Thanks man, was looking for a simple comparison. i don’t see why they wouldn’t keep it pretty similar. Also gives them plenty of time to figure out what they plan on doing for after Phase 6. Whither/Weither/Weather/Wheather (<-----FOR real I have no idea) it be BC or 1.13

Does it specify when the Unarmored Mounts will be available for purchase?

Swink-zuljin · June 11, 2019, 1:04am

What month will most of the population hit 60?

You know they won’t be in classic right?

Lagspike-duskwood · June 11, 2019, 2:04pm

Nice time line. I appreciate the effort you put into this post, with nice formatting and all. Very informative and easy to digest

Lapdance-garona · June 11, 2019, 3:33pm

I don’t think it takes this long again. Many of those things were being developed and had to be hard-wired into the client back then. Now, they are already there and Blizz just needs to flip a switch.

I also don’t see them taking 7-8 months to open BGs.

Nubling-jaedenar · June 11, 2019, 3:50pm

why not?

if they release too early they risk upsetting no-changers who thought they’d have more time because time between content was long in vanilla. and if they follow the schedule they get a bunch of extra months of subs from us

Might be worth considering that Blizzard stayed they will modify the release timeline based on people’s progression.

Assuming progress occurs 10% faster, maybe escalate your timeline 10%?

I know this post is a few months old, but just in case… It’s actually supposed to be (((whether))). 0 out of 4, sorry friend

Hytatemo-boulderfist · August 21, 2019, 12:21pm

It hurts sometimes…i just wish we could have one. Can’t we just have ONE!!!

Bónestorm-saurfang · August 21, 2019, 12:24pm

Hahaha! My sympathies. I have 5 friends called ‘Shaun’, and they have 4 different spellings between them. I had to add pictures to their profiles on my phone… I still get it wrong

Dboifresh-laughing-skull · September 1, 2019, 8:15pm

I would really like to see BGs before april

Muelly-bloodsail-buccaneers · January 28, 2020, 5:11am

If that is the case and AB will not drop be for July I think I will give up before then tbh

Korlandril-smolderweb · January 28, 2020, 6:16am

WSG/AV came out early and BWL as you can see is coming out 2 months earlier than the original timeline. I’d expect AB to come out a little ahead of phase 4 so probably in April/May.

Ramalot-kirtonos · January 28, 2020, 7:51am

Also consider BWL is like 6 months from name day. 6 month subscriptions expiring. So if you follow that formula, Phase 5 will be in August, and Naxx will Feb 2021.
