I totally wish I could of gone to this but work got in the way. BTW it's totally worth it to go to the book signing. Last year at blizzcon I had the opportunity to meet Christie Golden she is very personable and even gave me a rock pound after signing her latest book.

Anyone wanna poke the devs about the stepford-wife female pandas?
http://i49.tinypic.com/2urv383.jpg All females have the same expression under the markings while males have at least a few different expressions. The starred male examples are what we are looking for on the females, a little bit of a scruffy texture, scars and slightly different smiles. The males prove it can be done without messing with the base model which will prevent the deadly 'worgen effect'. Here is an example! http://i49.tinypic.com/s25fl2.jpg This only took me about 10 mins to do, I'm sure the artists with much more skill than myself could do better in the same amount of time.

@Malis: You need to realize that it is just Beta out. Stop complaining about obvious crap that will be finalized later on release.

@Fathermon:

So, when IS the right time to complain, after the Xpak has been released?

As long as the criticism is kept in a more or less supportive tone, any good developer will want the feedback.

Would've loved to attend to take a peek at the Art of Blizzard book. I hope you guys will include EVERY single bit of concept art you've created for your games, that would be fantastic. I'm especially interested in original StarCraft and Diablo art.

I wasn't gonna go to Comic-Con this year to avoid the twitards, but had I know say 6 months earlier when there was a slight chance of getting a ticket, I would have endured that stench to have a shot to see you guys and girls.

I agree with everything Blizzard does, I know they mean good by doing things to the game that others do not see eye to eye with but in the long run it all works out as it always has and Blizz does a great job with their work. But seriously Blizz? you post this Hours before the event as if we are able to scamble up the savings and time to go KNOWING we already know you all are not having BLIZZCON and we would love to just hear from you all this year! And a day before!? Thanks, I would have at least tried going but why would we read the Comic-con list of events without prior knoledge about you all being there.

I was going to go, but found out that the tickets are hard to get. You have to sit at your computer till they send you an email for proving it is you. That can take anywhere from a couple of hors to a couple of weeks. Then you might not even get your ticket because you have to show up to get it, and it could be sold out already. Would love to go though.
