True. 8.2 showed more at blizzcon and came out what, 7 months later with a little over 2 month ptr.

Yeah donât rely on 3rd parties for information unless they link an official post, but in this case it does look like the information came from Blizzard.
Iâve been hoping for early June, but Iâll take mid June.
Castle Nathria is way too hard and long for a short 4 month entry tier like they did with EN and Uldir.
6 months is solid, and by extending the first tier to the more normal 6 months this âcouldâ decrease the end of expansion drought.

Do we have a blue post anywhere? I will not even consider the possibility w/o seeing one.
First comment to this thread I posted a link to stickied blue post.

My bad - took all the posts as âit will be released in two weeksâ not the PTR. Need to pay attention to the thread title

We could still get a John Hight .
" Sorry due to circumstances we will have to delay the 9.1 PTR until late Q2 2021 . We are truly sorry about this and hope to see you all in patch 9.1"

Late July/early August is still possible as a latest projection. Earliest would be June.
People predicting May are delusional.

They could, but I doubt they will. The backlash would be a bit much I think for them and doesnât seem to be in line with whatâs happening anyways.
yup, I think most people are saying 10 weeks for the PTR cycle.
I think if youâre in the 4-8 week camp you have to say that you agree the dev team is now fully caught up and is no longer behind. 4-8 weeks would imply they are moving at full speed or faster and at their efficiency rate can beat previous PTR cycles for this amount of content.
If youâre in the 10+ week camp you would agree they are still likely behind schedule to some degree. Depending on how long you think it will be depends on how far along you think the raid/dungeon/systems are feature complete.
Assuming 10 weeksâŚ
From Tuesday, April 13, 2021
Added 10 weeks
Normalized to 70 days
## Result: Tuesday, June 22, 2021

IDK, its hard to say honestly, as they definitely cannot rush it, or else it will be a whole other disaster. Yet they do need to push something out soon, before player interest dwindles.
June 22nd sounds like a good bet to me.
But I guess we will know how rough everything is when the PTR starts
I sorta feel sorry for them⌠This is it in a nut shell⌠If 9.1 sucks⌠Shadowlands will be written off by a lot of players⌠And for how long its taken to get actually content patch a lot of players have written of shadowlandsâŚ

Seems like a great opportunity for me to take a little break, then read the 9.1 patch notes in 2 weeks to get me excited to play againâŚhopefully.
People wrong? on the internet?! unpossible!
Late June! Just in time for summer!
man i hope the ptr isnt in shambles.
i still have money betted on august.
Hopefully itâs good butâŚa patch isnât going to save SL.
To be frank they are never right.
