With the game being so behind, I wonder how much content Blizzard will have to appease Activision assuming that Blizzard is still on the “New expansion every other year.” Legion 2016, BFA 2018, SL 2020…
This realization makes me sad.

I can see SL going down the line of WoD, for size and scope.

Just more renown levels and Anima grind from here on out

Seems crazy to create all these Covenant and then just scrap it early for a new XP but who knows right.

A lot I’d say. And to make up for it, more grinding systems.

Source ? 9.1 seems to be going into beta at about the right time in the expansion for normal expansion pace.

It’s been 132 days since the expansion launched, and we still haven’t seen the first content patch on the PTR. By the time it comes out it will have been 200+ days. More than half a year.
There’s nothing “normal” about that.
(And no, 9.0.5 was not a content patch).

EN and Uldiir lasted 4 months. They were 6 and 7 boss raids. Both were complained about for being too short and too easy.
CN is a 10 boss raid. Mythic launched Dec. 15th. It’s April 3rd. 600 guilds have cleared. 6k are at least 5/10.
Nighthold was also a 10 boss raid. It lasted 6 months. Nearly 2k guilds cleared.

Tons was cut, Blizzard just doesn’t tell us about it anymore
Not after warlords anyway
I don’t think they have another Legion they can pull out of that reserve bag that they have had in the past. They really are gonna have to do some magic to make the current xpac better.

News flash: it’s not all about raids.
By the time 9.1 finally hits it will have been well over half a year since there was ANY new content added to the game.
What those numbers say to me is “no wonder the game is haemorrhaging players.”
They’re basically designing a game played by millions of people around the skills and playstyles of a tiny handful of people.
I think they learned a bitter lesson after their hilariously “but the LORE!” excuse for cutting the WoD faction capital cities went down like the wet sandwich they surely should’ve expected it to.

I know. Most of these “no content” posts are made by players that don’t raid, M+ or pvp.
Who is actually shocked that there isn’t much to do if you skip most of the endgame content?
Millions of people claim to love Wrath. There was even less to do…
BfA released Aug 14, 2018
Patch 8.1 was released December 11, 2018 and that was long compared to legion’s first content release.
Since SL launched mid Nov, patch 9.1 should have arrived mid March… but there is no PTR yet. In no way is patch 9.1 going to be “on-time”
It will be, if it isn’t already, the longest drought of content to open an expansion. I think the customers are right to be grumpy.

“Endgame” should be about more than instances.
It used to be.

This is patently false… Just because Wrath wasn’t bogged down by lame power systems doesn’t mean there was less to do. Did you even play Wrath?
BFA felt cut too… I mean cmon, you really think that was a fully fleshed out N’Zoth kill? That was a total joke with such a disrespectful ending to one of the greatest looming threats we’ve seen.

Azshara and N’Zoth could have been the whole expansion but they were relegated to content patches… Blizz is obviously mindlessly grasping at straws trying to do more with less and its killing the game.

BFA should’ve stayed a faction war theme to flesh out and reignite our hate for each other. Then Azshara and Nzoth in another expansion to where Azshara is like the firelands mid tier of the xpac for sure. Then we should’ve gotten an emerald nightmare/dream expansion instead of SL to repair all of the damage done by the corruption of the old gods. They are creating new bad story instead of flushing out material that is good and already there.

or a combination - that could have worked with releasing the Emerald nightmare/dream first leading --teasing out ways to save our hero’s first, then into the last half of expac in SL
yea feels liek they just grasp and all the big threats for a single raid tier and its all getting wrapped up too fast. makes me feel like they want to close the story on WoW and end it w/ the cosmic war.
