I’m not gonna be that guy that says, “well can’t you reschedule”, or “well your job sucks get a better job”.
I will be that guy that says, “yeah it sucks, you lost this round. But given the world circumstances and that delays happen, you should have factored this risk into your time off plan and been at least cognizant it could happen.”
TBH I had hoped this would be the case if the bugs / imbalances / other issues couldn’t be worked out in time, so I’m glad to hear it. Take the time you need and please keep us updated.
Good work Blizzard! Happy to see how much you care about the overall quality of our next adventure. Thank you!
I’m glad to hear it’s being delayed. I would rather have a polished expansion that’s ready to go, than one that is rushed out the door and is a mess. Thank you, Blizzard for making that decision. I know that can’t have been easy to do. Take the time you need to get it right. 
Much rather have this than a buggy release. Whoever pushed for the delay, right call.
Unfortunately, I probably won’t be able to reschedule time off because of the nature of my job, so I’m actually pretty pissed about this. I want the game to be good but I’m convinced now that the staff just aren’t lining up their ducks in a row anymore and I feel like this is symptomatic of a bigger problem at the company.
Sure it is, I’m part of this discussion too. That’s an odd thing to say. Hopefully you aren’t trying to dismiss someone trying to discuss with you.
I mean I’m disappointed that they announced a date without being ready. But I can’t be disappointed in the delay.
I mean now I’m having to awkwardly ask if I can adjust the leave time I took, and we suddenly don’t have a date.
Wish the prepatch was next week. I honestly just want BfA to be over with and get some fresh, fun content to play. Gaming is so dull right now
Imagine being mad that a product isnt released a utter mess
Ok. I understand why people are happy. I also appreciate that you took the decision to delay to make it a quality expansion.
BUT! At the same time I’m super pissed. You had a huge window where you could have announced a launch. The fact you chose such an early date instead of Nov/Dec shows you were rushing and ready to release an incomplete game (glad you didn’t)
Also plenty of us here are adults. Me and all my mates have booked MONTHS in advance for leave to play a new expansion like we have since release. We CANNOT just change this at the dime of the hat and are all pissed.
We all feared the Oct release date was pushing it, fearing this would happen. So I’m glad you acknowledge you need more time. Please remember for the future your release date is much more time critical for your players than other games (looking at you cyberpunk).
This!
I know I can wait a little longer, need to make more gold. 
Agreed. Polish away. The prepatch will tide me over. Looking forward to leveling a lock while I wait for the expansion
Probably good for the quality of the game, but at the same time - rip all the people that took time off/cashed in vacation days/made plans/etc
I know this had to have been a massively difficult decision to make but I really think it was the right one. Take all the time you need.
One: It shows that you still care about quality
-means you didn’t finish on time
Two: It shows you’re willing to risk the ire of ‘some’ of the base
-what risk? is the safest option since the client wont see what is happening or know when will have the product in his hands.
Three: It shows that you seem to have learned from past happenings.
-if they haven’t learned in 15 years and all previews expansions they wont apply that learning in this one.
That’s ok. Level an alt, explore the class changes, or just go outside and get some fresh air 
.
Thank you! I am so glad that more time will go into polishing the game. Keep up the great work and continue to communicate with players on feedback!
Don’t forget to tell issues with your classes after the prepatch.
That must have been a tough decision, and I’m sure not one that was taken lightly. We look forward to your releasing a patch you’re satisfied with, when it’s ready. Thank you for your work and for keeping players in the loop.
I’m not one for posting on forums…but I feel compelled to say something this time around. It’s notoriously hard to get corporations to move off schedule.
For what it’s worth, thank you for bumping this release date forward. It won’t fix everything, but it will surely help give devs precious time to work on balancing.
p.s. Sorry to all those who can’t reschedule that time-off block
