Blizzard has been very open about the patch timeline since DF launch, they have a nice infograph.

That makes it super awkward when people try to assume outside of it.

23

If true it works for me, I’ve found this xpac like most people to be pretty meh in most cases honestly.

Hopefully it’s optional, this time, and we can still do the raids as they are now.

It’s why there’s the phrase content pipeline.

if it follows the fated, you’ll be able to do the current raids outside of the “s4 week raid” or something like that.

27

By the end, everything was fated and the original versions of the raid were no longer available.

Which sucked.

I think it’s a great expansion! I just think it’s thematically grating. I’m ready to move past dragons and sunshine it feels like Disney.

Not how that works.

Things are in various stages of finish or work. They are pipelined so things are worked on in parallel and by the time they reach close to their due date is when they’re supposed to be ready.

One of the side effects of the patches this year coming out prematurely has been the various bugs and downtime and exploits I’m sure people have noticed. Things are always in a state of flux when in the pipeline so they still have to properly cook the whole way through.

11.0 is playable though, how else are they going to show off 11.0 at blizzcon? if there is nothing to show

Hello, I see you replied to the thread. There’s tons of people on the forums who claimed that the AotC mount and silence on 10.3 meant nothing, hahaha! Have a wonderful day!

The alpha is around the corner it’s more than playable.

33

Limited demo != let everyone into the sandbox and play every quest chain.

Go check the original iphone 2007 presentation by steve jobs, it’s the pinnacle of scripted demo of a product that wasn’t even really functional at the time, but they got the demo to work.

It would be less confusing (to me anyway) if they didn’t title the infograph “2023 Roadmap” if it was meant for the entire expansion. It’s fine 10.2 is the last major patch of this calendar year, it matches their infograph. I expected a 2024 roadmap to include another major patch and then transition into 11.0 over the remainder of that calendar year.

I guess I’ll look forward to 10.2.5 or 10.2.7 or whatever in Spring 2024.

35

im not talkin about a demo though, the devs can fully play the 11.0 content and test it

36

They had the capability to publish beyond that. They chose to not, even with further updates to the infograph after 10.1.

Alpha state as others have said. Which takes a lot of work to get into a good state. Definition of playable I guess depends on how willing you are to deal with broken stuff.

37

You’re arguing semantics, the expansion is approaching a playable and content complete state.

38

Dragonflight should break the mold and give us 4+ raid tiers and story/content.

39

I’m basing it off 10.0 launch buginess the week of launch.

Ok. That doesn’t change what I said. You’re just nitpicking comments and trying to create some kind of opinion debate based on word useage. Of course Blizzard is doing Blizzard and working years ahead, and the expansion is nearly in a state for the public to test.
