2 days left till official release

Oh right, Im not allowed to think for myself. If blizzard is saying it isnt launch then it definitely isnt launch. Nope, people are definitely not playing the story or completing content or have big events or anything.Nope, its 100% just early access, not launch of the expansion!

Yeah, there were a lot of people who “thought for themselves” and told Tolkien what the theme of Lord of the Rings was too.

Most of us ignored those people.

On that note; I’m almost level 79, so I’ll leave all of you lovely people to this riveting discussion. You know; Things to do and all.

I’ll channel Dwight Schrute for a moment.

A release candidate (RC ), also known as gamma testing or “going silver”, is a beta version with the potential to be a stable product, which is ready to release unless significant bugs emerge. In this stage of product stabilization, all product features have been designed, coded, and tested through one or more beta cycles with no known showstopper-class bugs. A release is called code complete when the development team agrees that no entirely new source code will be added to this release. There could still be source code changes to fix defects, changes to documentation and data files, and peripheral code for test cases or utilities. Beta testers, if privately selected, will often be credited for using the release candidate as though it were a finished product. Beta testing is conducted in a client’s or customer’s location and to test the software from a user’s perspective.

This is now the gamma of TWW, as the actual beta had passed.

So the rest of us appreciate the contribution of our gamma testers. Edit: So probably around February-March-ish 2025 is when the real TWW would launch, eh?

Taking advantage of what exactly? Please elaborate on this.

of people’s wallets. Just because someone can pay for something, doesn’t mean they should.

they released EA right before the weekend. Don’t you see how manipulative this is?

If you look around, very few people bought the epic for ea, they were already going to buy it. And historically it’s been a very popular version

How exactly is this all manipulative or taking advantage for people’s wallets. It has been known for quite a long time, early access was available with the purchase of the epic edition. Dates weren’t announced until about a couple months ago. Plus, you do not know how someone has gotten the epic edition, or the reason they got it.
