A video game with an expansion and prepatch a month away from releasing is a really weird place to try and cling to stability.
On topic. I would like adequate time to enjoy the prepatch- I’d rather them just delay the expansion or delay both. Obviously their act isn’t together.
You know that just means we’ll probably see the prelatch the following week, right?
Wow. One whole week.
The expansion itself likely isn’t going to change. At least, not without an official announcement.
Blizzard was famous for stating “done when it’s done.” in regards to release times. I’m thankful they are showing a return to form.
Just bored and have nothing to do now that BG3 was delayed to the 6th 
Now that deserves a riot.
I want to play it so badly.
I understand the reasoning though, they had a translation delay
Yeah, it’s fine. They only delayed it by like a week anyway.
That game is supposedly heckin’ huge too. The early access content alone should keep us busy for a good while.
I am not ok but the delay simply from the negative perception that would surround it, however I would really like it to be delayed simply so I can keep working on BFA stuff lol.
i just want the prepatch
they can delay shadowlands; you’d have to have almost no control of your faculties to think that shadowlands was going to be ready by the date they announced
You don’t know enough about me or my life to make that judgment.
Delaying both has my vote.
Also people who like the easiest spec to play too. BM is a boring spec but at least kids can have fun with it.
i’m sure if blizzard’s reputation can take another WC3 situation but it would be funny if it happened
He was just trying to win the “Azerite is RNG because mail users get screwed out of Ny’alotha Azerite that has all the best traits” and my chart proves him wrong, so he pivoted to “but they don’t enjoy it”.
Just so we’re clear on how far Wirt ran with those goalposts.
I think the DA actually wants to press Grand Theft Goalpost charges.
Lol you have no idea how laws work.
Also I’ve been saying this for the past week: If Blizzard hasn’t released the pre-patch on Tuesday, then you’re probably looking at a delay. At this point, there would really be no reason for them to delay putting it out if development on the game was done (which it should be, given how typical development timelines work).
I thought it was early access that was coming out, not the full game
It’s EA, but what’s being released in EA is supposedly longer than all of DoS2
The prepatch involves the level squish, which, if we take the mess on Khadgar realm as a sign of what could go horribly wrong, could break the game.
Is releasing pre-patch and delaying SL release not the obvious compromise? So what if pre-patch lasts an extra couple weeks, its not bfa right? And then, yes they can release more content as its ready like just leveling to 60 and pvp and dungeons and proffesions with an ap gaining mechanic without players having to lock in a choice just yet. Then release the full endgame package once its been through enough QA for release.
In the words of wise dev “A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad.”
Ah I see you don’t know how to lawyer.
It isn’t just about balancing the systems. It’s about the bug fixes, the lack of content in the Maw, ect. It’s un unfinished game.
No, it’ll be a 3 week prepatch and that’s that. There’s not even content for 3 weeks anyway.
Kinda like Brewfest : 1 day of content, 2 weeks of events.
