9.1 Prediction from MARCH was true

I’m not usually one to say I told you so.

Actually. Who am I kidding…

I TOLD YOU SO!!!

Not even a release date yet for 9.1?

But you all are sure that different teams are working on TBC/D2/Retail separately?

I told you so.

Yes, and I can’t imagine why you actually think they are the same teams.

I would if I didn’t manage to get myself suspended every other week. All because the mods fear my highest trust level powers :pensive:

Edit: Rhielle to the rescue.

From what I found on Google, D2 remastered is being handled by “Team 3” (which is for Diablo) and a company called Vicarious Visions.

Is that what the OP “told us?”

Edit: I got my threads confused. Thought I was replying to this one:

My favorite part is always, “OMG BC RELEASED FIRST ELEVENTYONE1111!!! But let’s ignore the fact that the old game that’s already been completely developed only needed tested to run smoothly on newer engine and didn’t need built from scratch! WE MUST BE OUTRAGED!!!”

Yes. Imagine you had 3 teams.

On team 1 you had 500 people.
On team 2 you had 50 people.
On team 3 you had 10 contractors.

Imagine if you would, an alternate universe where you were on team 1, and you and 85% of your team was moved to team 2 and 3…

Sure. Maybe there are other “teams”…

Just the Retail WoW team no longer has enough members in the team to do anything but maintenance mode…

Nah. That never happens on earth…

I’ve never once seen a company shift resources to focus on a single product for fast profit before, ever…

Usually when you say “I told you so,” you have something to back up your claims. So… where is that?

9.1 is likely coming in July if all bosses have been tested and all content is finished.

Sigh, it’s always a paladin.

Obligatory “source” question here.

Then…

  1. You don’t know much about companies
  2. You also don’t have proof this happened.

9.1 was benched for TBC. The title of the thread I linked. That’s what I told you so.

It happened. We don’t even have a release date for 9.1 yet rofl

If we look at 8.1, here is the timeline

Patch Announcement date - September 18, 2018
Release Date Set Announcement - Nov 2 2018
Release date -December 11, 2018

Less than 2 months from announcement to release date set announcement, 3 months from announcement, to full release…

Now let’s look at 9.1

Announcement date Feb 19th.
Release date Set Announcement (TBA)
Release Date (TBA)

It’s been 4 months and we still don’t even have a release date set yet… with 1 month from announcement to release, we are still at least a month away, when they do set a date…

In the time since they announce 9.1:
TBC beta announced
TBC beta happened
TBC beta finished
TBC release date set announcement
TBC release happened

D2R announcement
D2R beta announcement
D2R beta happened but not finished
D2R release date set announcement happened

WOW PTR announcement

All that in the time that 9.1 was just revealed… but no release date even set yet.

EVEN IF they set a release date tomorrow, the dev time for this first major content release after an expansion is still DOUBLE the previous expansion.

And you think they aren’t pulling resources from WoW retail teams to work on re released content…

Ok!!!

It’s a good thing nothing else has happened in the last year.5 to explain this except for BC classic.

/s, in case that isn’t abundantly clear.

Yeah I do think that because I don’t have any evidence to the contrary. :woman_shrugging:

Plus they said that a subsidiary company called Vicarious Visions was working on the D2 Remastered.

Or option C… they have no workers and hardly anybody with actual skill/talent left… much more likely given the quality of not only the last 4 something Xpacs but one or two of the pre-Legion ones as well…
