Okay, here’s a possibly stupid question about patches:

Explain to me why Patch 10.0.7 is next if we’re on 10.0.5? Where’s 10.0.6? And if there is gonna be a 10.0.6, why is this stuff not gonna be in that?

I’m just all types of confused right now. :person_shrugging:t4:

:pleading_face: <10 Char>

10.0.6 was probably an internal build that just isn’t getting pushed to live.

Public software version numbers are arbitrarily assigned by the software developers. There are no rules dictating there has to be a .6 between .5 and .7.

Did you find going from 10.0.2 (Dragonflight release) to 10.0.5 to be confusing?

Or, they’re leaving themselves a placeholder in case something blows up spectacularly requiring them to push out a 10.0.6 as a result.

I would assume that’s because 10.0.75 would be the midpoint between 10.0.5 and 10.1. It’s clear that the second number is intended to be the raid season so we can’t increase it without unlocking the next content tier. So any minor patches they make before that just split the difference. Since they don’t want to put the whole 10.0.75, they just drop the trailing 5, giving you 10.0.7.

Interesting, well thanks for the answers guys.

I genuinely wasn’t paying attention until Worgen Monks got announced. That’s something I’m really looking forward to, and when I was looking up past patches to get a rough idea of how long it’ll be before it comes out, that’s when I noticed how weird the numbering is.
