Chris knows how to sell a three-part saga, man did they need him back bad.
No classic+ we want 60 more raids blizzard is bad
are you just going around every chris metzen video and commenting this?
My man didn't even need a prompt like the others lol he knows how to work a stage
"Don't you guys have phones?" - best marketing Blizzard could ever do after Metzen was out.
Chris still has that rockstar energy - almost 20 years later
the voice of chris makes this sound far more epic than it will be
His voice alone has injected more manliness in the next 3 expacs than the last 2 combined
his voice is my childhood, crazy cool
listening to him made my beard grow 3 cm longer
it will be the most epic part of the entire journey
All I could hear was varian 😅
chris getting a standing ovation was beautiful
Compare this to "Don't you have phones?" ... I feel more hopeful for the future of WoW than I have in years!
I hope the new storylines are good but even if they suck ass I'm fucking happy to see Metzen again lol
bro when i see him i get primal instinct like "WOOO YEAHHHH THATS MY LEADER"
Fr I dont even play WoW but his enthusiasm put a smile on my face.
Marketing. It's a wondering thing. For the company using it, at least.
@@fumiko___ fuck yeah, been out of WoW for a long time but man, this guy gets me hyped! Might even give the new expansions under his leadership a chance. For the horde! Lok'tar!
They can be the best ever but it still wont make modern wow gameplay good, sad for metzen cause you can see hes passionate about the story
This is the kind of stuff WoW has been missing. An *actual plan* forward for years in advance.
The Age of Mortals lasted 5 expansions, and with Mists, WoD, Legion, BFA, and Shadowlands. I would say it was truly an epic journey.
Yea instead of disjoined stories make a larger story.
Check thr pricing of the datadisk...the milking era has begun....
They're having this plan for a long time already, we just didn't know about it. Like.. that sword in Silithus been there for years.
Has WoW ever had a plan? They've always just been doing things they think is cool. That's why expansions have generally been stand alone stories.
Well a story over 3 expansions will hopefully be better and introduce memorable characters. Seems like an ok move to me.
Yeah seems like a hydalyn type of thing from ffxiv
Yes let’s add a dozen more characters to the story when we have 100’s to thousands of characters that haven’t been touched in years….
Just more blonde heroes we’re supposed feel sorry for.
A single overarching story over 3 sections is what Vanilla, TBC, and Wrath was.
Yes, but it would be unfair to hold it to the standards of the hydaelyn & zodiark saga. Ffxiv writers are phenomenal writers. Unless the wow lore team bring in a storytelling genius, they’ll never come near ffxiv’s storytelling
Anyone else notice Expac 1 takes place in the “old world” but part of Kalimdor (vanilla), then 2, Quel Thalas (TBC), then 3, Northrend (WotLK)? Js, reinvigorating the OG map and the first 2 expansions, kinda a smart move.
I doubt every zone gets a revamp though. Still, as long as there is a long term plan to reintroduce old zones, then hopefully they all get updated eventually.
Also the fact that the leaks said yearly expansions and they didn't say when these will release. Makes me worry these are just paid patches
Yep. Then they can spend more time on other shit within the game.
Chances are they will just add an entirely different instance of that zone, kinda like how you can still do the nelf starting zone even though it’s burned down. They won’t do anything cool
@kreenbopulusmichael7205 I certainly hope it’s a whole revamp, i do not Think there Will be 2 northrends, that is not a good approach. They Will know it Will add too much confusion and bloat.
The skill it takes to deliver a message with this passion and very little cues is quite incredible. We have missed this fella.
My time in WOW is over but if anyone could have sold me it is Chris Metzen
I’ve been out of the loop for years. This kinda got me to come back. I’m curious and I’ll try it out.
I smell 🧢
@@cmoney163like my friends that haven't played since TBC, some Wrath, some Cata, and so on. Many stopped playing after Korthia patch dropped.
I don't understand why WoW fans are so against accepting that many people actually have quit for good, maybe they don't want to believe others have the ability to quit because they themselves can't. But many do just that every year.
@@VAFrankywe can accept it. But then you ppl need to accept that people will come back but you don’t. It’s always “WoW is dead” “Wow is dying” “wow sucks.” Been hearing this same take since TBC
Plain and simple, Chris was the lead in the BEST expansions, we went through a "meh" stage...but now hes BACK
The "we ain't screwing around" line felt like a shot at someone.
The writers of bfa and sl.
They will drop the ball, if Ion and his team are near it you can almost be sure it's going to suck.
