The prepatch timeline is roughly four weeks before expansion launch. A release date similar to BFA would not surprise me.
Enjoy your time off!
Iām sorry Blizzard, i understand that your staff
will all be on Holidays soon so you guys can give us your full attention then. So by any chance can you guys at least give us the Allied races and New Death Knights now so we can advantage of the leveling boost ( Wowās Anniversary 15% Boost) now? ā¦ Pls

Iām just going to continue to play Classic. On my server the cities and world are full of people. Itās all very chill. Iāll just play and pass my time through the holidays until 8.3 comes out.
They never release a raid tear before the holiday but the 8.3 they could release before so we could get started on the new gear
They could have, but the likelihood that it would require a lot of hotfixes etc that couldnt be done due to short staff is a real thing.
Best just to wait until 2020.
Best just to wait until 2019.
It is 2019.
Also many just want the new allied races and heritage armor to be released. Raid can wait.
Good call, my bad!
Hahahahahahahaha. You know this isnāt the caseā¦ theyāre not launching 8.3 because they canāt do it without breaking something. I get that no one wants to work over the holidays, which I guess is the benefit of working for an indie game studio. Oh waitā¦ Indie game studios work over the holidays. Then maybe a corporate studio? Wait a secā¦ hmm. If only we had some kind of communication medium where they frequently shared updates. Oh. Wait a secondā¦ didnāt they say they were working on community engagement and communication? So what is Blizzard really doing?
The world may never know.
All snark aside, seriously, all it would take is a simple - hey folks - this is what weāre working on next. This is the feedback weāve read so far. This is an idea that we havenāt committed to but would love to do an RFC process. My goodnessā¦ anything would help.
