Very glad you guys are delaying it. It needs to be polished direly and refined.

Please consider separating covenant abilities and putting them onto a talent row. This is the only thing that is a great worry and could lead to another situation of how BfA failed with azerite powers.

Also can we have Tabard of the Argent Dawn as a reward? Its been a reward for every Scourge Invasion before.

Canā€™t blame covid for covenants being a thingā€¦

Iā€™m glad you guys took the feedback to heart and were allowed to delay it. Cheers.

Blizzard Iā€™m extremely PISSED. I have limited windows that Iā€™m allowed to ask for time off, as well as my time off requests have to be submitted 8 weeks prior to taking the time off!!! It is now too damned late for me to change or adjust my time offā€¦this is BULLSH*T!

Good on yah, just want to show my support.

wow what an old-school blizz move you just did. Iā€™m in shock.

Didnā€™t they say the end of this year? I am guessing the end of November will be the launch.

I wouldnt expect it till around christmas

90% of people : Thank you blizzard

Honestly, a delay is fine as long as they release the prepatch to let us mess around with that for a while. I expected a delay in prepatch but was happy to see thats coming in a couple weeks.

I have plenty of things to do beyond the pre-patch to do. Please take all the time the company needs to have a great experience and expansion.

It is, and it would have been better if they had announced it sooner, but given the time lines in game dev Iā€™m fairly confident saying this decision was probably made very recently if not this morning. Given the obvious state of things in beta, I think this is ultimately the right decision, and not one made lightly, and we are still at least getting prepatch now, even if additional class changes need to be made for launch. While in my opinion Blizzard has made a TON of poor decisions in recent years, and donā€™t totally agree with current game direction, I also think this is ultimately the best decision for the game, for themselves, as well as for us as the players, and we should be supporting it despite disappointment we may have in the delay. At the end of the day, releasing disappointing, broken, and on-time as the last few expansions have has been an awful experience, and I would rather jump into a new expansion excited and awed by it than frustrated and early.

Noooooooooooooo. I actually want to play a worse expansion earlier than better expansion later. I am done for BFA.

I can only imagine how hard this conversation must have been with all of the executive leadership. Huge kudos to you all for fighting for the quality that will properly represent your many hours of work and dedication to your craft.

Best decision you could make, itā€™s worth waiting for it to be done right. Itā€™s been a tough year for getting work done.

Impossible, after Cata they swore of dec. releases. It puts too much during the holidays.

Them releasing prepatch on the 13th puts the expansion release around Nov 17, dec 5 at the latest.

Dope news! Buncha homies are malding but hopefully theyā€™ll be assuaged by a good experience come end game. Just donā€™t you do anything that would hurt Shadow, cool?

Congratulations on a tough call to be made yet right decision for the game.

bugs, balancing and content?