@@six000six They will... they will... Chris means well and he knows what people want... but I won't believe a word of what he's selling me until I see it.
Danuser and CO for sure.
@@six000sixwhy the fuck you watching this video with all that negativity? Get a life bro.
The pessimist in me says this wont be 3 expansion, but instead that they are about to begin charging retail prices to unlock major content patches that are trimmed to look like expansions
They're just gonna be smaller like DF. 10.2 if the final patch
Bingo
Charging separately for 11.1, 11.2 and 11.3 KEK and blizzdrones will lap it up and say THANK YOU BASED BLIZZGOD
probably true
That was my exact thought
Ahh so the Destiny treatment
The fact alone they announced this is over the course of 3 expansions is big.
Because it means they can take more time with fleshing out systems and also the overall story. Make it not feel rushed.
Still potential for every point in this story to get rushed, but if they've really adjusted to player feedback then maybe it will be good.
Deadlines. Not even from story side but also with gameplay team.
No it doesnt it means they sell 1 expansion for the price of 3
Lol all expansions are crap
i swear they were already doing that in some way
this is just letting us know which is still nice
Its so nice to have Metzen back...I missed him so much, the game has missed him so much.
The conspiracy in the third of those expansions will turn out to be that they're all characters in a videogame, and then they'll travel to the real world to fight Blizzard, ending with the creation of WoW 2.
Haha what
Lawlz!
I would really love that
this guy...bringing him back is huge for them
Whatever his flaws are, he's still the OG from Blizzard's early 90's. His presence was clearly missed.
Just like that gut
I haven’t played wow since Legion but seeing Chris is making me hyped again. He is really the soul of the WoW.
Don’t worry you didn’t lost anything
Same man I’m thinking about booting up right at the end of dragon flight so I can roll into this next expansion
He's the one who actually write the lore of Warcraft back in Warcraft 2 and 3, and WoW Vanilla, after that I can't find sources of what he has done narratively wise though. So maybe Blizzard just realized that they needed THE MAN, to make the story great again !
Am i the only one getting emotional seeing Metzen again; older, grayer and balder?
WoW might be still going after 20 years, but we are certainly not getting younger. That being said he's hardly extremely ancient, just barely reaching 50.
and fatter!
Not saying he's ancient, just saying he looks a lot older than when i last saw him :) ( 5+ years ago)@@masterexploder9668
Damn, he's still hot.
@@SunderMount 🏳🌈?
i saw you have 3 days early access to the expansion if you buy the 90 dollar edition lmao
absolutely hilarious
D4 Bad
@@WadaZable i didnt even know d4 did that lol
im just already imagining people laying out a route during beta and playing 72 hours straight during that period
I got choked up when Chris walked on stage! Glad that he's back.
Lmao choked up over a game dev walking on a stage
@@t9t9t9t9t9 Lmao though guy on the internetz.
You're not alone, my dude.
@@t9t9t9t9t9kek
My 🐔 got choked up.
Been waiting Fifteen years for Murlocs as playable race
Who wants to place a bet that instead of 1 expansion every 2-3 years with patches they’ll be pumping these out yearly to really make expansion sales
sign me up
@@HaskerHiemstra I’m not against it if the content and pacing of content is good. I’m optimistic at this point, but let’s be honest. Dragon flight is boring. Story is lame and it’s too bright/bubbly/cute. Mythic+ is boring and good luck on finding a mythic guild for raiding. Hopefully they change things in the next xpac.
I wouldn’t mind if they did tbh
I dont mind..
Vanilla always had vivid colours in their zones, same as legion and wrath. Not sure what youre referring to. Does everything in the game have to be some edgy teenagers wet dream with skulls and blood? Lol. Every expac had serious moments. Even mop @SargentD4
First thing that came to my mind is how big are the single expansions, and how much are they. This may be a ploy to get three times the sales for the same content one expansion had in the past. I dont play anymore, but that would be a blizzard/microsoft move XD I only follow for the lore now.
This is as exciting as when Mcdonald's started offering apples as an alternative to icecream and salad as a side dish.
What would have excited you?
@@MrDwightSchrute Beets?
@@MrDwightSchrute Good question. I guess I was just expecting something that didn't feel like more bloat in this house of toys. Feels like more of the same with a new coat of paint.
Where's my fcking chicken wraps!!!!!!
