edition or whatever and suddenly introducing a dlc that's not included.

Trash article. No way you should be listing the original as third beat.

Also Immortal should have been left off. It's a whale machine not a game.

Pergele71d ago

Diablo 3 > Diablo 2. I tried D2 after playing D3 many times and didn't like that nearly as much as 3.

anast71d ago

Diablo 2
Diablo 1

After this Diablo died.

Was aware the iconic Starcaft IP was jumping to South Korea ....

jznrpg78d ago

Weird MS is letting go of a good IP. I don’t mind it but hopefully the best dev wins and I’m not sure who that is outbid those.

Sonyslave378d ago (Edited 78d ago )

What they are bidding for are exclusive rights to develop the IP. Microsoft/blizzard is essentially licensing it out to the highest bidder, not selling the IP.

I wonder if we'll see Starcraft Ghost come out of this. And if we do, I wonder if it'll be a free-to-play gacha game.

goken78d ago (Edited 78d ago )

Given the potential developers, looks inevitable there will be free to play gacha versions. But given south korea’s love for starcraft there would be one that is inline with starcraft 1&2.
Might want to expect some sort of backdoor cheat that only south koreans know of lol 🤣

Profchaos78d ago

Nah that's long since dead and gone it's only good is a leaked Dev build
