Thoughts on why DM got moved up?

I get it, you’re embarrassed because you’ve sunk a lot of time and effort into something that was easily disprovable and now instead of moving on you’re going to double down.

Kinda par for the course on these forums.

I didn’t say they would follow Vanilla’s release schedule…

Faithfully recreating the Vanilla experience is what I expect and keeping to a very carefully thought out plan, rather than peddle content for subscription purposes.

The post quoted partly below clearly shows the thought process in why Dire Maul would be in phase two… along with Kazzak and Azuregos… if there was some reason NOW is a good time fo Dire Maul… it should also stand to reason that Kazzak and Azergos would be “ripe” for consumption as well. But then we have that sticky, messy layering problem still right? So let’s peel off Dire Maul to get subs… but not deal with Layering just yet.

MC and Ony are severely undertuned and they are rushing content put to stop people from quitting.

Okay and where in there did they say they would be following the exact timeline of vanilla?

All they said was that they would be releasing content in phases. Something which noone has denied and something they are still in fact doing.

Sorry man… no more time can be wasted on you now that you are simply repeating yourself. Enjoy 8.3

I agree that Dire Maul and the world bosses should be released at the same time, i just think with 1.12 itemization that time should have been at launch.

The warlock reasoning is legitimate. Paladins, however, nah.

  1. Popular dungeon with great pre-raid BIS gear.
  2. Needed for the Pally and Warlock level 60 mounts. That alone is pretty important since otherwise, you’re just depriving a player of a core class reward.

Honestly, those complaining about DM-X being released now are just people complaining for the sake of complaining. The vast majority of players, regardless of level, want to see new content being pushed out sooner than later. Helps for Level 60s, and has zero impact on lower level characters.

BWL wa released 7.5 months after launch.

Im curious if they will hold BWL until April to be consistent.

The funniest part of this post is them stating there will be any actual progression in raids.

Clearly they did it to stop the argument: “DM for Deadmines is fine - Dire Maul hasn’t been even released yet”

Not sure… but they will stagger the content phase releases out over 2 years… you can be sure of that.

IMO it would make the most sense to just do 6 months of each raid tier, which would be right at 2 years.

I read somewhere that it’s because casters actually were hindered when vanilla was released because they had no proper stats, spell power etc when they fixed them in 1.12 or some patch like that can’t remember the exact patch. They just dumped a bunch of the gear into Dire maul, so since they started the game with the 1.12 version in theory Dire maul should of just been released in p1 casters have to wait till Dire maul is released to actually be able to have proper stats. So it shouldn’t matter that Dire maul is getting released earlier it’s not going to replace any raid pieces really its just going to change a few pieces on your pre raid bis.
