New Phase not until mid-late jan/early feb?

That’s a lot of time spent running BFD :frowning:

Where is that stated?

Their roadmap eludes to it. It has SoD p2 after RS release which is Jan 11th. So mid Jan to Feb is likely

Fun fact, Winter starts in December. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. SoM phase 1 was about 1 month, and I expect SoD to follow the same schedule. So I expect phase 2 to be on or around Dec 30.

They said from the beginning it was likely going to be around 2 months.

Well I’m not really worried about it since it’s just SoD… We can always play Wrath/Retail/Hardcore/Era

I love how Cataclysm Classic beta is just kind of shoved in there behind everything else. Because nobody will be playing it. :rofl:

Ruby Sanctum infographic is listed before SoD phase 2 and that has a release date of January 11th, so I doubt it.

Now I really want you to be correct. But Ruby comes out on the 11th and phase 2 SoD is after Ruby on the road map. I like to imagine thats in order but i don’t know.

They are not going to release a new phase during holidays.

Lot’s of time for me to twink out all 8 classes, max professions, and get WSG rep up.

Holy crap you’re 63 in a game that’s soft capped at 25 and hard capped at 60!?

Alludes*. Just FYI. Elude is to avoid; allude is to suggest. :slight_smile:

Even more precise: They said that SSF is coming in February (if you read the post)

This is plenty of time to get alts leveled and in some bfd

thanks!

I see the cata classic says $60 bucks to play, or theres a $30 heroic bundle but requires you to have a sub (for $60???) and the $80 bundle that has a sub and heroic items + 30 days of sub and a level 80 token…

why is a sub $60??

I could swear that there was a video where they said each phase would be a few months long. Then SOD launches on Nov 30th and in less than two weeks post with this same question began to appear.

I mean I get that it didn’t take long to get to 25 (have multiples) and some people maybe aren’t on the Alt Train. It’s just that the information was out there even if a concrete date wasn’t given. They said months… I guess we’ll see how that goes.

As someone nearly fully geared from BFD - I hope they make it longer. I hope it’s not until March 1st-ish time frame.

They need to go much further than they did with Phase 1. They need to slow down the content drip. They need to make the “journey” feel rewarding (which is the point of Classic WoW).

I always said that I had “hoped” that BFD would have a massive server/faction-wide attunement event to open the gates of BFD that would be much like the Scepter quest for AQ. So that there would be a week-2week delay to even starting the RAID in BFD. Something to bring the server communities together.

Instead - BFD was just “immediately” available to farm and cleared in under 48 hours. It felt cheap. I want them to focus more on “the journey” and “world” and “quests” and “community” than just “pump and dump” Raid’s to 60.

Because, then yes, it will feel very Retail. And Classic+ will be a waste.

What’s the rush? Give them time to make stuff.

I could go both ways on this, since I only have two max-level toons, and only 1 with all maxed profs and all runes. I still need to level cooking/fishing on one. With another full more (or more), I guess I’ll add a third to the mix… which class though?

And fwiw, I would have preferred if instead of only BFD, there was a second raid, and they were both weekly lockouts, even if they had the same ilvl gear, and shared loot tables. It would break up the scenery, and make it much easier to schedule regular groups around.
