Shadowlands: Castle Nathria and Season 1 Goes Live December 8

Scroll up.

Ya, and why is this hobby lesser than that one? Im not arguing for Limit or an olympian. I am arguing for the average mythic player who knows raid spots, recruiting, and early progression are most critical and established early in a raid tier.

I understand complaints from streamers and people on teams like Limit, since they actually do get paid to do this. I’d hazard a guess that the majority of the people raiding mythic don’t get paid to do it though, which is why I’m wondering why they would ever consider a video game that they don’t really get anything out of as more important than familial commitments.

And your sources are perfect? how is it then that no one can say how many subs wow has?

No database on wow is complete.

Just repost those mythic clearing #s. I cant seem to find them in all this chaos.

Then its time to find a real job :rofl: , Even World first raiders have normal jobs ,they go to gym, eat healthy . Whats your excuse ?

The problem is that Blizzard is going to rush out the next raid tier in April, turning Nathria into effectively a 3-month raid.

And then the last year of the expansion will be the last raid, because Blizzard seems incapable of learning how to pace their raid releases.

I hope y’all won’t have to work too hard fixing bugs with the raid during the holidays, but I understand why you are trying to release this sooner rather than later. Fingers crossed that the beta raid tests were effective and cute!

Maybe they will, maybe they won’t, who knows at this point, just trying to think positive about the fact that we have a date again. With schedule to somewhat adhere to, deeply I do agree they should wait till January, yet I understand what their going for. So if they do intend to go for the December raid release date, then a season extension is the best bet, otherwise waiting a month would be better.

What a weird start date. This seems kind of bad, both for players and for employees.

Man people complaining about having to cut time for studying or with family just to raid.

This thread is hilarious, if your guild gives the ultimatum that you must raid vs. attend activities outside of WoW. You don’t have a guild, you have a second job. Where I’m also willing to bet you wish your real job gave you more time off during the holidays, but it’s fine for people within the service you’re paying for to dictate your life as well.

I don’t think it’s 8% as dataforazeroth says. That is an opt-in site and most of the mount farming individuals will be more obsessive to get their entries in than a normal person. So I really doubt its a true parameter with 8%. Probably something like 5%.

DS was a fantastic raid, it just lasted too long. There was nearly no complaints about the raid itself until 5 months after it had released.

I wish I could give you more than one like. It’s the truth!! Unless your raid team is paying you to be there, I think they should let you sit out for a patch or two.

I was thinking the same. So much salt I think we need a

No opt-in site should be used for anything, we need to go off of scan sites that have a complete picture.

I’ll have to tell this to the former mythic raider in my household who will probably never come back to the game. I bet he’ll laugh at this timing.

I mean classes should be ending around when the expansion launches, although a lot will be doing finals for those couple weeks.

What? I remember the complete opposite, specially since people had to farm LFR first back then to gear quicker.
But fair enough. TBH I do feel for you it sucks, hope you can manage to have a good time in SL anyway.

I figure there’s a lot of scheduling why they can’t postpone the raid now that the expac itself was postponed.

There’s nothing positive about this. Them releasing the expansion the week of Thanksgiving means that there’s going to be game breaking bugs on release week that don’t get fixed quick enough. It’s common knowledge that Blizzard employees take off 2 weeks in advance for Christmas, so we’re going to also have a sloppy raid release too. This is not something anyone should be looking forward to.