@@MrDwightSchrute Remember how in vanilla we were all over the world solving problems and becoming local heroes? Well, we haven't been back to that world in a while, right? Imagine if we did... Legendary hero travels through Azeroth solving crisis like we once did, Vanilla 2 or something. And while we're at it, make it in a new engine, WoW 2. Or something, there are N ways they could have done this without adding "new bad who was apparently just chilling through all this time and we never noticed"
The future of wow is basically the current state of wow. Milk it's corpse until the last drop.
Ah, yes - "the WoW is saved" moment. This time will surely be special! Guys, everyone go preorder!
Welcome to Retail 2!
Clipped too short, or maybe it's still coming.
They are finally answering Asmon's most pressing question: What about that damn sword?
Hollow Earth Theory confirmed
I have a feeling the titans are going to end up being bad guys.
So glad to see Chris back!!!!!!!!!
I have longed for his return, he created the best expansions and took a break (like we always need) but now hes back...and I cannot wait
I started playing back in 2005. Since then, I've played all the expansions except BFA. But for the last four expansions, I've only returned for three months at most. It's all the same old stuff, just repackaged. I don't want to waste my time anymore, so I'm kinda relieved to hear that three more expansions won't bring any major changes. It lets me steer clear of them and focus on life and other games :)
I would be pumped for a complete overhaul of Classic WoW, though. It doesn't have to be a 1:1 replica of Classic - I'm not on the same page as Asmon about that. I just want the game remade/remastered the right way.
So WoW: Midnight seems like the ending for that Legion Comic where Velen and Anduin were gearing up to fight the Shadow.
My fear is that the saga-expansionswill be shorter and they still cost for full price and will fell more like major patches than an expansion.
Might just be me, but thats sounds something blizzard would do...
The only thing that has me sceptical, is if this means shorter expansions. This sort of feel like part 1, 2 and 3 of one expansion, it's way too early to tell. But if they start selling us what would be one long expansion as 3 tiny expansion for 60 dollars each... Yeah, that aint gonna feel so good
Is there anywhere I can watch the full VOD of Asmon for Blizcon?
It all sounded better in his voice.
I swear to god I want this to be good so badly
Not gonna lie, the return of the Titan got me pumped up. I haven't played WoW in a decade. The opening sequence of the Algalon fight still gives me chills.
Same here i have stopped wow in 2012 but the last expansion seem tobbe cool "last titan" 😮😮
The Tail in Gundrak foretold the Return of the Titans, Chris told us oh so many years ago, and Medivh will be fucking them.
What did the guy from the audience shout out
Metzen will have a hard job ahead of him to catch up with FFXIV in terms of writing. At the very least, I hope that they follow their model: that each expansion will have a full story from the get go, with the patches merely making the junction between them, rather than a X.0 expansion that opens half-a-dozen threads and solves none by the time you are at max level.
different culture and types of rpg, asian vs western, hard to compare
Whatever anybody says this is something that they are trying! I’m all for them trying something actually new yet also doesn’t throw everything in the wayside I just hope they balance classes for pvp and metas better while still giving each class their own abilities
Imma need to see more than a few title cards to get hyped
The Last Titan, thats when Illidan makes is come back
It’s a war within yourself to decide whether or not to buy it 😂
Kotick out, Metzen back. Yes just completely rebuild original Blizzard and the company may have a glimmer of hope. Such a wild strategy it's so crazy it just might work who woulda thunk!? 🙄
My belief things will turn around still practically non existent.
Nice, good stories needs continuity launching a trilogy saga to get invested is nice sign
If WOW is finally going to be more story focused I might play something other than classic again. Trying to dip my toes back into retail and it’s rough lol
Finally seeing Chris Metzen return is like seeing your dad return from buying milk
you must have very miserable life,
WELCOME BACK SWEET PRINCE
Anyone caught what the man in the crowd yell?
Now they can delay a fix or change for 3x longer
Im happy for the story plan. Im exceited to see metzen back. But the gameplay loop and bloat also needed to be addressed to convince me to even try
That's very interesting, are these expansions going to last for 2 years as well? Or does it mean we'll get more frequent updates?
metzen said they're working on getting the "expansions" to us faster than we're used to, to me that sounds like less content aka big patches sold as full priced expansions probably 1 a year. not good, blizz getting even more greedy
I love how Metzen goes into the Thrall voice more and more as he speaks.
So the War Within is the name of the last expansion of Warframe, so interesting.
