The month is stacked and if you guys go against Cyberpunk there will be alot of players playing catch-up including myself!
I have a prediction of either December or January for SL’s release. Pre-patch i feel is going to be happening for the LONG haul.
Christmas isn’t really the best time for it either though
If it’s released in November, I’ll be torn between playing either WoW or Cyberpunk. Chances are I’d pick Cyberpunk.
Does Cyberpunk compete against WoW? I don’t know much about the game.
Maybe devs want to get into the console action this holiday. I mean, they’re players too, right? Without having to worry and fixing stuff after a big launch.
December would be rather fitting, End of the year. The death of a year you could say, in the time of winter.
December is an awful month to release during.
November would be fine, single player games aren’t going anywhere. And lets be honest here… everything but cyberpunk stands a large chance of being a buggy mess, i don’t know about CP personally because i don’t like CDPR games, so it may be a buggy mess too.
But AC: Valhalla, that’s a Ubi game, it’s going to be months before that thing is good to play.
Late November seems very likely though and better. Releasing in December means it’ll clash with the holiday season. That was also the reason 8.3 was delayed longer.
I don’t think it matters at all coinciding with Cyberpunk’s release.
Listen. They promised a 2020 release. Who gives a f if cyberpunk is coming out the same time.
Let #s show, WoW will have more playing it.
No, blizz has publicly stated WoW is not going to go on console
Personally, I just wish they didn’t use the term, “later this year”. Because if it goes to January, it will then start to tick of a lot of people. They should have just said that they need to delay the launch longer now and leave it at that.
Im definitely playing CyberPunk, till max completion at that. I have good anticipation about SL but CyberPunk is just on a whole other level of hype for me. We need more mature games period. I cant wait!
I’m saying they play games too, like human beings that like to have fun, not WoW going console…
I mean they already stated prepatch is going to be in 2 parts. Along with they are offering refunds for the expansion at this moment in time, personally I won’t be pursuing one as I bought it with gold so IDC.
I feel like their going to have to release it during the holidays, and possibly push out the raid release schedules by a week to allow people to be able to catch up given a lot already took the time off. I do agree though that part of it is how ambitious this expansion is now that I got beta. It really is a lot different and more scaled up compared to previous releases.
HIGHLY DOUBT.
Oh, love your name also. Love Judge Judy!
Anyways, imo I hope they do launch during then because it will keep a lot of the non stop flying threads from happening because they will be playing Cyberpunk and maybe by the time they are done and playing catch up that they won’t start their gating whines (flying especially) until closer to the first patch.
You don’t have to yell at me.
They need to just push for january at this point.
Shadowlands will flop if released in November, because whose buying and playing Shadowlands over 2077 and the legion of other industry titan AAA titles releasing?
December will be ruled almost entirely by next gen consoles. This is also a bad time to drop Shadowlands.
The best marketable window right now is January, as im not aware of any competition present then.
I really don’t think there’s as much overlap as people think.
And I’d hate to have to wait til Jan to play a game I’ve been excited for so they can make room for games i couldn’t give a crap about.
at this point they took the delay they better use it. push it out when they are actually comfortable but also give us a heads up early on the release date. they can’t do it at specific times during the month i think due to how the content layout typically is unless they plan to hold it off for the holidays.
i think December 1st. gives us some decent time to get raid for raid. might push the raid back 1 week usually it comes out on the 3rd week right? 2nd i believe is mythic dungeons and then raid/m+ comes out the week after i believe.
