So, now that the AWC & MDIs are over, what are the chances that 10.2.6 comes out tomorrow? (Probably not) im thinking maybe even next week, this mainly due to the layout saying early March. We have 5 weeks this month. But this would apparently be laying out new talents for the next exp? Allowing us to play around, theorycraft before season 4 begins? What are your thoughts on the release window?

Considering that we have an 8 hour scheduled maintenance, I’m hoping for tomorrow. Aren’t we also at the 8 week (roughly) content thingy.

True, but i know theyre also doing quite a bit of class tuning tomorrow as well. Im very anxious for the next patch! Because im hoping the “surprise” is worth it.

Good point. I’m really looking forward to 2.6! It’s definitely a gamble to keep us in mystery but I’ll remain optimistic.
Hoping for some fun pirate mogs.

Unlikely. 
My bet is tomorrow. They don’t need 8 hours of maintenance for class tuning…and they can’t add anything to the game before releasing it or it’ll get datamined. So a long maintenance to add everything and make sure it “works” is the only way.

To be honest, I don’t really care. The content probably won’t last longer than a day anyway. I expect a 15-minute quest, including a mount and transmog as a reward, and that’s it.

1/ Likely does not start until the Hearthstone event is over.
2/ What if this is just the biggest April Fool’s joke ever?

A quick pirates vs ninjas mini-event, calling back to all the wild speculation before Blizzcon about the theme of the next expansion?

You do make a valid point there too, so speculating on saying it does happen tomorrow. That would put season 4 around id say early April, maybe the 1st or 2nd week?
Depends on how they handle the PTR. I think the average patch PTR is about 6 weeks, but with S4 being reused content it could either be 6 weeks or much shorter.
So mid-April to early May is probably a good guess.
Crazy thing is, season 3 lasted approximately 5 months give or take. That would put us at August for the ending of season 4 if it started in April. Id hate to see Blizzard rehash dragonflight dungeons for season 4 again. I’d rather see a mix up again, specially since we’re looking at a 5 month drought of possible new content other than fillers.
So they just doing 8 hour patch like maintenance tomorrow for no reason ?

Season 4 is gonna be a short season, war with in will be out around end of summer if you look at the map Blizz provided
Yes, it’s the IT Steve birthday and for fun they decided to use the server room for his party. Servers are to warm with all the people around dancing and such. So they need to turn them off for 8 hours.

I think it’s almost certain that 10.2.6 is going to be a let down. Blizz hyped it up as this big secret innovative thing, and there’s no way it will live up to that. They’re going to catch so much grief tomorrow whether the patch comes out or not.

I mean it is Blizzard lol. We havent had an 8 hour maintenance in a while, so therefore it is possible?
What u mean ? We just had one for10.2.5 patch
That was back in november though, most days have been rolling restarts or 1-2 hour maintenance is what i was meaning.
