Dire Maul Releases at 10:00am PDT

maybe all the skeletons around blackrock will move to feralas

One dungeon is now “major content”? I think people are vastly overvaluing DM.

I’m disappointed in the the late announcement on this from Blizzard. The classic community manager has let us down.

I’m not going to play semantics with you. No retail release has ever been treated this way, not even the much maligned patches with a dearth of content like the first for WoD.

Bumping so people will stop posting “when will DM be released?” threads…

To literally anyone who thinks “Why would you take the day off to…” just go ahead and consider that your priorities are not everyone else’s priorities.

Maybe you take a day off of work for your birthday, and I think that’s absolutely asinine. Maybe you take a day off to observe a religion that I do not subscribe to. Seriously, whatever the reason, I don’t care. It’s your discretion on what days you take off and why.

Especially given the time frame of this release (a Tuesday… which is the most common raid day in the game), many people took the day off in hopes to prepare for raids. It’s a pretty courtesy with something like this to give a reasonable time frame, and the fault on that lies on Blizzard, since it was implied that it would be available following server reset.

is there patch notes?

Remember what they say about assuming…

Don’t assume anything, and if you do assume, don’t get pissy when your assumption is wrong.

The fact we have to make assumptions about release times is ridiculous. There are hundreds of players staying up to what is currently 3am in Australia waiting at the doors before they finally announce what time the content is coming out. Surely it would be server OR instance reset time, no, an hour later. Surprise.

What will you do in 2 weeks when the Streamers are bored with DM? You going to release more content screwing the other 80% of the player base?

hopefully they announce when BGs are coming. it doesn’t matter what level you are, it would be nice to have WSG in game right now.

How is DM release screwing over the player base?

Most people in vanilla weren’t 60 when DM hit
Most people in vanilla weren’t 60 when honor hit
Most people in vanilla weren’t 60 when bgs hit
Most people in vanilla weren’t 60 when BWL hit

I could MAYBE see an argument about not releasing AQ until a decent chunk were 60

It subverts Scholo, and Strath dungeons.

No it doesn’t.

You must be new here.

BGS yes please!

why do you people keep posting this? do you really think i’m going to stop running strat and scholomance, just because dire maul was released? there’s items I still need that DON’T drop there.

Maybe not you but most people will, and the player base leveling will miss out! Happened in Retail happening again!

Sounds like those players should band together and run those dungeons when they hit 60.
