Old timers like me remember when 24-hour Maintenace was a thing. And so does Pepperidge Farm

Its because there isnt anything new accept the arena which has a small player base due to the crap pvp gearing system that still aint fixed.
Its all that infrastructure for cross faction. And I am guessing its going to be a mess.

Wait, I thought it was a new arena… that’s a pretty big difference. And we all know PvP players don’t get nice new content like BGs.

thats because there is zero new content until dragonflight launch in 2023 another year with zero new content.
Sure, we can live without WoW for a few hours… but what kind of life is that? I’m wasting away here Malgorok!

They always overestimate the downtime these days because when they go up earlier than the estimated time, it looks good for them even if it is transparent.
But long downtime to implement a feature that reverses something that has been in the game since day one(faction conflict)? Sounds normal.

I would guess setting up the cross faction bit would be involved.
Keep in mind I am no programer, so all of these things seem daunting to me.
This too! If they say 1 hour and it takes 2 people get PISSED!!! But if they say 6 and it takes 3 you’re happier somehow even tough it took longer

It’s the new allied race that is taking so much time.
I would much rather they take their time in making sure things go right then to have them rush this only to log in and have the game crash and be offline say for a day or two like it was way back.
Yes, but “like it was way back” there was always so much more content…
Correct, it’s an arena and not a bg
Nothing special

Do you honestly not fathom just how huge cross faction grouping is? The level of changes needing on both the front and back end of the game to implement that? I mean good grief it’s probably a much larger deal than literally 9.2 or 9.1.

Do you always put “s” on the end of random words that don’t warrant it
Indeeds. Thanks yous fors thes advices.
It’s really not anything new for content. People who choose to not engage in cross faction will notice a few things. All Torghast wings open…that existed before.
And honestly I don’t think there is much more. The new arena is meh and no on does arena. The new M+ season isn’t for a month or 2. The renown thing is now good til 60 so thats something.
This is called project management 101.

It seems to contain more content than most .5 patches. Normally, they only have QOL enhancements and very little to no added content.
I mean I’m playing TBC classic and the game has been dead outside of raid night for the entire time past the first 2 months.
Maybe you can help me find the mythical content it had.
