Hoping they release the pre-patch soon so we can geek out and spend time leveling alts and what-not. It's even more important though that the full release is done properly and it sounds like they are behind schedule so a delay for the full release would be appreciated if it makes a better launch happen.
Hopefully they release pre patch and delay the expansion for another month at least. Balance is still nowhere near ready.
I am gonna guess the 12th with 2 weeks of pre-patchample time to do the content
Not yet blizzard, there's so much stuff you need to fix in beta before you release the pre-patch.
So, just wanted to weigh in with my input:I believe that Pre-patch will be the 6th. It makes sense because two events end there as well. I think pre-patch itself is ready (which is what I'm looking forward to most tbh. I'm waiting to make a void elf since I won't have to deal with rep grinds.)Shadowlands will not be delayed. It needs to be but this is Activision's Blizzard we're talking about. They'll rush it. Plus, last time an expansion was delayed, was BC. They even stated in an interview it will ship in the fall, even if they have to ship it from their homes.
Unlikely but if a delay does happen i hope they at least ship the collectors editions on time still so got something to look at :)
I don't think this is a Blizzard decision anymore. Activision-Blizzard has been taking an increased control of the company, and Blizzard constantly being behind schedule and over budget has drawn a lot of corporate ire. While I agree that them pushing Shadowlands before its obviously is ready is a bad move, it is probably out of their hands barring a natural disaster.
They won't push back the expansion. I'm sure Activision wants to get it out the door and in people's hands before the new consoles launch. Now is the best window they're going to have to get people re-invested in WoW for a while.Pre-patch probably won't be delayed past the 6th either. They're already cutting it close between then and release, which might be fine for another expansion but this one changes the game much more than a normal one would and they already seem way behind. Get it out now, make (more) players beta test, patch it live. That's the Blizzard way.EDIT: Hahahaha nevermind! Turns out not even Activision can force that big a $%^& down the toilet.
Once again, the cult casts for a dateAnd once again they will be correctRepent, heretics
A lot of people in the beta are saying it's not ready.
I play OceanicWe're technically part of the US region, which means alliance gets the 30% buff on our servers, despite the fact they are the majority. As a horde player on oceanic, playing solo on warmode is a death sentence, and alliance are getting 30% bonus rewards for the pleasure.Good to know Blizzard has no intention of fixing this issue that has been going on since 8.2 that I have tried to bring to their attention multiple times.^&*! this game man.
What time is it supposed to open on the 6th? Does it coincide with the US reset?
