10.2.6 speculations

It came out in Jan 16th

Wait i am thinking of something else. Youre right, sorry. So that was the gilneas questline?

Yea that was that patch

What ever it is, it will never live up to the speculative hype the player base loves to inflict on itself and will inevitably result in a slew of forum threads about how much is “sucks”

Sad but true! Im getting hyped up enough already lol.

Agreed. Class tunings reported to take place tomorrow don’t seem to be that heavy.

I’m about 60/40 that tomorrows maintenance is like an internal “fix the servers and do back ground things” sort of deal but I guess we’ll find out.

Are we getting pirate stuff? What is the content supposed to be again?

No one knows but the blizzard peoples and theyre not playing nice and sharing lol.

This is the problem that Blizzard faces.

There’s websites like this: https://wago.tools/ that are directly hooked into Blizzards CDN which is where you download your game files with the client.

Every time there’s a hotfix, patch update, etc. this website immediately scrapes every little change within seconds. Unless the data is encrypted… WoWhead is going to know everything in the patch within 5 minutes and make an article. Then you also have the public PTRs where you can literally just log on and test all the upcoming content in advance.

Back in the old days of WoW before PTRs and datamining was a thing: you really didn’t know what was coming in a new patch. It was always a surprise.

Maintenance tomorrow is most likely just them doing the prework and setting things up for the event to go live on the 19th.

Hearthstone event starts today until 11am on the 18th. They also didn’t publicly test 10.2.6 so launching it the same day as 8hr maintenance is leaving them open to a whole lot of bad press and angry customers when the servers aren’t stable and the event is buggy as hell after the servers being down all day.

They’re also dropping Season 4 news tomorrow, so they have that and the Hearthstone event to tide us over.

Safe bet is the 19th for 10.2.6.

You expect a mount and transmog? Ha! I’m keeping my expectations low, to a free hat that only works the day-of the event. :stuck_out_tongue:

blizzard expressly stated that 10.2.6 would be released on march 19th…

I predict some junk i wont care about. Perhaps a new mysterious map icon like that dragon thing, or the dream thing.

Ok, the patch has been live for about 30 min. que time was short. BUT, this is a MAJOR disappointment. NONE of my movement keys are working correctly. I use AWSD and when I put forward my toon moves right, backwards goes forward, etc. I’m not a pvp’r at all and I only tried this. I don’t like it and will MISS OUT on the pet/mount/tmogs. Bad design blizzard. I can’t believe you people put a new game into WOW. Will you people never learn from your past mistakes?

So, this will be an AKF moment completely. I’m not going to test out your crap