"When it comes to WoW storytelling, we ain't screwing around"
Buddy when you were in charge there were like, what, two or three major retcons of the entire history of the universe? That ship has sailed friend. 😂
Like if Legion wasn't a big retcon with plenty of nostalgia bait to fix Burning Crusade, where they turned Team Illidan into loot pinatas without giving too much thought to it.
I like the guy and can't deny his part in overall worldbuilding (including art style, going all the way back into 90's) and passion for the game, but Blizzard were never that great storytellers. Memorable places and characters, great cinematics, but overall plot is pretty ehhhh. Goes for other games too, like Starcraft 2. Even classics like Starcraft or Warcraft 3 couldn't always make sense.
instead of selling high quality products, these guys are selling low quality parts now
This is so like ElderScrolls: Online, underworld is like Blackreach, found in both The Reach, but also in Greymoor.
This expansion gives me The War Within vibes from Warframe.
Great to see Metzen back on stage, but I'm not optimistic for this at all.
The 3 expansion thing sounds like they are just going to cut one expansion down into 3 and just churn them out every year. If they had any balls they would/should culminate the story with Azeroth finally awakening, the planet explodes and she shepherds the surviving races to a newplanet for WoW2.
the way he presented it looks like thats the direction its going in.
He knows how to sell it at least, Blizzard seriously needs any scraps of good PR they can get, though they still continue to self-sabotage.
Metzen is still a legend, an OG from early 90's.
You wouldn't have been optimistic regardless what was shown
@@jackbower9087nothing was shown. He told you titles.
Honestly I think the expansions won't be cut short or anything but metzen instead made sure that the blizz suits understand that their recent stories are lacking and even if they have good writers one Expansion isn't quite enough to tell a solid and deep story. For me personally I think metzen took notes from FFXIVs storytelling which is a good thing and that one happened over many many expabsions. So yeah. Let's be carefully optimistic. Carefully.
so they're basically splitting up 1 expansion into 3 and probably ask for 3x the money. sounds good!
yeah and people will still eat this shit up, I don't know how many times people need to be tricked by blizzard to learn their lesson.
the tail in gundrak!
Can’t decide if this is exciting because they are actually planning the story out somewhat or if this is horrifying because Marvelitis has burned me out on knowing plans so far ahead
Also leaves less room for maneuvering if the first part is complete shit
Fingers crossed boys but I ain’t playing til it’s confirmed good again
Not even crossing my fingers anymore, I'm just watching Asmongold.
@@Emidretrauqein all honesty, that’s probably the best choice
Would have worked a lot better if I just watched Asmon instead of buying Diablo 4 😂
@@BriahnAznable Asmongold does occasionally make me consider it, but realistically there are enough great games out there for me to at the very least de-prioritize Blizzard games ad infinitum.
I may as well say I'm boycotting them at this point. Just because they're not the best.
@@Emidretrauqe that would be like boycotting every burger joint that doesn't have the best burger. You don't have to be the best to be good.
Yeap. Skipped on SL because I got fairly soon the impression it was shitty. And then tried just a few levels of Dragonflight and omfg in 25 days its Classic+.
Unless we get daddy Illidan back. This could.... change things.
Chris could be the perfect D&D Master! He is perfect to exciting listeners about his descriptions about things. He is very talented
Omg chris would be such a good supermarket cashier, im sure he would never forget to scan something and always be polite
with the release of cataclysm, does that mean lich king is going away or will they maek it seperate?
In the 3rd expax we uncover great conspiracy which is that Azeroth was Bobby's world all along and he never hated video games
Bro i will actually come back to see what's happening. I won't play dragonflight for now because i can't stand those goofy ass dragon twinks but the future ones on azeroth seem promising :D
Yeah idk why they had to make femboy dragons its so sad. The human forms all look like drag queens and you can't change it
@@bigpoopies789 Amen brother.
This is epic ASF! YESS I have waited years for a turn around, havent had fun sience Legion. But brothers and sisters of Azeroth, now is the time! I have no words for my exitement but this is gonna be AWSOME :)
Its a good idea to strech the Story out. You just cant have good villians when you have to introduce and kill them in one Expansion. This way you can have ups, downs and a conclusion and you will have time to get invested in it. They just don't have strong characters anymore from pre wow lore that they can dran from. It kinda has to be like this.
ANET pulled this with Icebrood and the reception backfired. Most of it was negative at the announcement. Let's hope the execution for WoW is better, and let's see if they cut corners to make a quick buck like ANET did or properly lengthen the series out so it feels like we want to waste our time exploring it.
