Pre-Patch?

This.

I understand the company needing certain amount of leeway and respect that need but, at this point, I think the lack of communication is bordering on just plain inconsiderate and rude.

It doesnā€™t suggest anything, strongly or otherwise.

You donā€™t tell me anything. What a dumb thing to argue over.

Well you didnā€™t really explain the reasoning behind your assumption. There is not a single thing pointing to this Tuesday being the pre-patch day.

Except for the background download. Sorry youā€™ve got your watch out counting the seconds.

And yeah its an assumption, how would I know when exactly its going to drop?

Like what is that? ā€œThis guy didnā€™t label his comment as an assumption at 530 pacific time, I guess Iā€™ll argue on an internet forum over it.ā€ Zero justification.

Would be surprised if less than 2 weeks noticeā€¦ at this rate, we may only get 2 weeks of pre-patch. They did 2 patches this week, I donā€™t think they are ready.

I wasnā€™t arguing, I was only asking why you thought that was the case, you are the one who overreacted to my question. If you say it ā€œstrongly suggestsā€, then youā€™d expect thereā€™s a concrete reason behind that and I wanted to know what it was.

And now you backtrack? After such a dumb confrontation? Hereā€™s the thing, on this forum, nobody respects you, especially if you win.

Who respects someone who argues about made up elves? Now bullshido, thereā€™s a manā€™s forum.

Confrontation? It was a simple question and youā€™re acting like I personally insulted you somehow.

There are no simple questions on forums. Its just people fighting.

Youā€™re like that guy in class that perks up and interrupts someone with junk nobody wants to hear.

ā€œActually teacher, the final battle of the war of 1812 happened two weeks after it ended!ā€

In accordance to current bullshido industry standards, this man has backtracked for two posts, netting me a win.

Wouldnā€™t be surprised to see the 2 week PvP season announcement this coming Tues.

Then Pre-Patch activities start on Oct 6th for 3 weeks of zombie squashing.

Then we see SL full on as the Banshee Queen becomes the Lich Queen.

Prob October 8thā€¦thats two weeks prior to live launch

Whats there to speculate or even complain about really. With these key facts the solution is obvious

  • We know Pre-patch is 4 weeks long

  • We know Shadowlands release date

  • We know Shadowlands is on track to hit that date

And yet we still donā€™t know when itā€™s coming. The 29th seems to be the odds on bet to win, but not one tweet about it has come out. Blizzard really needs to fix their transparency is all Iā€™m saying.

Off topic edit: I like how I quoted you and blocked it correctly and it got auto deleted, but I went back manually and did the same thing and it worked.

They did send the emails earlier in the week warning that stuff is going away. While not an end of season warning, it was still a hey, timeā€™s running out.

Still though when is the date? I got emails of the exact date of the last ffxiv patch and I donā€™t even play the game anymore. I know a month out when and at what time it was coming out. All Iā€™m saying Blizzard needs to stop milking subs with fear of missing out.

Really Iā€™m surprised weā€™ve not been given a concrete date by this point. Could be that theyā€™re not certain yet either. Given theyā€™re working from home this cycle could just be vastly different. We may not even get an announcement.

I would expect at least one more PTR build to be pushed next week, unless weā€™re all caught by surprise and the patch drops the 22nd. I seriously doubt this, but it could happen. I still think itā€™ll be the 29th.

It sucks but everyone is playing the waiting game.

Since we have not had the ā€œMawā€ related cinematic, I hope its 1 week after that.

I think thatā€™s what bothers me the most. Just give us a freaking date. Iā€™m already letting my subscription go because of having to wait with no idea when.
