There will always be long q’s though, it happened for weeks in classic. So I don’t really see the argument I guess.
Yeha, but I’d like some agency in dodging the queues as best I can, doing a soft launch gives us at least some degree of agency for launch day at the very least
Launch later on in June/beginning of July for sure.
Prepatch will probably be June 1st imo.
July launch would be nice

I’m a bit confused. Why can’t they launch it on June 1st? No matter what the date is, people are gonna rush on to play.
It is launching on June 1st.

My guess is they want to launch TBCC before D2:R which is coming possibly at the end of June or not long after.
They don’t want two huge releases at the exact same time.
They also probably don’t want the launches to happen at the same time as 9.1. 9.1 would be a ghost town if it launched too close to TBC launch. It might be anyway, but this way you might have some people already bored of TBC by the time 9.1 comes out.
could be, they only have the luncher ticking down 26 days and whatever seconds and crap, but it does not really say if thats prepatch or what.
Although regardless this does add up to what I predicted over a year ago being June or July for TBC in some format.
So there is that.
For everyone’s information, blizzard does have the technology to give us a smooth launch. As a matter of fact they’ve used it extensively the last 3 expansions, and we got a modified version of it in classic. In anyone hasn’t guessed yet, it’s LAYERING!!! Providing they use it to handle the entire server hitting the same zone at the same time, it shouldn’t be an issue

so excited!
I think 2 weeks is fine since we have the reduced xp bars. And if that’s not enough for you… you’ll be fine.
