Its getting to play the game when it actually releases, yeah? Like a game doesn’t naturally drop on a Monday, it drops on a Thursday so players can play over the weekend.
Blizz is really just milking players who want to play on time, not early. Is this a practice we want to see normalized with Blizz or gaming in general?

Early is early. If I am supposed to get in at 10 and I get in at 8, I’m early. If I get in at 8, and normally it opens at 10, except on Sunday which is 12. I’m still early.

Yes. I’ll pay a premium to keep out the riff raff while my rich friends and I level and sip martinis.

I’ve seen this practice for well over a decade now. It’s been normalized for a while.

Well early is one way of putting it. Im sure the officers would call it Breaking and Entering though

Still early. Cause when the fuzz shows up, first thing I am telling them is, “you’re late”

Do I think it’s a pretty low move from blizzard? Yes.
Did I buy early access? Also yes.
So idk, don’t trust my opinion idk

Blizzard has traditionally released expansions on Monday/Tuesday so they can be in the office to fix the game breaking bugs that inevitably occur. So yes, this is an early release by Blizzard standards.

Look I just buy the collectors edition and have since BC. The early access was just part of it this time.
I don’t like it as a practice (early access), and honestly I may just play the pre release event more. I’m not really in that much of a rush. I’m a solo player and delves are going to be my jam.

My memory is like warmed ice cream that was refrozen, it all mushed together.
You’re saying that since BC early access has been a thing? I don’t remember, but that’s because I don’t remember.

The EARLY ACCESS is just EARLY LEVELING sadly blizzard has put a wall on anything end game. NO HEROICS, NO BGS, NO TIER 3+ DELVES. Really blizzard screwed it with this wall. They say its for fairness so people cant gear quicker than Non early access player. But then your paying for what? A early leveling experience? Cool.
