The past few days, I’ve been playing the beta, and I keep thinking to myself “It feels a lot better. It’s almost as if it’s done”. 50-60 leveling is perfect, the Maw is actually REALLY good now, torghast has been incredible for months. The only thing they need to do is balance things like conduits and classes and we’re golden. I feel like they can do that well enough for the next 5 weeks. I’m optimistic that this delay turned a mess into magic.

Well sooner than I was hoping for, but very well could be further a long than I keep hearing. I hope everything goes smooth.

Why? I was honest and it was a middle of the road answer anyway, could really go anyway with it. :rofl:

Thank you for the confirmation.
However, I would prefer any day in December. Seeing the month “December” in the launch date would make me more confident that there will be a smooth launch, and a good in-game experience, that won’t need a fix or change a month or more after the fact that should have just been in launch.
Thank you for your hard work, and I hope this is something I’ll want to buy and play.

They literally changed experience in the 50-60 again last week. You still can’t quite reliably level to 60 without some shenanigans because of how some campaign quests that block advancement have level requirements that are pretty tight to reach by doing the previous content. If anything, the first leveling experience “worked” and they have only broken it each time they’ve iterated on it since.

I had time off that week anyway because Turkey day. Sweet.

Not sure why people are hating on the release date. Already have 2 days off that week so it’s a nice long weekend to hit up a game.

Yeah Thursday is tied up with family, but then have late Thursday night and Friday and the weekend.

Right, so again back to my comment about them doing a TON of work in the last 4 weeks…so yeah that.

Seriously… WHY November 10 for Event???

Why?
You obviously have it ready to go on live. You’ve been turning switches here and there. First Nathanos, then some mawsworn in Icecrown.

Why do you have to keep this stupid time-gating mentality???

You won’t be leveling during Thanksgiving. It comes out the Monday before. You have Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday before to level. If you aren’t rushing the first two or three days, then this isn’t going to negatively impact you anyways by putting you one day behind others since you’re not rushing for any 1st place achieves. As for Mythics, just don’t do the progression then…? There’s likely 2 or 3 months before the next raid anyways, so it’s not like you have to get it done right then and there. The people who want to do it will do it, the ones who don’t won’t.
