Diablo
Diablo is handled a bit differently this year; there's no demo area and only one panel (Blood and Treasure, 3:30-4:30pm Friday). While this likely means no big announcements like an expansion, the Diablo team has the creative
Slaughtered Calf Inn
.
This themed area, decorated to look like the in-game Act I inn, can be found in the Darkmoon Faire area in Hall A.
A full schedule of talks was not provided, but several developers are stopping by:
Want to hear John Yang chat about item design or Alex Sulman share an inside look at what makes a Treasure Goblin tick? We’ll have a full schedule of talks at the show or just swing by and enjoy some live music in between each short presentation!
Darkmoon Faire
Community Ampitheater
The Darkmoon Faire has a Community Amphitheatre where players can meet developers, community members, and streamers. It's also the location for the Engineering Panel, a panel that the community became very excited about after Blizzard staff tweeted about it.
There are also two WoW talks scheduled. These will not be available on the Virtual Ticket:
Friday, November 6, 2:45 p.m.
Scott Johnson, host of
The Instance Podcast
, will be kicking off casual conversation with lead narrative designer Dave Kosak and lead quest designer Craig Amai about how the rich fantasy of the Warcraft universe informs their design approach to Legion, from quest flow to artifact weapons and beyond. Additional WoW designers will be on-hand and anxious to join the discussion!
Featured Guests
: Lead Narrative Designer Dave Kosak & Lead Quest Designer Craig Amai
Moderator
: Scott Johnson, The Instance Podcast Host
Special Guests
: Designers Helen Cheng, Steven Danuser, Paul Kubit, Steve Burke, Jeremy Feasel, Juan Custer, & more
Saturday, November 7, 2:30 p.m.
Following up on the Legion game systems panel Saturday afternoon, lead class designer Kris Zierhut and other members of the class/systems teams will be in the area to talk further with you about their presentation. If you plan on attending the main stage Q&A panel at this time, we still recommend you come by afterward equipped with your questions for the developers!
Featured Guest
: Lead Class Designer Kris Zierhut
Special Guests
: Designers Jonathan LeCraft, Russell Petersen, Jay Gill, Zachariah Owens, & more
Pin Trading
Pin trading is a fun activity where players collect pins at Blizzard events and then swap them for missing ones. Some pins are very difficult to get, so people display the ones they have on a lanyard and hope they can make an exchange.
Players can purchase Season 2 blind packs from the BlizzCon shop, as well as a special Collector's Edition Alexstrasza only available from the Pin Trading booth.
The BlizzCon 2015 Pin Trading Booth is located in the Darkmoon Faire section of Hall A. Here are the official rules:
Players can make up to two trades each time they approach the board.
Trades are one pin for one pin, and a gold pin can only be traded for another gold pin.
This year the board will only be available for trading Series 1 & 2 Blizzard Collectible Pins.
Players can also trade pins with special Community Members who will be wearing lanyards filled with pins:
Trades are one pin for one pin, and a gold pin can only be traded for another gold pin.
They will only accept Series 1 & 2 Blizzard Collectible Pins as trades for their pins.
Below are the shirts the Community Members will be wearing:
Blizzard pins will also be making a special appearance at the Wowhead party in addition to BlizzCon proper! We'll be giving away Season 2 pins and Cute but Deadly lanyards, have the full Season 2 set on display, and you may even catch some hard-to-find Season 1 packs at the event.
Learn more with our
Blizzard Pin Trading Guide
.
Toys
The Darkmoon Faire is home to
Adopt-A-Pet
and the
Capsule Toy Machine
.
At Adopt-A-Pet, you can pick up a Blizzard Shop plushie. No word on how many plushies will be available, but
here is a complete list of plushies from the Shop
.
As in past years, players can try for a
Capsule Toy
and trade with other collectors for the characters they like.
Blizzard Shop
The Blizzard Shop sells all the
BlizzCon Gear Shop Items
any Virtual Ticket-holder can purchase. For every $100 you spend, you get a gold Murky pin.
Usually, new Blizzard merchandise is revealed at BlizzCon, so expect a few more items on Thursday, November 5th.
Learn more about new items with our
BlizzCon Merchandise Blog
.
Contests
There are
four contests
at BlizzCon 2015: Movie, Original Art, Talent, and Costume.
The Contests take place on the Main Stage, 6-8:30pm Friday, and are hosted by Wil Wheaton. You can also find cosplayers walking around the convention during the day - ask before taking a picture or touching their costumes.
The Costume Contest has the most interesting Grand Prize - $3500 or $2500 and an in-game tribute. Past tributes have included

The Blizzard recruiting booth, located between Halls B and C, lets you talk one-on-one with Blizzard recruiters. They can't accept resumes, but they will answer your questions and offer advice on job openings, best practices, and hiring process.
