An Update on Shadowlands

Better delaying it then releasing it not finished.

It’s funny, I no longer see the unclosable timer bar at the bottom :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Hey, with the expansion delayed now and the cases in the US rising, there’s actually a chance I could get covid and die before the expansion.

Since you’re posting on a low level alt I’m assuming you are a troll. But I’ll bite, what you want doesn’t matter. If you took time off for this this than that poor decision is on you, not Blizzard. I’m assuming most here are fully functional adults and you should all know that a game can be delayed at the snap of someone’s fingers. Cyberpunk 2077 has seen multiple delays this year alone. You will live and life will go on.

This is good to see. But also, I hope Blizzard realises we don’t need so. many. systems.

It’s too hard to manage and balance. And even worse for new players.

Hoping for the best no less.

Good job on making the tough call. Software development is messy, and nobody like to see a highly anticipated product incur a delay. But even worse is releasing an unfinished update that actively makes things worse.

The pre-patch will provide plenty to do. I’m sure the Blizzard team is entering the Mother of All Crunches, but remember to take time to rest and recharge. Tired developers write sloppy code. Overworked testers miss important bugs and deviations.

Blizzard, thank you very much for delaying. The player base knew that the expansion was not ready.

You’ve really gained my respect delaying this and also announcing the pre-patch date. There is plenty to do in the pre-patch with the new revamped leveling.

Please take your time and polish SL up so it can realize the potential we all know it has.

It’s not a poor decision to take off on a date that blizzard hasn’t ever missed.

They have never delayed an expansion after a hard date has been announced, they just shouldn’t have announced the date.

you assume id be leveling when the switched is flipped… i might be leveling when everyone is asleep ( assuming i took leave ) and there is not a cluster f#$k of ppl in a zone fighting over mobs making it laggy as hell ( which we know happens now and I for one would not enjoy that after finishing 10hrs of work that day ). After testing Beta there are going to be a few of those places as its a linear direction now.

And after playing this game for 15yrs, they can polish all they want, its still gonna be broken.

You look like a Tauren, but you post like a Troll.

I wish I felt like digging back thru the forums to find the people who called people stupid and said things like ā€œThey can’t delay now that they’ve announced it, it isn’t legalā€ and ā€œYou’re a total moron if you think Blizzard will delay it, they will just release an unpolished turd because they don’t careā€

I mean, it’s the truth :stuck_out_tongue: i could actually have enough time now to die of covid

Can you change the name of ā€œStarfireā€ back to something that’s actually moon-themed so it fits the kind of spell it is? Lunar Strike, Lunarflare, Lunarpew, idc, just not ā€œStarfireā€. It’s not a star spell. It’s a small thing, but it goes miles I think.

i would like it to be delayed, until it is working and balanced. So good move blizz, not so good for players taking time off work.

It’s literally always been starfire O.o

I certainly would not wish that on anyone, especially not you, the resident devil’s advocate of this post.

Note to self: Never preorder, and never sub for more than one month from now on.

I don’t mind that they changed the date to have more time to make a good game: I do mind that it’s subscription based and I paid a subscription to a game that now has no release date.

If I could just… get a refund for the days between the 27th to the new release date? Because I’m pretty much done here. I’m not getting what I paid for after all.

Except for Legion and Battle for Azeroth, and I think that’s a good thing. ā€œJust cause historyā€ isn’t a good reason. It may be a pet peeve, but too bad.

Thank you. It means a lot to me that yall are taking your time with it, extra excited for final release.

Thank god. Everything I was seeing from streams and friends in beta was showing an october launch would be a cluster. And I have enough clusters in my life right now. Take all the time you need blizzard, just knock it out of the park when you do launch it.