They should give Chris Metzen all the power over the story because this, for once, actually sounds like a warcraft story. It's been a while since anything in WoW felt like warcraft, Chris knows how to do it. It might sound mean, but 50 year old women do not know how to do it.
Maybe we'll actually get some cool male characters again.
Yeah bring back some testosterone!
Maybe we will get a World of Warcraft again instead of a world of wokecraft
I mean, they have the OG here, they may try to st...errr... borrow creatively from other universes but only Chris knows how to cherry pick stuff. Can we get more stuff from WH40K Dark Imperium uncle Chris? "Isle of Dorn". What Dorn? Rogal Dorn? :D
@@Leunenkoenig I would gladly have a heavy focus on Thrall again over all this cringey girl power Sylvanas/Tyrande/Jaina/and so on nonsense stories wow has been filled with this last quarter of its life where all male characters have been reduced to mumbling idiotic good for nothings.
They already did, check his position in Blizzard
They've turned the game's content into being focused on their bad stories instead of about the game or the player's stories.
Good that we have inc AoC & Star Citizen + sooner than that - ArcheAge 2, which know what a basis for an MMO (+ MMORPG in the case of AoC/ArcheAge2) should be.
sweet, so I have to wait four expansions out
Final Fantasy 14 teased next expansions two years ago, in the game itself when a certain character made a few suggestions where player's character should go next. :D
You know, just saying.
Metzen is such a damn legend
Im so happy to just have a cohesive story line
He meant: "We're not screwing around(anymore)".
Titans return to Azeroth? Does that mean Illidan gonna be back with Sargeras on a chain leash ????
This is a good idea
It allows them to write more detailed stories and give a new feel to WoW overall
Yeah paid patches good idea 👍
And make you pay 3 times for it.
Awesome!
3 epic editions coming right up!
Surely this time will be different!!! :DDD
cool but if the gameplay still consists of only dungeons + raids without anything else to do, then the game will still be shit
One cinematic and a whoooole lot of words
That's crazy 3 expansions in row
Haven't seen a Blizzard man on stage with so much passion in years.
wow
Anybody know what the guy in the crowd shouted at the end?
"... and you can pre-order them all NOW" :D
The first expansion sounds cool... the other two sound like rehashs.... best announcement though was that you only have to grind stuff on ONE character... FINALLY!
Honestly Metzen hyped me more for WoW with this speech than anyone ever did in the past like 10 6 years at least
It's funny how Asmon does the NPC idle noises while watching this, such as ... "What the fuck?", "Oh, shit"
So....my question is, with all the version of the game now live....is it worth it to play the original/retail as a new player. I so want to do that, been wanting for a while, but everyone shits on the game. I am confused.
Imagine retire when your 40 then start working again when your 50 😅
Metzen showing those corporate goons how it's done.
Has there been any update on the potential for trolls to be included as a playable race for demon hunters?
I heard "You won't pay once but thrice!" but I still hope for the best
Metzen returns and the through the voice of Thrall he shows just how ambitious the wow team is, and it's extremely impressive.
"War within" shows a lot of promise, though I am no fan of the new race we can play as nor am I too stoked to not see any level cap announcements.
"Midnight"... a return to Quel'Thalas is long overdue, but the whole phrasing of returning to old Azeroth and uniting the elven tribes in defence of the sunwell against the void gives me vibes of time travelling, which is unnerving, despite speaking about the shadow being banished forever... I'm just worried. But lots of Blood elves, NIght borne and nightelves sounds good, though it appears obvious they'll all be forced to play second fiddle to the void elves. There's also a miniscule chance that Naga are considered part of the elves and can bring us a truckload of new zones around quel'thalas, reefs, islands and maybe ancient highborne cities (who am I kidding, of course it'll be there!).
"The Last Titan": An ancient conspiracy has been teased for several expansions now, ever since it was explained that the chronicles were from a titan perspective instead of being the definitive history of the universe. I just hope our return to Northrend lets us see a change to the entire continent and lets us see just how crazy the continent can be if it's not the Lich king running the show.
The voice of Chris makes this sound far more epic than it will be.
Just like life, epic cinematic trailer, hype rising to the skies and then you just do mundane daily tasks over and over again between getting wiped.
3x times expansions means 3x bigger shops. Final last milking before going into WoW2?
I hope Amani will be the new AR in Nightmare.
Hey they added War back in the title lets gooo lol
Metzen just hyped this shit up. You can say whatever you want, but this living legend just did a good job on the stage.
