Yeah, bit disappointed to see it back
I was hoping they would at least try but then they announced they’re just recycling old tier

I didnt get to do fated in SL so im kind of excited to pick up a few things ive missed in DF

Same! I also missed s1 of DF, so some of this will be new for me.
Once again.
The alternative is nothing.
That’s what we got in previous expansions until SL.
If you don’t like it, don’t play it.
It’s not meant to replace a tier.
It doesn’t last an entire tiers length.

Of course it is. That’s the point.

I missed S2 and thats the set my main is getting going forward into fated so…not really all that excited about it because its lackluster, but hey! Time to see what i can do wkth it
We have gotten additional raid tiers in previous expansions.
The alternative is nothing? Says who?
Did Blizzard just not basically double their development team? Nothing has even come close to the cadence of Legion
Edit: Not to mention they’re monetizing the game more aggressively than they ever have

No, the alternative is something else.
The problem is that people are accepting this as being “something”, but it’s horrible. Even an entire timewalking season would be better than rehashing the current raids into an entire season.
Just because you can’t imagine anything better doesn’t mean it’s the best solution.

Says the entire run of this game.
There has always been a big drought from the last raid tier to the next expansion. Fated just fills the gap.

If memory serves me right.
TBC, Legion, and BFA were the only ones that had 4 seasons (if we are not counting fated and such) while all the other expansions only had 3. Of the 3 season expansions, we have had long content draughts at the end prior to the release of the next expansion, with some draughts hitting over a year long.
Looking at history, looking at past expriences, looking at how Blizzard has handled past expansion lead up, you see the trend of either Fated S4 or long S3 with content draughts.
Look at the time line Blizzard presented. When we get Fated, it will be shorter than any previous fated system has lasted. Why introduce a full S4 when we will be cutting it shorter for next expansion (see time line looking at a summer release).
Fated vs nothing is your choices

Legion had the benefit of WoD being scrapped, giving them additional time.
We could have had two tiers in df and a bigger war within if you wanted a repeat of Legion.
I don’t care how this company is managed.
Legion set a standard that I want

Don’t worry, there will be a 10.3.5 patch just like todays to hold you over.
Wotlk had 4 seasons also.
tiers 7 8 9 and 10.
although tier 7 was partially a fated tier. kind-of.

Lol
OK, but they told you their plan ahead of time and you giving them money is telling them that you accept their plan.

Hahaha,
Thank you.
Maybe my mind is going, Legion and BFA sure, but maybe it was WoTLK not TBC and I got them mixed up in my mind. Or maybe both, argh ill have to double check when i get home.
Thanks for the clarification!!

No we didn’t. In WOTLK, the gold standard of WoW because it came out when the average WoW player was 12, had almost a year of ICC.
afaik the development teams are working horizontally. So they already have teams working on Midnight and TLT atm.

TBC had a … very strange tier 6.
it started out 5-piece and it grew to 8-piece in Sunwell. with higher ilvl so it was borderline t6.5 merged into t6 bonuses.
it was technically 3 tiers though.
